Counter-serve space serving teriyaki & classic Japanese dishes plus vegan options in casual digs.
"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." - Meg van Huygen, Gabe Guarente, 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
"Fast casual teriyaki restaurant Grillbird just opened today on 35th Ave SW and Morgan Street. Owner Matthew Parker — a West Seattle resident — told Eater last month that the menu would be “small, but efficient.” All the teriyaki selections are gluten free, along with some vegan options, including grilled mixed mushrooms, tofu sourced from Vashon Island, and Chinese greens." - Gabe Guarente
