Friendliest people! Very fast, and usually when you order broccoli beef you get heavy broccoli portion and a little beef, (not worth the cost) but at mom's it's the opposite, and it's amazing! read more

It's alright, not the best teriyaki I've ever had but also not the worst. The sauce is flavored pretty well I think. It's not too sweet though it is kinda salty. The salad (+ some water) will really help with that. The food came out really quick and the place is cute, especially if you attended Auburn High School. Other than that, there's not much to say read more

Mom's Teriyaki - Delicious fried rice! - Japanese Near Me - Auburn, Washington

Great food, got the sweet and sour chicken lunch special and everything was delicious. Chicken wasn't dry, flavor was amazing! Super friendly staff, only thing is the portions were pretty small. read more

I got the chicken yakisoba and it was bland and had more bean sprouts then noodles and very little other veggies

Delicious high quality teriyaki. The food here is unique and unlike most teriyaki joints. The teriyaki sauce is extra thick and brown like a gravy....it pairs really well with their chicken. The salad dressing is the best I've had in a while. They have a decent sized menu, with numerous cheap side menu options to choose from such as side orders of protein, veges, wonton soup, etc..... The service is also stellar, they are very friendly and the restaurant is cozy and welcoming with pagoda themed interiors. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

Mom's Teriyaki - chicken and gyoza....best teriyaki sauce! - Japanese Near Me - Auburn, Washington

I really wish this place was good. It's delicious if you enjoy having sludge smothering your chicken. This place should be shut down along with the rest of the absolutely awful teriyaki restaurants that now remain in Auburn. read more

If I could give this place a negative I would! This place is awful!!! Looks dirty as you enter and the only reason why we gave it a try is because it was recommended to us. The staff are very rude. The food tasted as if it was old, the shrimp had black stuff. The whole plate had a funky taste. Just horrendous!! read more

This is the kind of business we should be supporting! Just a humble husband and wife running this nice restaurant with delicious teriyaki! They sell bowls which are a smaller portion than normal, which I appreciate because I can't usually finish all of my food. The spicy chicken was cooked through so perfectly and the sauce was very spicy but not unbearable. And again I want to say the owners are the sweetest restaurant owners I have met! Please support Mom's teriyaki- you won't regret it! read more

This is mine and boyfriend favorite Japanese restaurant in the area, don't really like dining in so we always order to go!

My favorite teriyaki place, and for good reason. I always come back to this place after trying other places and it's still the best. The chicken is great and their sauce for their katsu and teriyaki is incredible. The couple that own the place are really nice and make the place feel warm. Only regret is how long I waited to come back and eat my favorite take out. read more

I ordered the chicken teriyaki with salad and rice, and it was pretty decent. The portions were very generous too, and the price was about what I'd expect. The only disappointment was the salad, which was basically just iceberg lettuce. Also, I couldn't really tell what kind of restaurant they were trying to be, as they had what seemed like a mix of Chinese, Thai and Japanese foods on the menu. read more

Best spicy teriyaki I've had anywhere. They recently cut down on the sauce though. They are always friendly, fast, and delicious. Once you've had Mom's, there is no going back. :) read more

I agree with Molly. I really don't get what the fuss is over this place and why it is so popular. I have gone here a couple times with friends who just drool over the thought of this place. I actually prefer Ginger Teriyaki II down on the other side of town above all else. This place has huge portions of just okay teriyaki. It doesn't get my taste buds jumping but its OKAY. As long as there are other teriyaki places like Gingers in the area I won't be going here. read more

This is probably the worst place I've visited in the Auburn. Food was terrible and the employees looks dirty.

I had been such a big fan of the Kent location (so bummed it closed! :( ) so after a workout, the fianc and I came here for the first time recently. I had always heard rave reviews about this place, so I don't know what it is but I wasn't too crazy about it. I mean, the owners/staff seem to be very nice and friendly, don't get me wrong. I think it was just the taste; like the sauce or something wasn't quite what we were used to at the Kent location. (Although I had my sauce on the side, I did try a little bit and both of us felt it just wasn't the same). I'm not really in the Auburn area much, so I couldn't suggest any other teriyaki places close by, but I'm sure there are some not far from here. The place *isn't* terrible or anything; I had a different expectation and this place didn't meet it, so I just find this place to be alright. read more

First and foremost, you look for heart and soul. Mom's Teriyaki has it with a smile. Great flavor and generous portions. A great on the way lunch spot with very reasonable prices. A comfortable place for the casual diner and very enthusiastic about service. Great energy. http://moms-teriyaki-restaurant-auburn-wa.com/ read more

Love the spicey chicken!! And the stir fried veggies are soo good. We order and extra side of the veggies, they are soo good!! Love the spicey chicken!! Oh, I am repeating myself..but we love it! read more

hands down best teriyaki in auburn. nobody else even comes close, and they are very nice. been eating here for over ten years.

I ordered some teriyaki for my coworkers and I. We went to go pick it up and came back to our work. When we opened it, we began to eat it and it tasted a bit odd. We all agreed (3 people) and checked it. We found out that there was a lot of grease and now my stomach hurts. I think the meat is already expired/spoiled. Would not recommend eating here! Here's a photo attached so you can see what we saw read more

BEST TERIYAKI IN TOWN! or ever! I always go here and the food is amazing! They are really fast and the prices are doable. Definitely going to keep coming back! They have so many different choices for meals and the salad is to die for. AWESOME read more

All the other kids in the area always rave about what a great place Mom's is. Personally, I just don't get it. It's alright, but it's nothing special. I remember one time I bought a spring roll that was frozen on the inside. -_- But whatever, it's cheap and edible and if you just need something quick for lunch I guess it's alright. read more

I came here today since Soo was closed for some reason, but I can't justify returning. The katsu was overcooked, the regular chicken teriyaki was pretty good, but the sauce was too salty. Portions are somewhat small (even the rice), and when a frozen pork roll is the best part of the meal, it's really not worth going back for. They are quite nice and helpful, but I have no idea how they won awards based on what I was served. They're more of a pan-asian place, and I tend to avoid those since they're usually mediocre. read more

My boyfriend and I have been going to Mom's for years. We love their food and hospitality. Mom's is well established in the community we've gotten to know the family who works there. They are hard working, awesome people!! We've tried different Teriyaki places, few are better but most are not as good. Mom's will always be #1 in our book!! read more

Food was cooked perfectly but had minimal flavor. Portions were a bit smaller than normal. Salad dressing was great!

I like it. Good food to take home on a rainy Auburn Day.

Great price, great food, great choice.. Teriyaki done right. Conveniently located at the intersection of "M" Street and East Main. Great place to stop grab a bite and wait out the traffic... read more

Believe the hype! You just have to know what to order...we always get the spicy chicken teriyaki and the fried rice. I am NOT a fan of fried rice, but I could eat Mom's fried rice all day, every day. It is that delicious. This place is the best Teriyaki in the South King County area hands down, bar none. read more

1st and last time here. The Mongolian beef was literally rancid with the sour stench of rotting meat. It was the first thing I tried and It ruined my appetite to where I just threw everything in the trash. Too bad I had it to go. I would have insisted on them taking a bite in front of me. I was slightly overcharged too. I ordered the chicken teriyaki lunch special ($5.99) and a combo of Mongolian beef /chicken katsu ($8.99). Some how they charged my credit card $17.85. Lastly, while waiting for my food I accidentally overfilled my soda cup with ice and found a bug while pouring out the excess. What a horrific experience. read more

It was amazing I love that you can split your meal with two different items, and they are really fast. Super nice lady that works here, and the crunchy chicken and teriyaki was so delicious. Their gyoza hands down took the cake though!! read more
