Affordable and Delicious This has been almost an Azusa landmark and my childhood for years!! I've been sleeping on this location forever but you absolutely can't beat the prices, portions and choices!! It's a cute lil spot with outdoor seating and you get a nice view of the Azusa mountain/canyons as your backdrop so it's a nice casual dining experience! And I love that they are on Doordash now!!! Hoooray! read more

Delicious! Very straightforward menu, with ample amount of options. Their number 5 special is probably my go to. Generous portions and serving size, and for the price, this place is a solid choice for a little weekend lunch or dinner. Happy I live across this place! read more

Best Teriyaki - Beef Teriyaki, French Fries, macaroni salad and rice. - Burgers Near Me - Azusa, California

My husband stopped here today to grab us a late dinner. The guy that worked there was super Duper friendly and I took a long time deciding and he was very patient. Ended up getting a cheeseburger, onion rings, chili, cheese, fries, and a kids teriyaki bowl. Let's start with the good. The chili cheese fries are phenomenal. Their chili has a perfect level of spice, a super meaty with no beans. It's melting and gooey and warm and the portion size is good. I would happily come back just for this. The onion rings on the other hand we're disappointing. They were large and they actually look like they're homemade, but they were so limp and as you can tell from the color, not cooked enough at all. I like my onion rings to be crunchy and these were nothing of the sort. Play definitely have potential there if they cooked them longer. The cheeseburger was fine. As you would expect from a roadside stand. Nothing special, but nothing offensive. It's a little hard to judge the teriyaki bowl because it actually didn't come with this famous homemade sauce. It was just plain chicken on top of rice. I thought the chicken was kinda flavorful, but it was a little thin, so kind of dry. And the portion size was not great even for a kid. Definitely needed more meat and less rice. I did get two other sauces. One was kind of like a sweet-and-sour and the other one was... I'm not actually sure because I was too afraid to taste it. Maybe like a chili sauce? It was thick like salsa. But nowhere in my bag was there the teriyaki to be found. I feel like if your name is best teriyaki you should make sure you put it with your rice bowl. Would definitely come back again for chili cheese fries. I don't know if I would eat anything else. Cost us around $30 for this. read more

They work hard and the Teri is good! Don't complain for the price. It's better than anyone else in the area. The wait is long but it's worth it, they are friendly and plus it's hot hot this season. Give em the credit they deserve! Thank you Best Teri for serving the community! read more

After a really fun Rosedale tour, our heroic realtor decided to reward us w the ultimate edible treat... a lunch trip to Best Teriyaki. Bold name, right? I was skeptical..... this place looked a bit sus while waiting for our food. But ohhh, was I gloriously wrong!!! We all got the #5 Teriyaki Plate Special, aka the holy trin of comfort food: juicy beef (deliciously marinated and just simply amazing), fluffy rice, creamy mac salad, and a freshly made egg roll (i burnt myself, it was that fresh). Parking is tight.... the place is situated in a corner strip mall. I went in judging this place by its cover, but this little hole in the wall punched me right in the taste buds, in the best way!!!Never doubt a spot that looks like it's been around since VHS tapes. It's usually hiding greatness in a takeout box!! This may just be the best teriyaki in SGV!! Definitely recommend!!! 800th review. Milestone. FYVIA :) read more

Nice spot hidden at the base of Azusa Canyon and a local favorite. This place is focused on putting out a delicious teriyaki meal from a small building with only a kitchen, a pay window, and outdoor seating. Nothing fancy, but fantastic teriyaki glazed food. I ordered the chicken special, because all the staples were included. A side of macaroni salad, a lettuce salad and an egg roll. The Mac salad was simple, not overwhelming, but made just perfect. The salad was fresh a slapped with thousand island dressing. You can sub with fries if you like. Now to one of my highlights. This egg roll was perhaps the perfect egg roll. (I've had a lot of egg rolls). Sitting on top of the rest of the food, I expected soggynedlss but it was perfectly crispy all around. The inside vegetable fillings was nice a warm and scrumptious. The sweet and sour sauce was provided too. Wow, I would go back just for this just to see if they make them this consistently good. Now the chicken. First bite had a nice char on the outside, followed by the perfect tenderness on the inside. The teriyaki sauce was standard, not overly salty or thick, but just right. Most of the rice was smothered with the sauce runoff to my liking. Overall, a perfect meal! Definitely returning, and a definite recommended spot for teriyaki lovers in east SGV. read more

It's Saturday august 2nd, it's my first time in about 2 years... I think they changed owners... nothing taste and looks the same. No sauce on my teriyaki(my sis said it's happened to her again) I miss the Asian lady and Hispanic cook.... The young workers were nice but it just didn't give since 1989 anymore. I will definitely pass Plates got smaller than last times plates. Mac salad tasted almost the same can't mess up mc salad Idk something didn't give Azusa canyon staple read more

What I had: - Teriyaki chicken plate special ($14) - Breakfast burrito ($8) How it tasted: - The chicken teriyaki plate was pretty tasty, but the teriyaki sauce was very on the sweet side IMO. The breakfast burrito is weirdly my favorite item to get as it has crunchy bits of bacon and each bite is tasty. Why did I give it a four? - Solid location, decent prices, and overall pretty prompt on food delivery. The ambiance is nice too, though it's all outdoors. Verdict? - Decent teriyaki place in the base of the Azusa canyon area. read more

Food is good but the service sucks I ordered A chicken plate and he gave me a beef plate. I also clarified the Order two times before paying. Either the young man doesn't know English or just doesn't care. While I was forced to eat a beef plate another man ordered 2 plates and he waited 20 mins then when his order was called he asked why there is only one plate. Bruh how do you screw up two times in less than an hour? Your better off going to Yoshinoya Or Waba Grill! For the price of the fake beef they sell. Costco sells the items they buy read more

Cash only business! Work trip had me training at the corporate office in Azusa and wanted a good quick bite. My Yelp APP point me to Best Teriyaki. I am glad I found Best Teriyaki! This is a very cute place with outdoor seating via park style picnic benches. I'm from the desert and very accustomed to lizards. Being a desert dweller, I can only assume my lunch date was more of a iguana chilling in the seating area. My first time here and I went with a Beef Teriyaki bowl. It is packaged in a small to go container. It is very delicious! Next time I will go with a plate! Fries and macaroni salad are side options. I'm still kicking myself for not getting a plate! Service was very prompt! read more

They should change their name to Worst Teriyaki. The chicken was dry, looked and tasted old. The rice was covered in teriyaki sauce that tasted more like soy sauce read more

This spot is good . The fish and chips is crispy and delicious. They have macaroni salad and that's really good too .

Excellent food!!! Decent price for it all! Great combo meal with teriyaki chicken, white rice and as my sides I got French fries, salad (comes with their 1,000 on burgers. So good!!!) and ordered veggie egg rolls. All of it was so awesome. I thought I'd save some from lunch for my dinner. Nope! Ate it all in one go, I couldn't stop myself! They do accept cards but best to bring cash. Cute little spot, love this area! And all around good service and vibes. read more

Cash only, I drove up there nearly passing it since the road goes one direction. I was about to leave until I saw I had $10 in cash. I chose to get their chicken teriyaki plate ($9). It comes with rice and sides of a salad with thousand island dressing and a macaroni salad. Their teriyaki sauce is much darker and thicker than other places I've tried. Their chicken was hot and moist. The salad was crispy and had pineapple chunks in it. The macaroni salad was bland to me, the noodles were not over cooked though, the dressing was not runny. Parking lot is tiny and they have outdoor seating with two patio table. The guy is nice and the wait was not long. read more

Moved away from Azusa a while back, but from time to time I'll come back to this spot for a little nostalgia hit. This place has been around for years, and I always get the same thing which is the teriyaki with fries plate. The sauce is their own thing, they make it in house and is thick and sweet. It's a cash only spot and fairly busy--you don't really come here for ambiance or service, it's fast and tastes great. When I was younger it was an older couple working the stand, nowadays it's all younger folks and they're just moving food. It's probably always gonna be a go to for me when I'm in town. The portions do seem smaller these days but I bought this plate pictured and was stuffed. read more

The food is excellent. Macaroni salad is tasty. Price is good! The only thing to watch out is its ATM. I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but my debit card had a fraudulent charge on my card the day after I used the ATM. Someone tried to buy weed with my debit card. read more

Best Teriyaki used to be super good.. What I have noticed with new ownership is they never answer the telephone after 5:30-6 p.m. and they close at 7 PM. If you get there at 6:45 that say I'm sorry and turn you away. You want a nickel and dime me now for extra teriyaki sauce. I asked for more teriyaki sauce on my chicken and they want to charge me $.50 more? They have an underage boy working the register that's probably about 10 years old!. I really believe this place is on a downhill trend if they don't change. Through this place, I will find another good teriyaki joint. Miss the Thai owners........ read more

Best teriyaki spot hands down. Worth the drive wish it had indoor seating but they do have a small outdoor area to eat. Taste is worth it all. read more

We went to this place the other day after driving by it many times & being interested. What a mistake that was. Since we weren't in the mood for teriyaki, we got the street tacos: 2 chicken & 2 Carne Asada. They were disgusting. We choked down 2 & threw the other 2 out. No seasoning whatsoever, highlighted the poor quality meat. Our assumption now is that they use teriyaki sauce because otherwise, there's no flavor and the teriyaki covers-up a lot. We will not return. read more

Never misses! (that's all that has to be said) Only downside is they are cash only! * Update to review as of Nov. 6,2023 , they have a functioning ATM machine now that obviously charges a fee to pull out cash but this helps for people who don't have cash on hand! read more

Best Teriyaki - Chicken Teriyaki plate - Burgers Near Me - Azusa, California

Unfortunately this place has fallen very short with food quality. Customer service has and always been very mid but the food always made up for that. HOWEVER, sadly it is just not the same anymore. My last and final visit was such a heart break. I order the SAME exact items you see in my previous post (my go to) but everything was a fatal disappointment. Fries were old and oddly had different type of frozen fries, bag was basically empty not it's usually full bag. My all time favorite bacon double cheeseburger was sloppy, missing mostly all ingredients, meat was cold only 1 patty, no bacon, lettuce was one thick slab, welted and soggy, No dressing, BASICALLY a huge disaster. Mac salad was OLD and unusual, assuming I was served Mac salad that's been sitting for a week... or one that they didn't make right, it had an odd smell, noodles were down right old and visible ingredients were missing... needless to say they only scooped a small dollop of it not their usual scoops! With all that being said, I kindly went to back to the window explained how I felt, and was laughed in my face and tossed back my money with no remorse... It was not the owners, but it definitely was one of their long time cook or worker as I always see that man working.. he must of been having a bad day however that isn't justification of why he reacted with such culprit attitude. read more

Take this as you may, but this is NOTHING like the OG used to be. Maybe it's ran by the owners kids? Picked up the saddest 2 looking burgers I've ever purchased. The bread was super soggy on both burgers. They were out of bacon & the cheeseburger barely had any lettuce or tomato, the teriyaki burger was drowned in teriyaki sauce and also had very little veggies. Calling it a burger is a disgrace. It's more like a smashed burger where the WHOLE burger was ran over. The onion rings were just frozen deep fried garbage. I'm very disappointed and regret spending my money at this place that USED to be a great burger joint. read more

I live nearby and always pass by this place. I decided to give it a try one day! My boyfriend and I got the Steak Sandwich and Teriyaki Chicken Special. We called to order ahead of time and it was ready when we got there. The prices are normal and the items were well portioned. I especially liked the Steak Sandwich. It seems like a normal sandwich at first - but it surprised me with how juicy the steak was and how well the sauce/lettuce/tomato complimented the steak. I was pleasantly surprised! My boyfriend also enjoyed his Teriyaki Chicken Special. It was a bit saucy and a little salty but overall was worth the price! If I'm ever feeling like a simple sandwich, teriyaki chicken, or burger, I'll definitely remember to come here! read more
