I was craving Teriyaki Chicken and unfortunately the 3 places I would normally go to were closed. So I decided to look on Yelp and, find the best teriyaki chicken restaurants near me. A chicken teriyaki plate comes with 2 scoops of fluffy rice and the chicken was grilled just right it was moist, fresh, and really flavorful. I always ask for extra teriyaki sauce because it's never enough for me. I like to put it all over my rice and my chicken. I had my food delivered to my location and, it was lukewarm because the DoorDash driver had gotten lost. Also I was charged $.65 for 2 small teriyaki sauces even though on the menu it's was .25 cents (it's the principle). I had my food delivered to my location so I don't know how the restaurant looks inside. Next I will go pick my order or dine in because it would have been 10.95 for the combo meal! But, as you can see DoorDash up sales all the meals on their app. I would've paid 13.00 for my food they charge an operating fee (to run DoorDash) and add the tip the final price was $20.74. I would highly recommend you giving it a try it was really good! read more

Joy Teriyaki - Chicken teriyaki plate~2 scoops of rice w/salad - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been looking for a yummy teriyaki place and a friend suggested Joy Teriyaki. Friendly customer service and not too long of a wait for delicious teriyaki chicken breast plate that comes with a small crispy fresh salad. I added gyoza which were delicious as well and miso soup. The miso was a bit salty for me and had no seaweed. I'm not sure if they just make it that way or forgot. I didn't ask for utensils so maybe that's why I wasn't given any (my mistake I guess) but the food was excellent and I'll be back!! read more

Great food and great customer service. The woman behind the counter is super nice. She remembered me and what I ordered last time. She even brought my to go order to my car. Love this place! read more

I tried their spicy chicken bowl for me it was spicy I took a shit I will not go back there for me it was not delicious except for the rice and the potstickers I'm sorry I will not eat there again I learn my lesson read more

Came here on a whim because I was finished up at Target and had a hankering for some teriyaki. Thankfully, it was literally right next door and they were open. Inside was clean and they had a ton of plants inside that you could also purchase. Walked up to the counter, looked at the menu for a minute or two and decided to get a spicy chicken teriyaki bento. The older gentleman was very kind at the front and my food came out fairly quickly. I took it back to share with K. It included: two scoops of rice, spicy chicken, two tempura prawn, two gyoza, a spring roll, an egg roll, miso soup, and a small salad. Pretty good amount of food for two and for $17. I will say the spicy chicken was good, but I prefer a saucier spicy sauce. Would come here again if I'm in the area. read more

I asked several times if the chicken teriyaki was served with veggies and the cashier said yes. WHERE THE VEGGIES?? Thanks for the pile of sugar chicken and white rice... THIS is why all of America has diabetes, myself included. read more

Joy Teriyaki - Chicken Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My family often eat take-out. Always great. As far as ambience, there is none. It's an eat-and-go place. Staff is competent, sorta friendly, but I keep coming back for the food not to socialize. read more

Never have had an issue with service nor food. This place is friendly efficient and bomb. I go here for my lunch and they have dine in available. The service is outstanding and would recommend if you love noodles and popstickers read more

Super nice and friendly folks. Notable incident where our Grubhub driver stiffed us one bag and refused to go back and get it. One of the owners called us to let us know and actually delivered it herself! The franchise as a whole has decent Asian fusion fare (Japanese, Korean, etc.) like you would find in Hawaii. It started in Gresham, and now has locations around the Metro area. This one is our favorite. read more

Favorite teriyaki spot, the food is always incredible! Portions are pretty large and the food is made quickly. The employees are all very nice here read more

Used to frequent Joy Teriyaki years ago, stopped in today and it has gone downhill horribly. Maybe new owners or management? Food, cleanliness/ambiance etc definitely lacking. read more

My go to place for this style food. Always clean , friendly service. Consistent on their flavors and quality of dishes. They offer a few items that are not typically on your mind when deciding teriyaki dining that make you say oh yeah I'll try that. Haven't been since covid stuff started so hopefully I will return soon . read more

This place suck. I ordered here be accident and called to cancel as it was my fault. I got a call a few minutes later with someone from there yelling at me about wasting food. Omg I didn't mean too!! Never ordering from any of the Joy restaurants!!!! read more

Great Place. Got a great teriyaki bowl for fairly cheap. Service was quick and staff was very friendly!

Ordered to go was great! Jalapeño chicken and yakisoba chicken ! Super good ! Great price ! read more

Joy Teriyaki - Jalepeno chicken - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Joy Teriyaki, a local chain took place of the national chain, Taco Time. It's a slight improvement but only just. First, the pricing is higher than your average players of teriyaki (tableside service or otherwise. If you order any rice bowl, expect just your meat of choice on rice- nothing else. If you want a plate with some veggies or a salad, expect to shell out about $8. I had the former, I should have paid the extra $2 for something green. The sauce itself isn't bad but isn't mind blowing either. I would say that you get what you pay for, but I can think of any number of food carts who get you more/better food for less. It's strange that they don't put water cups or silverware out near the soda fountain, you gotta grab those from a random table (they set some, not others), or ask someone at the counter. Just am odd vibe, but it's new so maybe they'll find their groove. read more

The food is generally tasty. Cons: The wait times are ridiculous, even if you call ahead. The accuracy is not stellar. If you're replacing rice with veggies, be prepared to get rice and a $3 extra side of veggies. You may randomly find a 1/2" screw in your food. read more

Joy Teriyaki - Found in my veggies at SE Foster & 82nd. - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is my go to place when I don't feel like cooking or it's just too hot!!! The only item I order is the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl or the Pork Teriyaki Bowl. Both just $6.99. It's simply teriyaki meat over a generous serving of rice but absolutely delicious! every time. It is 2 meals for me for sure so well worth the minimal cost. They are take out only at this time but only 7 minutes of prep time. I would hate to lose this neighborhood jewel. Please support them. read more

First off, excellent service! Sometimes the employees are in the back helping the cooks and handing out the food to other customers, so don't feel negative in any way if they're not at the front counter/cash register waiting for customers to come in. I came down to Oregon to visit a few family members, and we heard that Joy Teriyaki was a good teriyaki joint to come to. We were driving by and saw the "Joy Teriyaki" sign and decided to stop on by. The food is so good! Excellent left overs as well. I ordered the beef teriyaki bowl and substituted my rice for noodles, and it was a good portion of food! Definitely filled my stomach up for lunch. Pretty wide range of teriyaki selections all for reasonable prices, especially in comparison to other teriyaki restaurants. read more

Joy Teriyaki - Pictures of the different types of meat they offer and salad dressing sauce! - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The first time I visited everything was good except the woman worker so rude. The second visit today I ordered friend rice with chicken the menu says .50 for extra meat which I wanted shrimp she told me no I couldn't do that then I asked for sure of sweet n sour chicken or plan chicken again she said I couldn't do it I have no idea why when it says on the menu you could I will not be returning read more

I always seem to drive past this place till one day I decided to drop by and seee why the parking lot is always packed. It was really good! The sticky chicken bee east and the the fried rice were both super tasty. The fact it's always busy and has a small parking lot shouldn't scar anyone away, they staff was also helpful in recommends. read more

Right in the middle on teriyaki places. Food is decent but not outstanding, clean, fast service, large amount of food for the price (probably 4 chicken thighs with spicy/teriyaki sauce plus 2 scoops of rice and an iceberg green salad for $8 in my order). read more

Place is clean and empty... counter-Lady was nice... I ordered a tofu-bowl and also a side of grilled veggies. The bowl was 5 grilled slabs over a mound of plain white rice. The grilled veggies were a smart addition, seeing as how the bowl-option was basic-b#tch-status. In the words of Socrates "There are many other Teriyaki places to try in Portland Oregon"... read more

Absolutely no comparison to the location around Gresham and 181st, paid the same price to get half the amount and quality of food. Don't go to 82nd. read more

The only reason they get 3***'s is because they're food is actually really great!! They're customer service however SUCKS!! The women that usually takes orders is more then unfriendly, straight rude, acts like your inconveniencing her to give them your $$$$! read more

Really good food! Well seasoned & great service. Jalapeño Chicken was also good. Thanks! :) read more

Joy Teriyaki - Mongolian Beef added noodles instead of rice - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Best Teriyaki place in town that is not named Du's!!! My girlfriend and I eat here all the time, and both highly recommend it to our friends. The only complaint that I have is the religious dining room music. But, I'll happily tolerate ANY music if it keeps the spicy sauce flowing. It is literally THAT goddamn good!!! (They are also extremely prompt with take-out orders, whether you phone in ahead or not!) read more

I've only had the Poke here and this is what my review is based on. Poke is traditionally supposed to be marinated for hours before serving. However, Joy Teriyaki gives you raw tuna or salmon and mixes in the sauce you choose at the time of purchase. This is not Poke and it was definitely lacking in flavor and texture. read more

Great food & great prices. Had the spicy beef bowl & gyoza LOVE the gyoza, crispy on the outside and flavorful.

Zero ratings for this place.. not recommended to eat at this place! As I am Deaf... I ordered a meal but she gave me an attitude. She needs training in customer service or food service whatever works. Not recommended to eat here. no respect. read more

Recently went to this restaurant inside is crude tables dirty floors nothing on the walls food is overpriced and not very good I would recommend going down the road on 82nd to Happy Teriyaki across from Les Schwab much better food and better prices read more

The best crappy teriyaki joint around! Granted I've never actually had their plain teriyaki but damn their other food is good. Chicken katsu curry is my go to. They give you a HUGE portion of katsu, and a separate tub of chicken curry with potatoes, carrots, onions, and peas. Seriously 3 meals. Katsu is always well breaded and crispy. When I'm feeling like something lighter I go with the jalapeno chicken, it's basically teriyaki chicken sautéed with jalapenos and onions. Also their prawn tempura is way better than it has any business being. You're almost guaranteed to be greeted by a grumpy teenager, so that's fun. I love misery. Grade A junk food! read more

The food is very good for a fast food establishment. They give quite generous portions on all orders. Customer service, however, while not completely lacking could definitely use some work. My experience with this place is that their servers more often than not come off as rude. read more

Worst Chinese Food I have ever ordered. I mentioned ordered rather than ate is the Stir Fry Vegetable with Shrimp was uncooked. No cooked shrimp will be gray opaque. After bringing my concern to the Waiter, I only got a wired look and no actual response. It was evident non of the employees were interested in fixing (cooking) my order or providing a refund. Ended up leaving my raw food on the counter. I noticed another customer spitting out their food, probably to check and see if their food was raw too. read more

They get a 2 star rating because their food is actually good otherwise their customer service isn't just lacking...it's downright RUDE!! The woman owner at the register is always confrontational & snippy! Her husband cooking in the back is def bi polar and can be worse then her then other times he's against her and just rude to customer & her! I will no longer come here due to the way I've been treated several times not just once. Thought it was a bad day but apparently they have a bad day...everyday! read more

Went back to Joy Teriyaki to actually try some teriyaki this time. The first time I went, I was pleased to see curry chicken on the menu so I ordered that. Yeah, the curry chicken was really good, but I always planned to come back to try some of their "signature" stuff. So, this time, I had teriyaki chicken with all breast meat. The chicken was tender, flavorful and nicely charred with grill marks. The teriyaki sauce had a thick enough consistency to stick to the food. I like that. (I don't like thin watery teriyaki sauce like some other places have.) The accompanying salad was fresh and crispy too. It was all excellent. . .I'm giving them another star this time. read more

Very boring, petestrian fare. If you like fast food that tastes bland and fills your stomach, it'll get the job done. This reviewer recommends that you go hungry, as hunger is the best spice, Jon snow. -Maester Aemon Targaryan of the Nights watch. read more

This place is horrible! The man was so rude I was about to buy food and my 5 year old son has to see so bad and the man said "it's not my problem " and watched my son piss on himself I dread of unlocking the bathroom. I'm disgusted in how we were treated and I let everyone I can know to boycott this establishment read more

Good food. Lots of choices. I recommend the stir fry veggies. It has more variety than most shops in its class
