It's the best teriyaki and yakisoba in Salem and it's not even close. We've been going here for years and I'm worried the owners are going to retire eventually and I will be left searching for a new place. My only comment is that the yakisoba is strong on the black pepper, but that's how I like it. I will say the owner who runs the cash register and brings your food is almost comically gruff. He seems like he would rather be anywhere else. Doesn't bother me since the food is really all I care about. I just find it funny. His wife, who does the cooking in the back, is a lovely lady. read more

I stopped by on a Monday around 11:15 am. It was quiet and peaceful inside, with a nice Japanese vibe. Only one person was dining in, but quite a few people were ordering to go, like I was. I went with the teriyaki chicken and the pork Katsu. Both came with white rice and a salad. I had heard good things about their egg rolls, so I got a side of two. In about 10-15 minutes I had my food and was on the way home. The teriyaki chicken was delicious, with a tasty sauce and good-sized portions. The salads were pretty good. The pork Katsu had good flavor and the katsu sauce was fruity and sweet. The pork was a tad dry. The steamed white rice was standard, but tasty. The egg rolls were good; rich and crispy, they came with sweet and sour sauce packets. This is a good, standard teriyaki place, with a nice, quiet atmosphere. I will consider dining in the next time I stop by. read more

Teriyaki Diner - The quiet and peaceful interior. - Japanese Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Had the Teriyaki Salmon, best I've had in Salem. The place was clean and the atmosphere was pleasant. Fast service.

Tried a place that was close to my customer. In a strip mall and small but a good number of tables and booths for sit down. Seems to be a mom and pop place. I ordered the shrimp with vegetable tempura which is how it is listed. I was shocked cause the shrimp were panko breaded so definitely pre-made frozen. In regards to the veggies all e kept onion seemed to be made then. The onions seemed like the type you'd get at a fast food place so pretty sure pre-made too. It was okay but not what I expected. read more

Teriyaki Diner - Shrimp with vegetable tempura - Japanese Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I'm going to keep this short and simple because that's what this meal is. Ordered the chicken teriyaki to go. Midweek around lunch time. Several people inside which was nice to see. Got my food pretty quick almost to quick which makes me think the chicken is already cooked and they just reheat it. Honestly that's kind of what it tasted like because it seemed a bit dry. The rice was ok. I wish they would offer veggies with it. I prefer a thicker teriyaki sauce. Also wish they would offer other sauces like sweet chili and chili garlic. For the price these days it's fair. It does come with a basic side salad with some sort of poppyseed dressing. I would go back and try a couple other things but go find out for yourself and check them out. read more

Teriyaki Diner - Teriyaki chicken with rice and yakisoba. - Japanese Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I really enjoyed the food. There was a good portion that I was able to make it 2 meals. I recommend this place fully.

Pretty damn good place with the typical dishes. The egg rolls are off the hook though. In all honesty, my last meal from here were just the egg rolls. I dunno what it is but they are so good. Pretty quick in prep and service. We've gotten To-go and dined in. Not disappointed at all. Ambiance is good. Clean tables, friendly staff (albeit as friendly as someone who is just taking your order and doesn't respond much to chit chat). That's ok. Repeat customers. read more

Food is always consistently good with a good price. Love that the chicken is good and has no fat!

Today I joined one of my friends here. I had the shrimp and chicken teriyaki. She had the salmon. It tasted good. However while I was eating the rice I had a white/gray hair in it. We are human and it happens perhaps I will try them again and not have hair in my food!! read more

Delicious food we eat here often. We love teriyaki dishes and this is the place to go if you do too.

So we stopped by for a late lunch. Don't bother trying it. The teriyaki chicken was dry and the rice had a fishy taste. The soda was completely flat even after the tank was changed. The chicken katsu was inedible. read more

Best & cleanest teriyaki restaurant in area. Our first time, & we'll be back. We live in McMinnville

I had the chicken catsup and my husband had a noodle dish, they were both very good and relaxing music and atmosphere.

First time here. Teriyaki chicken was tasty. Katsu chicken was a bit dry, yet tasty. The gyoza was the best menu item. Nice, warm, and crispy. Fair prices. Support local businesses!! read more

Just a small mom & pop restaurant with good variety in their menu. I had spicy pork (T7) which had plenty of flavor and just the right amount of heat. Dine-in meals are served on nice china in a pleasantly decorated restaurant. Dishes are a tad small for the price, but I will definitely return. 4+ stars. read more

Food is good. Most unfriendly service. Owner rarely talks and always seems grumpy. No refills on fountain drinks. The food is fine - but I won't come here again. read more

I was hungry from working and Apple maps brought me to this little joint teriyaki diner. Walking in, I was surprised to see how chill the atmosphere was and how little people were eating here. My main problem with this place had to do with the server, he was very hard to understand and came across as kind of rude. I felt pressured to hurry up my order even though there was nobody in line. The food was amazing however. If I could give 3.5 stars then I would have. read more

My favorite teriyaki place in Marion and Polk counties! Get tempura everytime because it's the best. The teriyaki is also amazingly delicious! Today I tried the vegetable curry with chicken! Let's just say definitely will be getting this again! Atmosphere is relaxing, date night appropriate and inviting. I recommend this place to everyone!! read more

I just ate at this great place a couple hours ago and it deserves a review!! We ordered the spicy pork, chicken teriyaki, combo plate of beef and chicken, all came with rice and salad, order of gzoya's, and side of vegetables. The order was ready in about 15 minutes and we are very happy with the food! It was fresh and delicious! Spicy pork definitely spicy and flavorful, teriyaki chicken tender and yummy. We'll definitely be back for more. The gentleman and lady who were there were courteous, the place was clean and organized. Only open for take out but yeah no worries about that, they're ready and included silverware/napkins in the bags. read more

Not always the fastest at getting food out but the quality of the food is always very good and tasty. This place is a diamond in the rough, I was pleasantly surprised the first time I came here with my mom and I have returned many times since. Yakisoba Chicken is my fav dish!! also they have fountain drinks as well as bottled beverages available. read more

I feel the need to update my review. I was right; my last order was more to blame than the food that was offered. Since that last visit, I have stopped by much more often. Part of this is helped that my union hall is right down the street, so this makes a convenient lunch location during Labour/Management meetings. I have taken to ordering the beef yakisoba and a side of fried rice. I really would like the option to substitute the white sticky rice with fried rice, so I don't have to pay an extra 3.5 dollars or so for it, but I can't complain about the yakisoba itself. The noodles are great, the meat is plentiful, although...and I find it odd that I'd ever make this statement ever....it seems like they skimp on the vegetables. I like broccoli in my my food....and the last few times I've went, I've found one little piece of broccoli. A few carrots. Lots of mush rooms....and some watercress. Now, it's hard to argue with getting a huge plate of noodles and beef. But some other texture would actually be nice. I don't want it overloaded, just a mixture. Still, I can't argue how much I crave this meal. I pretty much hit it ever Monday on my lunch break now. So....I guess that's as good a review for a placea s you can get. read more

Really clean, nice ambiance. Large menu selection with fun combinations. Really enjoy coming here.

This is my favorite teriyaki place in Salem. I've had the food here many times for multiple years, and it's always consistently delicious. The service is also fantastic. I used to always order a teriyaki chicken bowl. The chicken is always cooked to perfection, the rice has the perfect slightly sticky texture, and the sauce has great flavor. I'm now addicted to their yakisoba. It's the best I've had in Salem. I could eat it every day for the rest of my life. The prices are good. Whenever I order takeout, it's ready for me when I arrive (very quickly, I don't live far). read more

I drive pass this place everyday, and so happy I stopped in! Got the chicken yakisoba...so good! Food was hot, service was good. This may be my go to teriyaki place! read more

This is a solid teriyaki place. I've driven by for a while now and finally decided to give it a try. I called my order in and like magic when I showed up 10min later it was ready and waiting for me. Had the chicken teriyaki bowl, the portion was good about 1 1/2C rice with 6oz of grilled chicken. What really impressed me was the quality of the chicken. It's chicken thigh without any of the fat or gristle that is often found on restaurant dark meat. I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is awesome! Great food, selection, and the restaurant itself is really nice. Atmosphere is perfect. I can't wait to come back here. Spicy chicken teriyaki was great. read more

One star because the staff was very friendly and one star because the establishment was very clean. But that is all I can give . The chicken katsu was over cooked and smothered in plum sauce. The salad dressing; which I think was ranch, had separated and all of the oil and spices were on the bottom. The teryaki beef was dry and stringy. And I had to pay $.25 for siracha, which was available for free to those eating in. Disappointed! read more

Unfortunately this place is two doors down from my salon. I eat here multiple times a week. I have one thing to tell you: EGG ROLL. Ah-maz-ing. I love their chicken yakisoba. YUM. They also have a frequent diner card. My all time favorite thing is their side "lettuce salad" . I found the salad dressing magical. They can always have it ready to in ten minutes. The food is sort of spendy, but alas, I keep on going back. read more

Average to above average chicken teriyaki. Good service. Salad dressing was milky tasting - not my favorite. Tofu was really good. Sweet and sour chicken was over cooked, dry with little to no breading. read more

Definitely my favorite teriyaki place in Salem. Atmosphere: Simple, soothing, very clean Service: Just how I like it, friendly but not too chatty Location: Too good. Right on my way home from work. Food: The gyoza is perfectly crispy, the chicken is moist and doesn't have a gross amount of charring, and their salad dressing is good too! read more

I love eating here it's probably my favorite teriyaki place. I used to work at Hawaiian time and loved them but then I ate here and it's at the top of the list. Love love doesn't even compare. read more

The food is excellant! A restaraunt where the owner comes around to get a sensing of how the food tastes shows professionalism. Their short ribs rock. Highly recommended. read more

The place looks like nothing on the outside but surprisingly inside it is very clean and pleasant, with nice restrooms. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the pork teriyaki and tofu noodle dish. The pork was tender though strongly seasoned and I recommend asking them to go light on the sauce or put it on the side. The tofu was lightly fried and had a nice firm texture and flavor. The rice was freshly cooked and perfect. You never know how old fried rice could be but both our dishes came with fresh white rice. The salad that the teriyaki came with was just iceberg lettuce, but it was quite fresh and served with a nice light though cream-based dressing. Our two dinners and sodas came to around $22. We will certainly look forward to coming back for a nice late lunch/early dinner at this convenient location. read more

I was amazed that it was so intimate when it's 11 am on a regular work day. I really enjoyed eating the lunch special for chicken and beef! I would recommend this place for sure and would definitely be coming back again. read more

The place is pretty good overall but I have had better. Some of the noodles were stuck together some of the vegetables wasn't all that great that meat in the sauce though was very good. If they were to fix the noodles and vegetables so they all work together it would get a much better review. read more

My co-workers took me here on Thursday for lunch. I thought the food was awesome!!! Much better than the hibachi place they took me to. Was so happy with the food I went again for dinner yesterday. Might go again for lunch today just try a different dish. Highly recommend. Almost forgot... they sell Sobe Citrus flavored bottled drinks as well... one of my favorites. read more

The worst Spicy Pork Teraki , the portion of pork was placed on rice, so unless you really want rice instead of pork, maybe it works for you. Teraki should be grilled not boiled meat. It's was a waste of time and money. read more

Closed on Sunday's early. If you are in the mood for some really good Chicken Katsu I'd suggest going here. Perfect every time.

The owners use quality meat. Everything is presented neatly. Very clean.
