Review from Anthony L.

3/6/2012 1 Check-in Here
I work on the island and frequent Yoshi's during the week on a regular basis, and so does many others from my office. Favorite dish is the chicken and gyoza combo with hot & spicy treatment on the chicken. The hot & spicy is the real star, their spicy sauce is awesome. Sweet but with some real heat. The lady working there and the place in general is nothing spectacular but that's not why we attend teriyaki joints. The prices are also a little on the high side and they up charge $1 for hot & spicy. Even still I continue to gladly go back.

Excellent service and fresh, tasty food. The bowls offer a great alternative when I'm not hungry. The spice are good and the free, unlimited hot tea is great.

Teriyaki is definitely one of the most Americanized Japanese foods out there, no doubt about that. Nevertheless, it is pretty tasty.
Toshi's is one of the few teriyaki shops on the island, and probably the best. The other shops are no good, trust me!
At Toshi's, ordering is simple, just choose what type of teriyaki you want (or anything else on the menu). Then you can have your choice of salad or steamed vegetables. Always order the salad, no questions asked.
My favorite item on the menu is the chicken teriyaki, it comes with rice, as well as teriyaki sauce for dipping on the side. I always get salad, never the steamed vegetables because I can easily get that at home. Also, it's not that good here, usually overcooked, or burn
The chicken teriyaki comes with endless pieces of tender, juicy, flavorful chicken, marinated in a savory something something, then grilled on the fire top. The rice is cooked alright, I can make better rice at home in the ol' rice cooker. The salad is tossed in a white dressing. My favorite part is the teriyaki sauce because it is sweet and salty, the perfect pairing to the chicken. It's also great when drizzled over your rice.
I haven't come back for a while, but am planning to for quick lunch or comforting dinner.Listed in: Feeling Asian?

Review from Hawker C.

I always want to like little hole-in-the-wall shopping center restaurants, in the belief that there are plenty of unexpected surprises waiting to be found.
Unfortunately, this is not one of those pleasant surprises. It's just a grim, greasy little Teriyaki place, with an over-ambitious menu and an unpleasant little seating area. You get a bad feeling as soon as you walk in, because the ventilation in the restaurant is not good, and it's stuffy, smoky, and smelly inside. There's a complete menu of all the usual suspects. You're best off getting the plainest, simplest thing on the menu, such as chicken teriyaki.
Otherwise, give it a pass. -

The chicken was cooked nicely in my chicken teriyaki. However that's all I tasted was chicken. The poor excuse for a sauce seemed like a dressed version of soy.. I would advise avoiding this place along with the one in Renton which has low stars too, and same sign/name.

I hadn't been to this place since it first opened some odd years ago, so I wasn't even sure if it was still in business when I decided to check it out again. They have a huge menu with lots of options.
My favorite is chicken katsu. There's an option to order it as white meat so I tried it. Tasted good, but not worth the extra bucks. Their udon didn't taste the way I expected, but maybe I'm being picky. They also have beef kalbi and other Korean plates, but I haven't tried those yet. I love that there's a huge thermos of hot tea for free!
The family who runs the place is very friendly and there's a large flatscreen tv for your [fuzzy] entertainment. Just avoid this area on Fridays around 3pm... Middle schoolers take over the entire lot as if it's their playground and it gets a LITTLE irritating, especially when they're wandering (more like loitering) around the parking lot.
Minus 1 star because I've gone in a couple times and waited for my food for longer than what they had told me.. and I was on a lunch break and didn't have much time. -

I have given up on trying to call my orders in on this place. Anytime I have called my order in, I would ask for a order of eggrolls and she would say that it came with 2 eggrolls. and I would say yes, one order of eggrolls that comes with two, and I would end up getting two orders of eggrolls! This happened three times before I gave up. Not to mention this place looks as if it was homemade.
