Oh my god. My 6 and 8 year old demolished both plates I had the leftovers and it was bomb.com Mac salad 5/5 Beet salad 5/5 Cucumber salad 5/5 Holy moly I also got the oolong tea and ended up staying up all night. That baby was strong and delicious but I will not be ordering that 830 pm next time.

I absolutely love the bang bang chicken, but the teriyaki is also great. Their tofu and cauliflower is also amazing—the tofu is crisp and full of sesame and garlic flavor!

By the shimmering stars of Merlin's beard! As a wizard of considerable (if I do say so myself, and I often do!) renown, I've tasted ambrosia spun from moonbeams and nibbled on clouds seasoned with pixie dust. Yet, I tell you, good people of the mundane realm, the spicy poke bowl from Grillbird in West Seattle has cast a spell upon my very soul! Hark! Imagine, if you will, grains of rice, each a tiny pearl of the earth, mingling with the crisp tang of pickled cucumbers and the gentle pop of edamame. Then, a sprinkle of fried onions for a delightful crunch, a whisper of pickled ginger to cleanse the palate, and a verdant scattering of green onions, all embraced by a sweet tamari glaze that sings on the tongue. It is not mere food, my friends, but a symphony! A delightful, dizzying dance of flavor and texture, a complexity that somehow feels utterly, wonderfully good for the very fabric of your being. And the proteins! Oh, the glorious proteins! While their teriyaki plates whisper sweet enchantments and the other options beckon with savory allure, it is that spicy poke that truly sings a siren song to this old wizard's heart. After partaking in this culinary sorcery, I swear the very air tasted sweeter, the sun shone brighter, and existence itself felt like a grand, delightful adventure. I felt… rejuvenated, as if a powerful healing potion had coursed through my veins. And the keepers of this magical kitchen! The employees of Grillbird are not mere mortals; they are a fellowship of kindness, a coven of helpfulness! They move with the seamless grace of well-practiced spells, a true team working towards one glorious dream: to bestow upon the world the gift of truly magnificent food. Five stars? Nay! I'd give them five galaxies if I could! Go forth, dear mortals, and taste the magic for yourselves! You won't regret it. By the mystic fires of my hearth, I swear it!

Corner teriyaki shop in Seattle! Loved it! Juicy chicken and sweet teriyaki. We went in to order and even tho there was a line, we got our order within minutes of arriving. They offer some bougie drinks but no regular sodas like Coke or Pepsi. I wish they had actual seating areas but alas its only a food order/pick up spot. We were starving so we ate in the parking lot!

This place was really good. It is small inside but the employees are very professional and nice. They seemed to be really on it. It was pretty busy when we went. Food came out hot and really good. The only part that was annoying was the parking situation. I suggest street parking and then just walk over. The lot seems big but can get hectic especially when its busy. Will be back again

Tasty food! The chicken was tender and flavorful. The rice was cooked well and sticky. The spring rolls were crunchy and had good flavor. And lastly, the mac salad was good too. Customer service was friendly. My only complaints are that there was no where I could sit to eat and the floors need a good scrubbing.

The reviews are great because this place truly is incredible. The katsu and bang bang chicken are my favorite, but the teriyaki is also great. The Mac salad is so fresh and delicious, and all of the food is worth coming back for more than just once. Support local business!
