Steak Teriyaki Plate
Matthew K.

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.

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

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.

I ordered takeout for a chicken teriyaki bowl and this place was pretty good for a quick bite. They served a lot of chicken! It was pretty good and easy to eat. The rice was good too - tasted fresh.

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!!

A plate 3/4 of the way full
Ojeda J.

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

Inside
LeAndre A.

Today was my first time trying this place. I got the teriyaki burrito. The cashier was very helpful when I told her it was my first time there. The inside of the location is pretty small; maybe it can fit about 15 people. I took my food to go. Once I got home and started to eat, I noticed that the burrito had decent flavor, but I did notice that I was eating more rice than steak meat. I'll try this place again, but I'll try something different on their menu.

Salty Korean wings
linda t.

Sooo salty! We were driving up north and decided to stop by Teriyaki Js for lunch. We got the chicken teriyaki plate which was good. Beef teriyaki plate ( meat was dry and overcooked) Korean wings combo & buffalo wings. My Korean wings were so salty i couldn't eat more than 2 pcs. It's like they mistakenly added salt instead of sugar to the sauce. Buffalo wings were also on the saltier side also. The fries that came with the combo was good. Hopefully they see this and fix it because the cook was really nice & told us how he branched out and opened his own business after learning the recipes from working elsewhere.

Star Crab is honestly one of my favorite seafood boil spots. The food is always flavorful and hits…read moreevery single time. I always get the Full House sauce with mild spice, but with a side of medium sauce to dip into too. I know it sounds crazy, but trust me it's SO good and gives the perfect balance of flavor and extra kick. The seafood tastes fresh, the sauce is rich and buttery, and the portions are really filling. The fries and extras soak up the sauce so well too. I also like that the spice levels are customizable because everyone in the group can get what they're comfortable with. Service has always been friendly whenever I've gone, and the atmosphere is casual and fun for eating with friends or family. Definitely one of those places I keep craving and coming back to.

Ordered the Shrimp Star Combo and overall it was a pretty disappointing experience. The shrimp…read moretasted like they had been frozen for a long time -- the meat was soft and falling apart, which made it feel far from fresh. The seasoning didn't help much either. I also didn't like the sausage; the texture and flavor were both off for me. The only decent parts of the combo were the corn and potatoes, which were cooked well and actually enjoyable. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to save the meal. Service was another downside. I placed a takeout order and stood by the register for almost five minutes without being acknowledged at all. No greeting, no eye contact -- nothing -- even though staff were nearby. Overall, I wouldn't return. If you're looking for a cajun seafood boil, Boiling Crab is much better in terms of freshness, flavor, and service.

The…read moreDowney location didn't live up to the hype for me, felt like it was more about the banda vibe than the food. But this spot changed that. The tostada mixta had really solid savory flavor and the tacos sinaloense were on point. Definitely worth it if you're looking for both good food and a good vibe. Ambience was nice, good energy overall. Just heads up, parking can be rough. You can try Main Street or the lot if you get lucky. There is usually a waitlist too. Overall, I'll be coming back and can see this becoming a regular spot.

We really enjoyed the octopus tacos and the shrimp ceviche tostada - they give you extra tostadas and everything pairs perfectly with their draft beers! Veronica and the manager were very welcoming and accommodating considering it was our first time there! LOCATION: - Has a few tables inside and an outdoor patio with plenty of seating - really enjoyed the outdoor seating when it's good weather out! PARKING: - They have a small lot in the back with about 6 spots but plenty of street parking WAIT: -About a 20 min wait for a table for 3 on a Friday around 5 pm NOTES/DEALS: - They have social hour from 3-6 pm with discounts on drinks and draft beer! - Their paper menu is in Spanish but if you scan the QR code on the table or go on their website, they have it in Spanish + English!

It is not huge and I think a lot of their food is to go and they also deliver. It is super clean and the people that work there seem happy. The service is great and they are pretty fast. I don't know if they take reservations, we just walk in and have never had a wait more than 5 minutes. It is really cute inside and it is comfortable. Some of them also have outdoor seating. We love all of their fish dishes. They have the best shrimp cocktails and the ones we get have avocado on them. The sauce is great and the shrimp is fresh. Any fish taco you want will be super. If you get a plate of food it comes with beans and the best rice, it is not the orange rice, it is white and ever so tasty. It does not matter what you order, it is all good. Have fun.
