| - I'm a fan of this place. Quick fast service, same staff and friendly faces that greet you by name once they get to know you and you can totally see that with all their regular customers, fresh and made when ordered good quality food!
I've been coming to Teriyaki House since I first moved to the Valley in 2003. Same management still to this day. And the quality of food has never changed over the years.
Because of the location (business plaza next to subway and coffee bean on south end of Rainbow before you get to 215 and arroyo plaza) this plaza is packed during the office lunch hours... They do lots of to go orders and have lots of people in and out during lunch breaks, so their quick and speedy service is definitely a best plus and a great quality they have.
The place is small, not restaurant size at all. But the quality of food and service is so constant I have a hard time not wanting to come back.
I always go for the tempura combination bento box which includes 2shrimp tempuras onion ring potato sweet potato and broccoli tempura. Along with that is a salad with light soy sauce dressing, pickled shredded cabbage, bowl of rice and your choice of #1-7 meat choices. All comes out to $9.39 with tax. Can't beat the prices and I leave stuffed every time! I always either go with Katsu chicken or Thai chicken as my meat option. Food is not too salty and I love how it's fried when ordered. But it's nothing mind blowing. Similar to chicken or Chinese food at the mall.
They offer lunch specials of the day for a little over $7 with tax, they have huge serving of noodle bowls and they cook to order which I find good quality in.
So why only 3stars? Well, it's not mind blowing food first of all, it's great lunch option or even quick dinner option, but that's what it is... Good quick eats. Nothing date worthy unless it's casual business or hanging out quick eats option. #2 I've watched them clean up after people leave and not saying they don't clean up... Coz they do, but not matter how many times I come... The tables are always sticky. Its a pet peeve of mine sticky tables. #3 the decor of the place is plain jane. It's like it makes me wanna eat alone and like I been saying just grab a quick great quality meal by myself. But if someone asked me hey let's grab food... Teriyaki House would NOT come to mind coz it's just so simple, wouldn't want to waste time grubbing with a friend there. Does that make sense...
But hey I'm still a fan and I will always be back for my tempura combo bento box but probably only by myself
