| - My boyfriend dragged me to this place after a friends recommendation. I'm picky. And I don't like sushi. Reluctantly, I agreed.
I assumed this place would be like Samurai Sam's after seeing the Yelp pictures. I was wrong.
Since I was already wrong, and my boyfriends friend said she always got the chicken/beef teriyaki bowl, I figured I must go with that choice. Let's do it.
Then I see that they have spicy teriyaki sauce. I'm a sucker for anything spicy. Make that shit as spicy as you can.
The super upbeat and friendly staff (order-taker and cook) directed us to the condiment station that had one of those new fancy 100000+ combo coke machines, and told us they had free extra teriyaki sauce in the ketchup-style pump thing. I grabbed one, and didn't even need to use it.
The chicken was nice and crispy, juicy, and flavorful. I was actually shocked at how good it was. This is the best teriyaki chicken I have had at any restaurant.
The beef was good. Wasn't as good as the chicken though. The chicken stole the show. Beef was a little too thin after being spoiled by the perfectly prepared chicken.
I had egg rolls, they were standard (like panda express type) and delicious. Remember, I'm picky, I like simple things.
My boyfriend had the California rolls and ate every bite. He's as picky as me (if not worse) but grew up in Hawaii so has a slight different preference in taste as I do (an AZ native who doesn't eat any seafood).
I loved this place. I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality, the attitude from the young man taking orders & the woman who seemed to be cooking/delivering your food, and cleanliness of this restaurant. I will be returning. Thank you
PS: They don't serve alcohol, but I wish they did so I could make this a happy hour/weeknight destination to hang out with friends!
