Great experience!! We called beforehand to ask about gluten free options, and they were very helpful in walking through what they can offer. The environment inside is very cozy and cute, with a family owned feel. When we asked the server about gluten free options the chef/owner walked out to go over all the options with us. She was so sweet! We decided to go with the loaded fries, tacos, and a bulgogi noodle plate. The steak was cooked perfectly All the food was incredible! And the chef brought us complimentary gluten free cookies afterwards! Will come again read more

Love dining here! This popular Asian fusion restaurant is one of all my all time favorites- known for its bowls, bentos, and unique sandwiches, blending Japanese, Vietnamese, and Mexican flavors with options like Teriyaki Chicken Bowls, Bulgogi Beef, and my personal favorite- the Chap Chae! Located on 3rd Ave in the heart of Chula Vista! This spot serves up some of the freshest ingredients, flavorful sauces, and a relaxed, family-owned vibe! Service is always on point! Staff here are friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about the service they provide their patrons! Highly recommend dining here! First timers- you can never go wrong, ordering the Hung Wings, Alpha Meal Salad, Steve Steak Sandwich, and the Chap Chae! These are a few of my personal favorites and they all rank 10/10! Not even exaggerating! Enjoy! read more

Teriyaki Grill - Steak sami, bento plate and crab cake, YUM!!! - Japanese Near Me - Chula Vista, California

The Mekishiko & Estaban tacos are hands down the absolute BEST tasting and original tacos you will find in Downtown Chula Vista. We are always double (sometimes triple) ordering these when we visit. We are also always getting the Alpha Salad with extra veggies, Bulgogi & Chicken combo Bento Box, and Chap Chae. You can't go wrong with any one of these bangers. Very cute, super friendly, local Mom & Pop spot worth stopping in and supporting. read more

Great fusion food. The taco flight is memorable. Everything was delicious. Bulgogi spot on. The chap chae missed terribly with no sweet potato noodles. Honestly, I would just rename it as it was good, just not a bit authentic. Steak sandwich was a hit. The coconut curry wings are to swoon over. The sauce and cilantros over golden crispy wings is what dreams are made of. The service needs a bit of help. Friendly, but not attentive. Food is a 5 star Service, eh. read more

Great hospitality, solid food! If you want some grub that'll satisfy that palate and your belly, this is your spot on your third ave. It's hard to find an Asian kitchen in town that is both clean and attentive to their food presentation and hospitality. They constantly fill your water and will check up on you to make sure your belly is happy! Come with an appetite, open mind and be ready to have some unorthodox dishes. Curry chicken wings? Shoot, count me in. Wash all that savory goodness with one of their beers fresh from the tap! Everything is made fresh to order. You gotta wait a bit for them to cook your dishes fresh-to-order but it's always worth the extra anticipation. So many other spots will get your food out pretty quick but what's good food if what you're getting is just a quick warmup? Fusion can be a hit or miss but these guys will bring out your grub made with passion and love. They don't overcook their dishes and not only does it satisfy your belly but you'll be in for a treat. They have concoctions that you'll never expect to just hit different but it'll get you craving for it the following day when you wake up. Chicken wings are by far some of the juiciest I've had anywhere. Let them know your palate and they'll def accommodate 100%. Want to pair it with a good beer? There's a great selection of beers on tap from local craft beer to good ol' refreshing Japanese brewskies! Keep up the good work over there, guys! read more

Visited this Teriyaki Grill and tried their Steve Sandwich, The Chop, and Bulgogi beef . Ordered and specified what we wanted especially the spiciness of some food. Our server said she would let the chef know to set aside the spices on one of our foods specific for our son. But the food came out Spicy and also the portions were small and hope next time we visit the Pork chop would be tender , because it was not tender at all , the center meat was very dry . But the flavors were good though, and the service was okay. read more

Friday, 05APR2024@ 1800ish. The FOOD. I had ordered the Bulgogi Beef bento box. I was so indecisive in what to order and flipped a coin. It was NOT disappointing in any way! I loved it. The rice to beef ratio was a little off to me but I made do and was very happy with it. It was presented as shown in the pictures and I thought it was "cute." I was however not a fan of the red and yellow sauce shown, so I didn't eat that but the wonton/potstickers were fried to a perfect crunch, the runny egg, I loved it and would definitely eat it again. The SERVICE. If I remember correctly, our servers name was Kalie? I'm not sure, but she took our order by memorization, not by pen and paper which in my opinion shows a lot of effort and skills to take a big order and get everything order right and to the right person, so kudos to her. We weren't greeted on the way in, but we were on the way out. The AMBIANCE. The place reminds me of a modern, traditional, family owned, non-chain restaurant. It was very nice and warm inside. Downfalls: the only downfall to this place is, there's no designated parking. It's on a busy street AND if you manage to find a spot, you have to pay with a pay meter. I didn't need to use the restroom so I can't really speak on it, but overall the place was GREAT and I will definitely be back! Overall rating: 8.5 of 10. read more

I needed some Salmon. I ordered the Salmon Teriyaki Bowl. The fish, fresh and grilled perfectly, came on top of rice with a few veggies. The food was hot and only needed a little more Teriyaki sauce.....it's the sauce man. Service was fine. I wasn't looking for some cloth napkins and crystal goblets....so the setting was good for me. read more

Came here for dinner after work! I got the wings for an app which the sauce was good, maybe a little sweet for my taste! We also got the chicken/beef bowl and really enjoyed that it had alot of veggies and rice! The chicken was solid but the beef was next level! The service was great and very fast. The place is pretty quiet, at the end of the downtown chula vista strip which is a nice vibe. read more

I've been going here for around 10 years now, first fell in love with this place my freshman year of high-school, I tried the Steve's steak sandwich and it's been my favorite ever since. To this day this is my favorite place to relax when I want to eat something that reminds me of home. From the service to the food you can feel the love that goes into this family owned establishment, it's been my hidden gem for many years and will continue to be for many more. read more

Teriyaki has some of the most amazing food I have ever had. Their meats are perfectly cooked, and the service is amazing.

we either go to or pick up food from this restaurant on a regular basis. The staff are fantastic and very helpful. I have never had a bad experience. I like that they have combined a certain number of proteins with a variety of ways in which you can encounter them. While I really like their seared Aji, my wife enjoys their tofu, and my daughter loves the steak sandwich. I don't think you can go wrong. read more

This is my favorite spot. Everytime I come food never disappoints. I bring in friends to come & try their delicious food. I've read some people's bad reviews & I personally think they should try dining in any, take-out tends to get cold by the time you get home. I have always had great food here & I recommend it. read more

Love this place. I get it for lunch like 4-5 times a month. Always very good and very healthy too. The salmon bowl/bento/salad dishes are all super good. The chicken teriyaki is very good, even their more American dishes like that steak sandwich are also a solid choice, bonus points cause the fries are good too. The staff is super dooper nice and they keep the place very clean. It's a no brainer, head on over read more

Teriyaki Grill - Hung #1 Hot Wings, Teriyaki Chicken Bento - Japanese Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I went to this eatery with some friends for their foodie night. They were serving the You Fancy Sandwich, vierria, Steve's steak sandwich, Hung #1 hot wings, and tuna ceviche. Everything was so tasty and flavorful. The vierria tastes like bo kho, but they were trying to do an Asian fusion of birria, so it with some tortillas for dipping. My favorites out of the tasting was the tuna ceviche and the steak sandwich. The ceviche was essentially poke- it was so fresh and delicious. I love beef, so the steak sandwich was perfect- the beef was so tender! One of my friends bought 1904 loaded fries! This starter came with crispy fries topped with steak, topped with chimichurri sauce and garlic aioli. I love fries, so this was a great dish for sharing since it was so huge. For dessert, we got to try some flan. It was just the way I like it- not too thick or sweet and it came with a few berries. For drinks, I forgot the names of them, but the one I tried was light and refreshing. read more

My first time at Teriyaki Grill was thanks to my wife's wonderful recommendation--she's been here before and suggested we try it out today. There are so many great options on the menu! My wife ordered her usual salmon bowl, and my kids chose meals from the kids' menu. I went for the Bulgogi and Chicken Combo bento, and it was made to perfection--so delicious and on point! The salmon my wife ordered was perfect too. One of my kids had steak, and the other had salmon, both paired with some bomb potstickers and veggies. If you're looking for healthy options, this is your spot! I'm definitely coming back. The price was great for a family of four, and I'm happy to find another fantastic spot on 3rd Avenue in Chula Vista! read more

Only half of my order was accurate. I ordered wings and a taco and received wings and potstickers. The employee never said thank you ,come again, or any of the customer service you'd expect from what seemed to be a family owned restaurant. My wings were dry,overcooked, and just mid at best. For me there are too many other food options. read more

Great food with good portions. Bento boxes are a strong recommend. The tuna starter was a little spicy in a good way, and was eaten so quickly. We went in for a mid-week lunch and were happy to stumble on this place! Friendly staff, delicious food. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu. read more

I ordered a double chicken teriyaki bowl. I got home and they didn't close the lid correctly on the box and the sauces, so the teriyaki sauces opened up, and spilled all over the bag. The box was wide open as well. It got all over my granite countertop and seeped through and got all over the seat in my car! read more

Will come back! Cute spot for lunch or dinner. We were called to jury service down the street so we decided to pop over for our lunch break. I got the bulgogi bowl which came with this kimchi hot sauce. Really good! Reminded me of a bibimbap which I love. My fiance got the chicken and bulgogi combo bento. The salad dressing was delicious. The gyoza was okay. Bulgogi was definitely better than the chicken teriyaki, but that's just because bulgogi has such a rich flavor. Our food took about 30 min to come out. So if you're in a rush, probably call in or a pick up or take out. We were fine with the wait because we weren't in a rush and happy to see our food was freshly made. I saw some reviews about the wait. But if you really think about it. Don't you want your food freshly made? Definitely would recommend this place! read more

Ordered a chicken teriyaki bowl and the chicken wasn't even close to charred. It barely had any flavor. Usually this spot is really good and consistent. After this experience, I wouldn't get the chicken again. The steak is always good. The inside has a nice atmosphere. The customer service is friendly. read more
