Read moreReally satisfied with our visit to Teriyaki One in East Rutherford! The service at the counter was friendly and helpful, and the ordering process was quick and easy. After ordering, you move over to the food prep area where you can see everything being freshly made — which is always a good sign.
We ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Special (with noodles and no vegetables), Shrimp Teriyaki with steamed rice and vegetables, Angry Dragon Roll, The One Roll, and a can of soda. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and nicely prepared.
