I've been looking for a good teriyaki chicken place and this is pretty good. Just the right amount of sauce and thick enough to stick to the chicken. The chicken was a little charred for my liking but it was still tender.

I've been a customer on and off for a few years. Great teriyaki chicken! I love coming here on my lunch break. Wonderful atmosphere, family owned and excellent food. It is counter service. Also, the plants and piano ballads are kind of their trademark.

The restaurant has a relaxing vibe. I love all the green, plants, and fountain inside! But of course the service and food was really good too. The hot sauce tiny container was just not enough for me and was hoping it was bigger and spicy. But other than that definitely coming back. Thank you!

Hands down the best asian restaurant in AZ. Me and my family have been going here since i was kid and the owners are incredibly nice. If you want great food with a good vibe and even better people then come here.

My lady found this place on Google maps. First impression was just wow the amount of plants in the lobby was insane. Really quite the sight. I was greeted by a younger gentleman who was super polite even with it being near closing time. Spent my time roaming around the lobby in shear awe of all the plants. Got our food to go and got back to our place to eat and definitely not disappointed. Ordered the bento box prices are really reasonable and portions are good. The egg drop soup was top notch. The egg roll was pretty good. The crab Rangoon was quite yummy. The house chicken was really good same with the teriyaki. Will DEFINITELY be back. I can see why Covid didn't put this place out of business. This place definitely left me impressed. ( the only thing I would add to the atmosphere would be a 20 long with a female betta sorority.)

Been coming here with my family for my whole entire life. The food is always as good as it gets! I recommend the Yakisoba to anyone. The ambiance is very calming too, and nothing has ever changed that I can recall! The staff is amazingly friendly too! Come and eat here as soon as you can!

This place has been here for like 25 years or something. I've moved twice and moved back and each time expected this place to close(not because it's bad but because that's what happens to small food places unfortunately) but to my surprise it's still open. Amazing food and the atmosphere is nice to dine in. I promise you'll love this place.

Food was horrible and nobody in my family could even stomach it. I asked for a refund and got half my money back at least. Nasty chicken and after hearing the microwave ding, I was about sick. Something smelled weird and I think it was the rubber chicken. There's 800 printouts of their A rating that has to be false and a million moldy plants taking up all the tables. We looked in the alley after we left to make sure there wasn't a box of kittens needing rescued.

A friend recommended that I try this place. So I met someone here for a late lunch on a weekday and decided to dine in since I had some time to kill before my next meeting. When you walk inside, there is plants everywhere, floor, tables, wall, all ove. Different, but kind of serene. However, There was a very odd, pungent odor when i walked in, kind of like sewage mixed with cleaning chemicals. I ordered the small teriyaki bowl and a bottle of water. The bowl Came with chicken, teriyaki sauce, white rice. I sat down to eat, and the chicken had a burnt taste, Not a charbroil taste, but actually burnt. I only had two spoonfuls before I just decided to not eat anymore. My friend and I sat there and talked for about 30 until I started coughing and decided to leave for fresh air. Upon leaving, I had a burning sensation in my nose that lasted for an additional 30 minutes after I left.

I was in the area and was craving some quickJapanese food. I've passed by this place many many times and only recently decided to stop by and check it out. I'm really glad I did.It's a very welcoming place with a lot of greenery inside. I ordered the recommended teriyaki chicken bowl and crab puffs and devoured them both, it was so delicious! Great food with great service, I will definitely be ordering again soon!
Not what it used to be at all. The food quality went down hill. Twice in a row now the chicken smelled bad. It feels like the whole place hasnt been cleaned in months. Even the disposable foam cups were sticky from some food splatters. Very dissapointing.

This food tasted like it was 3 or 4 days old. Really really bad, I wish I didn't go here, I didn't even eat my food. I feel like they have fake reviews, no way anyone would rate this place higher than 2 stars.

I always past by this restaurant and finally decided to try it out. First off the atmosphere was really cool, from the various waterfalls around the place and the mini samurai armor it was really cool in there. But on to the food, it was really good. I expected the orange sauce to be a bit sweeter but it wasn't, it didn't take anything away from the tenderness of the beef. The rice was hot and very fluffy. I'll definitely try this place again and maybe dine-in to truly soak in the views.

Legendary stable of the East Valley... Food has always been superb & dine-in atmosphere is like a zen-garden wonderland. Been going here my entire life do yourself a favor and enjoy! Try the hot chili sauce on the Teriyaki!!

It’s pretty standard Chinese-American quick service, done right. I’m fond of the tappan chicken bento.
