Unfortunately, we ordered a beef bowl and a chicken plate but we got a spicy pork bowl and a plate with half chicken and half beef! On a positive note, we still enjoyed all the food! I just wish I had veggies for more balance. They're super generous with their portions, so you do feel like you're getting your moneys worth. I love that they give extra containers of teriyaki sauce and hot sauce too! Everything is flavored super well and I love the char on the chicken! It's so good! Service is relatively fast and they're friendly! The parking is very limited but not too bad. We went on a Saturday evening and there were a few tables inside. It's not a good place for big groups, so I recommend just getting takeout and going home to enjoy! It was still nice and warm too by the time we got to eating! I'd come back again FOR SURE!

Came here after weigh ins for The Fit Expo. I got the Yamas fries and a side of rice. The portion was huge and they give you a very generous amount of meat. The fries stay crispy for awhile and were so delicious. I've had my fair share of loaded fries with soggy fries, but definitely not at Yamas. The service was great too. Would definitely come back.

Came here on a whim while getting my car serviced and wow, so glad I did. We ordered the chicken salad, chicken and beef plate, and Yamas fries with beef teriyaki. That was seriously some of the best teriyaki I've had in a while and the fries were insanely good. They didn't skimp on the meat or cheese on the fries. Please open up a Yamas in the SGV!!!

For it being in a small corner the portions are definitely small and the price for what you pay is awesome! The chicken and beef plate was perfect. It was so much food that I can safely half for now and half for later. Taste wise, it's freshly cooked and hot. This place is one of those places that will have me coming back for sure! The cashiers service was very kind, delightful and she answered all my questions I had. Before you go just know parking may be a little small since everyone goes there for Starbucks on that lot.

Great food, great service, located in a small parking lot. No need to go anywhere else if you're looking for some delicious food.

Highly recommend! The teriyaki chicken is so delicious I will definitely get a bowl next time but I could not resist the fries I've been seeing on social media. The hype is well deserved. The spicy pork yamas fries was 20 bucks and took about 10 minutes for them to make. Plenty of seating and parking. Overall I would pick the spicy pork yamas fries and order a teriyaki chicken bowl next time! Kind worker and very relaxing vibe with low level music playing. There is a reason why I saw so many people coming and going. They got some loyal customers for good reason- come check them out!

This place is a solid option if you're craving teriyaki :) I work in Westminster now and this place is being raved by police officers and government personnel so it must be that good. The place is an ordinary teriyaki joint and has a very clean ambiance. I assumed it's a mom and pops store based on the friendliness that they have. Nothing too fancy and simple :) I ordered their half chicken and beef plate which has beef and chicken with rice and salad. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The meat is sorta dry but the teriyaki sauce really helps the texture. Overall, not bad I'll go here again whenever I crave for some teriyaki :)

Chicken veggie plate

Legit one of the best chicken teriyaki plates I've ever had. The chicken was moist and just slightly charred on the outside, the portion size is generous, and the veggies are freshly steamed. I'm so glad I ate it at the restaurant as well, it would not be the same if it sat around on my way home. People who live here already know this place but if you're in the area and need some teriyaki, you have to stop by.

Menu (Feb 2025)

*** $10 minimum to use credit cards or debit cards *** Yamas Teriyaki is known for its homemade teriyaki sauce and has been serving the local community for over a decade. The flagship location is in Huntington Beach with a second location in Westminster. [Parking]: Plenty of parking spots available - I always find a spot whenever I come here at 7 PM. [Menu]: Pretty straightforward menu featuring bowls and plates with chicken or beef. They also offer California rolls and crunch rolls. Lunch specials are served from 11 AM to 3 PM. *** Chicken bowl (small $9.59): The chicken was grilled nicely, but the bowl had slightly more rice than I would like and the bowl was not the best bang for the buck. (3/5) Chicken veggie (small $10.99): The plate was slightly larger portion than bowl and the plate also included fresh vegetables. This plate was a much better option than the chicken bowl. It was worth an addition $1.50 price difference. *** A solid 3.5-star on food & I would recommend chicken veggie plate over chicken bowl for the best experience. As long as you avoid ordering the small teriyaki bowl, most of the other main menu items exceed the $10 credit/debit card minimum.

Good place. The prices on Yelp are very outdated. I took the liberty of taking pictures and adding so everyone is aware of the pricing. Good is good! I will be going back.

Okay don't hate me, but the Chicken Yamas Fries were alright! Much of the flavor is from the protein-teriyaki chicken. I didn't really get any flavor from the sauce they used. I will say the portion is good for 2 people.

Chicken and Beef Plate
Justin N.

This place is an institution- I've been coming here since my brother used to get us their food after a long day at school. The quality of food is still great as it was back then, and the smoky flavor of the chicken and beef gets you salivating for more! The ambiance hasn't changed in a while, but they have kept their warm, traditional look for over a decade! Don't need to fix what ain't broke! Food always comes out quick, I generally call in beforehand and they have everything ready in 5-10 for pickup :)

No onions but my daughter has to give me onions from her food because I was upset

We arrived to the shopping/restaurant plaza just prior to the opening of dinner service on a Saturday. Ample parking out front, blended exterior entrance to other businesses adjacent, and the interior was nicely minimalistic, clean, inviting, room between tables/other diners was good, a/c comfortable, music not intrusive to conversations, noise level would depend on volume of other diners, and we enjoyed the environment during our time there. We had concerns of wait time as our party consisted of 8 people but Momonoki accommodated us immediately. Service was excellent from the moment we entered to when we exited. Staff was attentive, friendly, and informative and the back of the house/kitchen was on point with getting orders out to table. We started with drinks and had a variety of appetizers which led to entrees. Salad was appealing and refreshing, appetizers were tasty, and overall we enjoyed the entrees (ordered all of the most popular and other choices available) as we kind of did family style so we tried everything. Came hungry so portion size initially looked average but our stomachs were full by the end of dinner. In totality, we liked the experience, service, and food on our first time visit.

They were busy but they made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us.

I really wanted to enjoy it, but the saltiness completely overpowered the other flavors. I also tried the spicy pork bun, which unfortunately tasted like it had been pre-frozen and then steamed. The texture and overall taste just didn't feel particularly fresh. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but overall, this just wasn't the experience I was hoping for.

It was cool to taste the varying levels of fatness of the fish. The super chutoro was practically butter. They also offered tuna to go at $50/lb. Definitely worth it.
