Fast Casual Teriyaki Grill Restaurant FranchiseGlaze is a Seattle-style teriyaki grill concept, featuring sauces made from scratch, and upscale food at low scale prices. Seriously delicious teriyaki…in a not-so-serious environment! Much like traditional Seattle teriyaki joints, Glaze is inexpensive and convenient, yet the menu is made with the best quality ingredients possible like Murray’s Chicken, which is Certified Humane Raised and Handled, and organic farm-raised salmon. Glaze Teriyaki provides high quality cuisine, with the convenience and price point of a fast casual operation.
Founder and CEO, Paul Krug, hails from Seattle and recognized a market opportunity for teriyaki on the East Coast. He brought Seattle’s distinctive Korean and Japanese-influenced teriyaki cuisine to midtown Manhattan, and the concept has been met with rave reviews.

Inspired by Seattle, Made fresh in New York, To be enjoyed by the Whole Wide World. Chef Dennis Lake was brought on to perfect the taste and texture of Glaze's homemade teriyaki sauces, which are made from scratch. Entrees include a choice of meat or vegetarian, charcoal-grilled and topped with the smoky-sweet glaze (made from assorted fruits, garlic and ginger), ranging from mild to hot. Although they only offer one dessert, their chef challenges any other rice pudding to be put up to his. Review a larger photo slideshow of the
