    Chicken Bento Box YUMMY
    Sunny H.

    I tried the salmon teriyaki bowl and it was delicious!! Such a great high-protein option with a good balance of veggies and meat. They're always generous with the portion size. Highly recommend!

    Chicken and beef plate with noodles

    The food is good and very tasty. Cooked to order, not soggy or cold food. Fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly! The flavor is definitely there. The staff is attentive and kept the restaurant clean and tidy.

    Love coming here! The food is great and the prices are even more great for the amount they provide per serving. Happy to have found somewhere nearby home for when I'm craving quality teriyaki take-out & sushi rolls! :)

    Chicken/beef teriyaki with noddles

    The new go to spot for fresh Japanese food. This isn't a place that goes cheap on the portion, they fill the plate up. Every order is freshly made once ordered which makes it that much better. Can't go wrong with the beef/chicken teriyaki plate with noddles which is my go to at least once a week. Food is priced good, give it a try you won't be disappointed. You can order ahead too which is nice and the staff is always friendly.

    My wife and I are big fans of teriyaki and love exploring different teriyaki restaurants whenever we can. That's why we were excited to try Akai Teriyaki, a newly opened spot in town. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, with limited seating, but it's clean and welcoming. The customer service was decent--nothing over the top, but the staff was friendly enough to make the experience pleasant. When it came to the food, however, it didn't quite meet our expectations. The teriyaki lacked the bold, flavorful punch we've experienced at other local Japanese and teriyaki restaurants. The portion size was fair, and the price point was reasonable, but the taste just wasn't memorable enough for us. Since we've tried other places that offer much better quality and flavor, this one didn't stand out as a spot we'd return to. I think Akai Teriyaki has potential as they're still new, and perhaps the menu will improve over time. But as of now, it's not somewhere I'd consider one of the best teriyaki spots near me. Pros: * Fair prices * Decent customer service * Clean and simple atmosphere Cons: * Food lacked flavor compared to other teriyaki places * Small dining space * Didn't feel like a "must-visit" spot Overall, Akai Teriyaki was just okay. If you're in the area and craving Japanese teriyaki, it may be worth trying once, but for us, there are other restaurants we'd recommend first.

    Online explanation of what's included with the bento box.
    Traci A.

    Service was quick, price was decent, food was good with a decent portion for the cost. The reason I'm rating 3 stars is because I ordered the bento box and when I walked in to pick up my food the salad was missing. I asked where was the salad and they told me it's not included with the bento box. I pointed out on the printed menu as well as the menu posted in the restaurant that it does include a salad. We argued back and forth and they finally gave me the unimpressive salad. If you don't want to include the salad when all your literate states it's included please update your menu in the restaurant and online. Until then you should provide the salad without arguing since it shows included.

    New favorite local teriyaki spot just opened close to La Verne! Wow! I was blown away by the flavors and high quality of food. The teriyaki salmon was amazing and the beef and chicken plate didn't disappoint. I will be back soon and would highly recommend !

    Absolutely delicious. Friendly service and reasonably priced. I'll be back. I got the beef and chicken combo with fried rice and a shrimp tempura appetizer. All super delicious.

    We've been looking for a good teriyaki place. So far, we haven't found anything as good as the old Hamburger House that was located in the shopping center at Grove and Garey. It's been gone for many years so it's been a while since we had good teriyaki. This place was really good. I had to chicken and beef teriyaki bento box. It was a lot of food and everting was fresh and good. I liked that they didn't drown the meat in teriyaki sauce. It was light and the meat was tender and juicy. We also ordered the vegetable tempura it that was very good too. Place was clean and staff was very nice and accommodating. I will definitely be back!

    Went here yesterday with my family we got beef, chicken, and the shrimp plates and they were all very good. The staff was very nice and the restaurant itself was clean. Highly recommend we will definitely be going here again.

    A friend of mine lives nearby and we visit each time we can! The food is very tasty! I'm not…read morevegetarian but the fried tofu and the garlic green beans are fabulous. The service is always friendly and very nice. They are a lot of tables so even though we are busy regularly space for us. My friend and I areI are very chatty and so we often stay quite a long time and we never feel rushed.

    This place was mediocre. Extremely overpriced for what it is. What I would call Panda Express-ish…read morewith less flavor. Service was decent until the bill came. I noticed I was charged for two hot teas. I asked about this because I ordered one hot tea, I drank most of it but more than halfway through the meal I asked for a 2nd cup. They brought it but failed to mention they were charging me for a second tea. When I asked the server about this they said they charge per cup not tea pot. Completely nonsensical. Especially because they did not ask me if I wanted more tea at any point throughout my meal. If they had I would not have argued about being charged for the second cup. But to put the onus on the customer to know what their policies are and then to argue with them is asinine. I complained about $1.90 on a total bill of $85.86 for three. It isn't about the money, it's about the principal and the argumentative waitress who was very rude. They ended up removing the second cup from my bill. But not without a lot of unpleasantness. VERDICT: Visit Panda Express and save yourself 55% of what you would spend on the same quality food.
