Toshio's Teriyaki offers chicken teriyaki that is often described as especially juicy, with grilled chicken laid over rice and accompanied by salad and dressing.[12][14] What distinguishes this plate is the house-developed teriyaki style, which aims for a balance of sweetness, salt, and char that differs from many copycat shops. The chicken has a pronounced sear while remaining tender inside, and the sauce coats both meat and rice without feeling overly heavy. Both long-time fans and writeups frequently point to this chicken teriyaki as one of the defining examples of the dish in Seattle.
