Needed something super quick before my next work session! I wasn't feeling anything "fast foodie" related and have been wanting to increase my protein intake sooo.. ofc I naturally went for Teriyaki Madness! Did I need or want the extra veggies with the rice? Nahh.. i'm particular in how my veggies are cooked. But, just the teriyaki chicken with rice in a junior bowl was enough to fulfill my lunch slump hunger! I didn't even need the extra sauce it comes with! Ooh! a tip on adding veggies though that I think would be amazing IF they had shredded lettuce as a veggie side since it would soak up that yummy teriyaki sauce! Teriyaki madness, ya feel me on that? Lol not sure if that's already a thing here~ Definitely go here for that quick, eatery vibe! they have some other proteins like salmon, tofu, steak.. yup definitely coming here for that protein fix- and if i'm feeling wild.. maaaybe adding veggies next time hehe. read more

Teriyaki Madness - Junior size teriyaki bowl w/ only rice - Japanese Near Me - Salinas, California

Outstanding experience from start to finish. We were automatically greeted upon entry, which immediately set a welcoming tone. The ambience of the restaurant was clean, fresh, and well-maintained, making it a comfortable place to dine. The staff were courteous, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit, providing excellent service without feeling overbearing. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and prepared perfectly. Between the great service, cleanliness, and quality of food, this place truly delivers. Highly recommend and will definitely be return! read more

At first we assumed Teriyaki Madness wouldn't have gluten free options since teriyaki sauce typically includes gluten; however, after looking online we were pleasantly wrong! Most of Teriyaki Madness' options are already gluten free without making any requests or modifications. The menu is easy to read and straight forward. Build your bowl, choose a protein and a base - vegetables are included in all bowls. We got their basic chicken teriyaki as our protein and upgraded the base option to fried rice. The bowls came out hot and everything tasted great. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the fried rice was very tasty, had good size pieces of egg throughout, and had a nice fluffy texture. The veggies were mostly broccoli and cabbage and had a nice crunch while still being cooked. I'd be more than happy to go back to Teriyaki Madness! Good quality food that left us satisfied and full. read more

Haven't had a bad bowl or experience here. Customer service is always good the area is always clean. Definitely recommend if you don't know what to eat. read more

On one of those, "I dunno, what do you want to eat?" nights we settled on Teriyaki Madness and were not disappointed. It's a limited menu so what they do, they do right. The rice is good, the noodles are good, both are good bases for the flavorful teriyaki that goes atop. The restaurant itself is not much, there's limited seating and there's no wait staff to speak of (It's all from the counter), but the food is just great, it come quick, and the folks are friendly. read more

Food is always great at this place. Chicken is always cooked throughly. The staff is always nice and willing to help. read more

This one star is for the service this place took too long to get my 1 bowl order like 45 min while different people walk in some order the same like I did and they got theres first not know why or the reason but that's it other then that the food is good read more

This little gem of a place always leaves me full and happy! Service is great, portions are good and the food is served piping hot! For anyone looking for a quick, quality meal that doses you up with all the veggies, rice and protein you could ask for, look no further than Terriyaki Madness! I truly appreciate the simple menu options with the ability to customize the meal in a variety of ways. My recommendation is a fried rice bowl with either salmon or chicken terriyaki. Try it yaki-style to get everything cooked in the wok together instead of layered in the bowl separately! The space the shop operates is small and is often very busy, especially at lunch time so I'd recommend ordering ahead if you can. Ultimately, I love the place and highly recommend it. It's clean, the food is made fresh to order and the staff is friendly. read more

young lady at the register was not hospitable at all lack of customer service first time coming in would prefer better customer service hope food is Good I ordered 2 bowls rangoons and a single drink for a total of 40.00 hope is good read more

Great service and great food Anthony was helpful fast service would go again price is right

* Quick service * Friendly staff * Vegan/Vegetarian Options available * The tofu is cooked very well and the sauces are so good! * Ambiance/atmosphere isn't anything special. Just a quick bite to eat-style * Add ons are a bit pricey given portion sizes of the add ons (ie extra protein) * Quality/Service differs too much from other locations, which in this case is good because I prefer the Salinas location read more

Teriyaki Madness - Tofu Teriyaki Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Salinas, California

They have great service. Amazing food. i recommend the two protein bowl! Food is always fresh!

Teriyaki Madness totally hits the spot every time. The chicken teriyaki is super tender and has that perfect grilled flavor. Portions are big -- I usually have leftovers, which is a win. The veggies are fresh and not soggy, and the sauce is seriously addictive (get the spicy one if you like a little kick!). The staff here is always friendly, and they get your order out fast even when it's busy. Place is clean and has a good vibe too. Definitely one of my go-to spots for a quick, tasty meal that doesn't feel like fast food. read more

The cooks are rude asf. I asked for extra meat, and the guy in the kitchen just glared at me angrily 10/28/25. Fuck you guys.

I like that they have edamame and many tofu options available. I ordered the spicy tofu teriyaki dnd my niece ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki read more

Great service food was amazing and it was very fresh. Most definitely will come here again.

Excellent food. Second day today Picked up lunches. Will try other dishes soon. read more

4/5 Stars I stopped by this teriyaki chicken spot and was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly -- the sauce had that ideal balance of sweet and savory without being too heavy. The portions were generous for the price, and the rice was nice and fluffy. The service was friendly and fast, even during a busy lunch rush. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that the veggies could've been a bit fresher and the dining area could use a little more atmosphere. Overall, a great place for a quick, satisfying meal -- I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Love this place. It reminds me of ono Hawaiian but teriyaki style. I will definitely come back if I'm around the area again.

We came in for dinner. The menus were so high near the ceiling, we could not read them Also, with no lighting, we couldn't read the menus because they were in the dark. (Why have menus placed where folks can't read them?) We did see a smaller menu on the counter, but it was stuck to the counter. Who wants to stand in front of other customers just to read your menu? -- Poor planning. We left. Because we can't see the menu, there's no reason to return. - (photo attached taken by someone else) read more

As my family are huge fans of Teriyaki Madness I feel that this location could use some improvement. My mom ordered Teriyaki Madness for my family for dinner through UberEats and when we got our order we discovered they had given us NO napkins NO teriyaki sauce and then to top it all off our food was cold. And my family has never had this problem with Teriyaki Madness before and my logical guess is that they let food sit out on the counter turning cold while waiting for other people to get their food. But our food tasted good and never has let us down before. But I think Teriyaki Madness could at least give you sauces and napkins with each order and that would seriously be a good improvement indeed read more

Bomb bomb bomb, would 10/10 come back, service is fire and so is the food, also it was quick

JUST HAD THE BEST TERIYAKI OF MY LIFE!!! Teriyaki Madness, you've won me over! The chicken is juicy, the sauce is, and the portions are HUGE! 10/10 would recommend #TeriyakiMadness #FoodComa #Yum read more

I want to thank Teriyaki Madness for offering gluten free teriyaki sauce. My daughter has celiac and it's very difficult to find food out that she can safely eat. We just visited Teriyaki Madness for the first time a couple of weeks ago while we were traveling home from central coast. The food was good and my daughter was able to get a chicken and rice bowl with teriyaki sauce. I looked them up and found they have restaurants in San Jose too. Yay! We are thrilled to have another safe restaurant to eat at. read more

My review will be based on the fact that we have tried the other location in Marina many MANY TIMES and absolutely loved it. We were extremely excited to hear that they were opening one up here close to our house the first time we had tried it. It was late in the evening and we didn't feel that was giving them the best opportunity to shine. We went late they had just opened their doors as a new business, so we put everything aside and decided to try them again mid day after they have been open for a while I stopped in yesterday about 2 o'clock. I would like to say the girl at the register was extremely sweet and this review is in no reflection of her because her service was good she was sweet and she was very courteous. Now let me get to the food, we pretty much get the same thing every time and like I said, we have patronized theMarina location many times ... with that being said we thought the food was actually horrible. There was no sauce and when you order it yakosaba (spelling) style that means that the vegetables and the noodles are cooked together with the sauce as you can see are dry Ramen noodles, and barely cooked broccoli was not the case. They did not hive us the teriyaki sauce that comes with the bowls. Also, when I placed the order, I asked for less noodles and more vegetables- I'm pretty sure we were charged for more vegetables and a second protein in my medium bowl and that's ok if that's what we got. We didn't.The Rangoons were pretty burnt kinda disappointing due to those being my favorite. 60 dollar lunch and very very disappointed. read more

My sister told me about this place and how she ate some delicious chicken teriyaki here! I was super hangry for lunch and decided to get a spicy chicken bowl and it was honestly the best thing I did for myself. The food came out piping hot and the chicken was still juicy in the middle + the veggies were seasoned well too. Going to keep this place as one of my go to's down in Salinas! read more

First time was okay. Second time was mid. Third time was spot on! Give this place a try. Portions are great. As they should be for their prices! Do yourself a favor and get white rice instead of fried rice. Don't forget to grab the spicy teriyaki sauce. Crab rangoons are delicious and a must have! Egg rolls aren't impressive. read more
