Temple Teppanyaki - Japanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I would give it a 1000 stars if I could. This is still to this date the best Korean twice fried chicken I've ever had. And the owners are super nice! read more

30/30. Would eat here at least once a week in college. Everything is delicious and has a great price. The owners are very friendly as well.

The owner is so friendly, the portions are large, and they cook with olive oil! Beef or chicken teppanyaki is the way to go! I go multiple times a week. Definitely recommend. read more

*Heads up! CASH ONLY* Like everyone else on this page has said, try the #9. It's perfectly fried chicken on a bed of rice topped off with a sweet and spicy sauce on top. It looks super simple but it so goood! My boyfriend got the chicken bowl which came with chicken on a bed of rice, broccoli, and some salty sauce on top. I thought the whole thing was a little too salty but he liked it. Overall, if you're in the area check this place out! read more

See all

this is the best food truck on all of temple canvas. consistent, fresh, tasty food for a reasonable price. the customer service is the sweetest as well. i can't recommend this spot enough! read more

Me and my friends always order the fried chicken rice which is good. But today we decided to try something new. We ordered a Bulgogi Bibimbap and we were shocked that it had a lot of hairs in it. I don't think I'll go back here. It's terrible! read more

Temple Teppanyaki - Bulgogi Bibimbap - Japanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My boyfriend is a Temple alumni and ever since covid, we've been cravinggggg their fried chicken and donkatsu platter. After 3 years, we finally made the time to go today for lunch, and it really hit the spot their food is so homey. Their prices are cheap for inflation hitting every business!!! They're a sweet and caring older couple who cook together. If you're a Temple student or live around the area, definitely make yourself a regular here!!!! Won't disappoint :) read more

Beef noodle with a side of their spicy chili sauce is the best asian noodle dish I've ever had.

This truck's a classic at Temple U. To be honest, I don't even really know what their official name is. A few of the online publications I browsed in search of this place's official name contradicted each other... "Teppanyaki Japanese and Korean"? "Japanese and Korean Food Truck"? Just plain "Teppanyaki"? But don't worry too much about the name. Mmm, teppanyaki. For starch, choose between noodles or rice. For protein, choose among beef, chicken, shrimp, or tofu. You also get a medley of vegetables including broccoli, carrot, cabbage, onion, and bean sprouts. Your order's pretty customizable; I prefer the noodles, myself. They're thick, not overdone, and absorb the sauce well. Nice meat to noodles to veggie ratio (about 1:2:1). The meat's really well-cooked. The beef wasn't stringy at all. They've been doing this for a while, and it shows! The fact that they use olive oil in their cooking is kind of odd... it doesn't really jive with my idea of traditional Asian cooking and the flavor of their Asian cooking, but I guess it makes the heavy food a little healthier and it doesn't strongly affect the taste. You could get used to it. The couple who owns the truck work quickly and they're both very friendly. Greet them with "annyeonghaseyo" ("hello" in Korean) to put them in a good mood. They've also got some other offerings, which I haven't tried yet, such as chicken wings, fried shrimp, dumplings, tonkatsu, miso soup, kalbi, and kim-bab. I'd give it a 3.5... rounded up to 4 stars. read more

Temple Teppanyaki - Noodles and shrimp teppanyaki - Japanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I am in love with their fried chicken. I would get it almost every day after a Chinese test. It is crispy and light on the outside, and juicy and flavorful on the inside. The rice is also cooked well not too dry or soggy and the sauce that comes with it is not overly sweet, careful not to overpower the savory of the chicken. The hot sauce that comes on the side is a little difficult to use because if it's large pepper seeds but now I just dump it in close the box and shake it like Chipotle. read more

So the tuna kimbap made me throw up and be sick. I've had the same thing and bulgogi kimbap before too, but for some reason, I threw up from the kimbap this time. I threw up a few hours later after it had been sitting in my stomach. #9 is indeed really good. Probably never going here again because it made me sick :(. read more

Food: Chicken Bowl and a #9. The chicken bowl was good but a bit too salty. The #9 was crispy and the sauce was delicious. Service: It was a short wait and the woman that took our order was really kind. Ambiance: N/A Other: CASH ONLY read more

Favorite food truck on campus. Sweetest lady working at the window. Always fast. The sweet and sour wings take 10 minutes because they fry them fresh to order. My favorite is beef with rice. They also have tasty thick noodles. I tried the chicken once but I prefer the beef. Takes cash and card. read more

If you're not sure what you want from here just go with the #9 - best fried chicken wings. Beef kimbap is also one of my favorites here but they tend to run out of it. No surprise since it's so damn good! The owners are so sweet too. read more

Temple Teppanyaki - #9 - Japanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Honestly walked by not expecting much. Sat down to eat it and just WOW. I've had Korean Fried chicken in Southern California, and it seriously doesn't compare to Temple Teppanyaki. This is a truly special place- the spicy sauce is more sweet than anything, the chicken is perfectly fried, and the rice is sooooooo good! Going to be coming here a whole bunch the next few years, thank you! read more

My first time going to this truck was just yesterday. It has a decently sized menu and surprisingly affordable. The thing to know is this place only accepts cash. You do get a lot of bang for your buck. I ordered the number 9 because I've seen others eat it. Fried chicken wings and rice. Super tasty and made to order. They want you to call before picking up number 9 so you don't have to wait outside. It takes about 15 min to make. They are confident in their product and have a large fan base. read more

Temple Teppanyaki - Number 9 - Japanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Teppanyaki is pretty good. I prefer the noodles over the rice bowl. It a solid lunch, nothing too extraordinary. What I really want to talk about is their #9, the Sweet and Spicy Korean Fried Chicken. For $6 you get 6 pieces of double-fried sweet, spicy, succulent fried chicken over rice. I personally don't like really crispy food but this has a prefect crunch. After they fry the chicken, they dress it with a sweet and spicy sauce and it is so delicious. If I really had to complain about this dish I would say that this would be even better if they had some veggies to this dish because it is pretty heavy. read more

I've heard good things about this food truck from several different people so I've decided to check it out. I went with a friend and we were kindly greeted by the lady taking orders. They had 2 windows opened for orders and while we were looking through the menu, the man at the second window took our orders. I ordered #9 (Sweet and Spicy Fried Chicken Wings w/Rice) and my friend ordered the Kim-Bab. We were told the #9 was going to take about 15 minutes. We appreciated the courtesy of them telling us about the wait. We waited about 10-12 minutes and our food was ready. The #9 was absolutely delicious! The wings were fresh and warm. Definitely will be back for more! read more

One of my favorite trucks on campus. I always get the beef or chicken tappenyaki (with two or three chili packets for extra spice). Flavorful, filling, and inexpensive. Great option. $6 goes a long way here. read more

DAT #9 DOE. The best wings on campus hands down. They are succulently crispy and the sauce is sweet and spicy. You gotta call ahead of time because it takes about 20 min to make. But that is just an essential part of korean fried wings you gotta accept. If you want some quick food, I recommend the teppanyaki with noodles! Mrs. Kim also makes kimbap too which gets sold out usually by the middle of the day. read more

Delicious, cheap, and run by kind people. I went on an extremely cold day with icy wind, making me and my friend shiver and our noses run while we waited for our food. The woman cooking took notice and gave us each a free cup of hot, sweet tea. I'm not sure what kind of tea that was but it was amazing and much appreciated on such a cold day! It tasted kind if like a sweet rice drink. The chicken teppanyaki I got was also very good! And it was a huge portion (esp. for only $6.50). Lots of chicken, lots of veggie, lots of yummy noodles, and topped with sesame seeds. The sauces and Kim chi in the small plastic containers are also super delicious if you like adding extra spiciness. Oh yeah, the only oil they supposedly use is olive oil. I can't wait to try more of the menu! read more

CALL AHEAD ALWAYS. The wait is pretty long if you're getting the #9. But the food is so good!! It now takes credit cards also so definitely worth the stop! read more

I've been eating in campus like 2 years and I just never tired of trying "Shrimp and Tofu Combination" with some rice/noddles. It was so tasty and they sometimes gives out free Kimchi if business goes well for the day. Number 9 is always my first choice as well. read more

Got the chicken teppanyaki and it was delicious! Only about $6 and there was a lot leftover. I also tried the chicken wings with rice and it has this sweet sauce over crispy skin - about 6 pieces of large drumsticks and wings. There's usually a group of people that have ordered before you so you'll have to wait for 10 minutes or so. It's one of my favorite food trucks read more

Number 9 is bomb. 10/10 would eat again. Trust me, you won't regret getting this. It's perfectly fried, the sauce is perfect, and the rice is amazingly tasty. read more

One of the best trucks on campus. The teppanyaki and rice bowls have the trinity of cheapness, tastiness, and quantity. Do not, however, get the kalbi. It's the most expensive item on the menu, and the beef itself is pretty good, but you get barely any meat. read more

This review is based solely on the #9 meal, because thats the only thing I eat here. So what is #9? Its perfectly fried chicken wings with a sweet chili sour sauce poured on top, with white rice. Always made fresh and taste so good. My friends really like the teppanyaki and dongatsu (fried pork cutlet) as well. 10/10 recommend the #9 read more

Never a disappointment when it comes to my usual order--Teppanyaki Tofu Noodles. And for only $6! Generous portion. The well-respected lady who usual takes order is very friendly. And if you are a spicy seeker, request two of the homemade chili sauce at no extra cost. Runny nose, guaranteed! read more

Food quality has dropped so much this year. The pork cullet has three times flour more than n the meat. It used to use pork chop but now it's some grand pork.... The tanpanyaki is also not as good as before. Really dry read more

I don't know if giving them a 5 star is too much since I haven't tried many of their other food. But I'm giving 5 stars for #9 on the menu. Chicken is nice and crunchy and probably if not the best, then one of the best chicken wings around temple area. I heard their Tuesday curry special is good too. Still haven't had the chance to try it. Will try it soon. The owners are really nice and friendly too. read more

So good. I always get the noodles and chicken when I order Teppanyaki. Owners are very friendly. Cash only though.
