Why it opens on teriyaki
Toshi Kasahara's counter on Roy Street opened in 1976, and by 2007 Seattle Weekly counted more than 100 teriyaki shops inside the city limits. A map search for "teriyaki" still lumps those counters in with sushi bars that sell a teriyaki roll. Washington Eats keeps the real list, 179 of them from Bellingham to Spokane with what each one serves, beside phở bowls, Dick's-to-Zip's drive-ins, oyster bars and places that have held one address for generations, all checked open in October 2026. 7,310 of King County's 8,678 places also carry Public Health – Seattle & King County's official food safety rating. Hours, photos and ratings come from Apple Maps' own card for each place.
How it works
Choose a list.
Start with Seattle Teriyaki, or open Phở, Drive-In Burgers, Oysters & Seafood, Honors & History, Oldest Places or King County's Food Safety ratings. Or type a name, a town, a street or a dish into search, across 20,240 restaurants.
Narrow it down.
Closest first once you share your location, or pick a town, a kind of food, or the map of the whole state. Teriyaki counters show their menu staples right in the list.
Head out.
Apple Maps' card has today's hours and photos. Call, get directions, or save the place for your next trip over the pass.

No price, no ads
Washington Eats costs nothing and shows no ads: no subscription, no in-app purchase, no sign-up. The list ships inside the app, so it opens with one bar of signal on a Bainbridge ferry or up on Stevens Pass.
Nothing about you is sent to us
The app has no account and no analytics, and nothing you do in it is sent to us. Location, if you turn it on, only sorts lists by distance on the device, and saved places stay there too. This website has no cookies or trackers. Read the privacy policy.
Questions
Who started Seattle-style teriyaki?
It's credited to Toshihiro "Toshi" Kasahara, who opened Toshi's Teriyaki on Roy Street in Lower Queen Anne in March 1976 (Seattle Weekly, 2007; Seattle Met, 2008). Plenty of shops still carry the Toshi's name; the one that is his today is Toshi's Teriyaki Grill in Mill Creek, which he opened in 2013.
Is this Washington State or Washington, D.C.?
The state, end to end: Seattle and Spokane, Tacoma and Vancouver, the Tri-Cities, Yakima, Wenatchee, Bellingham, Olympia and Walla Walla, 405 towns in all. Nothing here is in D.C.
What does Washington Eats cost?
Nothing. There are no ads, no subscriptions, nothing to buy inside the app and no sign-up. It runs on iPhone and iPad; there's no Android version yet.
How do you decide which places make the teriyaki, phở, drive-in and oyster lists?
By looking each one up in October 2026. A place goes on only with a 2025 or 2026 source of its own: its menu page, an ordering page it runs, or a dated local news story. A shop that is merely called "Teriyaki" stays in the 20,240-place directory, which comes from Overture Maps' open place data and King County's inspection records.
What do King County's Excellent, Good, Okay and Needs to Improve ratings mean?
They are Public Health – Seattle & King County's own food safety ratings, built from each place's recent routine inspections, and the app shows them exactly as published, through 2026-09-25. 7,310 King County places have one. They're the only county ratings in the app, and we never make up our own.
Where are the star ratings and reviews?
In Apple Maps. Tap any place and Apple's own card opens inside the app with its ratings, photos, today's hours and directions. Our lists go by region, town or distance, never by stars.
Does Washington Eats track where I am?
No. If you allow location, the lists use it on your iPhone or iPad to put the closest places first, and it never leaves the device. Search, the map and the lists all work with location off.
Spotted a closed shop, or one we're missing?
Email the shop's name and town to nick@eatsranked.com; the correction goes out with the next app update.
