    When you walk in you have the option to order from a kiosk or directly from a person, which is nice depending on your mood. The space itself is pretty small, with only about 4-5 tables, so it feels more like a quick eat-and-go spot. I got the teriyaki steak plate, and my dad got the half chicken / half teriyaki steak plate. I enjoyed my food overall. The salad was just whatever though -- honestly I could've skipped it and just gotten a bowl instead. My dad liked his meal too. He said it's not the best teriyaki spot he's had, but he would probably eat there again. We also got the ice cream churros (I ended up with the chocolate flavor). They were actually pretty good! I did notice they show other flavors on the menu, but when I ordered they didn't ask which flavor I wanted, so chocolate was just automatically given.

    Wow is all I can say flavor and tenderness on all their meats. Don't waste your time here fast quick service. Cool little spot in Downey/ Pico area. They ain't stingy that's all I have to say. Highly recommend.

    I got the beef teriyaki bowl with additional chicken for protein. Taste is ok, reasonable price and quick service. There's indoor seating and a lot of parking space.

    Well decided to come in as I met a very confident owner a while back. Place is cozy but clean. Atmosphere is Hispanic music flowing in the air. Cozy seating for 2 mostly a 6 seat nook and a 4 seat nook facing the windows. Counter staff very friendly and knowledgeable cook staff on ready to get orders. Ordered Teriyaki steak bowl and extra protein for a extra price shrimp. My wife said a good amount for being extra. She was satisfied with her choice. I ordered a combo plate chicken and steak. Nice Lil side salad chopped lettuce with your choice of dressing which comes in a Lil to go cup with lid. Nice. The protein to rice ratio was good not all riced up. Meat cooked well and enough Teriyaki sauce and sauce it self is great most taste a little off. Very satisfying. We order egg rolls. My wife said tasted a Lil watery the sauce it came with counter acts it. Seems the rolls need a Lil flavor. More napkins 1 or 2 per person not being picky Teriyaki gets messy Price to product = 7 Note egg rolls otherwise I would have given higher Cleanliness = 8 Customer service = 8 Plating = 8 Menu = 8 Flavor = 9 I will return would like to try other things on the menu I recommend this place

    Solid food, quick service, small hole in the wall vibes. I walked in at like a 7:30pm on a friday and walked out at 7:40 with my food. The sizing was easily enough for like 1.5 meals depending how hungry you are. Now, nothing amazing stood out from my order, fair game I ordered really basic and was in a rush, but the amount of times it can be oversweatened or just have many small problems is normal, but I don't really have any notes for it either. Like genuine solid food, The ratio for rice and meat is perfect, the sweet-savory is honestly really good (they gave me a sauce packet for more sweetness), and nothing felt old or left sitting out (sometimes the case for these restaurants quickly pushing out food). Solid 8/10, I would come again and make it a quick bite regular if i'm in the area. Price was around $15 for large.

    The teriyaki chicken plate is well balanced at reasonable price. Food taste good. Definitely will come back again. The place is really small. Not a place for dating nor business. Just to get good food for lunch and on the go.

    Teriyaki Js is a well known neighborhood quick and affordable eatery, devoted to making teriyaki bowls and plates to satisfy any appetite. Their in-house teriyaki sauce is the cherry on top! I love their bold flavors and how cheap it was! This restaurant is quite small, I got a small window seat, and noticed they had a lot of takeout orders. Regardless of how you order, rest easy knowing you're having excellent food!!

    Establishment is very clean both guys working are very polite Reasons for my 2 stars are: *ordered chicken and steak plate got only chicken (and I paid more for this) *change salad to steam veggies wasn't an add on it was to have it instead of ( charged me $2 more) *1/4 of the plate was empty just had the sauce in there *charged me a convenience fee 3.5% to pay w card *portion was small for a ("plate") Overall overpriced, portions are regular size, double checking the order before packing it would be nice and also mentioning for what your charging extra for goes a long way (maybe next customer) Don't intend on returning Paid $29 for a plate and 4 egg rolls that's very pricy You look at the picture and let me know

    Burgers are great! Teriyaki chicken is good, just added noodles to their menu and I'm looking forward to going back and trying them.

    I am so happy that I found this restaurant! My friend and I…read morewere craving sushi but didn't know where to go. We found this restaurant after visiting Porto's. The fish was really fresh and delicious. Their Sushi rice was really delicious. I can easily tell that they are putting a lot of effort on the sushi rice. The rolls were really big. We were so full at the end. I am definitely coming back.

    UPDATE: After my experience, I looked through other recent Yelp reviews and was surprised to see…read moremultiple customers describing very similar issues with the front-of-house service. Recent reviewers have described the service as rude, unhelpful, and accompanied by a poor attitude. One reviewer described the service as "awful, horrible, rude service," while another said the woman at the front had a "terrible attitude." Another recent reviewer described the host as rude after being told to wait outside in the rain and wind, and another specifically mentioned that the hostess was not helpful when they had questions. Unfortunately, this makes my experience seem much less like an isolated incident and more like a recurring customer-service problem. My own experience involved someone at the front who was unnecessarily difficult, unwilling to help with basic questions or alternatives, and ultimately refused service when I asked to speak with management. What is even more concerning is that I subsequently tried multiple times to reach management about what happened and did not receive a return call. When several recent customers are independently describing similar experiences with front-of-house staff, I would expect management or ownership to take those complaints seriously. Based on my experience and the pattern reflected in other recent reviews, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere that values its customers and treats them with basic courtesy and respect.
