Niko Teriyaki

This place is great! It has huge servings and is really cheap. The owner is so sweet and kind. I recommend the spicy chicken if you like heat!

Bigger portions. Good food. Good price. I work in the area, so I occasionally have lunch here and it works every time.

A disappointment. Teriyaki sauce and salad dressing could use some work, although they are probably both outta a bottle. The only positive thing is that service is good and the shrimps were cooked on the grill.

Good teriyaki place near us. Got the Niko dinner for 3 people with teriyaki, egg rolls, rice, noodles and salad. It was good and a lot of food we had leftovers. Glad we found a good teriyaki place close to our house. We’ll be ordering from there again.

I had the opportunity to try Niko Teriyaki today for lunch with a business associate, on his recommendation as it was very near to his office. It’s a smallish place inside, and can get crowded so you may want to come a bit earlier or a bit later than the peak of lunch hour.
I ordered the Kung Pao chicken with brown rice and I have to say it was VERY good. The rice as well. Service was good, but you do have to order at the counter and not at the table.
The one thing I’d like to warn readers about — if you don’t want «deep fried» and breaded foods, be sure to ask. Very seldom is Kung Pao chicken breaded and deep fried — it’s probably the thing I order most often in Teriyaki places, and have done so for years. However, Niko heavily breads the meat and deep fries it in oil. So I wasn’t able to have more than a small amount, as I no longer eat deep fried foods.
Was it good? Heck yes! There’s a reason though that deep fried foods usually are, and after losing 70 pounds 2 years ago I simply avoid ALL of them. Niko should take some time and relable their menu to indicate what is breaded and fried, and what is just stir-​fried in the Wok.
Very nice folks there — and for what it is, A-​OK as in 3 Unilocal stars

Niko Teriyaki is your typical strip mall teriyaki restaurant (and there are an abundance of these in the Seattle/​Snohomish area), but it’s fast, efficient, and gets the job done during a work lunch.
It’s definitely not the best teriyaki I’ve had, but I do appreciate the variety of things you can order, such as yakisoba, mongolian beef, and loads of other Chinese dishes. While I do find it somewhat unsettling that you can get Chinese dishes at a Japanese place, the convenience is nice.
Super cheap lunch combinations, too! I’d say every lunch is less than $ 10!

Always love going here. Portions are generous and cheaper than some other places I’ve been. Owners are friendly and I always expect to have the same great experience every time. I’ve never had a bad plate there.

The owners are great, the food awesome; my family’s favorite teriyaki place, period. Especially good if you consider how many teriyaki joints there

This one flirts with five star levels for the food, especially when you factor in the reality that they are a teriyaki place. What really sets it apart are the stir-​fries.
It’s just another standard-​issue little yaki shop in another standard-​issue strip mall. You’re heading up the Mukilteo Speedway, you’re gonna see a couple more identical setups before you drive off the end of the dock. That’s OK. Patterns are comforting. And the business architecture along the Speedway is nothing if not soothingly familiar. Even if you’ve never driven past it before.
Anyway, you walk in and there are a few tables, a little counter, the usual bottle cooler and soda fountain. Lots of pictures of the food. They put in a lot of vegetables here, and that’s one of the main things that elevates it past the ordinary. The stir-​fries show a lot of green, and other colors, and they really resemble the photos on the wall. No wonder they want to show you so many pictures of the food. It looks a lot different from the usual $ 7.99 chicken-​calrose-​iceberg specials everywhere else.
They have all the dishes typically offered at yaki spots, and the gyoza aren’t bad. I had the asparagus chicken stir fry, and it had so much more green stuff than ya usually get. Unfortunately, the spicing options here are pretty lame. The chili sauce is more like ketchup. And even for me, the floors are a little dirty here. But the prices are fair, the food is really good when compared to its peers, and the service is so, so nice. Four stars without a doubt, and this might be my new go-​to yaki joint when I am this far north. Just gotta start bringing my own hot sauce.

The chicken was pretty tender and very flavorful.

Excellent, Chicken Teriayki, with generous portions, and an owner prepared meal. (The also serve an excellent chicken and broccoli plate).

Started out slow, but now I love this place! $ 6 lunch specials are large enough to cut in half and use for lunch the next day. Free soup and drink with lunch special makes everyone happy. I hit this place about once a week now with my work group and is one of our favorites.

We honestly eat teriyaki at least 5 times a week. We’re in sales so we’re on the road everyday. We now eat at Niko’s every time. They owners are so friendly and genuinely nice. The food is ALWAYS perfect. The gyoza is the best we’ve ever had! It is not only consistent, but consistently great! Large portions. Free refills on soda. Free soup. Fast! Well worth a visit!

Food is average for teriyaki… price is on the high end. About $ 8 for a lunch teriayki meal. If you don’t pre-​order your food expect a 20 min. wait during the lunch hours.
