The Best Teriyaki in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"Despite the tragic death of its owner, Rainier Teriyaki stands proudly as a beloved pillar of its community. Co-owner Hansoo Kim was killed in January 2023 during a robbery and — after a couple of months — the restaurant reopened at the insistence of Hansoo’s younger brother, Eunsoo Kim. Today, Rainier Teriyaki continues to thrive and the Kim family still serves its community with a smile. The restaurant is often filled with regulars who are greeted by their first names. Portions are generous and prices honest—a hallmark of a beloved neighborhood teriyaki spot. Rainier separates itself with a made from scratch sauce that’s perfectly sweet, and every teriyaki order comes with extra teriyaki sauce and sambal chili to boot." - Joey Carreon
