Japanese teriyaki always seems a little bland. Broadview’s Teriyaki Time is a perfect example.

The chicken in the #1 teriyaki is a little rubbery, not grilled quite enough, and I have the feeling it has been sitting around a while. The house teriyaki sauce is adequate though a bit thin and more salty than sweet. The white rice is good – fluffy and hearty. The accompanying iceberg salad, packaged in its own small Chinese food carton, features watery thousand island dressing and is fair at best.

The #1’s $6.50 plus tax price tag is justified - the portions will fill you up.

Overall, though Teriyaki Time’s #1 feels like just another Seattle chicken teriyaki. Nothing stands out, you won’t remember a thing, but happily you’ll be stuffed when all is said and done.

With a diverse menu that features everything from a dozen or more sushi rolls to many of your Chinese and Korean favorites Teriyaki Time probably won’t do you wrong though you could do better.
