I have been coming here for years 25 maybe 30 years and we come multiple times per week. Recently they started charging extra for the teriyaki sauce. I thought I ordered chicken teriyaki. That would require teriyaki sauce. The pour maybe an ounce of it on a huge portion of chicken. To get enough sauce to drown out the plain chicken taste it costs you $4 extra and they give it to you in little tiny plastic containers which is horrible for the environment! Just use your ladle and pour the appropriate and necessary amount of sauce on the plain chicken to make it chicken teriyaki. The service at the counter has gone from lovely to outright rude within 20 days. We drive all the way from Bonita to eat here and it is the principle of the issue not the actual cost. Raise the price by a $1 and do the environment a favor by not contributing to the plastic pollution. This is bad business all the way around. Rude to longtime customers, charge more to actually make your product what you advertise it to be (chicken teriyaki not chicken without sauce) and add to the waste to our planet...
Read moreIf rating the food and price it'd be 5 stars. The amount if food they give you is excellent. Its hard to pick 1 item but obviously the teriyaki chicken is whats its known for.
However I had to knock it down a couple due to the poor customer service. We received our food 20 minutes before close. Wasnt asked if it was "to go or here "but automatically given a to-go box. We sat down to eat anyway. However within 5 minutes of us eating the caucassian woman cashier said "we closing up!" Really rude to rush us out like that when its 15 mins before close-Just because you want to go home asap. Another thing that was lazy and rude was she wouldnt even walk 5 feet to bring us food at table when there was no other customers. She yells food ready so we have to get up from table and get it from counter. She seemed like she hated her job and didnt want to be there. No thank you or have...
Read moreThis is a LOCAL secret favorite. It's not a 5 star restaurant or some kind of world famous food place. I've been going here for 15 years even while I have moved all around San Diego. When I'm in the area of the beach or point Loma I stop by and get a plate of either teriyaki chicken(the most popular) or beef teriyaki with all rice as a side. The chicken is cooked over a wood fire, it is pulled apart and the sauce is added on the side so you could have more or less sauce. It's a big portion of food so you can share just one order. They do have other stuff on the menu like a half chicken and Chinese food stuff but I always order the same thing. It's a different experience so don't expect everyone to like it but they have a large fan base of the teriyaki. You can dine in but it's a small...
