Teriyaki Experience — Restaurant in Toronto

Date visited : July 7, 2018 Happened to be craving some quick Japanese food and my wife and I happened to be in the area. We wanted to grab a bite before going to Saturday afternoon Mass.

It has been a long time since I have been to Teriyaki Experience. It seems that they have made some major changes to the menu along with pricing.

My wife had opted for a Shrimp Teriyaki w/bean sprouts & I went for Tofu Teriyaki w/bean sprouts.

I still really enjoy their Teriyaki sauce, except they now have a low sodium option which I didn't realize until after we had ordered. Tho, they don't have the low-sodium teriyaki sauce available in self-serve bottle for the customers, you have to request it apparently.

Now, don't get me wrong, the food was good. However the value to portioning ratio I find unfair.

Both our dishes, the Shrimp Teriyaki and Tofu Teriyaki were both $9.00 before taxes. Okay the Shrimp is kinda on the pricey side so I can understand that but a tofu dish for $9 bux?! Even the portioning for the rice on our dishes was smaller than what they used to offer even 4 year ago. In my opinion, a Tofu dish should not be valued the same as a Shrimp/Beef/Chicken dish.

There are not many value-oriented options for those who are on a budget at this resto. Other places Tofu option or a Veggie option would be the most affordable choice..but not at Teriyaki Experience.

Based on what we saw on that day, we can make the dishes ourselves, since we have also been experimenting with Teriyaki sauce at home. Just have to get the texture of the Tofu right and we are set. Speaking of sauce, they offer Teriyaki Experience sauces for sale in bottles for like $5 + HST.

Likely not to return based on the value of the dishes for price paid.

For those of you that may have read my other reviews, I manage gout, so I couldn't get all the standard veggies offered, since they use cabbage and cabbage has a moderate...

Went for the first time today… in my 27 years of life I have never had more old dry and stale chicken. I had to make my sister and brother in law try it to make sure I wasn’t insane, they were appalled. I don’t know how long these items have been refrigerated but honestly from the taste it seems like weeks. The cook told me customers never complain and he’s been cooking for 20 years. He did replace my chicken with beef which was kind (after basically saying I was crazy and just needed more sauce) and the beef was also super dry. 20$ I just wanted a refund because now I have two meals going straight into the bin. Inedible it was like eating sand, even the meat in the dumplings is stale. To the people eating here are we just having a different teriyaki experience? I really usually do not complain but it was very very very, very bad. I’m bringing my food back tomorrow and getting a refund because honestly...

Food poisoning. Beware. I refused to order here because I had a bad feeling. I went to Mr Sub next door while my wife ordered a chicken teriyaki bowl with noodles. I saw it and thought it was a bit tiny for the price but it looked good. I tasted it. One bite. We both found it very bland but not terrible going down. Coming out was another story. I don't think it was contaminated food from their suppliers but rather the cleaning practices at this location. One you get food poisoning somewhere you never go back. You can't trust the staff to suddenly be cleaner unless they replace all the staff people. That won't happen. I don't...
