Teri & Yaki - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Pasadena, California

Attended a holiday event and it was catered by Teri & Yaki. The teriyaki chicken with half rice and noodles with one side of kimchi cucumber was delicious and the portion was huge! The chicken was tender and I'm glad the sauce was to the side as I thought it was already well flavored. I loved the to go box it was in, sturdy as I was not able to finish it and it survived my bike ride home. If you ever have any catering needs, this place definitely has it down pat as I really enjoyed my meal! read more

Very mid establishment. The food is pretty bland (I ordered a side of spicy mixed veggies and there was no seasoning to them) and the portions are on the smaller side. Service was quick and the guy at the counter was nice. read more

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! read more

Teri & Yaki - Chicken teriyaki plate with cucumber salad - Japanese Near Me - Pasadena, California

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. read more

Went out of my way for some Teri Yaki as it's been about a decade since I had their food from their Arroyo location. That place is long gone and Lake is the last joint standing. Even though this place is further, and the parking is a little tight, this is the superior location. Food was dancing on my palate, as delicious I remembered it. Wish they still had the spinach side, but the cucumber is just as good. I'll prob be back soon for a chicken and beef combo. Thank You! read more

I ordered take out, Chinese Chicken Salad. Teriyaki Chicken, broccoli & white rice. Portions were more than enough, I was happy the food was delicious! Going back soon. read more

Amazing Korean - Japanese takeout food! My partner and I are regulars here and we especially love their Korean beef and pork. Their teriyaki chicken is also always so good. I especially love their sides- their japchae and garlic noodles always make my day! Will continue to eat here :) read more

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. read more

Teri & Yaki - Menu as of 5/31/24 - Japanese Near Me - Pasadena, California

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. read more

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. read more

Great little spot for some yummy food. I had the Chinese chicken salad and the wifey had a teriyaki chicken. The woman working there was so sweet. read more

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. read more

They also have sit down service. read more

Best teriyaki place I have found in SGV. I have tried 5 spots so far. It was fast and fresh. The teriyaki sauce is super flavorful and bright without being too sweet. The sides I got, pickled spicy veggies, cucumber salad, and bean sprouts, were crisp and went with the brown rice and lettuce perfectly. I will definitely be back. Oh, and the portions were better than any other place I have been, especially for the price! read more

Group of 8 church ladies...and all of us enjoyed the food very much. The price was reasonable and the service was great. Considering that we all arrived at opening time, the person there was quite calm and efficient. Will definitely visit again. read more

This no frills counter service teriyaki spot serves up good plentiful portions. I dined in and my chicken teriyaki plate was served in a plastic container. A plate would have made for a nicer (and more eco friendly) meal. read more

The meat had a little too much sauce for my taste. Not the best I've tasted. Not exactly a good value. Nothing about this place warrants a recommendation. But if you happen to be walking by this place and you're hungry, this place will satisfy. read more

Teri & Yaki - Spicy pork - Japanese Near Me - Pasadena, California

A small place located in a busy area of Pasadena. Parking is found in an alley off Locust Street. There are a few designated spots, but it's in a really awkward position. I ordered the Beef and Chicken combo for $13.50 with glass noodles. As a side I also got a small order of potstickers. The chicken was better than the beef, and would recommend sticking just to the chicken. The teriyaki sauce doesn't taste like the typical teriyaki flavor that I'm used to, but that doesn't mean that it's bad. The noodles included in the meal were average. The noodles were overcooked and it didn't taste like much and to be honest I didn't finish it. The glass noodles were overall better. I don't recommend the potstickers. Overall the food is adequate for the price, but I wouldn't drive out of my way for it. read more

The restaurant has parking behind the store. It's a small parking lot but parking wasn't an issue I ordered the chinese chicken salad and the beef & chicken plate. You get a choice of a side. I chose glass noodles. Food is good. I think I prefer the chicken vs beef. The salad was great. I really like their dressing. Good spot. Service was also good. read more

The Teriyaki here is so bombb!! I've always seen this place closed in passing, and wondered like what the hell, why are closed at 8pm. Then, as fate would have it, was able to finally make it in right before closing one day. I was greeted by a beautiful lady working the register who was very helpful, & super nice while I was trying to figure out what to order. Placed an order for Chicken Teriyaki Plate which came with a side (there's like 7 side options to choose from), I chose broccoli. Also decided to have the double chicken for an extra $3.00, not too shabby. Also, you get to choose whether to have noodles, rice, or both with your plate which I thought was so dope. And man... let me tell you, this did NOT disappoint. The chicken was good, not great. It could've been seasoned a bit more, however, it was still very well cooked. The broccoli was perfect in my opinion. It wasn't mushy or overcooked, but had the perfect little crunch.. It seemed to have been tossed in sesame seed oil, which I thought made it super tasty. I wanna try out other things on the menu, but I'm type of person that once I find my item, we're ordering it every time lol. $17 very well spent. Good meal, good vibes, excellent service! read more

OMG! Soooo Gooodddd! Don't go anywhere else, this place is legit, and it's tasteful. 100 percent quality teriyaki done right, not over cooked, or undercooked. No scrappy meat, or odd ball rice and noodles. Very good tasting and very delicious from beginning to end. I am definitely saving this spot and will be coming back for many more! Parking is a challenge, so order ahead or plan it right to get your food. Other than that, the lady this morning was extremely helpful and courteous for a 1st time visit that superseded my expectations! Thank you!! read more

Decent Teriyaki spot that makes for a good quick lunch if you're in the area. ITEM'S ORDERED: Beef & Chicken Plate (brown rice, white meat) & Chinese Chicken Salad One win here is they do not upcharge for brown rice or choosing to to get all white meat chicken. TASTE: All these teriyaki places are quite similar. It's just really how good their sauce is & how well they cook their proteins are major factors. Sauce here is not the best teriyaki sauce I've had, little too sweet for me here, but adding in some chili paste fixed that & brought the flavor together much better. I would say both the beef & chicken were just a little too try. Nothing so bad though & in argument of the chicken, it was white meat. The rice was not overcooked or mushy which is good. I really enjoyed the fresh cucumber side. It's a little pickled (sutble sweetness & just a little tart). The salad is a little too basic but overall tastes good. It needs to at least have carrots in it. It's really just some shredded chicken breast, almonds?, romaine lettuce & fried wontons. The dressing kind of reminds me of that sesame dressing that many people seem to purchase at Costco, but more tart, which I like. SERVICE, LOCATION & PARKING This was a pickup order through Doordash so I did have minimal interaction with staff. But the lady who have me my order did seem very nice. They are located on Lake Ave, but you'll want to turn onto Locust St, where they have a small parking lot in the back. You'll see their sidewalk sign pointing you where to go. I'm open to grabbing a quick meal again if I'm craving teriyaki. read more

They were a little pricey for me when they first opened in 1996. Today, they are quite affordable. The food is delicious. I wouldn't say it's authentic any more than Yoshinoya or Panda Express, but it's good enough to be considered. Parking in the back could be interesting when busy. read more

Always great service, amazing food, get their sesame chicken salad!! Been my go to for over 7 years. Love this place! Definitely a Pasadena staple. Their salad is one of my favorites ever!! read more

A client requested this restaurant for a catered lunch so I ordered online, had it delivered and everyone was pleased. We had half and half white/dark meat chicken teriyaki, beef, salmon and a large sushi tray. It appears that the husband and wife delivered my order and they were so sweet and appreciative of my business. Will use this restaurant again! read more

Disappointed in dryish chicken. I have always loved this restaurant because the meat is so juicy & flavorful. I love that they serve dark meat, as that's my preference. Sadly, today the meat was not at all juicy. I'm tempted to think the meat had been cooked earlier and reheated. I haven't been here in a while, and maybe i just got unlucky, so I'll try it once more. The glass noodles were tasty but with less sesame flavor than I remember. Not an issue, just different. The server was cheerful and very nice. read more

Teri&Yaki is exactly as advertised: a quality, tasty, healthy grab-n-go made for busy customers. Although they do have indoor/outdoor seating, they also have a efficient option of curbside delivery in their designated rear parking spots. I feel like I'm late to the party with this establishment, but better late than never. read more
