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.

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!

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 …!!!

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!

Orient Express – Menu with Prices – 211 Providence Rd # 9, Chesapeake

The first time we have eatin here and the only thing that was super good is the chicken teriyaki, it is Delicious!!!! The beef in the pepper steak and beef & broccoli is like eating cardboard and the flavor is just not good. The egg rolls are good, they only have one kind which is a mixture of shrimp and pork. The chicken wings are just regular dry chicken but not to bad but anyways I will definitely be coming back but ONLY for the Chicken Teriyaki

Chop Chop Rice Co. Menu with Prices 2818 Wolflin Ave, Amarillo

This place is just okay. Tried it out after traveling through Texas and wasn’t left with many options at 9 o’clock at night. When I ordered the staff was very friendly and polite. I got chicken teriyaki fried rice with pineapples and spring rolls. It was brought to my table quickly and it looked good. The spring rolls were crispy on the outside and mushy in the middle. I’m guessing they’re prepackaged frozen ones that they nuked in the microwave. Also, I wouldn’t really call what they served fried rice though. Lima beans and corn aren’t typically found in fried rice, but it didn’t taste terrible, just odd. The rice tasted like something you’d get from a box, not the jasmine or sushi rice you get with traditional Chinese dishes, and there wasn’t more than 2 or 3 ounces of chicken with the pineapples. It definitely wasn’t worth the amount I got charged. Overall, nice staff and clean interior but not somewhere I’d visit again. Skip this place and head to Panda Express if you have the option. Their teriyaki chicken and fried rice is a better deal.

Tokyo Teriyaki House – Menu with Prices – 1769 Crows Landing Rd, Modesto

I was nearby with my brother, we were hungry and seen a huge, yellow “Teriyaki” sign that pulled us in. We were unsure about it but decided to go for it after seeing a 4 star review (yes, had to make sure!) on yelp. Ordered the #12; fried rice, chow mein and half chicken, half broccoli with a side of shrimp rolls. Shrimp rolls were on point (very crispy) and rice/chowmein were good. Some of the teriyaki chicken was a little burnt so it had a light burnt smell/taste, other than that, it was juicy and tender. This is one of those places that doesn’t look like much inside/out but the food really makes up for it. All I have to say is, if you’re here, definitely try the shrimp rolls.

Asian Express Cafe – Menu with Prices – IU Health, Entrance #3, 10300 N Illinois St, Indianapolis

The food at this place is quite good and authentically Asian. Although I was surprised it was located in a medical facility, it felt more like a cafe inside the building than being a cafeteria for the building. I have gone here a couple times already and I had great experiences every time. Food: 1. Chicken Lo Mein: It was very good with the chicken being very tender. It had a very good flavour and was enough to fill you up contentedly. 2. Chicken Fried Rice: Like the Chicken Lo Mein, the chicken was cooked to be very tender and actually had a taste similar to the lo mein, but in rice form instead. I enjoyed this equally to the lo mein. 3. Pork Spring Rolls: It was definitely larger in size than I expected (1 inch in diameter; 6 inches long; 2x rolls in one order). Taking a bite into a roll, I felt that the inside was a bit bland with less pork that I personally prefer, but it came with a very refreshing taste. The saving grace to the lack of flavour was the rich and delicious peanut butter based dipping sauce that comes with the order. Overall: The food is pretty solid. They also get the food out to you fast enough. The only downside seems to be the lack of seating in the establishment, but I personally only go there for takeout so it isn’t an issue for me.

Tokyo Japan Sushi & Hibachi – Menu with Prices – 3000 N Green River Rd, Evansville

I stopped in here with a friend for dinner around 7:00 PM, and the establisment was completely empty. I briefly worried that this might be a bad sign, but my fears were unfounded. We were promptly seated and orders taken. The waitress was friendly, but all business. The atmisphere and decor were pleasent, and everything seemed clean. My friend ordered a couple sushi rolls, and I had the Teriyaki Salmon bento box. I ordered it because it gives a good variety of different things on the menu. It came with miso soup, ginger salad, tempura fried shrimp and vegetables, pork fried rice, spring rolls, a california sushi roll, and the Salmon teriyaki. All of them tasted fantastic, and were excellent examples of what Japanese cuisine should be. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Youskyme Teriyaki – Menu with Prices – 221 NE 104th Ave, Vancouver

Our friend was in town, and we all decided to get together. We wanted the closest one to work, so we went to Youskyme. It’s a small clean restaurant at the corner of the building off of Mill Plain and 104th. We all ordered lunch special menu like Chicken Teriyaki w/ Gyoza, Spicy Chicken w/Gyoza, and Chicken & Beef Combo. I was hoping for a tender chicken. But I was a little disapponited. The flavor is bland. It is more on the sweet side. I’d love a balance taste of sweet and salty. The Gyoza was fried perfectly, but not flavorful at all. The beef was cooked just right. I didn’t enjoy the food much. The owners are friendly though.

The Blasian Asian – Menu with Prices – 202 S University Parks Dr #2238, Waco

*** UPDATED Review After reading the restaurant’s response to my first review below, we decided to give them another try. We ordered the Blasian Asian combo (1 skewer each chicken, pork, and beef, with noodles and 2 “egg rolls” (similar to fried spring rolls at many Asian restaurants). We also got an order of 3 cold summer/spring rolls. They serve semi-cool drinks in bottles, with no cups or ice. It was $24+, including 1 bottle water and 1 Diet Coke. I think that’s quite expensive for a food truck, but it had great reviews, so hopefully it would be worth the high price. It was a nice day, so we sat outside. The food was ready in about 5 minutes. When the combo plate arrived, the visuals made my heart and stomach sink. The noodles looked to be swimming in oil, and while somewhat tasty, they were very oily. The meat on the skewers was Extremely difficult to remove. The chicken had a light curry flavor, the pork somewhat flavorful and fatty, and the beef had no flavor. They were all over-cooked. The egg rolls were the best and lightest flavored items on the plate. The fresh summer rolls were handmade, but didn’t have much flavor. I like them with peanut sauce, but these were served with ?sweet chili? sauce. Hubby found them to be good and “pure” tasting. At the end of the meal, our plates were empty and our hunger pains quelled, however, our senses were neither happy nor satisfied. I debated between 2 and 3 stars, and didn’t consider my first visit. We won’t return. I prefer Happy Wok for Asian food. That’s my personal opinion.

Papaya Vietnamese Café Menu with Prices 15600 NE 8th St STM PM-12, Bellevue

Let’s see, so my wife and I came here Sun after church because she needed to go to Michael’s store right when they opened and I was getting hungry! So I wanted soup and what better place than a place that serves pho’! As we ordered we stood there a few monitors while the lady behind the counter prepped a dish. As she greeted us with k smile and we couldn’t really understand her, we managed to get our order in! I got the beef skirt and flank pho! My wife just a beef skirt pho! We ordered also fresh spring rolls! So as I went Sri get a table my wife waited for the soups. She noticed that on the container the chopsticks were in there were bugs crawling on them! Ant like insect! Of course I was told this as I ate my soup! As I went back to get some hoisin sauce and sriracha sauce I noticed that some of the trays the food is served on were dirty! We paid some $$ for this food So I continued to eat my soup and spring rolls!! We thought we ordered one order of spring rolls bet we got four rolls cut into 8 pieces! Wow! It was good! I liked the pho! My wife complained that she had too much meat!! WHAT!? So she she gave me some which made my soup yummy! A few big jalapeños and I was good to go! Despite the few bugs and dirty trays food was good but since this was an open food court you may expect unsanitary instances, but you need to build you immune system, right!!? LOL!

Crown Fried Chicken – Menu with Prices – 11111 Jefferson Ave, Newport News

So, it’s Thanksgiving and I’d planned to have dinner with my daughter and her family. I call her at 1pm to ask what time should I be there and she’s out shopping and haven’t started cooking yet! Driving up and down Jefferson , and nothing is open until I spot Crown Fried Chicken. I’m famished and decided to check them out. It’s a small place with seating for maybe 10-20 people.You order and pay at the counter, if it’s dine in then you take a seat and someone brings your food to the table.I ordered the fried chicken which comes with 1 or 2 rolls to go.There was no wait time because a guy came from the kitchen with some freshly fried chicken.I paid for my order which came up to a little over $9 with taxes which I thought was a bit steep but just thought whatever.Sitting in my car the aroma blew me away and I just had to have a peek. Whoa, am I seeing correctly?So I counted the pieces, 4 drumsticks, 2 whole wings,2 thighs and a breast plus 2 rolls? I gotta try this chicken right here right now! Damn, it’s possibly the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve eaten a lot of fried chicken in my travels up and down the east coast.Crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned, moist on the inside, not greasy at all.I particularly liked the dinner rolls instead of a biscuit, which can sometimes be a bit heavy laden.The pictures I’ve included only shows about 4 pieces of chicken, that’s because I ate the others before I got home, which is only about 3 miles.This is definitely my new chicken spot!
