While in the Whittier area, I was hungry and wanted a good chicken bowl. I read the reviews and this place seemed promising, However, it was just ok. I ordered the chicken veggie bowl with the sauce on the side. The meat was lukewarm, kinda dry and some pieces were a little tough to chew. The rice was soft but very boring. The vegetables were good other than that nothing to brag about. Decent prices for the food they serve. It's old inside and very small. The place needs a few upgrades. The service was good and they were accommodating. read more

My favorite go-to lunch spot on Friday's when I work my part time job. The owners are sweet and lovely. The food is great.

Teriyaki is amazing sushi is not... it is not a bright color how is should be and taste icky not fishy icky just icky if you want good fish go next door to the poke place this place is just for teriyaki read more

I ordered the combo plate with the default chicken and steak. It came with rice under the meat, and the two smaller slots had iceberg lettuce salad, which came with an oil/salt/vinegar dressing. The steak was a little salty and chewy for my liking, and I felt the chicken was a little dry/over charred. It wasn't particular good, but it wasn't bad either. It was a quick fix meal. read more

The Bento Box is the way to go!!! We enjoy the freshness of the sushi rolls, salads, soup and fried tempura. Straight fire

This place is value central. I ordered the teriyaki chicken plate with double meat and it was about $12-13. This easily lasted two complete meals. They are so generous with the meats :) The salad on the side complemented the meal well as it added a light crunch to the meaty, saucy goodness. The rice was good as well-- chewy and not dry at all. This place is perfect for a quick lunch bite between work hours, their service is efficient and great, and parking is not an issue. They posted a sign up saying they will have to increase prices soon because the cost of food is increasing a lot too. Understandable and I am willing to continue supporting this small family business. read more

I ordered the Red Dragon sushi roll and I found 2 hair on the rice. When I called, the person I spoke to kept denying the fact that there is hair on my roll. She was so rude and disrespectful. Instead of apologizing for the inconvenience she insisted to pick fights with me. I asked for her name and she refused to provide me her name. Dont order from here. It is unsanitary. Makes me feel sick to my stomach. read more

My husband and I are new to this area, so we decided to try out this place for lunch. We were greeted by the owners who were really friendly. We both ordered the bento (chicken for me and beef/chicken for my husband). We were so shocked at the quantity AND the quality of the food here. The chicken was tender and my husband's beef was delicious. The bento comes with so much variety, & is worth the price. You get your choice of meat, rice, salad, 4 california rolls (really hefty pieces), miso soup, and a variety of tempura. My husband and I really enjoyed the tempura...it stayed crispy and tasted delicious. We'll definitely be back to try more items! read more

PROS: - Great location with lots of parking available. - Food is delicious - Portions are very generous. - Don't know what it is, but their tempura is phenomenal here! - Prices are great for what you get. CONS: - None. BOTTOM LINE: If you're hungry and craving teriyaki, this is the place to go. If you can, try their fresh tempura... the batter is amazing. read more

Bomb teriyaki chicken and steak bowls are fire. Extra teriyaki will cost extra. Fast fresh and friendly.

Their teriyaki bowl is so good! Their service is top notch! So friendly, restaurant is clean! Only teriyaki place i will eat from

Ordered the bento box, steak teriyaki. $14 The steak has a lot of fat in it. Teriyaki sauce was ok. The tempura tasted old and it was chewy. California rolls tasted old Miso soup tasted like water, no flavor. Ended up throwing more than half away. First and last time here. read more

Place is great with generous portions. If you call ahead they will always have your order ready and fresh. Highly recommended! I go here every Friday for lunch. read more

Decent little mom and pop lunch spot here in SFS. Their chicken or beef udon is a deal at $8.95. Give em a try! read more

This place is not good for sushi rolls. Ordered the Alaska roll and the roll was stuffed with too much crab meat and little cucumber. The disproportion wasn't the main issue. The salmon was NOT fresh. I thought it looked funky to begin with but I was hungry and gotta eat quickly. It tasted like feet or vomit. Barely took a small bite of it and it tasted so disgusting. Avocado..rice.. were also not fresh. They tried to cover it up with sauce and sesame seeds too...unbelievable. You can also see the texture of the salmon looking funky. This was not on a hot day and the food was just served a few minutes prior to taking this photo. Went back in for a refund immediately. read more

It's good for take out as a quick lunch if you're in the area and need some food. I had the chicken teriyaki bento box. It came with soup, salad, rice, 4 pc california roll, and 4 pc tempura (shrimp, broccoli, sweet potato, and some other vegetable). At $9.75 it was a lot of food and ended up being lunch and dinner for me. There are better options for sushi and tempura but the teriyaki was great. read more

One of my favorite lunch places in Santa fe springs. The portion size for the bento box is very generous. I love getting the tempura and their California rolls. read more

I come here about an average of 3 days a week for lunch and I cant stop coming back for more when I take my lunch breaks here. What ups the Ante here is that they serve brown rice on their chicken bowls, which to me helps big time! because I like to watch my calories. On top of that this place still does not disappoint! because every time i get served my Teriyaki Chicken bowl its always made fresh! There's even a new Waba Grill that opened about a mile away eastbound on Telegraph rd. and their taste doesn't beat out Teriyaki Express. You can add simple toppings on your meal like : green onions, lemon, and even wasabi! If you like burns to the nostrils to clear the sinus, a tad of wasabi is a must! Just tell the cashier you want an order of the chicken bowl and they will yell out to the cook your chicken bowl order out loud! wait a couple minutes then Walla! your fresh chicken bowl is ready. read more

I called in an order for pick-up for my coworkers and I. I made the mistake of ordering "chicken bowls", when I really wanted "chicken veggie bowls". So when I didn't see any boiled vegetables in the bowl when I went to pickup, I guess I gave the biggest confused look to the lady behind the counter because she explained that only the chicken veggie bowl comes with steamed vegetables. The lady must have known that I really wanted steamed vegetables because she told me to wait, and was nice enough to bring out a little covered cup of vegetables to add to my bag of chicken bowls. And that's just one more reason my coworkers and I love coming back here for lunch! read more

November 7, 2018. Decided to try this place for dinner. At the teriyaki steak which was very delicious and also I tried the combination of steak and chicken teriyaki with a side order of gyoza. The food was very good. I recommend this place. Delicious!!!! read more

This place is nasty! Idk how it has 4 stars. The rice is nasty the shrimp wasnt even cleaned before they deep fried it. The chicken is hard the teriyaki sauce is nasty. Yuck. Ewww don't go to this place. read more

At first glance I thought this place would be like any other to-go teriyaki places that serve dry and overly cooked meat that is drenched with mediocre teriyaki sauce to cover the bland taste. But, after getting sick of going to Quiznos numerous times next door I decided to expand my options. I was pleasantly surprised that that my combo beef chicken bowl was served with such a generous amount of meat. The meat was delicious as well, very juicy and marinated in Korean BBQ sauce. They also don't skimp on the veggies! Everything is freshly cooked and extremely fast! think I just found my lunch hot spot and only 5 mins from work! :) read more

With a scarce selection of asian food in the Santa Fe Springs area (where I work), this place is a nice spot for a quick lunch. There's not too much seating inside, so I usually get this to go. They offer rice bowls with chicken and beef (similar to what you would get from you local Waba grill or flame broiler), but better! They also offer different Japanese sushi rolls, but I have yet to try that. My go-to order here would be the combo veggie bowl. For under $7, it comes with a bowl of rice and veggies with half grilled teriyaki chicken and half grilled beef. I think the beef here is the real game changer and what makes them different from the flame broilers and waba grills of the world. I feel the beef offered in those chain locations usually taste like small chunks of charcoal pieces that are beef jerky-like and hard to chew. The beef offered here tastes kind of like the korean bulgogi beef which are more thinly sliced but flavorful. Don't forget to get the sriracha on the side to give it the extra spice in your life! read more

Teriyaki Express is DELICIOUS!! The food is perfect every time I go there. They provide super fast service and very generous portions. I get a chicken or steak bowl mostly. Both are excellent! Today I tried their egg rolls and they were very crispy and fresh. They also have very good homemade sauces. Very nice people too! Highly recommended. read more

I tried this place for the first time and it was delicious. Large portions and it was not expensive at all. They provide a little bit of everything. read more

Just discovered this little gem tucked behind another business in a highly industrial area. I just started working in the area about a month ago and getting great food nearby is a challenge to say the least. This place offered very fast, very friendly service, the food was great and fresh. They have chicken and/or beef and/or veggie rice bowls, freshly made sushi, Benton boxes, and lots more. I had a chicken and veggie bowl, the chicken was perfectly cooked and the veggies were steamed yet perfectly crunchy and not at all soggy like some other places. The menu is simple, if not slightly limited, which is great to get food out faster but I can see the same thing getting old after a while. One thing I would love to see if maybe regular and large size bowls as an option. At about $6 for a chicken and veggie rice bowl I can say the prices are more than reasonable, but I wouldn't have minded paying even $2 more for a larger size or maybe an all veggie (instead of rice) option? Other than that it was a great experience and I'll be bsck read more

Teriyaki Express - Chicken and veggie bowl....so perfect - Japanese Near Me - Santa Fe Springs, California

I've only eaten here a couple of times because it is near my job. Both times I tried the sushi, which is maybe my mistake. Maybe I should have gotten the teriyaki. The first time I tried the Philadelphia roll and I think the Washington roll. These things are a little oversized, and the amount of cream cheese was truly astonishing. The second time, many months later, I got the crunch roll. It looked so appetizing. But it was in this weird space between warm and cold, the shrimp was a little oily and flavorless, and it's just too big. It makes it too difficult to eat, I don't like saving sushi leftovers, and it's not delicious enough for me to keep wanting more. Just go to the poke place next door if you're craving fish. read more

I've found this place by a friend so we gave it a try so I order a Fire Cracker Roll and I end up throwing away. The rice was dry and it wasn't tasty at all. I also ordered aside order of Edamame they taste old the only good thing is that they were warm. My friend order Shrimp Veggie bowl and she also said the rice wasn't the great that only thing was good was the veggies were good. This will be our first and last time we order from this place. read more

The people are very nice and the food is very good. Well, I've only had the teriyaki chicken and their salad, but those have been excellent. I eat here quite often since work is very close and it's in my routine of lunch spots. read more

I always come to this place because its close to work and pretty good but today I was waiting for my food and not sure where it came from it definitely wasn't from outside but it was a giant roach. Me and another customer say it and let them know and they killed it right by the entrance to the kitchen smh. This will definitely definitely be my last time eating here. read more

Great Chinese food, somewhat fast service, nice place to eat inside and outside. If you eat outside at night, they have these nice white looking lights. It is usually a quiet area with a starbucks and sandwich shop next door. For the typical american chinese food, convenient at a great price go to Teriyaki Express. Oh yea, the people were very freindly, I cannot forget that, good experience overall. read more

I love the fast service and the edamame is the best I've had.. The chicken cutlet is amaze-balls, and the chicken/beef bento box is always delish. They are quick, and when I call in my order, it's ready in 5!! read more

Get food for the price, they give you a big plate and a descent amount of food could feed two people at least. Overall really good will be going back :) read more

Delicious food. You get a bunch of food for less than $11. The bento box comes with meat, rice, salad, tempura (shrimp/veggies), miso soup, plus a 4- piece California roll! It's even packed up good so the soup doesnt spill for to-go orders. When I come here I consider it lunch and dinner. If you work in the area, I recommend placing a phone order in advance since it gets busy. Will def be back! read more

The food is definitely good. Everything I ate was slightly above average. I had a steak and chicken bento box. The meat was a bit overseasoned and over cooked. Chicken had great texture, nice char. fresh. Their sauce is sweet, a bit on the pulpy side. But is a great compliment to the chicken and steak. Rice was rise. The cali roll however, bulged with imi crab and you couldn't really taste anything but the crab. I wasn't a fan. The tempura batter was a bit thick, made it hard to really enjoy the actual item you were eating. In addition, I ordered a dragon roll. Eel and avocado on a cali roll... it was decent. This place is good for what you pay. It's great value for dollar, and it's best enjoyed as a take out spot. It's not the place you want to take a date... It's the place you go to on you're lunch break and you're in a rush.... You won't be dissapointed. read more
