Nasai Teriyaki
Though it shares its name with a half-dozen other teriyaki shops in town, this location on the Ave is the original. It shows its age, but it's been around so long because makes a first-rate version of classic Seattle-style chicken teriyaki. Expect white rice (a mountain of it); sweet, sauce-glazed meat (stick with the chicken); well-fried gyoza dumplings (worth the extra dollar); and a chunk of iceberg lettuce (so you can say you ate a vegetable).
