Original J's Teriyaki — Restaurant in East Wenatchee

Plenty of seating in this small teriyaki joint. Place your order at the counter, fill your drink, and find a table or counter where they bring your food to you.

Service was great. The cashier was personable and fast. The food came out in under 5 minutes.

The chicken teriyaki and egg roll combo was the special of the day at 10.99, and I'd pay that again for the portion and taste. The chicken was a little tough but not unbearably so. The teriyaki sauce was slightly too salty with less sweet than I prefer, and I am a fan of salt. I'd recommend getting spicy teriyaki to curb the overreaching salinity with a little heat.

The rice was typical of any teriyaki restaurant you'll find in the PNW. Soft, sticky, willing to absorb any sauce that finds its way off the chicken.

Egg roll was crispy and, when paired with the sweet sauce it came with, I can't find a fault to it. It was what I'd expect for the price.

Salad/slaw was underwhelming and I wish I had requested to leave it off the plate. It was thrown away at the end of the meal.

All things considered, I could see coming back here if I was really jonesing for some teriyaki and wanted it fast for prices that...

Recommended by five coworkers... and right on par with the rest of the food in this town: cheap, inedible garbage put together and cooked by talentless hacks who just don't care. Ordered: Pot Stickers. Received: Fried, burnt, grey, flavorless droppings of horse meat. Ordered: Beef & chicken Combo Plate Received: Brown strips of cardboard (the restaurant calls it "beef"), with zero seasoning, yellow, flavorless bark strips (the restaurant calls it "chicken"), a side of disgustingly salted brown fecal juice (I think this is what they call "teriyaki sauce"), some pungent, sour, vile, decaying strips of what I assume was once cabbage, and old, overcooked clumps of dirt tasting pods they call "rice". I wouldn't feed this to the raccoon that claws around the dumpster. This entire town is riddled with restaurants that simply don't care about food standards, and patrons that seemingly don't...

I bought a super teriyaki (beef, chicken and pork) that also came with a salad and rice. The salad was mostly cabbage and had a sour dressing. It was disgusting, took two bites and through the rest away! All the meat was dry and not even close to being average for a teriyaki place. The beef was so chewy I gave it to the dogs and suffered through the chicken and pork. For $14 bucks you would expect a decent portion but the good portion I thought I had was just rice underneath. I ate some of the rice so the picture is not showing all the rice! Never going back! This is a typical small town rip-off with bad food!!! The deep fired egg rolls were put into the box too soon and steamed themselves to being soft. I ran out of sweet and sour sauce about half way through. Funny they offered to sell me more sweet and sour sauce but I declined as they should have enough sauce to go...
