1314 NE 45th - Ginger Teriyaki

2/1/10 - shared a spicy chicken plate and a pork teriyaki + gyoza combo plate. Spicy chicken was excellent: tasty sauce and nicely crispy chicken. Pork teriyaki was very good, although sauce may be a bit too sweet for some people; gyoza were fine, nothing special. Side salad was better than most other teriyaki places, and two large scoops of rice on each plate were appreciated. Service was friendly, and food came out in a reasonable amount of time.

Overall, my favorite teriyaki place on the Ave so far (above Tokyo Garden and Nasai).

4207 - Than Brothers

2/1/10 - Shortest time from entering the restaurant to food in front of you. Usually one of my favorite pho places, but today the broth was bland. Maybe I am just used to the cap hill location. This place can get very crowded at peak hours. The cream puff is always a pleasant finish. They only have pho.
