Teriyaki To Go | Foothill Junction — Restaurant in Roseville

Buckle in because this review is one of the most passionate I have ever written. To sum it up, do not purchase food here. I have no idea why there are so many 5 star reviews and why there were like 10 people in this place when I picked up my order. I paid $17.70 for a chicken rice bowl, a beef rice bowl, a side of rice, and a side of miso.

Pros: The transaction process was good and the elderly man who served me was very pleasant. The bathroom was clean and the menu is focused and simple.

Cons: The quality of the food was abysmal. The beef was a poor cut with a poor texture and frozen flavor. The chicken was ok, but not nearly the quality of a $7 bowl. The sauce was the absolutely worst part: it looks, tastes, and smells like Thanksgiving-style beef gravy. It was poured heavily on the top of both rice bowls and ruined my evening. I swear that if I were to be sentenced to prison, this gravy would be a staple of most meals. The rice was the only redeeming part of the rice bowl, and even then it was mediocre. As hungry as my pregnant wife and I were, we did not finish either bowl and she refused hers after one bite. The miso was like someone sprinkled 1/2 the recommended packet of $0.05 miso soup mix into the vat of hot water and didn't even bother to mix it. Zero flavor and no texture, even though there was technically tofu in the takeout bowl I was given. On top of all that, the only spicy sauce offered is a bottle of Sriracha: usually there are more options including Thai-style chili sauce.

Conclusion: I cannot not recommend this place more. Please, for the love of all that is holy: do not eat here. Let it go and maybe either the ownership will change up their menu or someone else will move in and do it right. It's not worth your dollar and not worth trying, trust me.

If the ownership of this establishment is reading this, I'm sorry that I have to communicate this but the quality of your food needs to be brought up to speed. You seem like nice people in the store, and with the right product set, you can become a mainstay in this neighborhood.

Edit: grammar and forgot to mention lack...

Not the same owners as a few years back, as the original owners retired. This place used to be the best and affordable. I wouldn’t go anywhere else actually but now…. I hate to say this but it’s absolutely awful. The sauce tastes sour and really gross, killed my stomach. The chicken was chewy and odd tasting I couldn’t even finish 1/3 of it. Gave the rest to my parents who both couldn’t eat it either. I’m not sure what they’ve done but they should not have changed the recipe. I hate leaving a bad review as I know reviews okay a huge part in the success of a business but I just feel you should go to any other place especially since it’s no fun to...

I give it five stars ! I'm glad I didn't let the low stars keep me away . The lady that took my order was very kind and offered me a sample of the homemade teriyaki , which was delicious. I did a to go order . Everything was packaged perfect . I got the shrimp / veggi noodle , and it was fresh seasoned perfectly . She added sesame.on top after she asked . I also ordered their Won Ton soup. The broth was separate to go , and the wonton and other toppings were in a separate container . The ambiance was very casual and tables were wiped clean...
