First time visiting this place, and truly enjoyed it. The staff and people were very friendly and welcoming, the customer service was great. We ordered and were taken care of quickly and they had all of our orders out together for our group, which I thought was nice that everyone got their food at the same time considering we all ordered and checked out separately. For the food, I loved it. The portions were plenty. Got the teriyaki chicken with fried rice and it came with a small side salad too. The quality of the food, the flavor were all great to me. The food was cooked fresh and the chicken that was grilled was definitely left to rest properly before they cut it up, as it was tender and juicy. As for the prices, the prices are more than fair. I saw one or two people complain about that in their reviews, and I think they’re foolish for that. The costs for the food industry has gone through the roof at this point and it is something everyone is dealing with. To expect a restaurant to keep pre inflation pricing and take a loss is just silly. I paid about the same or less here than I do at chipotle, Chick-fil-A, and cava. You’ll get your moneys worth and I’ll definitely be back.
Great spot for a delicious lunch. Plenty of fresh food at a value price. Lunch was made to order.
One of my favorites in Stafford I love the yakisoba and gyoza
I found this place when I first moved to Stafford about 6 years ago, and the food was amazing. I stopped once a week and get food for the whole family, the Teriyaki chicken sauce is awesome, the chicken katsu is great. Highly recommended.
We've been getting food here for several years now, and it's one of our favorite places in Stafford. Fresh, delicious teriyaki, priced reasonably and served in generous portions. The spicy chicken teriyaki and chicken yakisoba are our go-tos. Never disappointed. EDIT June 2025: I still luv teriyaki! This place rocks as much as ever. Great food at great prices.
The owners are always kind. My husband and I moved away and as soon as we came back to visit we landed and headed here for lunch. He was so excited to see us and remembered our order.
Very good. Just arrived here and asked for a food recommendation. My buddy listed this one first. We quite enjoyed it. Decently priced. Well portioned. I had the beef teriyaki with fried rice. I liked it. The store has some unique insight and history for their business inside. Definitely recommend taking 5 to 10 minutes to look around the inside of the store. Food was made to order and was done very quickly and efficiently. No shortcuts were taken.
I have always enjoyed eating here. I wish there was a little more food for the price but I can’t help it. I Luv Teriyaki. Update: I’m not kidding when I say I will drive all the way from out of town to eat at this place. Something about their teriyaki sauce gets me. I will always support them when I can.
