I really enjoy this place for a quick and healthier lunch. You can get a side of teriyaki chicken and steak for $14 and it's enough for two meals. The service has been consistently good, and the restaurant has always been clean and accommodating. I wish I would have tried this place sooner, but I will make up for lost time. read more

I'd passed by this restaurant dozens of times over the years and had always thought that it lacked curb appeal and was tricky access because of the amount of traffic at such a busy intersection, but I'd recently seen one of those food influencers online that speak too quickly and overemphasize everything to entice you to check it out and my girlfriend and I were looking for something other than the usual spots to eat at this particular day, so we did. We walked in and were greeted unenthusiastically by the woman behind the register after she walked out from the back and I tried to make some light banter and talk about the menu, mentioning that we had just seen a video online that made it look like a good spot, and she didn't engage at all. Okay, maybe she was just tired. So my girlfriend and I both ordered a chicken teriyaki plate and out number was called, we began to eat and were looking over the menu, which looked good but was very standard, aside from items where you could put hot sauce or hot Cheetos on it sort of deal. The food was just okay--nothing to write home about. It was a standard chicken teriyaki plate with a soda. Walking in on a day where the World Cup games were going on, one television was turned off and the other was showing a tv show with the volume off. There was no music in the restaurant, which was sort of weird feeling. The only thing in the background that cut through the four people eating and speaking to one another was the chopping of meat in the background. As we sat there to eat, we realized just how bare the menu really was and how expensively priced most items were. There were advertisements taped to the wall advertising discounts that had ended in the middle of last year right next to us as well, which was odd. Do they still honor the discounts or do they just not clean things up thoroughly? The decor was very cookie-cutter smash burger hipster, with the silver paneling lining the walls and the silver tables and chairs throughout. It just felt bland and in desperate need of a redesign and cleaning. Overall, very bland and I personally won't be back. I'll stick with the classics, I suppose! Thanks for reading!! read more

I have had there teriyaki before and I loved it but my most recent experience was horrible spent 50$ on one chicken beef plate macaroni salad literally just noodles and mayo nothing else and shrimp tempura for 8 $ they were the size of my finger and only gave me 3 when picture showed 4 they refused to give me a refund! read more

Was in the area and craving a Teriyaki bowl so looked up places and came across Ronin. I ended up going with a combo bowl beef and chicken. Combo bowl with a bottled drink was $23 ish dollars and I wouldn't mind the price of the food was good. The teriyaki was really watery and even the bottles they had for extra sauce all lacked flavor. What stumped me the most was the chicken. The chicken had a foul odor that after a few bites I could no longer continue. The beef was decent but I definitely won't be coming back anytime soon. Hopefully I don't get sick. Service was ok, cashier was friendly. read more

Ronin BBQ Teriyaki - Barbeque Near Me - Whittier, California

Was in the Whittier area, and this place looked interesting so I thought I would give it a try. They have the common teriyaki options like similar type spots; bowls, burgers, fries, etc... First of all, the grilled chicken was great from the teriyaki plate we ordered. My personal opinion on the sauce though, is that it is bland. I am saying this from a guy who loves teriyaki sauce. I would give the chicken a 5/5 but the sauce would be a 2/5. My son had a cheeseburger and thoroughly enjoyed it with fries. So good burger here. Will I come back? Maybe, but let's say yes if my doctor told me to cut down on savory flavored teriyaki sauce. ;) read more

Pros: -Their chicken bowl is tasty and generous portions served. -Service was friendly. -Ambience was chill. -Dining room looked clean. I didn't inspect their bathroom, sorry. -They sell bottles of Mexican Coke! Cons: -Their macaroni salad needs a straight up makeover. It was terribly dry and bland. (Surely Ronin BBQ Teriyaki can make better tasting mac salad because, well, who doesn't love a little yummy mac with their chicken bowl?) -They use those uncomfortable metal chairs in the dining room that are currently popular in some restaurants. If you're plus size or big & tall, just do take out. Not kidding. Will I return to RBT? Um, likely not until they come up with a better tasting creamy mac salad. There's zero excuse in Southern California to serve tasteless mac to your customers--and for $5. C'mon, Ronin, redo that mac recipe with that Japanese style Kewpie Mayo we enjoy! read more

Well, I came here because I wanted to get some tempura vegetables. Unfortunately, my temp of vegetables ended up being overcooked over steamed non-favorable without taste vegetables. I bought that with the understanding that the shrimp and for a plate was going to have tempura vegetables like I asked for. Total disappointment. People were nice enough, but it doesn't seem that it was understood what I wanted. Anyways we'll come here again for temporary. My kids got beef and chicken bowls, which were adequate. read more

Prices increased while portions decreased. Ordered two large bowls and they were so light; they were barely half filled. Portions used to be good size and were cheaper, it's a little disappointing. Also skimpy on the sauce, they charge and they're half filled (didn't realize I got charged for it until I got my receipt. Biggest pet peeve is not being told something is extra, it's just courtesy) . 2 large bowls and 2 sauces just shy of $30. Might have to try the new place at the quad after today. read more

Apparently this is the largest size shrimp bowl Happy good friday i guess. This is just the largest of the 3 choices for bowls. 5 piece shrimp with nothing veggie wise. Avoid this place the cashier didnt speak english and the little spanish i knew wasnt enough. The kid with the cross tattoo on his sleeve, was no better and he spoke fluent english. This place is a shit show, brought a coworker with me too. First impressions leave much to be desired. Dont waste your money at this whittier business. read more

Ronin is my go to place for teriyaki bowls. Everything tastes so fresh. Great customer service, great variety to choose from and overall very satisfying. If you don't live near, door dash it. Worth the price. Exceptional place. read more

I always pass by this place and wanted to try it. So today we tried and will never go back. I order the chicken veggie plate and the veggies were all raw. The cabbage was not cooked and was the core of the cabbage had to throw that out. Chicken was dried out. Never again!!!! read more

Overall, the food was good. Service was okay. The food reminded me of a Waba Grill or Flamebroiler. There is a small area to sit outside with two tables if you prefer not listening to the television. I also found the beef teriyaki to be better than the chicken after trying both. If you can't decide, probably the combo is the best option to get variety. read more

Consistently good food, large portions, if I buy a large combo plate I'll have enough leftover for lunch the next day fresh made food on the grill and open late, healthier option than fast food late at night. Employees are friendly as well. Always clean tables and playing television read more

Ronin BBQ Teriyaki - MEDIUM CHICKEN BOWL - Barbeque Near Me - Whittier, California

Been coming here for a year now and I love there food. Very juice and full of flavor. I usually get a large chicken and beef bowl with extra meat and it's fantastic. After a long day at work and starving this hits the spot for sure. A lot of food and they have discount online and there were I usually order. Love this place and will continue to be coming here. read more

Food looks better than it tastes. I ordered the chicken and beef combo plate, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. The sauce was a bit too sweet and heavy for my taste, and the meats were somewhat tough and chewy. The cashier also seemed a little unfriendly, which affected the overall experience. Hopefully it was just an off day. read more

I love this place buuuuuuut the app disappeared from my phone and no longer able to log in to my account on the browser. I reached out to get help regarding this issue since I have points I want to redeem and no response since then. I like the fact I was able to redeem from the app. I have the latest IOS and the app is not available. the Lack of communication and no one was able to assist, this place is on my Do Not Go list. Lost me as a customer. read more

I came here the other day to get some teriyaki chicken bowl to go. They give you quite a bit of chicken for $9 medium bowl. The chicken was though a bit dry and I ended up not finishing it because my teriyaki sauce wasn't enough and I ended up eating dryer than normal pieces of chicken. Service was quick as I called it in and when I arrived it was already ready to go. The place is a typical fast food place with a variety of dishes to partake. It was well lit and probably it would be good if they had a drive through. read more

Food is great here. Portions are just right. I love that they allow customers to customize their order. Service has been great. Ir's not a place to go sit down with friends. It's not cozy nor big enough to seat many customers. I always take food to go. read more

There is fusion, and then there is a mess. I got the chicken teriyaki over vegetables.-- which were not even cooked and the cabbage was in large pieces. I will not return. There is not real service you pick up the food at the counter.. read more

I have been driving by this location many times and was excited to give it a try. But unfortunately the service here is quite slow and very mediocre. After waiting 30 mins for your one bowl of food you get a large portion of rice with your small side of meat. The ratios for protein to rice are absurd. I was very disappointed and probably won't be coming back. read more

I feel Like their chicken is good quality chicken and tastes nice and juicy service was good my favorite place to get teriyaki chicken read more

Love the teriyaki chicken bowl and sandwich! They have a nice and clean eating area. The service was great!

Delicious! I've driven past this spot countless times, but I finally gave it a try after a recommendation from my coworkers at Ralphs--and I'm so glad I did. This place is officially my new go-to for teriyaki! The food was absolutely on point, and the customer service was exceptional. I was greeted right away and felt genuinely welcomed. The vibe inside is super chill and inviting. Highly recommend! Oh, and their homemade teriyaki sauce? Next level--seriously the best I've had. read more

I was given the wrong order... they also give very little chicken and A LOT of rice. First and last time here!

Great, healthy food and feeling, great price and fresh ingredients. Highly recommend eating here read more

Took forever for a simple take out beef and chicken combo. Definitely don't come here short on time

4 stars because the food is tasty! But don't advertise yourself as a "teriyaki" restaurant if there's barley any teriyaki sauce on the bowls (see photos for comparison vs me adding teriyaki myself) this wouldn't be a problem IF they didn't charge EXTRA for teriyaki sauce PLUS the portions of teriyaki sauce are inconsistent. Everything else is great! read more

Just visited this location unfortunately won't be coming back. I'm not one to post a review on something based on bad or good service. However, if you can't keep basic cleanliness and quality of food you're serving that's different! I got 2 chicken and beef plates with a salad. When I was putting dressing on my salad I noticed that the lettuce had dirt on it literally had dirt didn't even bother to rinse out the dirt. That's unfortunate I really enjoyed this place and I've noticed their quality going down my last few visits and now this. Anyway hope this helps read more

An order was placed through grub hub, but when the order was received, one bowl was missing. I called Ronisay that it was missing and the girl who answered the phone got defensive.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was disappointed. It was 77 degrees outside, but inside the restaurant it was uncomfortably hot. I couldn't finish my meal because of the heat, and there were flies everywhere since the doors were open. Unfortunately, I will not return again. read more
