    Chicken bowl
    Elsie O.

    Delicious chicken teriyaki bowl. It was my first time here and I loved the food! A very full portion of chicken to rice ratio. There's parking in the back and the tables have view to the Main Street. The server was helpful in helping me decide what to get. I will definitely be back!

    Best food ever I brought my 10 yr old and she agreed I wish there were more locations!

    Pretty good for a local teriyaki joint. It was a last minute go to for lunch and it did not fail. I enjoyed the teriyaki chicken bowl and on another occassion the asian chicken salad. I was satisified with the flavors and the quantity. The chicken was fresh and juicy. This place claims to be the best and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be back for another take out lunch.

    Menu as of 5/31/24

    Came here in search of a quick family sized meal for 6. Two of us have smaller appetites so we decided to go with the family meal and a Chinese chicken salad. We waited around 20-25 mins for the staff to prepare our order for takeout. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed by our meal. I found the teriyaki chicken sauce to taste different than what I'd typically characterize as teriyaki sauce, and the meat to be a bit tough. The noodles were also a bit bland and overcooked/gummy in texture. In full honesty, I was a bit apprehensive when I saw that the sign said Korean fast food, as the menu is mostly Japanese American items. If you're looking for classic teriyaki chicken, noodles, and rice, I'd recommend going elsewhere. The portion sizes were pretty substantial, however the taste was lacking.

    A good, solid meal. Nothing groundbreaking, but a good, sensible meal, at a good price. The whole plate of food with tax was about $12. I took it home to go, and after about 10 minutes, the food was quite warm. A basic plate from this type of restaurant, but better quality then a certain chain with a "bowl." The chicken was NOT dry, the rice was good, and although a little too mushy, the garlic noodles had a nice flavor. I wouldn't just go here to eat, but if I lived in Pasadena, I could see myself going here once a week on a night I wouldn't want to cook.

    Every time I drive on Lake Ave before hitting Colorado Blvd, I would turn to my right and see Teri & Yaki. I have been wanting to try this place for awhile now and yesterday I made it happen. I came here with my dear friend. She was gracious to join me. Thank you my friend! Upon entry, I noticed quite of bit of bar stool seating. I wondered what this place used to be. They also have a few tables and chairs. It's not a very big place, but quite comfortable. Anyway, the menu was on the left side of the wall. Simple menu from teriyaki plates or bowls to salads to ramen to potstickers. Choices of protein or veggie are chicken, korean BBQ beef, spicy pork, tofu, vegetarian. They even have a family meal option. They also do catering. The lady behind the register was very nice and pleasant. Ordering was very easy. I went with the chicken teriyaki plate with both rice and noodles plus cucumbers as my side. The lady recommended the cucumbers as it being their best side. You can choose to have all rice or all noodles if you don't want half and half. My friend choose the same, but with all noodles and wonton chips as her side. My teriyaki chicken was tender and moist, rice and noodles had the perfect texture, sauce was very light and amazingly tasty, and cucumbers were crunchy and nicely marinated... just delicious all around!!! The only gripe was I wish the portions were a bit bigger. I guess I'll have to get two plates next time LOL. My friend enjoyed her plate, too. I'll definitely be back for more deliciousness and try their other food items. Overall, I had a wonderful lunch with my friend. You can't beat superb tasting foods at great low prices with good company. Parking is available in the back of the building. So come on by and give them a try. They are worth a visit. I'll see you here. Btw, cute business name "Teri & Yaki". I wonder if that's just a play on word for "teriyaki" or if they are actual people's names. I'll have to ask them next time LOL.

    Next to my office, very convenient if I want to have a quick lunch for work. Food: I ordered the teriyaki chicken plate. The chicken is tender and full of teriyaki flavor. The stir fried noodle is great. I also chose the spicy mixed veg for the side, which I personally don't like as it's a lot of onion. I heard the broccoli would be a good choice. Price: For what I paid for, $9.95 before tax, it's worthy the value for sure. Service: +1 The lady at the cashier is super nice and efficient! I would love to come back because of her~ They have indoor seatings, small but clean. The parking is in the rear. Overall, I enjoyed the food for what I paid for, service is super good. Will come back again.

    This "sniffs in" at 4.5 stars…read more.. Helpful and kind STAFF. Restaurant also has the name "Izakaya" per indoor signage. Very open and spacious authentic Japanese design without being overly traditional. They have small art pieces for sale on the walls. SALMON SASHIMI: -- big thick fat slices of pristine salmon -- wedge of lime gets utilized; nice touch -- $17 for 4 pieces is no bargain but the slices are thick enough to be two pieces at some sushi joints and this quality is "A" grade -- very tender, not next level tender RATING = A- The wife got the HAMACHI KAMA COLLAR FISH (yellowtail?) and was a fan. It looked good. The yellow thin creamy sauce was great. Citrusy? Familiar taste of sorts. SEARED SCALLOP SUSHI: -- good smoke, not great smoke -- nice texture -- $7 for one piece is hefty for sushi RATING = A- GARLIC SALMON HAND ROLL: -- garlic pop errs on underdone but that is safer RATING = A CHIARASHI DON BOWL was a wife order. Very appealing visually and she downed it. REAL CRAB HAND ROLL: -- A little simple and flat but solid RATING = A- or B+ GARLIC SEARED SALMON SUSHI: -- creamy wasabi sauce on it; visually appealing and equally delicious RATING = A+

    Came here to try the Dine LA deal, since they extended the dates. It lined up with Yakiniku Week,…read morewhere they were offering a complimentary course, so the timing worked out great! A5 Wagyu Tartelette with caviar 9/10: delicious tartare and truffle flavor paired well, it had a bit too much truffle where we couldn't appreciate the Wagyu flavor as much because of it Smoked ribeye tataki 10/10: delicious smoked flavor. Typically I'm skeptical that are as just extra fluff for visuals, but these micro greens actually paired so well with the smokey meat flavor. Chawanmushi 7/10: classic Chawanmushi, egg was cooked well, not particularly better than others I've had. The Dine LA menu says it is with uni and okra, but ours today was abalone and mushroom, which were still delicious. Prime ribeye 9/10: delicious soft and tender. They cook each piece for you Dry aged ribeye 10/10: not part of Dine LA deal. this was the complementary course for Yakiniku week. Had some extra flavor due to being dry aged 3-4 weeks. Wish it was part of the set menu! Wagyu short rib 10/10: favorite of the night! Melts in your mouth and delicious beef flavor Filet mignon 7/10: classic filet, soft. They serve it with the bone marrow rice. It was a bit bland so I'm glad they serve it with wasabi. If you haven't tried steak with wasabi, give it a shot. Bone marrow rice 10/10: prepared table side. The kimchi, mushroom, seaweed all pair well with the rice. Rice itself was cooked well. It wasn't overly salty or savory, it was a good balance of buttery flavor. Miso cappuccino ice cream 4/10: the vanilla bean ice cream was a bit icy rather than creamy. The miso cappuccino foam was too salty personally for me. There was a strong coffee flavor, but it was overpowered by the saltines. Imperial palace cocktail 9/10: not part of the set menu. It was a good balance of Yuzu and whiskey. Often times when you order a Yuzu cocktail it just has a generic citrus flavor, but this one was a true strong yuzu flavor. Refreshing and complimented the savory meat dishes Overall, it's pricey for the amount of food you get, but that's expected with a premium wagyu set dinner. Especially if we did not get the complimentary course, it is a small amount of food for the $78 set and you won't leave full. But the quality and taste were premium. Service: very kind and attentive staff. They even gave us a complementary palate cleanser dish, and a scallion sauce to try. Ambiance: spacious dining room, we did not leave smelling like smoke or barbecue. The bathrooms are clean and have fancy Japanese toilets. There's a big parking lot out front, which was easy to find parking.

I was disappointed of the value of the "original" set especially since they no longer offer the bone marrow fried rice (it's on the lower tier one though). For $128 set and you only get 5 pieces of grilled meat and they count the starter drink as a course is disappointing. Yes there's meat in the starter courses but when the restaurant is focused on grilled meats, it's kinda sad you only get 5 pieces (unless you order more). The food quality is good but the value isnt there like it used to be. The biggest disappointment was the service though. We were never asked if we wanted to order drinks and was not asked if we wanted to add anything else at any point of our meal. Could we have asked? Yes. But there's a level of expectation from the service with a restaurant like this where they're promoting an exceptional dining experience. The courses felt rushed at some points and then other times there was a longer wait in between. It wasn't consistent. Knowing how it is at the other location, the hospitality level was not on par. Also separate from the dining experience - one of the bidet toilets in the womens restroom wasn't working, but there was no out of order sign and BOTH stalls had no toilet paper for quite some time until we had to ask a worker to restock it.

They consistently put out above-average sushi and I've always had a good experience here. This Pasadena location can get pretty busy, so sometimes the wait can be a while. I came the other day for my birthday because they offer a free meal if you've had two check-ins prior to your birthday. I work nearby, so I stopped by during lunch and was able to get a single seat at the bar immediately. Perks of solo dining lol. Once you order, the sushi comes out pretty quickly and I like how they space everything out so you never have a bunch of sushi just sitting on your table. Everything tasted fresh as usual. I'm also happy to see that they now have daily specials, which gives you something different to try instead of always ordering the same thing. Always a fan of SUGARFISH and definitely can't wait to come back!
