    Tempura udon
    Christine D.

    The tempura udon was served hot and generally quick. The tempura was fried well so that it was not overcooked and the moisture of the vegetables and shrimp remained inside, while maintaining crispiness. Broth of the udon was also flavored well. It's a nice spot to come back to if you want a light meal.

    Feeling like Teriyaki? I highly recommend coming to Teriyaki Time. Their food is better than the other Teriyaki places we've been to around Elk Grove. The inside is clean with ample tables and seating. Our go to dishes are the Chicken Teriyaki Plate and Salmon Teriyaki Plate. All Plates come with a side salad, an orange slice and a side of teriyaki sauce. Their side salad dressing is very good. I'm not quite sure what the white dressing is, but it compliments the salad really well. Today I decided to try their Yum Yum Chicken Plate which is deep fried chicken. The chicken was crispy and tender. I really enjoyed the flavor of this dish and recommend you try it if you're looking for fried chicken as opposed to grilled chicken. We usually place phone orders so we can get our food as soon as we get there. If you order in person, it takes a bit longer because they cook it fresh. So it's up to you. I have seen some people just using the dine in bottle on their to go dishes before leaving. Just buy their bottled teriyaki sauce. It's really good and helps support this local business.

    Thai chicken, a must try! If you like spicy, get this!

    I love this place! Always great service and quick! The thai chicken is my favorite and a must try. Honestly, that's the only thing I get there. It's spicy and delicious

    The spicy Thai chicken is my favorite. Juicy and well portioned. I also enjoy the regular teriyaki. Service is prompt.

    I can't believe I haven't posted a review of this great restaurant yet! Our family has been regulars here for years. Really great, quick teriyaki-style food. It's a super clean restaurant and their fresh ingredients are prepared right in front of you. Delicious, healthy options and their teriyaki sauce is sooooo good that they sell it by the bottle! Right off the freeway. Bypass the In 'n' Out and come here instead!

Our server was young and we could tell she hasn't been doing this long, but she put in the most effort to make our meal nice and I was really blown away by how hospitable and happy she was to be there. That is hugely refreshing and so hard to find anywhere today. She brought me a basket to put my purse in under the table because I don't put it on the floor superstitiously. Our water glasses were always full. We were genuinely able to relax and have a nice time. The kitchen, however, had gotten overwhelmed before we got there and my stepdaughter's chicken donburi took over an hour to come out. I really don't want to fault them for that because it was a very busy day, but it might be a good idea to hire an extra line cook for the next big holiday. I'm looking forward to coming back on a regular day because I'm sure it will be 5 stars! The rolls were fantastic and creative (they're labeled on my photos.) I forgot to take a pic of the Osaka roll but it was devoured by my fiancé so it must have been delicious! The miso soup was full of mushrooms and had great umami flavor. The Sake nigiri was some of the freshest I've had recently and was buttery and delicious. Japanese food is my absolute favorite and this place delivered excellent service and flavor.

We ordered some cold green tea, and started our meal with 12 piece sashimi and an order of chicken karaage.

While I didn't get pics of every one of our dishes, trust me when I say our plates were left clean.

Expect to wait an hour for your food after you have been seated. We arrived close to opening at noon on a Sunday and did not leave until 2pm which is when they close for lunch. We sat at the back right side of the restaurant which is where the AC is blasting so it can get very cold when seated here. We started with the Ika Maruyaki (Teriyaki grilled squid) and for $28 this was a miss. No tentacles were served and the squid did not taste very fresh. It's really not worth the price point and I don't recommend it. The next appetizer was the toro roll and I think I need to order more sushi next time. The fish was incredibly fresh with a perfect amount of rice and high quality nori. I ordered the tempura udon - you really can't go wrong with the tempura here. It has a crisply light batter that is not too thick or oily. My husband got the tonkatsu curry and this always hits. The curry is so aromatic with the warm spices and the katsu is perfectly battered and cooked.

I also went there on Saturday it was also busy. When I got my miso soup there was tofu on the outside of the bowl stuck on the side. At least wipe It off before you serve it . Don't get the chimchurri steak . The sauce taste weird . We ordered the beef oyakudon before and it was disgusting it was thick cuts of beef instead of thinly sliced beef . My favorite entree to get here is the bento box with teriyaki chicken and sesame chicken. I came here tonight and a few tables did not get their food they were complaining that they have been waiting for their food . I wish they would bring it out at the same time instead of one person waiting for 15 minutes for their food to come out . Overall some of the food is good and some are gross. But the service here can be better .

Instead my mains came out before the appetizers and then my dates came after the appetizers came out. Everything was delicious but I hope that isn't a common habit as it made the meal feel a bit rushed and the waitresses were commenting about how much we ordered and if we could eat it all... everyone was very nice though. A little cold in the actual restaurant but makes sense to keep the fish cold.
