Quaint little place in a strip mall. Unassuming from the outside. Service was good. Ordered to go and didn't have to wait much. I'm my short time there, they had a handful of regulars come in and greeted by name. Super awesome to see this type of service in a small business. As for the food, it was pretty good. I got the large lunch Jamaican chicken with brown rice. It was a good amount food, souch that I had to save a bit for later. I expected a bit more heat from the dish, but that's what I have Sriracha at home. The edamame was plain. It needed some spice or salt as well. It's close enough for me to hit up for lunch, so I'll come here again. read more

What a great restaurant!! The service was so friendly and I could tell a lot of the customers were regulars by the way they were greeted by name. I got the small Oahu teriyaki bowl and it was not small at all! My husband got the large and it was ginormous! We loved their teriyaki sauce, it has such a great flavor. The restaurant is decorated so cute and was very clean. This is such a great little place, please support your local restaurants like this!! read more

WHOA! Helloooo delicious! I am pleasantly surprised, this place is the bomb dot com. It reminds me of a place that I used to get teriyaki bowls at growing up that was so good then they disappeared and I've been looking for anything like it ever since. This is it. It brings me back and makes me really happy. THANK YOU! Now don't you dare go anywhere! I'll be back for lots more. Yum!! read more

I rarely leave reviews, but this place absolutely deserves the hype. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality from Gary and Julie. Their 4 kids were sitting at a table well, behaved and quiet. The space was clean and inviting--perfect for a casual meal or a quick lunch break. I ordered the Jamaica with extra veggies, and wow--every bite was bursting with flavor. The chicken was grilled to perfection: juicy, tender, with that perfect smoky char. The teriyaki sauce was rich, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced--not too salty or overpowering. The rice was fluffy and the vegetables were crisp and fresh, adding just the right amount of texture. Portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming, and prices were totally reasonable for the quality you're getting. I'll definitely be back - HIGHLY recommend! read more

15/10! My sister suggested this restaurant to my son and I and let's just say this will be a part of our regular rotation of restaurants. The food was delicious! I'm VERY particular about my chicken breast and theirs was perfectly seasoned and grilled. I also liked that you can order a bowl without sauce (I absolutely enjoyed it on the side). The portions are also very nicely sized as well. The gentleman working the register was so polite and kind. I could feel that the people who own this are genuinely warm and kind. Something very hard to find in quick service restaurants, today. Also the food was very reasonably priced which means we will now be regulars. Thank you! read more

Super nice owners (I'm assuming the guy upfront who took our order was the owner and the woman helping was his wife), they gave great friendly service, the restaurant was clean and comfortable inside. Those are all 5 stars. But the food was not great, it was barely good. Now, it's our first time there so we only had a couple things, but none were good. I tried the Jamaican chicken, it was very dense and dry white meat with very little flavor and no spice, disappointing because I love jerk chicken. The sauce they offer on the side was genuinely not good, now I love sauces, usually all sauces of all kinds, and I'm easy to please, but this sauce wasn't good, doesn't taste like teriyaki or soy at all, and since the dark meat chicken bowl I got wasn't very good (dry, not much flavor), the 'not good sauce' didn't help at all. My wife got the white meat bowl and said it was super dry and not very good. The "salads" were okay, but were essentially foam-clamshells packed with cold, fresh head lettuce, and the extremely thin, watery dressing was alright. The best part of the food was the steamed rice. I honestly wish I could rate this place higher because the guy who took care of us was really cool, and his wife (I'm assuming) was nice too. But, while the food was fresh, it just didn't taste very good, it was exceptionally bland and pretty dry with little or no flavor. read more

One of my very favorite spots in the NW Valley. I try to grab lunch here each time I'm near. This place isn't flashy, and that's one of the reasons why I love it. It's family run, and the pricing for the amount and quality of food is excellent. I always get the Jamaican bowl because it's the spicy version of their teriyaki. Their egg rolls are dynamite too. Such friendly staff. It's a fairly small spot within a strip mall, so you need to look out for it, but it's worth it! read more

When I was in high school I worked at Shogun Express which had rice bowls similar to Island Teriyaki. It was a big thing in the 90s and I loved it. It's hard to find a good place now, most use gross meat or weird sauces. Not island Teriyaki. It is soooo good. Always cooked well, always tastes great. My favorite is the Jamaica and I could probably eat it every day read more

I started coming here in the 90's. We used to order for lunch and someone would get. Now I live in the east valley so it's far between visits. I always get the cayman combo with Jamaican and the pork. The spice is a nice blend. This is served over white sticky rice! The side salad with the sesame ginger dressing is perfect coolness. The orange slice a nice touch. The egg rolls here are excellent with some sweet n sour. We always get extra teriyaki it's flavor is great. Wish I could buy it. Family owned the recipes remain the same. Parking is tight as it's in a strip mall but we always get carry out. Wish they had an east valley location cause honestly the food and the prices can't be beat. read more

Not sure we're the good reviews are coming from? The staff was great but the food was really bad! I order the teriyaki chicken bowl which was a bowl of dry white meet over some sticky white rice and a salty teriyaki sauce, it was basically flavorless, barely edible. Ordered some orange chicken as well, very little sauce probably the sorriest excuse of orange chicken ever, I had three bites and threw the rest away in the trash receptacle. I never really ever wrote a review on any of my restaurant experiences but I felt this one to be appropriate. My advice is to pass this place on by, don't waste your money like I did. read more

Great spot to eat some tasty teriyaki! I'm a big fan of dark meat chicken, especially when it comes to teriyaki, and often the one struggle is dealing with all the extra fat that goes along with dark meat. Not here. All the meat you get with your meal is purely edible chicken and it was very good. I ordered a large Maui plate and enjoyed the chicken and the rice and the small salad that went along with it. I also got a vegetable egg roll. that was very good not greasy at all service was fast and I would definitely come back here again read more

The service is always super fast and friendly and seems to be family owned. The store is cute not flashy but friendly and welcoming and has plenty of seating however not so thick people friendly when it comes to the seats the one down side but we always get our food to go so this isn't a problem but either way just something to be aware of!

Been here a few times and they've made a few changes I don't love. First off, they have replaced…read morecucumbers for lettuce. Just an odd change since the cost is low on both. Traditional sushi does not have lettuce...bad sushi places and grocery stores use lettuce. Second, the head chef seems to have let an apprentice take on the omakase. This completely changes the experience. I don't like the cheese on sushi and having it served by a backup guy just doesn't do it. Used to love this place but questioning their direction. Great news, they have replaced the lettuce with cucumber! Maybe chef got some negative feedback.

Came for a weekday dinner and the place was empty. Nice having the ordering tablet on the table,…read morejust like in Japan, though the descriptions were generic and unhelpful (all said the fish were high in protein and nutritious for rebuilding muscle). We asked about the fish of the day and special fish which happened to be the same, mackerel, the day we went. Interestingly, the servers had no idea about the fish aspects of the menu and everything was deferred to the sushi chefs. Ordered a few temaki (hand rolls) - yellowtail and spicy tuna- and they were tasty! All the nigiri we ordered were fresh without fishiness, and had generous portions for the price. Nice to have fresh wasabi which had a nice kick and sweetness. Thoroughly enjoyed these nigiri: seared black cod, ocean trout, hamachi/yellowtail, unagi. Yuzu & rainbow rolls had super appetizing sauces. Ordered the uni from Japan which was supposed to be sweeter than creamier but this one was very distasteful for me, had a strong scent like saliva, and I was unable to tolerate it.
