Mr. Teriyaki — Restaurant in Ellensburg

Edit: This round we pretty much ordered the same thing. The white rice is like glue. The chicken is end pieces & hard. The sauce sticks to the roof of my mouth? My daughter’s veggie rice is great but something is way off with my chicken & rice. I don’t know what’s in the teriyaki, but it’s not the same & it’s terrible. Maybe a new cook who doesn’t care? We had DoorDash pick up for us. I was leery, last time that I ordered teriyaki elsewhere, it was a TINY amount for a HIGH price. This was nearly $50 with delivery, but my daughter & I received enough {fresh} food to last us a few meals a piece! It was absolutely worth it & delicious! There’s nothing that I would change about our meals. Arrived late because it was delivered elsewhere, but it was still good! We’ll definitely be return customers. The vegetarian rice is amazing & so is the white meat chicken & rice....

Was excited to check out a new restaurant in Ellensburg, and left disappointed. Ordered the Gyoza, Beef Rice bowl, and my partner had the Chicken Katsu (which came with Chicken Teriyaki as well).

The rice had the texture like it had been sitting in the rice cooker for hours, just bland mush. The beef and chicken teriyaki tasted of liquid smoke and not much else, and had quite the odd texture to it. The only good food we had were the Gyoza, which were overpriced.

The inside was dark, unpleasant, and frankly seemed unclean. Large number of flies, and the tables were unpleasantly sticky, which we had hoped was due to some odd cleaner.

Do yourself a favor and skip Mr. Teriyaki for dinner, and find somewhere else in Ellensburg. It's just not worth the over...

I’d rather not eat out than eat here.

I wanted to like Mr. Teriyaki but both our orders were borderline inedible.

My partner got chicken teriyaki. The consistency and flavors of the chicken were off. There was no char and the chicken had the texture you’d expect of boiled chicken that was stir-fried afterward.

The Kung Pao chicken tasted like chili and Mexican spices. I suspect they’re using a Mexican hot sauce brand to add heat to spicy orders, not realizing that throws off the flavor profile for this Asian dish The veggies were also overcooked and had the consistency of worms.

I had hoped to discover my new favorite local Asian restaurant... Now I just have another...
