This was OK. I liked the Chicken Breast teriyaki and the portion was good. The Won Ton soup was another matter.
The chicken was tender and well prepared and the sauce was definitely on point. This is Washington and there are a lot of teriyaki places to choose from. This was above average so I'll say that I would definitely order it again. What I won't order again is the Won Ton. I love won ton soup and my wife makes it for me at home when she has time, which is nowhere near as often as I'd like but it's great when she does. The reason she doesn't have time very often is because it takes a lot of time to make the filling and then fold those little won ton noodle envelopes. We also grind our own pork for the filling which adds to the time. When I eat out, I usually expect something better than average since I'm paying for it. These guys clearly used frozen pot stickers to make theirs. A lot of places do this and some of them make some really good broth and add some great veggies which ends up being a solid product. These guys used some sort of fish cakes that made the whole thing taste fishy. I couldn't get a read on the broth because the fish flavor was overwhelming. I don't think I've had fish cakes in won ton anywhere else I've eaten and I will say I really didn't care for it at all. The veggies were OK but nothing exceptional. The froze pot stickers were really not very good. I think I can identify the brand because i bought them once at the Grocery Outlet and ended up pitching them.
Bottom line: Teriyaki yes! Soup No! The rest of it? Maybe I'll try some noodles next...
Read moreIt has been a while since I have been to teriyaki point here in Smokey Point again. I Thought about getting teriyaki for my pregnant wife and I so thought of teriyaki point. Wait time is good especially calling in for order and because of COVID. The issue is if they are starting to slack a little on the food. Ordered a spicy chicken teriyaki like I have been in the past was delicious in the past, but upon yesterday around the lunch time I ordered it, the rice had an off stench keep smelling like the water they use to steam the rice is bad, or simply the pot they use to steam the rice hasn’t been cleaned properly. Secondly, there have been significant amount of carbon on the chicken meat, probably a new person working behind the kitchen? My wife ordered a sweet and spicy chicken teriyaki w/fried rice, her dish was a lot better, not knowing if the rice was the same stench due to the add-ons they fried rice comes with. Overall “food experience” was ok on my end, for my wife it was good especially with her baby...
Read moreI love teriyaki. It's my go-to take-out food. I've tried many places through the years and unfortunately my favorite places tend to change ownership. When the places change owners, they usually tank in quality by changing recipes, using pre-frozen ingredients, giving smaller portions but raising prices, ect.
The teriyaki place by my house I'd been going to for years really tanked in quality, so I started looking around for better places. When I got a "sweet" Mongolian Beef with no peppers or onions, just a pitiful sauce that was the last straw.
I'm so glad I found this place. Firstly, the food is delicious. I've tried the Chicken Teriyaki, Kung Pao Chicken and the Mongolian Beef (made with peppers!) and they were all fresh and piping hot. The portions are generous and the price is fair.
The building is clean and the menus are large, easy to read with a nice variety of choices. They were moderately busy and I got my large order in a timely manner. This is...
