Quaint little place in a strip mall. Unassuming from the outside. Service was good. Ordered to go and didn't have to wait much. I'm my short time there, they had a handful of regulars come in and greeted by name. Super awesome to see this type of service in a small business. As for the food, it was pretty good. I got the large lunch Jamaican chicken with brown rice. It was a good amount food, souch that I had to save a bit for later. I expected a bit more heat from the dish, but that's what I have Sriracha at home. The edamame was plain. It needed some spice or salt as well. It's close enough for me to hit up for lunch, so I'll come here again.

What a great restaurant!! The service was so friendly and I could tell a lot of the customers were regulars by the way they were greeted by name. I got the small Oahu teriyaki bowl and it was not small at all! My husband got the large and it was ginormous! We loved their teriyaki sauce, it has such a great flavor. The restaurant is decorated so cute and was very clean. This is such a great little place, please support your local restaurants like this!!

Island Teriyaki always hits the spot and never fails! I get their Maui bowl with fried rice. It's a lot of food for the price. Great customer service and friendly staff. They really are the whole package! We will always be customers of Island Teriyaki

WHOA! Helloooo delicious! I am pleasantly surprised, this place is the bomb dot com. It reminds me of a place that I used to get teriyaki bowls at growing up that was so good then they disappeared and I've been looking for anything like it ever since. This is it. It brings me back and makes me really happy. THANK YOU! Now don't you dare go anywhere! I'll be back for lots more. Yum!!

One of my very favorite spots in the NW Valley. I try to grab lunch here each time I'm near. This place isn't flashy, and that's one of the reasons why I love it. It's family run, and the pricing for the amount and quality of food is excellent. I always get the Jamaican bowl because it's the spicy version of their teriyaki. Their egg rolls are dynamite too. Such friendly staff. It's a fairly small spot within a strip mall, so you need to look out for it, but it's worth it!

Kid friendly place

Service is amazing. The owner is fantastic, so friendly. The food is great especially liked the island sauce. They do go heavy on their sauce so if that's not your thing as for it in the side. Actually found a place my picky daughter likes. Their air conditioning is great too. Definitely will be back.

Maui Chicken, with an a la carte egg roll I ordered separately.

I. Am. Floored. As a long time customer of the deer valley location, I've never in my life been…read moretreated so badly by restaurant staff, one older woman in particular. May 15, 2026, I ordered a crispy spicy pork that turned out to be old, overcooked, beyond dry and very chewy. There was no saving it. I immediately called that night asking for a refund on that 1/3 items; I told them all about it and they apologized. They said I could go back in for a fresh one but I moved and live too far so that was not an option. I asked if I could just have a refund but they needed me in person, which I could not do. I ultimately agreed for a simple credit because they knew me and I reminded them that I had been coming to them for years, but it would be harder for me to get to that location anytime soon. They said it would be okay! *note: I'd ordered often enough and my orders were always $70-$90+. EVERY. TIME. Many times a year. I told them I moved out and I'll take a free credit of a spicy pork but was not planning to return for at MINIMUM 3ish months maybe..but they could not give me a refund over the phone. The location was simply no longer convenient anymore but I love their quality and flavor most the time. They told me they would keep my number and note that it could be a while until I returned but they said it was okay!! I say that yet again because I was promised and reassured multiple times in this phone call back in May. I even worried it would be too long but they confirmed thrice they would give me the a new free crispy pork no problems. That was that. Fast forward to today, October 23, 2026. I call deer valley location and ask if I can order potstickers and crispy spicy pork. I remind her of my credit and she FOUND my order and told me it was written down but there were no potstickers on that order. I said yes, I'd like the credit for the spicy pork and I will happily pay for potstickers. She was confused and I had to explain a couple different ways while she ultimately said okay okay and hung up. I drive the 25 minutes over there and all she has for me are the potstickers.. I ask where the crispy spicy pork is and she said she won't give it to me. She said the previous order I had was too long ago. I told her the story yet again, but she said so many people call and complain and want free food and she doesn't believe that the food was old or that I was promised a credit. But I explained AGAIN that they had told me that it would be OK. And she still wouldn't believe me. She refused to even let me order the item again!! She refused to give me the credit that was promised. I told her I understood it had been a long time and that people try to do that. She said that the pork they gave me was not old. GASLIGHTING me to thinking I was wrong. I outright told her that they sold me old pork! And she still was shaking her head no and would not believe me. No other staff would even step in when I asked for management or the owner. One girl continued to sit people around me while I was being disrespected by this mean old lady. Eventually, I told her I even had the picture because I knew I might run into this issue having been a while. She wanted to see the picture so I showed her. I zoomed in and said LOOK. It's dry and was HORRIBLE. I even showed her a fresh one I received from the Scottsdale location in comparison to the garbage they sold me. She barely believed me after I showed her the old picture with the time date stamp, but then she said she would not give me that exact item because I would simply complain again :0. Like wut. She said she wouldn't let them make me that item and repeated herself saying "I will just complain again because they will make it wrong." I said I simply wanted a fresh one this time and she said they will still do it wrong, didn't want me to complain later. She had said I could something else but not even that item anymore. Refused even though she realized I had the proof to be right. I was pissed at this point and reluctantly said maybe I'd take a kung pao chicken? But then she started ringing me up and she was going to charge me for it!!! I said forget it. You are practicing BAD business lady. SHAME ON YOU. I said I didn't even want the food anymore because I didn't trust her and her behavior left a bad taste in my mouth. The Deer Valley location shattered and burned a bridge with a long time customer turned angry at this lady who gaslit me into thinking that I was the one in the wrong.. She had recited my own order back to me reminding me that they had written me down, for a credit? Apparently not. But she was the one that told me the date it happened. That's how I even found the picture!! But then she said she ultimately had no proof??? She was accusing me of being someone who is just lying for free food.. Wow. Nasty piece of work, lady. DO NOT RETURN TO DEER VALLEY GEORGE AND SONS!! Make the drive to the friendlier and better quality Scottsdale location.

We love this spot! The best Indian-Chinese fusion in the state, every dish is so tasty and fresh…read more The inside is spacious and has lots of natural lighting. & the service is quick! Every noodle dish I've gotten from there has been amazing, same with the orange chicken (for those of us that love when there's little mandarin orange pieces with the chicken), they have dumplings they have mango lassi, genuinely they have it all! And ITS HALAL! Make sure you check this place out!

We walked in at 5:30 on a Friday night and the entire restaurant was empty. We thought perhaps…read morethey were closed. We were seated and it actually took longer than I expected to get a drink order. No diet beverages due to a broken dispenser. I saw that they had a small Indian beer selection, so I ordered an Old Monk which was displayed at the bar and in the menu. "Sorry, we don't have a liquor license". OK. I'll have water which was on the table in covered carafes but was warm since any ice had long ago melted. They have a strange menu of Chinese and Indian food. Not a big selection of either, but it allowed me to select Indian and my wife to choose Chinese. I asked about the portion size of the Chicken 65 and was told it was a starter sized portion. My wife wanted Sweet and Sour but not chicken or shrimp, she wanted tofu. The kitchen agreed to make it but told us up front that they weren't sure how it would be (found that odd). We also ordered Lo Mein since we assumed the Chicken 65 would be smaller. With all these troubles, the food came and it was very good. The Chicken 65 was a very large starter. I thought it was very good with the exception of finding some cartilage chunks in the meat. The sweet-and-sour tofu was also very good. I am not sure why the kitchen did not have confidence in their abilities. Lo mein was just average. When it was time for the check, the waiter wanted to know if we wanted a box for the little bit of lo mein that was left and we said no so he inquired to whether or not we like the dish and offered to take it off the bill or make us something different. We told him that everything was fine. The food was fine and we were just ready to go. All in all, I don't think we would return here due to the lack of selection on the menu. It was kind of limited. The menu was also confusing since it didn't group things together very well.

Legit Taiwanese food due to TSMC being in the area. Glad I was able to try this place! Small menu…read morebut good selections. I tried the beef noodle soup which has soft tender beef, bouncy noodles, little mustard greens, bok choy and broth with a tiny kick. For appetizers has the popcorn chicken with real pieces of chicken and not just batter. I love the crispy basil pieces in it. Fish cakes was good too which is like a salty tasting mochi-like appetizer. Lu Wei was also good with marinated seaweed, boiled egg and braised tofu. Yummy! And of course I paired it with a Jasmine green milk tea with boba and also got a chocolate boba. They started to get busy to a cozy spot. Service was good. They should put some tables outside to accommodate more in dining seating. Overall delicious and would come back!

No doubt in response to the large community of Taiwanese now in north Phoenix, Owl Owl Boba Chick…read moreis a lovely new addition to the Taiwanese food scene in Phoenix! They've only been open for 5 months and having intelligently kept the menu tight so they can execute every item well. On this visit, we were welcomed with a warm hello! We decided to order the popcorn chicken with Thai basil, Gua Bao (now called Bao Buns on the or newest menu), spicy wontons, and green milk tea w/boba. While we were waiting, a group of Taiwanese customers entered the cafe and their conversation instantly warmed my heart. To hear Taiwanese mandarin like this was not something I had expected when I moved from SoCal to Phoenix 18 years ago. Onto the food: perfect popcorn chicken with DARK meat! Well seasoned, and not overly battered. The Gua Baos were the STARS of this visit. Soft and warm steamed bread encased perfectly braised thick pork belly slices. The addition of pickled veggies and sugared peanut powder told me the owners are DEFINITELY Taiwanese. Every bite was perfectly balanced with salty, sweety, umami flavors. The spicy wontons were good as well, although the skins seemed a little thicker than I am used to. The sauce was garlicky deliciousness. Their green milk tea was flavorful and perfect at 50% sweet, with light ice. The boba was on the larger side and probably had been sitting for a while, as they weren't as chewy they should be. Next time, will try their custard pudding add-on! I'm so happy to have stumbled upon a gathering place for Taiwanese nationals in Phoenix! So grateful for Owl Owl's presence and I hope they continue to expand their menu and keep their standards high. Looking forward to our next visit, where we'll try their heartier fare, like the bowls and beef noodle soup!
