If you're going to try this place, get takeout (there are actually a few tables in there; but I don't know any link could stand to be in there more than a few minutes). As stated in other reviews, it's smoky and greasy in there because of the open kitchen and poor ventilation - so much so it's covering every surface. If you stay in there more than a couple of minutes, all your clothes will stink of restaurant grease. The food is OK. Not very flavorful. When I got home, I had to do it with my own teriyaki sauce out of the refrigerator. Portions are average as is the quality - expected better for the price. Nothing "Extreme" about this place other than the amount of grease and smoke in the air. There's better teriyaki grill places around. Only big positive - service was very quick, food ready fast, and the staff very friendly! read more

It's not fancy, a bit smoky and maybe dangerous, but it might do the job. Aside from the slippery floor and smoke in the air, this was all in all a satisfying experience. I ordered chicken & shrimp noodles which was a heaping portion of hot/fresh pleasure. I got a few pieces of beef in there too, which could mean others could got a little shrimp or chicken, in their lunch. Those with shell fish allergies, understand my concern. Otherwise, go off-peak and enjoy! read more

Free parking in a shopping plaza off of Howell Mill. I ordered the bento box with the teriyaki steak. It came out within ten minutes even though they were extremely crowded. The food was good and ample for the price. They would have received an additional star, but they need to improve on their ventilation system. While the food was good for the price point, I would probably not return due to smelling like food for the rest of the day. read more

Extreme Teriyaki Grill Express - Bento box - Japanese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

My co-worker told me about this place, so I went to check it out. They make the food to order in your face just like hibachi... they gave me so much I thought I had ordered a double order. Okay so the food was so delicious and I will be going back real soon. read more

It has been a few years since I had been here and I remember it being better. My biggest turnoff is that it is not very clean. The bathroom is disgusting. There is what appears to be mold growing on the wall near the commode and the ceiling tiles above were broken/caving in. It did not feel safe and the food tasted, okay. It was a bit bland with the notion of "just dump it in the sauce" was the vibe I got from them. Food was cheap enough. It was about $13 for a bento box meal with about 5-6 different items. I probably will not eat here again; I'm kidding, I will not eat here again. Do they clean the tables inside? I did not see anyone clean them after 3 people ate and left; others just sat down. No one came out to clean, but the staff did come out and sit down by their special seat near the trash can. You've been warned. Check the health score and then walk out anyway, no matter what it says. Yum Yum sauce, that's the name of the sauce I was referring to earlier but I am not going back up to edit the sentence so adding it here. Dip everything in Yum Yum sauce and everything tastes good (side-eye). I'm out of here. read more

The food is okay, but my order took over 2 hours to get here, so definitely not worth it. By the time I saw how long it would be delayed, I was told I couldn't cancel it anymore. Considering they are 15 minutes down the road from me, that's ridiculous. I'd say when I'm not longer housebound that I will go to the restaurant next time, but there's no shot I ever purchase from these guys again. read more

Extreme Teriyaki Grill Express is like mall food court hibachi, but slightly better in terms of taste, quality, and offerings. At the time of writing this review, there are seven locations in the Atlanta metro. These restaurants aren't located in traditional shopping malls, but instead in shopping centers. This location on Howell Mill opened in 2013 in The District at Howell Mill, next to I-75, next door to Starbucks. This is a small restaurant that's better suited for takeout than dine-in. They do have small tables to dine at if you feel so inclined. Other than that, this place is pretty much set up like your typical mall food court hibachi (e.g. Sarku Japan: https://bit.ly/2XHOZJ6) with open kitchen and teppan (metal plate) grill. Food is cooked to order so there is a short wait. Something that makes Extreme Teriyaki different is they offer simple sushi rolls like Philadelphia rolls (smoked salmon, cucumber, cream cheese) and spicy tuna rolls. During my visit, rolls were priced at $4.99-5.69 each. They also offer bento boxes ($8.29-9.89) featuring a meat, California roll, rice, and two sides. Sides include items like egg rolls, dumplings, shrimp tempura, miso soup, and edamame. Of course, the core of the business is the hibachi and teriyaki entrees. Protein selections consist of chicken (dark and white meat), beef, steak (ribeye), tofu, shrimp, and salmon. Entrees ranged in price from $6.69-9.99 each depending on meat type and amount. You can create meat combos of up to three different meats. All entrees come with rice (white, fried, brown) or noodles (there's a $0.99 upcharge each for brown rice, noodles) and mixed grilled veggies (broccoli, cabbage, carrots, zucchini). The staff pours teriyaki sauce over the entrees, if you choose, just before boxing them up. Yum. Here's what I ordered: Entrees/bento box: * Chicken hibachi with mushrooms, white rice, mixed veggies ($7.49 + $0.99 mushroom upgrade = $8.48) * Chicken teriyaki and beef teriyaki combo with noodles, mixed veggies ($8.99 + $0.99 noodle upgrade = $9.98) * Steak hibachi bento box with California roll (4 pieces), fried rice, seaweed salad, and crab rangoon ($9.89) Sides (a la carte): * Vegetable eggrolls (2 for $1.99) * Dumplings (6 for $3.99) * Shrimp tempura (3 for $4.29) In a nutshell, I thought the food was satisfyingly unhealthy. It's got a lot of salt, butter, and sugar. All the good stuff that's bad for you. It's the equivalent of Asian fast food or Asian junk food. If you know what to expect, then this place will hit the spot. Portion sizes are generous, so the value is decent and it helps keep people coming back. I enjoyed the chicken hibachi (breast meat), chicken teriyaki, and beef teriyaki about the same. The chicken hibachi meat was noticeably leaner than the chicken teriyaki meat, but both were generally soft and tender, as was the beef teriyaki meat. The teriyaki sauce helps, of course. Unsurprisingly, the meats weren't the best quality, but they were good enough. There's a self-serve condiment station at the counter. It has a large bottle of Sriracha along with individual packets of soy sauce, duck sauce, and spicy mustard along with salt and pepper. There are disposable chopsticks, silverware, napkins (the really cheap, thin kind), and toothpicks too. The only disappointing meat was the steak. On the menu, "steak" is described as 7 oz. ribeye. The server asked me how I would like mine cooked and he suggested well done. I told him I prefer my steaks rare or medium rare, but with this not being the highest-end steakhouse, I deferred to his recommendation. We mutually agreed medium well would work best. The steak came out looking great with a bit of beautiful red/pink in the center of some pieces. Unfortunately, the meat looked better than it tasted. The steak was dry and rubbery, but still edible. If you like mushrooms, I do recommend the $0.99 mushroom upgrade. It's worth it, I think. The white rice, fried rice, and noodles were about as good as I could expect. I wouldn't expect anything better than generic Chinese buffet or Americanized Chinese takeout quality. On the entrees, the amount of veggies was miniscule. As a fan of veggies, I wished there were more, but I understand the majority of their customers probably want a lot of meat and carbs. As for the sides, the California roll was bottom of the barrel. Not terrible, but I wouldn't want to eat any quality lower than that. The nearby Kroger probably sells better California rolls. The seaweed salad and crab rangoon were good/okay. I was actually impressed with the seaweed salad because it tasted fresh. Nice job to Extreme Teriyaki on that. The crab rangoon was par for the course. Not bad. I picked up the other sides off for my friend. She liked the shrimp tempura the best out of the trio, commenting that the batter was very crunchy unlike standard Japanese fare where the batter gets soggy fast. Also, she noticed very finely-grated ginger in the egg rolls. read more

Quick easy lunch. I called in my order and I was told it would be about 15 mins. That area is so congested and parking is difficult. Beware of the super speeders too. I couldn't even park my car. This guy was just about in my backseat. But the food was great and so was the service. I will be back, just will watch out for the drivers. Thanks Extreme. read more

Extreme Teriyaki Grill Express - Combo with shrimp and chicken - Japanese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place is basically mall food court hibachi. Portions and price were ok. Food is so-so. The bad part though is that the ENTIRE restaurant is covered in a coating of grease. I don't know if their grill hood isn't working or what, but I've never seen anything like it. The floor is slippery because of the grease. When I sat down to wait for my food, I noticed brown grease leaking down the walls!! The security camera on the wall was even brown. I have no idea how this passes inspection, but it makes the place look gross. Bottom line, I won't be back. read more

I love the food and the service but if you don't like steak and grease don't eat in there.

My first day I purchased 2 orders of California Rolls and 2 orders of veggie egg rolls that come in 2. I was impressed with the flavor of the spicy mayo sauce and how good the egg rolls were (1st & 2nd photo) so I decided that I would come back the next day and buy more (3rd & 4th photo). Unfortunately on my second visit I had 1 tray missing crabmeat and every one of those rolls fell apart once I grabbed them. They were stingy with the amount of spicy mayo in the cups to the point I had to go back and ask them to put more in the cups and STILL didn't have enough even after I offered to pay. When you walk in you can smell the grease so my guess is the grease needs to be changed. Customer service wasn't bad but it seems like when you have different people on duty you will get different quality. read more

This was one of the worst places I have ever been to for numerous reasons. I visited with my girlfriend, who, after we ordered, informed me that one of the chefs was staring, smiling, and WINKING at her. This set the tone off in a bad way, but this was only the beginning. The walls and ceiling are coated in brown liquid? The place is disgusting to say the least. We decided to eat elsewhere because the chef was continuously staring and making facial expressions at her. She told me that everytime I wasn't looking at him, he was staring directly at her. I caught him STARING at her rear end and talking to his coworkers whilst we exited. I began to say something, but decided it wasn't worth it. And to top the entire experience off, I was struck with an awful case of food poisoning. My girlfriend threw her entire plate away, so luckily she did not suffer the same fate as I did. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I love hibachi food but I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to even eat any hibachi ever again. Please, do not eat here. Especially if you are bringing your girlfriend. read more

First and last time here honestly. I wanted to go to a hibachi place simply craving noodles and since I never went to this place, I thought to give it a try. First time there, they forgot my noodles in my two plate order and I had to already be home to find out and be disappointed. I had to drive all the way back cause all I wanted was noodles! They gave me a side of noodles but it wasn't even enough to be called a portion. Thank you to the young girl in the front register for being attentive and apologizing for the mistake or I'd be still extremely upset. The other female worker didn't seem like she cared to give decent or any inkling of customer service. read more

Good food, hearty serving sizes and exceptional price. The hubby and I had this as our quick hibachi style go/to.

Quick, easy, and tasty food. The lot has plenty of parking. We got bento boxes with chicken teriyaki, dumplings, and chicken egg rolls. It also came with a few California rolls. Everything was decently tasty although really salty. The portions were good for the price as well. Good place to come to quickly and cheaply satisfy your hibachi cravings in the area. read more

They have forgotten to put my order of spring rolls in the bag the last 3 times we ordered from them. Unfortunately, my boyfriend has been the one picking up the orders and always forgets to check the bag before leaving. Without fail, each time, no spring rolls but they always remember to charge them to the bill. Once is forgivable but everytime? That's shady. The quality of the food has also changed and it is under-seasoned. This place used to be my go to but at this point we won't be back! read more

Came here on an evening when I was extremely hungry & didn't want Wendy's or drive-thru food. Keep in mind that I was EXTREMELY HUNGRY so everything I say may be overrated. :) * Ordered the chicken teriyaki, fried rice & vegetables. The restaurant had a very strong food smell as the restaurant has an open layout and they cook everything on the grill. I had to walk outside for fresh air as I waited for my food. Quick service. The food was ready in 5 mins. * The chicken was really good!!! It was tender, juicy & full of flavor...not sure what part of the chicken I was eating to be so tender. But the chicken was really good. The rice was pretty good as well. I was starving, but the rice was good. The vegetables were meh. Think they were added to add color on the plate instead of for taste. * I didn't need to add soy sauce...I usually add soy sauce when the food has no flavor. But I did try the Yum Yum sauce. Maybe below average yum yum sauce, but it's a fast hibachi spot so I wasn't expecting greatness. * Overall, decent price, good food, and fast/friendly service. I'll be back!! read more

Extreme Teriyaki Grill Express - Teriyaki chicken, fried rice & vegetables. - Japanese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I was craving hibachi, I mean craving it !,not pregnant but really in the mood for some grilled meat veggies and rice. On my first visit I finished my plate before my friends could blink the food was prepared with fresh meat and made to order just as if you were to go to a regular sit down hibachi the price was reasonable and staff was so attentive and very nice, because of covid there isn't an option for seating however I really doubt that you would even make it home with your food lol. Since my first visit two days ago I visited again this time bringing a new friend I wasn't as hungry so I thought let's see if it's still good and Boy was it! It checked every square hot,fresh,affordable ,clean and great customer service so I'm sold! Keep it up guys, I will be returning for sure!. read more

Looking for quick, no frills hibachi; Extreme Teriyaki is for you. Happened upon them after leaving Pet Smart. Cute and quaint fast-food like establishment with bright red menus offering sushi, bento boxes, and hibachi (protein, rice, and veggies). I ordered the shrimp teriyaki ($9.99) also a combo of chicken and beef teriyaki ($11.89). The gentleman who took my order was pleasant and efficient. There were two line cooks preparing the meals and one gentleman who would box and serve the meals. Very efficient service and also very quick. The meals were both super plentiful considering the cost. The shrimp looked like shrimp so I would say the presentation on my meal was better. The chicken and beef is more like thin strips of meat (you can only tell it is chicken because of the color). We also both noted the rice was somewhat overcooked (more mushy and less rice noodles in appearance). Same for the veggies...a bit over steamed so they were kind of mushy in appearance too. Taste wise, both entrees were decent. You are provided extra teriyaki sauce and yum yum sauce with your meals. I did find myself using the teriyaki sauce and it was very flavorful. Overall, decent meal for the price paid. read more

12/2015 I love this place! I'm from CA where there's a lot of good teriyaki places and when I relocated to Atlanta it took me awhile to find an Asian spot in the city that I enjoy. Their chicken teriyaki is very good! I also enjoy the fried rice. What makes it different from other places is the teriyaki sauce, fast service and quality food. Oh, and they aren't stingy with the sauce. 5/2016 I had to update my review. The customer service from the Mexican girl who takes orders has been really horrible the last 2-3 times I went here. Messing up on my order and accusing me of lying about my food being wrong. Had to adjust my rating. read more

The food is alright but my main complaint is that the whole place was filled with smoke. Literally my eyes and head began to hurt just my standing in there. Upon sitting to eat thinking maybe I can handle it, the tables were oily. I just decided to eat in the car afterwards. read more

Good fast food joint. Most people take out to eat but I sat in today. The air filled with the sound of the grill and the food being prepared on it. The server was pleasant and kept things going. I had the hibachi fried rice with shrimp. First they did not skimp on the shrimp. There was plenty and well seasoned. They were not to soft but firm which is the way I like them. I did not add their famous sauce. Yes I could be called a bland guy but I'd rather taste the foundation of the prepared food without being covered. The rice had a good amount of eggs and vegetables, I'll ask for extra onions next time. And yes, there will be a next time. If you are in the area, want something relatively fast you naught want to check this place out. read more

I'm a pescatarian and have been pescatarian for almost 6 years now. I woke up feeling terrible due to the fact that I just realized that there were pieces of chicken in my order and I was so hungry on the way to my home last night, I did not bother looking at what I ate and now regret that today.

Extreme Teriyaki Grill Express - Pieces of chicken In a shrimp only order. - Japanese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I stopped by the grill on Howell Mill road for a quick bite of lunch around 1:30 pm on a Tuesday and there was no waiting in line. I placed my order and it was ready in like 5 minutes. I ordered the chicken teriyaki entree that came with steamed veggies and I had a choice of either steamed or fried rice for $6.29. I went with the fried rice. The presentation wasn't anything special. It was served in a plastic takeaway plate but I was responsible for getting my plastic fork from the condiments station that was setup against the wall. I got a decent amount of rice and chicken but only a small amount of veggies. It was still more than enough to eat in one sitting so I got a cover for my plate and took the rest with me. The teriyaki chicken was quite tasty and I was satisfied with the customer service. There's a reasonable amount of seating, if you choose to eat in, like I did. However, it got pretty smoky in that joint and I left there selling like a bit of everything on the menu. The food is "allegedly" cooked as ordered but I watched as a few customers walked in and out with their orders in less than 5 minutes. Perhaps, they called and ordered in advance. I didn't asked, I just observed. There are about 4 parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant but don't panic, there's plenty of free parking nearby. The restaurant is open Monday - Saturday 11am to 10pm and Sunday from 11am to 9pm. They have four different locations. 1. Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, GA. 2. Lawrenceville Hwy, Tucker, GA. 3. Cascade Road, Atlanta, GA. 4. Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Duluth, GA. read more

When you walk in the place you almost choke because the grills are not cleaned often and it must be poor ventilation. I ordered shrimp teriyaki and it was supposed to come with fried rice. The rice they served me was steamed rice and had not hit the grill. The vegetables tasted like the had been soaked in soy sauce. I have had bettter experiences here so I think just don't go during busy time read more

I'm in the area often shopping at Lane Bryant or Wally world so decided to try this place one Saturday. Their health score was 85 so I'll give it a try. Had the hibachi salmon...it was pretty good, I know next time to tell them to cook the salmon a lil longer. It was done but I like it a lil more crispy in the edges. The fried rice was ok, but as another review mentions it was white rice fried with soy sauce, no onions or veggies. Also got a side of veggie eggrolls which come as 2. Theu were just ok. Not the best and not the worst either. I will come back though if I'm in the area and have a taste for this read more

I moved to ATL from SC. There are several wonderful express type Japanese places in SC and I have been craving a good, quick chicken teriyaki plate. I did not receive that here. The food was just...so not good. The chicken was uncomfortably chewy and not very tasty. The sauce got everywhere in my car because there was too much in the plate. The vegetables didn't seem fresh. There was only a couple pieces of broccoli and the zucchini had such an abnormal texture. The fried rice part was the best thing about the plate...but the syrupy sauce drenched it and made it hard to force down. I ended up throwing the plate away. I will say that unlike many of the other reviewers, I didn't experience any bad customer service. That was actually one good thing about the location. read more

They had a score of 80 B and aplee so. The chef used the same grill area and spatula for my chicken and someone else's shrimp. They never asked if I had a seafood allergy. The yum yum sauce was in a metal bin unrefrigerated next to the hot grill. The chicken is thrown on the grill frozen. Know it's not fresh. The taste was average. I won't go back. read more

I saw this place near the Air BnB I was staying at and decided to give them a try. The place looked nice from the outside. Inside was not bad neither. The cashier/order taker was a pleasant female. She explained the items that I wanted to order. I saw the 2 cooks cooking and doing good business too. The prices were very reasonable. I started reading the other Yelp reviews and was having buyer's remorse. I hoped my food would turn out okay. I got to my place and started off with the crab rangoon which was a 3 piece, not bad, I have had better but decent. Then I tried the 1/2 & 1/2 sushi combo which I got shrimp tempura and smoke salmon, it tasted good. I loved the tempura a lot. I always ordered the hibachi fried rice with shrimp. I tried 2 it's and was amazed; it had flavor, good amount of veggies too. I am sure restaurants have their bad nights/days but today they were on point for me. I was impressed and recommend them. read more

This is a good budget friendly place to eat. The quality of food is inconsistent. I have eaten here twice. The first time I ate here, the food was fresh and really good quality but the second time was disappointing. We ordered the chicken and beef teriyaki bento with seaweed salad, crab Rangoon and dumplings and veggies. The first time and second time we ate here the seaweed salad was great. The dumplings were ok. Crab Rangoon was good. I don't recommend ordering the veggies, they were stale. The beef and chicken both were good but I would recommend getting the chicken as it was more flavorful than the beef. The portion size was good. Overall if you are looking for average food at budget friendly price then you can try this place, you might have a great eating experience depending on your luck! read more

We live close by and often come here for lunch. We always get the chicken teriyaki bento box, which gives you two side options and Cali roll. We rotate between spring roll, miso soup, steamed vegetables and dumplings. The Cali roll should have avocado, but it's still not terrible. We love that everything is made to order on the spot so you can see it. It is delicious and very filling, usually leaving leftovers for dinner. We usually try not to sit in because the ventilation isn't great. It smells weird in there and stuffy, so we tend to take it home or sit outside in the little chairs to eat so we can have fresh air. This place is definitely our go to when we are craving teriyaki! The chicken teriyaki I would say is better than many hibachi places and much more affordable. read more

Suprisingly good, will definitely go back. Asked for light oil and sauce and made it that way to order - large portion. Note if you get chicken and shrimp its mostly chicken. Dumplings could be better: ends too crispy bc deep fried. read more
