NeoTsai Grill Teriyaki — Restaurant in Huntington Beach

What happened to this place, the food use to be good and now it's just bad. I ordered 2 chicken and steak plates and unfortunately it tasted as I was eating yesterdays left overs just heated back up. Both the chicken and steak but mainly the steak was extremely dry and tough and the best description I can give you about what our food was like was as if we were served/eating meat directly out of a package of teriyaki jerky that was just warmed up and served on rice.

Also what is up with the hours of this place?¿?¿? They are only open Monday – Friday 11:00am-6:00pm and are closed on the weekend. Unfortunately with how bad my food was and the lack of operating hours this place is actually open for I can't see them lasting here much longer, especially once summer comes around and they will no longer have the same amount of customers coming in from all of the hungry kids walking/driving over across the street from Marina High School while on their lunch break or after they get out of school for the day because most people will be at work or driving home from work when this place is actually open and for whatever reason they are closed when the majority of adults would be spending the most amount of money I.E. dinner on week nights or anytime on the weekends when more people would be together for a meal which translates to the more mouths that eat=a higher...

I was compelled to write this review after running into this store by happenstance. I needed to get my tires replaced and I was planning on going by King's pizza for a sandwich (which is also very excellent), but I walked by this place and was attracted to simple menu and saw that it had high ratings from Yelp. I decided to give it a try. I ordered the standard chicken teriyaki will steamed veggies and white rice. So no big deal, right? Well, it's an ordinary dish executed flawlessly. The veggies were steamed a perfect amount of time. Perfect crispness but clearly not over or under done. The chicken. Was also very well done - not overcooked liked most teriyaki chicken - done just perfectly. Even the rice was cooed to perfection. Usually you get overdone rice at most places and pretty dry by the time it gets to you. Theirs was just perfect, moist and correctly done. Congratulations on perfect execution of everything I ordered. I'm definitely coming back here. By the way, this is a very deceptive hole in the wall place that serves...

My daughter and I have been on a teriyaki spree during our trip, so we decided to give this place a try. The online menu doesn't show everything they offer. Besides the usual chicken and beef teriyaki bowls and plates, they also have wraps, salads, and quesadillas. You can also get brunch/breakfast items like waffles, crepes, pancakes, and smoothies. A very wide range of options. The shrimp options are crossed off the menu in the store.

The lady behind the counter was super nice and patient as I couldn't decide what I wanted. My daughter got a chicken wrap, and I got a half-and-half beef and chicken teriyaki bowl. The meat was well-cooked (the beef was not chewy but very tender), but the teriyaki sauce is served on the side or on top of the meat, not seared and marinated in it. It was good but not as good as some other teriyaki places we visited, and the price was the same.

The store was very clean, and everything was made to order. There is a small seating area outside. We would eat here again if we didn't have...
