Ichi Bento - Shoreline

Ichi Bento is a quintessential example of what makes teriyaki places so great in the area of Seattle. The owners are friendly, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Although I have lived most of my life here, I am always grateful that these Mom and Pop restaurants exist. The chicken teriyaki and the chicken catsu I had were both excellent. The Teriyaki had a beautiful salty, umami coating of the Teriyaki sauce and the chicken catsu was perfectly roasted. The Katsu had no fatness at all and she had a wonderful crispy coating with every bite. Definitely recommend visiting.

Really good food, much bigger portions than I expected! You even poke holes for steam to escape, so the crispy food remains crispy when you come out! The Bento boxes were great! Chicken katsu was crispy and tender and the chicken teriyaki had a nice char and was juicy and tasteful!

I have been coming here for 20+ years and I have been treated like a tempura king every time. It's so delicious and nutritious. Please do yourself a favor and visit this establishment at least one time to try the bento boxes that will warm your heart.

Ten stars for delicious food and wonderful service. They are always so nice on the phone when ordering and when picking up despite the fact that they are almost always super busy. Highly recommend!

I absolutely adore Ichi Bento! It's my go-to spot for chicken katsu. Be sure to request extra sauce and come hungry!
