Really liked Island teriyaki. Everything was super fresh and tasty. The meat was really good. The wife had chicken and I had the beef and the flavor was excellent. The sauces are not too sweet, which I really liked and they weren't too salty either. I had the yakisoba and she had the protein bowl. We had some egg rolls, edamame crab, puffs, and potstickers and everything was super tasty. Give them a try. read more

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

Island Teriyaki - Maui (Large) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Great food and great service ! Gary is the best!!!!! We have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed .

I used to live over on this side of town and went to this place often. I don't know what happened, but I think possibly they have new owners and the food is horrible. It used to be a good place to go for jerk chicken they did a dry rub & grilled it and the sauce was served on the side if you wanted it. It was very spicy and really good. The slop that they are serving now is disgusting. It is dry overcooked rice with some what tastes like boiled chicken thrown on top with a whole bunch of tasteless bland sauce on top of that. It was basically an edible. I don't know what people are eating that are giving these great reviews or maybe they're just all high but that's some really awful food. 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

10/10! This place SNAPS!! It should be against the law for food to taste this good! A sample of their potsticker brought me in today! They delivered on the taste, price, portion and customer service. My spicy chicken vegetables and rice, potstickers and crab puffs were the best I've had! Not to mention the sauces! Thank you Island Teriyaki! 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

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

Really good food, good portions for what you pay and they have good customer service.

Food is amazing and is always consistent! Love the salad!! The price is right too, always friendly service!

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

Service is amazing. The owner is fantastic, so friendly. The food is great especially liked the island sauce. They do go heavy on their sauce so if that's not your thing as for it in the side. Actually found a place my picky daughter likes. Their air conditioning is great too. Definitely will be back. read more

I was checking out Hawaiian food in my area and this place came up with great reviews. I have lived in Hawaii before and was excited to give this place a try. The Hawaiian rice with pineapple is amazing. I prefer it with out meat added. I go back when I'm in the area. read more

Been eating here for at least 15 years. So good! The Jamaica is all white meat chicken and has some spice to it, it's my favorite 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

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

Wonderful!!! Small and quaint place with excellent service and food. Highly recommend to teriyaki lovers anywhere. Great prices and good quantity of food but more importantly, the quality was excellent. You can eat in or take out. 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

Tried almost everything on the menu. Everything was great! Friendly staff, great prices.. definitely recommend.

The people who work there are very friendly and the food is a reasonable price. Orange chicken is phenomenal. Still have yet to try more of their dishes but I highly recommend this business. Oh, and they're not a corporation! Support small business! read more

Seriously one of my favorite places to eat! Me and my husband go here at least once a week or every two weeks from the pot stickers to the noodles and chicken and rice everything is so flavorful and juicy! 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! Keep up the great work my friends! read more

Delicious! And reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. Super fast customer service. read more

Ambiance is partially dated partially island vibe. Jamaica bowl was ok, miso soup was terrible. Fountain drink options were simple. read more

Island Teriyaki has never disappointed. We go there quite often and everything is always fresh and delicious. I believe it's family run and everyone is always friendly and accommodating. If you like teriyaki try this place out read more

One of my favorite lunch places in the area. Always a ton of amazing food that will make you full. Would be a 5 stars but they downsized the portions about a year ago. Understandable and the portions are still great, but I do miss the old time of take-out containers packed to the brim with food. Still go here pretty regularly and would recommend anyone to try it at least once. read more

Been going for 20 years. Best Teriayki chicken ever. Quality, "fast food" and reasonably priced.

Randomly stopped in to order some food. All I really remember is the macaroni salad. It is so damn good!

Walked in for the first time and was treated like a local by Gary. So friendly and funny and helpful. Food was great too.

Love this place. Food is amazing. My go to spot for teriyaki bowl. Been going here for years. People are always nice and they never disappoint. read more
