Grillbird Phinney

New spot in the neighborhood worth trying! Delicious teriyaki.

All around 10/10 experience, customer service was great and the food was even better. I ordered the bang bang chicken and sesame chicken plate and it was so fresh and crispy. Definitely will be coming back!

My order was ready 33 minutes after scheduled pick up at 5:30pm. Upon arrival at 5:30, I was told it’d be a 5-6 minute wait. A few minutes after, I was told about 10 minutes 12-15 minutes max. At 5:50, I asked how much longer and was told 5-10 more minutes. If I knew the wait would be over 30 minutes, I’d rather have sat and enjoyed my tea at Atulea. My order was ready at 6:03… I go home and was pretty unimpressed with the small portion size and breading of the chicken katsu. The teriyaki was cold. It’s way smaller than what you’d get at Grillbird in West Seattle, and it was not worth the wait. The bok choy and sides were good, and they did offer to grab a free drink while waiting.

Super cute spot, I was excited to check it out. The rice, though, was doing its best impression of gravel — tough to get through. The sauces came in strong and kind of took over, so after a few bites it felt like I was battling the flavor instead of enjoying it. A little more balance would go a long way. That said, the vibe and concept are great, so with some tweaks this place could really shine. But for now solid no go for me.

This place is a chop shop and they are charging a premium. They got our order massively wrong. You cannot contact anyone. The food is not great and it's over priced. I was excited for this because phinney ridge is lacking good places for families to get a weekly or bi weekly takeout of healthy food.

Solid plate of food, but pricey. Had an issue with one of the orders of food we got, but they went out of their way to make it right/remake it very quickly. Vibed with the beef, katsu, and bang bang chicken. Enjoyed the Mac salad and cucumbers as well

We have been looking forward to Grillbird coming to the Phinney neighborhood! And Salad Party is a nice little bonus! As the salads are delicious and very nicely sized. The ingredients are fresh and well thought out! My husband and I sometimes work long days so it’s nice to know we can pick up something healthy on the way home. The customer service is excellent as well. They’ve only been open a week or so and already crushing it. It will only get better from here! Til next time. Thank you we will be back.

Quality chicken! Only a few tables available outside. The taprooms across the street and a couple blocks south have plenty of seating and encourage outside food, though

Delicious experience at the new Grillbird on Phinney Ridge. I ordered the Build Your Own Plate including grilled and bang bang chicken, mac and cucumber salads. Everything was freshly made - the grilled chicken thigh had a nice char and cooked perfectly. The bang bang was flavorful and had a nice kick to it. Both salads were good! Orders are placed on the kiosk upon entry. My order was ready in about 14 minutes on a Monday afternoon at 2:30 pm. There were 3 tables for seating outside, no seating inside. I plan to order online next time.

How I heard of this place: Friends were eagerly anticipating the opening of this new spot in Phinneywood. With their rave reviews of the restaurant in West Seattle, I, too, began following their long-awaiting opening. Type of cuisine: Teriyaki chicken, miso salmon, Katsu, beef, and sesame tofu & cauliflower are among the main dishes, along with sides of rice, noodles, cabbage, and a plethora of others; from Mac salad to beet salad, cucumber salad to egg rolls, there's a little something for everyone. Additionally, in the same space/kitchen and order counters side-by-side, Salad Party offers entree sized fresh salads to accompany or create a meal on their own. Ambiance: Simple, nothing much to speak of. Clean and minimalist. Bright orange barquette in a sparse lobby available for patrons awaiting their orders. What I ordered: On this first visit, and having heard the portions are large, we selected two plates (mains and two sides each). Teriyaki chicken with shredded cabbage, beet salad, and cucumber salad, as well as Bang Bang Chicken with white rice, mac salad, and 2 mini egg rolls. What I loved: The freshness of the cabbage soaked in teriyaki sauce under the beautifully grilled chicken. The cucumber and beet salads were full of flavor and robust in portions. The bang bang chicken had a nice kick of spice, especially good when the sauces soaked into the rice beneath. The egg rolls and mac salad, which was too peppery, I think we will skip on future orders. Why I loved it: It's a quick and easy spot to stop for a take away lunch during the week. Though, as they continue with their soft opening, having opened early this week, there are still some kinks to work through and speed to establish. Cost: average to high

Great Japanese take out, and a great addition to the phinney neighborhood ! I got the teriyaki chicken, chicken katsu, rice, greens (baby bok choy), and spring rolls. All were great, though I wish there was a little more rice for an adequate ratio of meat to rice. One "plate" was big enough for me to split into 2 meals so I was very satisfied.

So glad Grillbird opened up near me! I've had the one in West Seattle and always wished there was a closer location to me. The space itself is super cute and is joint grillbird and salad party! There's no seating so it is take out only. We ordered some takeout online, and the food was ready exactly when it said it would be. We ordered two build your own plates - one with spicy garlic chicken and sesame chicken and another with chicken teriyaki and bang bang chicken. They were great! Portions of chicken were large but I do wish there was more rice to go with the large meat portions. The rice was also covered in sauce from the chicken, and I prefer not as much sauce on my rice but that's a personal preference! I think our favorite was the chicken teriyaki and spicy garlic chicken! The spicy garlic chicken actually had a little bit of a kick, and the chicken teriyaki was cooked really well. We also got the fried cauliflower as a side, and that was great! Definitely will be coming back and will have to try salad party as well!

Run, don't walk to this new Grillbird location with added bonus of Salad Party! Food is beyond delicious, generous portions and an amazing addition to the neighborhood! Not your typical teriyaki joint or salad shop and for that, I thank you! Definitely will be a regular guest and supporting this killer biz.

The customer service is outstanding. Even when they made a small error that they could have brushed off, they instead made it right! Plus the food is incredible!!

Might have ordered 3x in the first week. Ohana meal with some sides was perfect to feed a crowd during a Seahawks pre-season game at home. Love this addition to the neighborhood! Delicious, easy ordering, wide range of options for the whole family.
