  Yep, previous reviews are correct.
  -the place is scary
  -not sure how they pass health inspection
  -the food was fine, not great
  -the chicken in my Yakisoba was dry, I think that it was previously cooked and simply reheated
  -TOO SALTY
  - doubt I will return

  This was terrible and I do not know how or why they are still in business. My spicy teriyaki chicken was in a watery soup. The food was inedible and went straight into the trash. Seattle is known for teriyaki and this place is a complete disgrace and disgusting.

  I got the yakisoba today it looks exactly like the picture and this very good I like the ratio of vegetables to Noodles and there's a good size chunks of chicken in there.

  "Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway." - Crowe T. Robot, 'Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie'
  
  This is the quote that ran through my head after my dunderheaded choice to visit this restaurant. Why on earth did I go in? There were red flags waving all over the place! I suppose I was somehow hoping for some sort of 'Anthony Bourdain' experience, where he discovers some complete dive-y hole in the wall that turns out to be incredible.
  
  But in this case...sometimes, things ARE as bad as they seem.
  
  THE ROSES: None. Simply none. Okay, I didn't get food poisoning (so far), so I guess the place has that going for it.
  
  THE THORNS: OMG, where does one start? First, the place is a pit, located in a grotty old building in the heart of Bellevue where the owner must be leasing space out for cheap while they wait for the permits to come in to build a high-rise on the property. Almost no inside dining. Space is kind of dirty-looking. An old woman with a heavy Eastern European accent takes your order and cooks your food. It is clear she knows about as much about Teriyaki as I know about particle physics (hint: not much). The beef and chicken in my combo teriyaki where dry and horribly overdone. The salad was more like a coleslaw from a bag dressed with an awful astringent dressing. The only component what wasn't a total disaster was the rice. Stingy portions.
  
  THE VERDICT: Like the building it's located in, this place is a business that is simply marking time, waiting to die. For those not familiar with Toshi's, this was a going concern where the parent company would get a successful Teriyaki joint going, then franchise it out. There was a time when the name 'Toshi' meant something in this town, but this is for far beyond being a joke, it isn't even funny. If Gordon Ramsay's production crew for his show "Restaurant Redemption" saw this place, they'd run
  away screaming. This place needs to be put out of its misery.
  
  There were so many clues that told me this place was Truly Awful, but, like the doomed teenagers in the slasher movies, I went into that dark, spooky house anyway. Don't make the same mistake I did: run fast, run far. Nothing but mediocrity and disappointment here.
  
  ABSOLUTELY do not recommend!

  I used to come to Toshi's all the time and the chicken breast was always consistently good. However, the last time I visited I was shocked to see that there were new workers inside as the same adorable Asian woman has been working there for as long as I've been coming there. I arrived around 7 in which they should still be open (closing was listed as 8:30) the open sign was off but the lights were on. There was a Russian looking couple standing inside the restaurant starring back at me. I was so confused! After reading the reviews it appears that she sold to new owners who have put the Toshi's she built to shame. So sad!! It sucks that there is now no good teriyaki place in Bellevue.
