Offers teriyaki, vegan options, & fresh sides
"It’s difficult to put a fresh spin on teriyaki in this city, but West Seattle’s fast casual Grillbird restaurant tries its best with a wide range of protein and sauce options alongside the classic stuff like yaki udon noodles and spring rolls. The menu is halal and mostly gluten-free, and the tofu and cauliflower bowl is a fantastic vegan entree." - Laura LeMoon
"A West Seattle spot noted as a place to try teriyaki within city limits, offering gluten-free options and continuing the local teriyaki tradition." - Eater Staff
"A West Seattle teriyaki spot whose owner Matt Parker notes that a $54 pickup order placed on the restaurant’s website would cost $85 when placed through Uber Eats, highlighting how app surcharges can dramatically raise customer prices; Grillbird has seen an uptick in pickup orders as people try to save money, but those gains have rarely been enough to make up for the drop in deliveries." - Harry Cheadle
"Local celeb J. Kenji Lopez-Alt may not “get” Seattle’s love of teriyaki, but even he was wowed by the innovations at West Seattle’s Hawaiian-influenced Grillbird. They do the standard chicken teriyaki here, but also experiment with steak teriyaki, sesame tofu and cauliflower, and “Hawaiian Gold BBQ,” which tosses fried chicken in a sweet honey mustard–pineapple sauce. Their sides include mac salad and bok choy — no sad coleslaw cups here. When a format is a staid and traditional as teriyaki, this kind of stuff constitutes a revelation. Come get the next generation of teriyaki." - Leonardo David Raymundo, Harry Cheadle
"I saw that West Seattle’s Grillbird Teriyaki closed until further notice this week after detecting a COVID-19 case in an employee." - Gabe Guarente
