Teri & Yaki

This place is alright. The food can be surprisingly delicious at times and on other occasions, it can be a complete disappointment. They lack a lot of variety in their choices for sides which was a deal-​breaker for me.
Also, their employees can be pretty unhelpful when it comes to helping you decide what you may want on your first visit. If anything, one of the women seemed frustrated and even annoyed when I added and changed a few things in my order.
Let’s just say that if I can avoid returning, I absolutely will.

I stopped by Teri & Yaki to pick up dinner last night. My friend who I was «flying» for became very excited when I told her I was stopping here. Labeled as fast, fresh and healthy «comfort» food, it lives up to its reputation. I got the chicken combo plate which comes with an ample portion of chicken, rice (you pick white or brown) and noodles. I also got the garlic noodles for my side and the potsticker appetizers. All I can say is YUM! All good and a great dinner that was reasonably priced and fast. The chicken combo plate is $ 6.95 and the potstickers (½ order) are $ 3.75. Teri & Yaki beats the pants off of other restaurants that offer foods such as chicken bowls.

Came here for a quick healthy bite and left hungry and irritated. The employee that rang me up was dismissive and rude, the chicken was bad quality and not sure if it’s supposed to be like this but the broccoli and noodles were cold! Needless to say, I will not be back.

I mostly come here for the noodle soup, it’s great with ramen noodles, shredded chicken, cabbage, sprouts and a tasteful broth. I usually always call ahead when I order this because they cook the noodles fresh per order takes about 20 min. I also like their sides such as the garlic spinach, but they are often run out whenever I come. The teriyaki chicken is good and they are pretty generous with the portion of the chicken.

Love the food, but whomever takes orders off of the phone clearly hates his job. I order, he repeats, it’s all good, husband picks up order, no name, wrong order. And ultimately pissed me off, bc I had to wait til I got my little down before I could eat, finally get to it and g’s wrong! Nothing worse than being a hangry mama of a 2 year old! Extremely disappointed!

Standard chicken or beef teriyaki served with brown/​white rice, noodles and a side like broccoli, kimchee or sweetened potatoes. Very busy during the work week, ghost town on the weekend. Plenty of parking in the lot, but busier during peak times.

Food here is pretty good Korean food made fresh. Apparently, you can get what looks like a FAMILY PACK here for about $ 7. You have choices of garden salads, and variations of kimchee and cabbage dishes. Most of the diners were feasting on plates large enough to feed a family, but that is not what my order looked like (for some reason). I ordered a combination plate that looked like a kids meal. Another gentleman sitting near me ordered the same combination plate and when it arrived, it looked like a family pack. Go figure. It probably helps to look like a potential employer, otherwise you’ll be cheated.

Co worker told me to check this place out and I was skeptical after reading the reviews…
This place is about 2 blocks from my work so I walked there. …gotta admit the food was surprisingly great! I went on a Wednesday and they have a $ 5 bowl special that comes with chicken rice and noodles… I literally got my lunch within 2 min lol… definitely a bargain! I would recommend this place for a quick lunch… guess I found a new spot for lunch :)
P. S. would be cool if they made the place a little nicer to attract more guest.

3 stars seems about right.
TL:DR — reasonable price, not the best chicken around but decent for a quick lunch.
I really like chicken teriyaki, especially when it’s done right. Teri & Yaki seems to have a decent marinade for their chicken, but overall quality control is where they are lacking. I’ve stopped by every few weeks whenever I have a bit of a craving and two times so far my orders (to dine in) have been lost, leaving me waiting for 20 min or more. I can be pretty patient when I see that they are busy but if I see 3 people who came after me get their food… come on now…
The chicken itself tends to be a bit more on the charred, over cooked side. I would definitely prefer over cooked than under, but basically they have some room for improvement here. All of their side dishes are basically rejects from a Korean restaurant but still passable.

Came here the other day after my boyfriend got off work. I had just got off work too so I was pretty hungry. It was probably around 2ish, and I was like, okay, let’s get some food. This is probably one of the few times where my stomach just said, okay Melody, I got this. I’ll lead the way. And without even consulting Unilocal,I took a leap of faith and came here. And you know what, it was freaking delicious.
So I believe on Saturday and some other random day like Tuesday or Wednesday, they have a five dolla chicken bowl. Good thick pieces of chicken, good rice, and good chow mein. I also ordered a side of potstickers and it was pretty legit. The potstickers aren’t wrapped in your conventional thin doughy skin – it was more like an egg roll shaped like a potsticker, if you know what I mean.
I loved it. I thought it was delicious. Some guy came in to order 50 of them while I was sitting there eating my food. And it was cheap! I’m all about cheap, good eats! :)

It’s kind of a fast-​food place, but head and shoulders above, say, a Panda.
I didn’t want noodles. Asked for rice. They did fine. Thanks! Didn’t know that brown rice was an option until I read some of these reviews. I would have liked to have ordered that. Oh well.
They are not bend-​over-​backwards on service or cleanliness.
This place seems to be a magnet for breeders. In the few minutes I tried to eat there, I was barraged with no less than 14 toddlers and pre-​schoolers. Yes, I counted. The sound alone was enough to make me flee. I don’t know if this is a normal thing, but I didn’t have the patience nor the ear drums to deal with it, so I took my food on the road.
Also, when you order to go, it is kind of understood that you’ll need silly things like forks. Napkins, maybe. I had to ask. She brought me those and some teriyaki and and rooster sauce. It was only then that I realized that there was NO SAUCE at all on the food. I guess it’s good that I packed up and ran only after trying to eat the to-​go order in-​house first. If I had truly taken it to-​go, I’d be sauceless, forkless, and messy.
They get the stars they do because it was quite tasty and the portions were worth the price. They just need to work on customer service and packing to-​go orders. If I lived locally, I wouldn’t return. Since I don’t, it doesn’t matter.

Soup is good, however I feel the description on the menu «chicken and veggies is rather misleading. The only veggie in there is cabbage. It does have the right amount of spicy and the potion is in my opinion very generous.
The chicken,… Where is it? I found like 5 little strands. It should be called a spicy cabbage soup, I’d still buy it but not under false pretenses.
I love a soup to warm the heart.

Best chicken in town, hands down!!! Their white chicken with brown rice is my absolutely fav! Healthy, quick & affordable lunch… in the past monty, I’ve lost a couple of pounds, thanks to lunch 2−3x a week here. Also, the chef is great! He makes the best chicken bowls and i’m always so very thankful for his service… Love it !!!

Dear Teri & Yaki,
I really like your food, I do, BUT I would really appreciate it if you didn’t mess up my orders everytime! Today I went in for the chicken bowl special, I asked for all noodles, the cashier said noodles and rice? No just noodles! He said Ok and the guy who prepares the food saw me and said hi, I figured he recognized me or so I thought because he messed up my order the other day and I told him I just wanted noodles! Anyways feeling positive this time I didn’t check my food, I get back to the office and guess what?! Its freaking wrong! And to top it off its freaking brown rice and noodles… white rice.OK. I can live with that, but brown rice I don’t really like. So I’m sitting here not enjoying my lunch. Ugh. So strike one was giving me broccoli instead of spicy cucumber I swear I said it twice, strike two, giving me rice and noodles, strike three giving me noodles and brown rice even after I specifially said just noodles and got charged extra for brown rice.
I don’t know Teri. I don’t feel I should have to double check my order every time I come. I mean c’mon now how hard is it? Everything is pretty much pre-​made! Scoop noodles, cut chicken, scoop sides.

Great for lunch if you are balling on a budget! I’ve been coming here for years and I have no complaints. $ 4 Chicken Bowls (rice, noodles & chicken) are served every Wednesday. It gets pretty busy around lunch hour, especially on a Wednesday, so be prepared for a short wait. During the week I only have a half hour lunch break and I haven’t had a problem with timing yet. Although I do cut it pretty close, but the $ 4 chicken bowls are worth the wait! Overall a great lunch spot with friendly and efficient staff.

I like Teri & Yaki. They cater to to our events and are ALWAYS on time (just make sure that you confirm it with them… as you should with all catering). They have really good teriyaki chicken. Maybe it’s just the sauce. But I could swear that the chicken is tender too. About 3 of our guest thought the chicken was burned… but everyone else thought it was absolutely great! If their catering is yummy, I definitely want to come and try the food AT the restaurant.

Chinese Chicken Salad, White Meat Chicken w/​noodles & rice. Amazing.

Decent chicken teriyaki here.
Banchan was surprisingly decent. Rice was hard, like it had been sitting in the cooker for too long (mind you it was only 12PM when we got to the restaurant).
The parking lot is a bit of a mess & can be difficult to find a spot.

the food is delicious, order it without MSG. The only problem I have had is with the management. He has charged me for more than I have ordered when I was with my grandfather, and has charged my mother for food she wanted but not provided everything she asked for.
Great food, needs better management.

Despite a lot of negative reviews, I actually like Teri & Yaki. I come here maybe once or twice a month and can say that the food here is relatively consistent. I order the single chicken combo with brown rice and broccoli. The sign outside says «when you want to eat healthy», however the chicken is thigh meat so it’s not as healthy as it claims (being dark meat and all). It’s still very enjoyable though. They have 3 big bottles of sriracha available for you to use in the condiments section, which I feel complements the chicken a lot better than the sweet teriyaki sauce that comes with the combo.
Service is pretty quick. You basically order your food and they’ll give you a number. You can sit anywhere you want and they’ll being the food out to you. The place is pretty big so I’ve never had any problems finding a table to sit. They accept credit cards here (unlike L&L next door –_​_​-​). Parking can suck during the busy lunch hour. There’s also a design flaw in the parking lot. It’s very narrow and I’ve seen so many people run over the curb trying to exit!
Tip: It’s not on the menu, but you can substitute the white rice for brown. A healthier alternative goes a long way!
