From Seattle to Lewisville, One Sauce at a Time
Julia Kwon spent two decades perfecting her teriyaki sauce in Seattle. In 2016, she brought it to Lewisville — and the regulars haven't let her forget it.
206 LUSTER GRILL | Our Story
How It Started in Seattle
Julia built multiple teriyaki locations in Seattle, refining recipes slowly and stubbornly until they were right. When she moved to DFW in 2016, she wasn't starting over — she was bringing everything with her.
The Name Means Something
206 is Seattle's iconic area code, where Seattle-style Teriyaki began. LUSTER comes from Teri (照り), the Japanese word for the rich, caramelized luster that gives Teriyaki its signature glaze. GRILL is inspired by Yaki (焼き), meaning "to grill," the traditional cooking method behind every great Teriyaki.
