At Itadakimasu, the chicken teriyaki typically comes as a plated meal with grilled chicken over rice, accompanied by salad and a sweet-savory soy glaze. The kitchen is known for dialing in a balance of caramelization and moisture on the chicken, giving the teriyaki its reputation in the University District. Bites alternate between charred edges and tender interior, with the sauce soaking into the rice without making it mushy. Many teriyaki-focused guides highlight this spot for consistent execution across multiple visits, especially for chicken.
