Nasai Teriyaki

Ryan and I are close to concluding our tour of Redmond Teriyaki joints. After the Nasai, we only know of one more. Nasai was a good, if dull, penultimate meal.

Ambiance: Strip mall teriyaki joint; white tile ceilings; big lanterns that hung too low-- I bonked my head on one. The place was clean. The bathroom was clean. Sigh. I long for some excitement in teriyaki ambiance.

Seating: Ample. There were about a dozen booths and tables. The place was just about full as we left.

Beverages: A full line of Snapple, and two diet Cokes. Yawn. Been there, done that.

Quantity: Large quantity. Chicken special came with four gyoza.

Price: Chicken with gyoza was $4.95; as was Ryans’ Chicken without gyoza or salad.

Presentation: Clean plate with a pattern.

Blow Out: None! Is it just me, or is my digestive system adjusting to Teriyaki. I haven’t had a teriyaki blowout is so long. I’m bitter.

Bathroom: Clean. Boring.

Biggest disappointment. The art was normal. The pink lamps were odd, although they went well with Ryan's hair. The menu contained some good engrish phrases, but my camera blurred the picture up too much to read.

Taste: "It exploded in my mouth." Nasai conforms to the generally accepted teriyaki taste. Actually, I think the vat was fresh when we were served; Nasai is conformant plus.
