Teriyaki House — Restaurant in San Dimas

Weighted score, 5.1, explanation below. So, this is a very earnest food establishment. The shop gives off a vibe that the staff have a strong desire to please with their product. The furnishings and decor are nice, dated, such that you feel you are in the 90's or 00's, which isn't bad here as it is clean and in good shape. Environment inside cuts out the outside in a good way, could easily spend a few hours with company and not realize how much time had passed outside. Food is very good. Though I like my teriyaki chicken with slightly more salt and garlic, but was just fine, some would likely appreciate it more as is anyway. Macaroni salad was great. House made thousand island dressing, was fine. Picked ginger and cabbage were good. This meal was all around very good, felt like going to someone's home for a meal. Last bit that put it over the top for intent to please (weighted addition), they give an individually wrapped wafer in a plastic bag sealed with a thank you sticker. I can't think of another food location that has gone to such lengths to please, amazing, got .5 added to overall score. Will come again, will bring others, anytime want teriyaki am coming here, best teriyaki plate that I know of in So. Cal., cannot recommend enough. Thank you for the...

Really torn on score at this place, but rounding up for reasons I will lay out.

Food taste and quality is what I would expect from a fast casual teriyaki restaurant. Not the best I’ve ever had, but very good. 4 stars.

Things get better from here. Called in my order since my lunch was short today. Was an easy process, fast and friendly.

Arrived shortly after and food was ready to go. Nice lady and everyone greeted you when you walk in. So I get home and open the order. They don’t miss a thing here. I ordered the chicken and beef teriyaki, side shrimp and miso soup. The condiments are what really got me. Pickled cabbage, cucumbers, pickled yellow daikon joust to name a few. I usually alway order hot sauce, but didn’t this time because with have it at home, but they packed that too. Side of teriyaki and cocktail sauce rounded out all the sides. Very rare to get that level of condiments without even asking.

Definitely will be returning when I have the...

Small hole in the wall mom&pop place but so incredibly delicious. They make bento boxes, spam musubi, burgers, teriyaki chicken plates, yakisoba, the list goes on and on. Been here as a local many times over the years and their quality has never faltered a bit! Grateful to have gems like this still around, you never know how precious a spot could be until its gone! Give this place all the love, they absolutely deserve it! Super warm and friendly spot, with a lot of soft drinks to offer if you’re eating inside or doing take out. You can call ahead to order as well that’s usually what I do. Prices have gone up slightly over the years but I’ll happily remain a customer of theirs because the quality of food has remained the same! Love this little...
