I have been ordering from Maui Teriyaki since I moved here in 1992. The owner is so sweet and friendly. Food is always fresh and hot. The sampler plate is our go to for beef and chicken teriyaki combo. Portions are good and you can expect to have some leftovers. The restaurant is an order at the counter type of restaurant. There are about 6 tables. set up for a quick meal and super casual. The sauces are not overly sweet, their dressing is light rice vinegar based, and sweet. It is real good for chinese chicken salad. Their rice is always fluffy and it's a good portion of it your container set up to be a bed for the protein of your choose. The menu has a variety of menu option for all types of eaters, including pescatarians and vegetarians. If you're on a budget, you can always opt for a Chicken bowl! Salmon Teriyaki is son#4's favorite despite being the pickiest eater of all 4 of my boys. My other 3 will do all beef or the Sample Plate (beef & chicken). Nothing has ever changed with the food, taste and portion. Only the prices (which is understandable) and when they used to be called Teriyaki Magic changed. 34 years says a lot about this place and they're still going strong, food is just as fabulous as ever, the owner sons work there periodically and the owner is still her bright, cherry and bubbly self! read more

I called and placed my order because I know it takes a good 15-20 minutes to get our food ready. We ordered the Salmon Teriyaki, though the price has gone up it was almost $40. For both plate it's worth every penny. They're not stingy with the portion sizes. You get about 4-5 Salmon pieces smothered in teriyaki sauce but the Salmon is fresh!! You also get a side of fresh green salad, macaroni salad and 2 lemon slices. If you choose to eat inside it's never packed but we always take it to go. The tables are always clean if you want to though. read more

We ordered the Salmon Teriyaki and it was delicious and very filling. They also add a lot of salmon which is a plus!! The owner is very nice as well as personable. She gave me a free Snapple since my bf has been frequenting this place for years. How sweet is that! She definitely remembers repeat customers. The place is also very clean inside. read more

My boyfriend works nearby and has been raving about this place for years, and I finally got to try it recently! I definitely had high expectations, and Maui Teriyaki met every single one of those expectations. The ordering process was easy by phone, and the food was ready quickly. I got the short rib + chicken combo plate, which came on a bed of rice and with salad and macaroni salad on the side. It was delicious! Everything was cooked to perfection. There is tons of parking available in the open lot outside. Also, there is indoor and outdoor seating, but somewhat limited. However, we went at a good time and there were many tables and chairs open. Nevertheless, we took the food back to work and ate outside at a picnic table on-site. read more

Never disappoints! My go to with my family on days we don't feel like cooking. Their sampler plate is my favorite!

Good quality of food at a reasonable price. Service is always kind and pleasant. They also give versatile options with the side dishes.

The food here is excellent! A bit pricey but well worth it very delicious and the staff is very attentive. Highly recommended and best of all fresh! read more

Great food at a fare price. People are friendly and helpful. If you are looking for great teriyaki this is the place.

I really hate leaving bad reviews, especially when the food is this good--because Maui Teriyaki and the Special #3 are some of my absolute favorites. But the service today was honestly unacceptable. I placed an order during my lunch break, expecting to grab my food and go. When I showed up, they had no idea what I was talking about--my order was never placed. No one called, no follow-up, nothing. Just a shrug and a "Oh, it looks like it didn't go through." By the time that was figured out, my lunch break was over and I had to head back to work without eating. The food here is great, but it's not worth missing lunch over because of careless service. If you're going to take lunch orders, especially during a rush, get organized and communicate with your customers. Super disappointing experience. read more

Favorite place paired with a favorite dish? Why not? While settling into the LA area, I see this from the street as wondering what to eat for dinner. It's a small place, but warm and inviting. I was just open to a new experience. Maybe I was misunderstood but I was served in a to-go plate. I ate in the dining room. Wow. The food was amazing. I almost had one of those life pausing moments as I ate. Really well prepared. Nothing to complain about. 4 stars now. Will update as I go back and sample more dishes. read more

This is the best teriyaki I've ever had! I love the sampler platter which gives you both chicken and beef. The salad is always fresh and I love the extra jalapenos and chilis they give you. We're also a fan of the salmon platter. read more

The first time I came here I didn't know what to get. So the young lady suggested the Deluxe Sampler Platter: chicken, beef, ribs, shrimps, rice, green salad & macaroni salad. I was hooked. Today 6/22/24 is my 2nd visit & I got the same thing. The service & ambiance is great. Thank you for the great food. See you next time read more

When there is a bag of food READY IT SHOULD BE GIVEN OUT ALREADY! Not after so many customers and phone orders being completed! I waited more than 5 minutes after the food was bagged. The cashier could have given me my food bag since I already payed. She took a phone order and after took 4 people's orders. Like hello, haven't you ever heard of transitioning your help in not just taking orders but giving the food out when it's already READY!! UNPROFESSIONAL way of working in the fast food industry. I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK HERE DUE to a crappy service. TRAIN YOUR CASHIER MORE BETTER! read more

Everytime I visit Maui Teriyaki (since 2002/03) I am satisfied with the food and customer service! My favorite is the YaKi Soba!!

This place used to be great last three times I came in to get chicken bowls. The chicken is cut up very small and not consistent and half of it is burnt and overcooked. How can you ruin a chicken bowl get your shit together Chicken, it's not supposed to crunch in your mouth like a potato chip read more

People who read my reviews know that environmental conscience run the headlines alongside customer service and a great product. I had a chance to chat with the nice lady who owns this store and she told me that the #6 containers they use cost 4 times more than the Styrofoam option and other businesses in areas that have banned the stuff stock up on it and use the excuse that they are "still using up their leftover inventory" to keep using it. But she cares about the ocean and understands that certain materials in food service is carcinogenic. It's so great to meet like minded people even if they still use thin form plastic bags. This clean little shop lives in a large strip mall with a Vons. I picked up two teriyaki chicken bowls to have leftovers. They were pretty good, but I should have held on to the teriyaki sauce she offered me because there isn't enough on the chicken to coat the rice. I appreciate the addition of veggies even if there aren't many. One bowl is enough for one meal for me and I'm not a big eater. Price is about $8 a bowl. Prices are fair considering the extra measures this place takes to offer safe food and I would return if I were in the Lawndale area. read more

Mall food at best. The macaroni salad has no flavor and tastes like regurgitated baby food in your mouth. Sad brown lettuce for the salad. If you want to eat a ton of calories this is not the place to do it! read more

The service is incredible, I have been here a few times at different times of day and the owner is always there she is very friendly and welcoming, the food is just as amazing, fresh ingredient's, tons of flavor, I got the special number one. The shrimp, wantons, and chicken were delicious, the rice is fresh and not clumpy. There also a great variety of bottled drinks. The seating area is perfect plenty of indoor seating as well as a couple outdoor tables. I highly recommend ordering some dine in or takeout. read more

There is no bad Hawaiian bbq in my opinion. The food is tasty and sauce was great. The rice was good

I haven't had Maui in over 5 years and it's good to know that the quality and service has remained the same.

Maui Teriyaki is probably the best teriyaki I've ever had! Not too saucy or overwhelmingly sweet. The chicken was really fresh and not deep fried. They include a good portion of steamed rice and macaroni salad. I'm not even a fan of macaroni salad and this stuff was amazing. read more

With few words I will tell you why 5 stars. I drive from Korea Town to Maui Teriyaki for around 45 minutes and it totally worth it. This is my favorite teriyaki place. Try the super plate so you can taste a little of everything. read more

DELICIOUS! unexpectedly a great meal. So simple and so tasty. Lots of great flavors here. The only issue is there isn't free water. They charge a dollar for a water bottle. On the plus side if you want any additional sauce they'll give it to you. Mochiko Chicken - delicious. Think chicken Nuggets but better. The Teriyaki sauce is great. They say it's a little spicy but I didn't notice it. Curry Fries - fantastic flavors. Not overwhelmingly curry like Volcano Fries - great spicy flavor Who can resist chicken and fries? 100% should check this place out. Grab some lunch here and bring it to the beach across the street! read more

This restaurant is becoming my goto spot during the work week. I had the chicken curry plate. It was made fresh, thick not runny with potatoes and carrots. I enjoyed it along with the small salad and Mac salad. Next I'll try the spicy chicken! read more

For a reasonably priced and tasty meal, Maui Teriyaki is the place to go. When I was working, this was a favorite place to pick up lunch. So glad it's still around after all these years. A nice variety of items from teriyaki chicken or beef, fried shrimp, galbi (Korean short ribs), etc. It's one of the few places where I like the macaroni salad. Everything is reasonably priced. read more

Provender: a great teriyaki joint in the South Bay. I ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki plate and everything that came with it was good. The entree comes with salad and macaroni. The spicy sauce was actually a little spicy, which was a pleasant surprise. Prices: the spicy chicken teriyaki plate will run you under $9. Parking: plenty of parking. It's in the Vons shopping center. People: fun for all. Perks: they have limited seating inside, so calling in an order for pick up is a great option. The staff was friendly. The plate portions were also large. read more

3 stars for this place. Why because sometimes it's good and sometimes it's ugh I've noticed that when the owner is present the food is solid but when he's out the food just isn't the same It's as if the employees aren't really into it Ps. Im not the only one that has noticed this - read more

Always order the Chinese chicken salad. For extra flavor order the macaroni salad to add into your salad. All together should be about $10. Which can be split between 2-3 people. Usually order over the phone. Sometimes hard to be heard on their line. read more

This place used to be sooo good and delicious. I would be first to tell anyone to go here and rate it a 5 star but since the pandemic. The taste and quality of the food has lost its taste and charm. It's not what it once was. The taste is bland now. The teriyaki sauce used to be sweet and savory. Now has no taste. The macaroni used to be flavorful and now bland as well. I don't know if it's the cooks not preparing it like the original recipe or if they change and down grated their ingredients but not the same anymore. Not happy with my recent stop and it only reminded me of why I should go here anymore. Which is sad because the lady owner is so nice and awesome and I think if they add love to their dishes and cared again, this place would be busy again. I won't be coming anytime soon. But if I forget and crave this spot like I used to. I hope it's better than this last visit. read more

Randomly wanted a taste of island food and saw Maui Teriyaki was near. Place was clean with a great menu of offerings. The guy taking my order was also super patient because I didn't know what I wanted, everything looked amazing. I had the spicy chicken teriyaki plate and got a side of shrimp. More than enough for me and my friend to share. The shrimp was the size of my hands and fried to perfection. I will definitely be back sooner than later. read more

This is the worse teriyaki I have had ever. Totally lacks flavor! The teriyaki meat is grilled well but the sauce is horrible, the macaroni salad is not appealing. In fact, after I saw the guy in the kitchen dumping it from a jar and cleaning the rest of it out with his hand, I decided I wouldn't even try it. I actually thought about leaving the whole plate there. They really need to improve the sauce! And the plate comes with wontons! These things are not wontons! Could improve the flavor of those as well. read more

Another place I like to go for lunch. Their chicken or beef bowls are perfect size for lunch, and if your extra hungry, I guess you can get a chicken plate. Good service. read more

The food tasted great and came out quick. They serve a good portion of food as well which made it worth it.

This is the best tasting teriyaki I've had in a long time. Would definitely suggest anyone try it. The flavor or the sauce with the meat just melts in your mouth and then you have the fresh steamed rice. There's also a side of macaroni salad that just compliments it perfectly and a small side salad. The portion was pretty large so could be shared between two people or ate for leftovers the next day. read more

Decent food, I like going when the owner is there, she is friendly and I feel like the food quality is better... prices have definitely gone up so I think ill stop going for now. The younger people at the cashier are rude and have no good customer service they also refused to give me extra chili even as I offered to pay extra for it, makes no sense. Hope they get it together read more
