What's up with all the teriyaki places in Seattle?

[rumguy]

I've lived all over and I've never seen anything like it. They are everywhere. I like them - it's good, healthy fast food - but there are a lot of them. Has there always been so many?

1. There are a lot of them here in central NM, too

And you can't get much better than grilled meat and veggies over rice for fast food. It's a great alternative to the grease offered by the other places.

4. yep they are great - so much better than a fast food joint

I can get a 'chicken bowl' at one place for four bucks - and it's filling and very tasty.

2. Seems so in recent years

3. Yep.

I've learned that you have to be VERY careful which ones you eat at.

My new mantra? Never eat at an unsecured teriyaki place.

5. I have two or three that I frequent regularly

and I trust them....

6. Come to Mercer Island...

We have 5 Teriyaki places in 6 square miles of residential... though for the same price you can get much more variety and food at a Chinese or Thai restaurant.
