Tip: You can choose rice or noodles as your base for your teriyaki.
I have a soft spot for any place that does teriyaki. CF Markville Mall had a mom-and-pop teriyaki place that my parents and I used to frequent well over a decade ago. This business shuttered for good when the old food court got torn down and the fancier one that we know today was built.
It was sad to see this business go. We loved their food. The morsels of teriyaki chicken were generous and yummy.
For fast food teriyaki, I resorted to Teriyaki Experience after my go-to food court eatery had closed. Markham had two of these franchises. I frequented the Woodbine Avenue location more than the Warden Avenue one, with both on the north side of Highway 7.
Markham doesn't have any Teriyaki Experience locations anymore. Bummer.
Yesterday, I was at Cineplex Vaughan taking in a movie. Afterwards, I was in need of dinner. I did a search and found this Teriyaki Experience across the street, on the southwest side of Highway 7 and Vaughan. It's at Woodbridge Square, in which Nations Fresh Foods anchors.
I had no problem finding this eatery. It's in a corner near Osmow's Shawarma. There was a ton of parking when I got here after 6 pm. I backed into a spot and walked over.
There were three Chinese woman working behind the counter. The one that I interacted with was nice and efficient. They all spoke Cantonese to one another.
I looked at the menu. I felt like noodles as my base and went with thicker udon noodles. I could have ordered thinner yakisoba noodles if I wanted to.
You can also do rice as your base. You have the option of getting steamed white or brown rice.
I went with my usual, which is teriyaki chicken. This place also has beef, shrimp, and tofu as your protein choices.
I made my teriyaki chicken on noodles a combo. I chose a can of Diet Pepsi as my drink. Another woman went ahead and deep-fried my three spring rolls.
I paid with a credit card. I tapped. Done!
I was the only customer at this eatery. I found a table facing the TV and draped my jacket over a chair. I then waited patiently for my food.
I had already got my Diet Coke from the woman. I got a blue tray and placed my drink on it.
I enjoyed watching my food being made and assembled. It didn't take long.
I asked for extra teriyaki sauce. I held off on hot sauce. I said yes to sesame seed.
The woman handed me my spring rolls, along with napkins, a fork, and plum sauce. I thanked her and headed to my table to eat.
The spring rolls were hot out of the fryer. I enjoyed having them with the plum sauce. The spring rolls were veggie and had a decent amount of filling. They were crunchy and yummy.
I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken teriyaki on noodles. I loved the veggies. I got thinly sliced carrots, bean sprouts, cabbage, and more. I got a generous amount of chicken. The morsels were yummy. I loved the teriyaki sauce. It had a hint of ginger that didn't overpower everything.
The noodles were excellent. I got a decent portion. They were delicious.
My Diet Pepsi washed everything down. It was cold and hit the spot.
I used the washroom before I left. There's a single stall each for women and men. The women's washroom was spacious and clean. It is wheelchair-accessible.
I thanked the woman who took my order and cooked my food. She wished me a good day. I reciprocated.
This eatery is exceptionally clean. Even the garbage and recycling area was spotless.
It's nice that I found a new Teriyaki Experience location to frequent. I'll be back for more good eats!
