Located inside the ARCO gas station (on the southeast corner of Ashland and Cedar Avenues), an…read moreinconspicuous place to find some of the tastiest teriyaki bowls in town, let alone sushi rolls, Lao-style chicken, chili chicken wings, dumplings, and fusion tacos, but that is what you get with Teriyaki & More. This little food stand may be the last place to find great Asian take-out, but the word is getting out. The chicken teriyaki rice bowl, $11.75, is as good as advertised. They use dark meat chicken. The meat is plump and juicy, indicating freshness and good quality. It is well-seasoned, infused with the flavor of the teriyaki sauce, and plentiful. They serve you more meat than vegetables, and the portions are well balanced with the amount of rice. The broccoli and sliced carrots are perfectly cooked and sautéed, adding flavors, texture, and vibrant colors. The serving portion is about a 1/3 more than what you will get at most take-out restaurants, and they give you a lot of meat. It is very reasonably priced considering the portion size. (The beef teriyaki is $14.50.) Their amazing teriyaki sauce takes the chicken teriyaki bowl to the next level. It is sweet, savory, and infused with ginger zest. It was hearty, delicious, and distinctly better than what I expect to get from most take-out restaurants or food stands like this one. There was a deal on the veggie egg rolls, $5 for 4 rolls. They are normally $8, so I ordered them. The cabbage was mushy from being pre-frozen. I wish some shredded carrots were also stuffed inside, but it was just cabbage. I thought it was overpriced for what I got. A hard pass on the veggie rolls next time. The egg rolls with stuffed chicken may be better. The gentleman who works the food stand and prepares the food is friendly and easy-going. He is Laotian and suggests I try the Lao chicken or their popular tacos next time. I might do that, but the chicken teriyaki bowl or plate is their most popular menu item for a reason. It is fantastic and guaranteed to satisfy.

Customer service was great unfortunately what I ordered didn't not meet up with my expectation I…read moreordered the teriyaki chicken bowl and veggie egg rolls, the egg rolls taste store bought I really dislike those kind I was looking forward to the donut shop types homemade egg rolls these where nothing of the sort, totally disappointed, ok the teriyaki bowl Was big for the price totally packed the rice as kind of mushy didn't like that, the sauces were good very well made. The veggies were fresh on point the chicken eh so-so, wasn't bad wasn't great it was middle lined. A lot of thigh meat, I like white meat it's my chicken preference I guess I like breast meat, the chicken was ok the rice to chicken portion was good very well balanced you get a good bang for your buck for sure, just overall the plate was mid.

We had the trip tip, chicken, mac and cheese, and rice pilaf. Everything was AWESOME! My guests raved about the food. Quite a few people asked for the contact information. It's the best barbecue i've had in a long time. I will definitely use this service again!!

Before I say anything about the food, the atmosphere was amazing. We were greeted even before hitting the door by the owner and the team at the smoker. This is a family business, and we definitely got the feeling that we were welcome. The food blew me away. I've been lucky enough to taste brisket at some of the best BBQ joints in Texas, and Mega is on par with any of them. The trip tip was tender and full of flavor, and the hot links nice and smoky. We were also able to try a house made jalapeno and Jack sausage that will blow your mind. Did I mention the sides? Brisket chili beans, Mac and cheese, and potato salad. Every single side dish was on point. I don't like my potato salad with a bunch of other stuff mixed in, and this one didn't miss. Hold up. Ever hear about Alabama sauce? Why hasn't anyone ever told me about. Alabama sauce? This concoction was delicious. A bbq sauce that's mayo based? Sign me up! You need to try it. Only thing better would've been a cold beer to wash it all down, bu then again, I probably wouldn't have left. Thanks again for the hospitality. We will definitely be back for the other half of the menu!

Visiting from out of town…read more I rarely buy bbq because as a Pitmaster the best bbq for me comes from my backyard. Well, you made me feel like I was in my backyard today. This is real deal bbq. Brisket was fantastic and the flat was almost as soft as the point (google brisket flat and point if you don't know). Ribs were a perfect bite off. Tri tip was cooked was cooked to my satisfaction and the flavor was great. I ate all my Cole slaw (trust me that means something) and the beans were fire!! Everything was pleasantly smoky.

The pulled pork sandwich was excellent, with contrasting textures and balanced flavors that…read morecombined smoky, tender meat with tangy sauce, crunchy slaw, and a soft, toasted bun. It was succulent, saucy, and deeply comforting. The pork was rich and exceptionally moist without being mushy, carrying deep smoky and savory flavors from the slow-smoking process and well-seasoned rub. The BBQ sauce was equally well-balanced--subtly spiced, tangy, and slightly sweet. It complemented the richness of the pork rather than masking it, and I appreciated that it was neither overly drippy nor sticky. The vinegary housemade slaw added the perfect contrast, bringing fresh crunch along with a briny, acidic sharpness that balanced the savory meat beautifully. The garlic-butter French roll held everything together nicely without falling apart, yet remained soft enough to absorb the sauce. I was not nearly as impressed with the tri-tip sandwich, which happens to be their best seller, though I still enjoyed it overall. The tri-tip itself was on point: thinly sliced, tender, medium-rare smoky beef piled onto a garlic-toasted French roll and complemented by tangy BBQ sauce. It delivered smoky, savory, juicy flavors with a satisfying contrast between the tender meat and the crunchy bread, which held the juices well without becoming soggy. That said, I thought the sandwich could have used a little more meat, which likely explains the popularity of the Jump Tri-Tip -- a larger version of the regular tri-tip sandwich that adds more meat on the same excellent bread for only a few dollars more. I also felt the sandwich needed an additional element to elevate it further--perhaps caramelized onions for sweetness, melted cheese for richness, or a sharper horseradish cream or garlic aioli to add more depth and contrast. Service was warm and friendly throughout, and I am always greeted with a smile.

It is a gas station parking lot so the ambiance is found at home. I was disappointed with the Mac and Cheese - essentially warmed Velveeta, and the biscuits - both seem to be fried and not baked, but not as tasty as a good fritter or hush puppy. The honey biscuits seemed to have fake blueberries in them for some reason. The potato wedges were very good.

The girl helped me and the guy said a fresh batch had just come out. I ordered the 8 pieces of legs and thighs. We didn't eat until about an hour later, but the coating was still crispy. The seasoning was OK, but not spectacular where I'd have to have it again. The chicken was thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. A perk of ordering dark meat. The area where the chicken is prepared and sold in the mini mart was neat and clean. Might try them again...

The salsa it's pretty delicious and spicy just the way I like it. We order on the phone but when we got there we still needed to wait for the food. Also if we didn't pay on the phone we would've not made the food. So I assumed that food would be ready. We still needed to wait. Nonetheless we will comeback and order again. The food it's always fresh, and hot. They have a variety of Mexican dishes but we always get the same thing. Ambience it's very casual. It gets busy so people order to go too. Highly recommend.
