Let me start by saying I absolutely without a doubt love some good teriyaki beef or chicken over a bed of white rice. Honestly? I could eat it for 5 days a week. Which I have. And I have committed myself to finding the best bang for my buck out there. Now I had been looking for a place for a while when one of my co-workers told me of a place that was seriously right around the corner from our office. Well of course I had to try it out because well it was right around the corner from our office. It was located on a strip mall next to a massage parlor, the tattoo shop, and a turntable repair service. No I’m not going to make a judgment call about the neighbors, I will say this that is worth cruising around the parking lot to find a parking spot to get the goodness that lays Within. The place is pretty straightforward, you can order a bowl or plate, a couple sushi rolls, and a plethora of other items. But the real star of the show is the combo beef and chicken plate. I have to tell you, for $9.17 you get a ton of food. And I’m not even talking about the Casual solid that is thrown and they’re off to the side. There is so much rice in teriyaki beef and chicken, that you’ll be filled up and just wonder why they put the salad in there in the first place. I have to say this, I think the chicken is exemplary. It is cooked perfectly, has enough charger, and just tastes amazing. The beef at times can be a little chewy, but honestly? I really don’t care, because it’s so amazing. Not take my advice, you’re going to want to add extra teriyaki sauce to it. They are a little bit skimpy on what they put in the box, but they’ll give you one of those red ketchup condiment servers to squirt teriyaki sauce until the cows come home. I’m not kidding, they look at me like I’m robbing their life savings by how much teriyaki sauce I put it on my food. I honestly wish I had taken pictures of my food to post, but I’m sure other people have posted pictures worth seeing, my problem is, I actually ate the food and then remembered I should have taken a picture. It’s really that good.

La Cochinita – Menu with Prices – 671 Broadway, Chula Vista

I was working down in the South Bay today and was craving a beef bowl. I yelped something, yearning for a great delicacy. I found this lil Asian-Mex fusion. I was skeptical at first, like Asian-Mex fusion? What does that even mean!! But the reviews were raving this nomuraki chicken plate and the pictures were tantalizing. I was hooked. Parking is a bit tough, but I got lucky with street parking right in front of the business. Upon entering, they have some Japanese motifs. The establishment was clean and empty. The menu is posted on their wall, decent prices for the portions they give. I opted for the nomuraki chicken with skin plate! Boyyyyy oh boy! It was a massive helping of chicken in delicious sauce over a bed of white rice, also accompanied by pickled cucumbers. It was grrrrrreat. I finished halfway before I hit my food wall. It’s well worth sharing between two people honestly!! The plate was $8.23. They also have additional accompaniments in their little bar. Overall, worth the go to! Try it out if you’re in this pet of town!

Chicken Teriyaki Menu with Prices 2225 S Peoria St, Aurora

I moved from Seattle last year where there is a teriyaki joint on every corner. But here in Colorado there is a severe lack of true teriyaki places. I have been searching for MONTHS to find an actual teriyaki place that isn’t Asian Fusion or part of a sushi restaurant. At long last I think I have finally found it. And what’s better, the food is amazing! After craving it we finally decided to give this place a try and we were not disappointed! I ordered the number 3 dinner teriyaki beef and my boyfriend had the number 1 combo chicken and beef teriyaki. We ordered to-go. The food was ready really quickly (about 10 mins) but it took me almost 15 to get there. The inside of the place is small but has a few tables to sit and eat. The portions of food are perfect and there is a great balance of rice, meat and vegetables. The beef was cooked really nicely with a great flavor and also had sauteed onions. The rice was perfect and mixed well with the beef. And I appreciate that it comes with stir fried vegetables instead of a small side salad. Overall it was fantastic and I will be back very soon!

Teriyaki Zone – Menu with Prices – 4927 Evergreen Way, Everett

We LOVE Teriyaki Zone! They have the BEST Teriyaki Chicken and Chow Mein I’ve ever had! The rice is nice, steamed and fresh. It’s a cute little mom and dad shop and they’re so sweet! Kinda like going to grandma’s house for lunch/dinner ? They don’t speak very well English but it doesn’t matter when the food tastes this good and how polite they are! Back to the food; the Teriyaki Chicken has a good amount of rice to chicken portion and if you ask for extra they almost triple your chicken amount for $2 more! They’re teriyaki sauce is thin and delicious! They do go a little stingy on the sauce but have more on the tables for you to do yourself. (If you ask them for extra sauce they charge you fifty cents.) The chow mein had plenty of noodles and good fresh veggies to go with it that didn’t over power the noodles! The egg rolls are delicious, the pot stickers are pretty dang good too! Too bad it’s 9:40 pm now or else I’d be heading there now to get some more! ?

NeoTsai Grill Teriyaki – Menu with Prices – 15762 Springdale St, Huntington Beach

This place is simple. I’ll keep my review simple. It’s a teriyaki joint, they have chicken, beef, fish. The teriyaki sauce is good, more leaned on the soy sauce side so not excessively sweet (thank you). Chicken is breast so that’s perfect for me. About $8-11 for a bowl depending on the protein and portion is big. Versus Flame Broiler I would say it is at least 1.5 times the meat. So a little bit more. Vegetables about the same, rice is more but I always ask for a small scoop. I tried their spicy teriyaki sauce too, was fine, not too spicy … maybe they just added a little garlic and sriracha/chili to it? There is an “orange” option so maybe I’ll do that because orange chicken without being fried … sounds nice. Seems like a married couple running it, they were super nice. The food takes time to cook but I didn’t mind, plus they kept me updated on the progress. They got purple rice! Also super nice about substituting to all vegetables or purple rice. I like it. This place is great for a lunch or dinner when you forget lunch or don’t want to cook. One weird thing … you can’t order beef or fish a la carte … only chicken …!!!

Yoshi Express – Menu with Prices – 350 N Eastern Blvd #200, Fayetteville

Did lunch here and got the Teriyaki Chicken and a couple of spring rolls. First time visit so I went all out and got an entrée size portion. The chicken was tender and the veggies were cooked just right with a sweet & savory teriyaki sauce on a nice pile of fried rice. The white sauce reminds me of a shrimp sauce, but it was sweeter. Tasty and fast. The folks working here were smiling and friendly. Its a very simple set-up with no frills. Worth a try if you are in the area.

Ume Grill Skewer House – Menu with Prices – 1733 Pearl St, Eugene

So.. I’m not very happy.. I’m just a regular guy that really likes teriyaki. The chicken “teryaki” was awful. Plain and simple it was awful. Chicken teriyaki is comfort food, it’s not supposed to be some pretentious thing that is trying to be something it was never meant to be? In trying to “re-invent the wheel” by making something that resembles more of a salad with a little bit of WAY over seasoned chicken and the ENTIRE dish tasted of crab roe, or some kind of really unpleasant fishy quality to it, I’m pretty sure there was umami in the sauce for the chicken? My point is I paid for chicken teriyaki and I got something TOTALLY different.. the ingredients were good, it is just an example of a chef trying something new and just destroying a really good thing only to replace it with something that really.. isnt so great.. there was a little bit of rice with about maybe 3/4 or a chicken breast, and the rest of the to-go box was salad? It was more like a mediocre salad with a side of teryaki? I hate to be so on them but if nobody else is gonna say it I will.. I should have gone back for my money because I only ate a few bites and threw the rest away, but it was late and I had to be up super early. maybe warn people that the teriyaki is a little bit different from what they may be used to (I’m from Seattle and there is a teriyaki joint on every corner so I feel like I know my teryaki?). I was very disapointed. If you are looking for good teryaki, GO ELSEWHERE.

Umami Teriyaki – Menu with Prices – 4045 W Garden Grove Blvd, Orange

Absolutely love this “mom and pop shop” This is my second time visiting here and a first for my dad. My first visit here, I got a shrimp bowl which was amazing! Perfect sized bowls that adequately satisfy your lunch hunger. You get a choice of brown or white rice and cabbage, broccoli and carrots for the veggies. The shrimp are plump, juicy and pop right out the tail! Umami offers a small variety of hot sauces and a teriyaki sauce that might be their own. It’s unique to others I’ve tasted. The second time I ordered, I got the same bowl as the former plus a chicken bowl which my dad and I split. The char on the chicken was freaking amazing!!!! Crispy yet juicy and tender plus the salty sour of the teriyaki makes for a perfect ‘yaki bowl! Hopefully my dad will return as I’ve been trying to get him to eat healthier, but I know I will be a returning customer, and letting all my coworkers know about this little gem so close to the office!

Teriyaki Chicken Bowl – Menu with Prices – 473 Stony Point Rd, Santa Rosa

This place is so so good! The portions are really great too. The vegetables are always just right meaning they are steamed just enough to still have that good crunch. The rice is always cooked very well and the shrimp is amazing! I usually get the Cajun shrimp teriyaki which is season incredibly. My husband gets the shrimp teriyaki and always loves it! I’ve also had the Cajun chicken teriyaki which is also pretty good although I prefer the shrimp but my cousin loved that and the chicken teriyaki. They always give a great amount of teriyaki which is so good! And their homemade chili is bomb! The staff is usually super nice unless the two younger girls are there, they seem to be bothered by everything.

Vons Chicken Menu with Prices 650 S Vista Ave, Boise

I am not one to write many reviews.  I do feel the need to review places that go beyond my expectations as well as the ones that fall below my expectations.  I recently saw a news article about Vons Korean chicken that had opened up in the Mr. Wok location on Vista Ave.  I talked to my wife and we decided to try it.  My wife asked for Orange Chicken, I wanted Teriyaki Beef, some Von’s fried chicken and egg rolls to round out our Asian dinning experience.  I walked into Mr. Wok, it was very busy for a weeknight, I thought this is a good sign.  I asked for teriyaki beef and orange chicken, the person behind the counter said, “we do not have orange chicken”, this is when I should have just left the building and went elsewhere.  The thought of Vons Fried Chicken kept me on track to go ahead and order.  I ordered my wife Teriyaki Chicken, and I got the beef. I ordered the honey butter chicken on the recommendation of the cashier.  I was told the wait would be about 25 minutes.  This again was the universe telling me to go elsewhere, but I did not listen, I waited the 25 minutes, picked up my order, paid the cashier, and left the building. To recap,  I got 2 dinners, 1 order of (2)egg rolls, and an 1/2 order of honey butter chicken, bill total $46.00, again the universe asking me to think about how I want to proceed before handing over my debit card, but I didn’t listen. I sat down with my wife to enjoy our Asian bounty, the first thing I did was take a big bite into a mushy eggroll, it tasted like nothing, no flavor hardly at all, what flavor it had was unpleasant.  I moved on to the beef, the beef was tough.  It did taste like teriyaki beef, but for 13.00 a plate. I think I expected more.  The chicken the same as the beef,  tough,  it was hard to eat, but again it tasted like teriyaki chicken , nothing special here for another 13 bucks,    I moved on to a leg on Von’s Korean Fried Chicken.  Let’s give this a shot, I thought to myself, something in this meal has to be worth eating,  It tasted and smelled artificial, like the chicken was fried with no seasoning, and the some type of powder was sprinkled on the chicken, I thought it tasted similar to flavored popcorn salt. Another 13 dollar disappointment. I am sorry Mr. Wok, you have become Mr. NOT when comes to my choice in Asian dining in the Boise area.

MJS Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 1953 E 4th St, Ontario

This place I found on Yelp while staying at a nearby hotel. It is a little shopping center near Popeyes and Stayer Bros. It’s towards the end of the shopping center and a little hard to spot from the street. We walked into this place and it is a small location. The music playing was low and very soothing. The menu has a variety of different food to choose but we chose to go with the three item combo. Now most three item combos come with small portions but this spot serves you big portions. I got the teriyaki beef, chicken katsu, fried shrimp, spam and steamed rice. The combo comes with a side salad as well and the dressing on it was delicious. The food…OMG so damn delicious!! The teriyaki sauce they use was not too sweet which was perfect because sometimes the sauce can tend to be too sweet. The katsu breading perfect! The shrimp…yummy!! Normally places give you one shrimp, maybe two but this place gave five big shrimp!!! May favorite which is always my favorite is spam so I had to get a side of that with the steamed rice. The other plate we got was the same except pork katsu and teriyaki chicken…bomb. The fried rice was very fluffy. What sold me on this place was the hospitality and the customer service!! They are VERY nice and treated us very well. The lady also made us a complimentary Mango peach iced tea and it was delicious! So refreshing in this heat. PLEASE, PLEASE VISIT THIS PLACE if you have the chance!! You won’t be disappointed.

Yamasaki Teriyaki – Menu with Prices – 9 Dixwell Ave, New Haven

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Yamasaki Teriyaki as an option on Snackpass. I think we just found our new favorite quick, delicious, and cheap Asian-fusion place in New Haven! The restaurant itself is clean and spacious, and the servers and chefs are all so friendly. We ordered the Chicken Bento (with comes with chicken teriyaki over a bed of rice, a side salad with citrus Asian dressing, 3 pieces of gyoza, and 3 California roll sushis) and the Chicken Teriyaki Plus (with comes with chicken teriyaki, a choice of lo mein/fried rice/regular rice) a side salad with citrus Asian dressing, and your choice of hot & sour soup or miso. First of all, the portions are MASSIVE. For under eight dollars, you can get dish that could probably last you 2 meals. Second, the chicken teriyaki is of high quality, and the meat is tender and flavorful. The chicken strips are quite meaty, and they are all well seasoned with teriyaki sauce. The rice under the chicken teriyaki is incredibly soft and pillowy, kind of gummy, which is my favorite kind of rice! We ordered the chicken bento with vegetable lo mein, which was so savory and substantial. The gyoza in the chicken bento box could have been a little more flavorful, but the outside wonton skin was crispy! California roll was standard, and a nice touch. Finally, I have to mention that the dressing on the side salad is one of my new favorites – so tangy and creamy. In addition, I didn’t expect the salad leaves to be so fresh, which was definitely a nice surprise. I will definitely be coming back again!

Teriyaki Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 2028 W Guadalupe Rd, Mesa

I’ve been going here for years but it seems as if it’s been going downhill a bit the past few times we’ve been there. I’ve always liked the House Chicken although this time I opted for the Shrimp Yakisoba which was tasty. My wife ordered the shumai and it didn’t look or taste like any shumai we’ve had before, it just looks like a fried meatball. Didn’t really like it. The taste of most things I’ve had here has been pretty good but my main complaint lately is that you get a lot of rice and not enough of the entree. The teriyaki chicken isn’t that flavorful because they don’t put enough teriyaki sauce on there. The sauce is good but the parts that don’t get it are dry. I also don’t like that they added a lot of ice to the fountain drinks (at least they did today) and then charge you for refills, and they also charge you for extra teriyaki sauce, when they don’t put enough on upfront. I always try to support the Mom and Pop shops that are trying to compete with the chains of the world but to do so they should give you free refills and teriyaki sauce, especially when the last few times I’ve been there it hasn’t been very busy at all. Depending on what you get the food is 3 to 5 stars, but the value due to the things above earns a 3 from me.
