    Butter Garlic chicken, short ribs
    Essef

    Food is pretty good but pricing is a bit high.. i recommend the garlic butter chicken and the short ribs

    Steak and chicken Bento boxes with dumplings and California rolls.  The salad and orange were good too!

    My husband has been wanting to try this place. I ordered via the clover app and the food was ready in the time they said, so please allow 20 minutes for your food to be ready. We both got the Bento boxes Ribeye & Chicken and ordered dumplings and California rolls. This is definitely a fast food place but enjoyed our meals and will be back. There is plenty of parking and places to sit inside.

    Chicken Bowl special (6.99) with drink
    Victor G.

    Teriyaki City Grill recently opened where Jamba once was. Small space utilized efficiently with an open kitchen, booths & seating next to walls. Many murals on walls. This is 3rd location. 4 large tables outside. Parking lot is large but can get full at peak times. Soft vocal music in background. Place looks smaller than San Lorenzo, expanded menu. More seating/parking. Has Chicken Bowl special with drink (6.99) till 2/5/26. Line moves quickly. Self service drinks, utensils, sauces. Food ready in 5ish minutes. Offerings: sushi/specialty rolls, sushi platters, sides, bento/teriyaki bowls, salads, dumplings, drinks, soft serve, shakes.... Bites: Chicken Bowl Special with drink (6.99) -added many squints teriyaki sauce & one small tub. Tastes too sweet. Has soy sauce sodium aftertaste. -brown rice, chicken cubes, carrot, cabbage & broccoli were moist- tender, not grilled nor chewy. Has consistency of being steamed. Flavas all from teriyaki sauce, not from chicken, veg., or rice. -diet Pepsi tasted too sweet. Usually drink Diet Coke. 4ish stars worthy:ymmv. Quantity: serving size seems small. Quality: fresh ingredients used. Cooked to order. Doubtful repeat. Neither foods(sushi, teriyaki) my fav.

    Chicken and ribeye bento box. Not a whole Lotta chicken or beef hoping it's just because today was a grand opening.

    Caught the Grand Opening of Teriyaki City Grill today and I'm glad I did! Despite the crowd, the wait wasn't long at all. They have a huge variety, from organic tofu and salmon to sushi rolls and family-style platters for four. I tried the chicken and ribeye bento box. The flavors were on point, especially that salad dressing! The portions felt a little on the smaller side today, but given it was their first day, I'm looking forward to coming back and giving it another go. Very clean, great energy, and definitely worth a stop if you're in a pinch and don't want to cook.

    5 Missed the grand opening but definitely wanted to show this new restaurant in Downtown Hayward some love! I'm not big on teriyaki foods but saw they had a sushi menu. I'm a Philly Roll girl thru and thru. While it's not currently listed in the menu (apparently it's on the way though) the owner made an accommodation for me. Thank you so much team. It was delicious and the spicy mayo sauce is the perfect combination of flavor with a kick! Repeat customer loading.... - Mrs California Black United States 2026

    After waiting months and months for them to open. I finally got a chance to stop for lunch. I actually have been three times since they opened. Every time the food is really good. I pre-order over the phone and pick up and it's always ready. I like that they have sauces for grab without an extra cost.. They do have some you have to pay extra for like the garlic butter. OMG that is so good. I do feel like the lunch menu is kind of pricey. Being most of the meals are like 17.99+ tax so you're looking at $20 for lunch. I like it though so they'll probably see me about once a month.

    The food here is absolutely incredible--every dish bursts with authentic Korean flavors that transport you straight to Seoul. The bulgogi is tender and perfectly marinated, while the kimchi jjigae has just the right amount of heat and depth. Even the side dishes are a delight, from crispy jeon to refreshing pickled radish. You can taste the care and tradition in every bite. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Korean cuisine, this place delivers a memorable feast. I left completely satisfied and already craving more. Highly recommended for anyone seeking bold, comforting, and delicious food.

    Chicken teriyaki bowl
    Jenny T.

    Went on their grand opening day and the line went out the door and wrapped around the side building. But that was too long for me to wait and ended up coming the next day and pretty much every other day because I had a few coupons to use! Day 1: :) Chicken teriyaki (4 STARS) bowl - Grilled chicken w/white rice and some veggies. I can taste the char in the chicken and have a light teriyaki sauce on top. The veggies was just blanched but it was fine for me since some of the sauce lingered into the vegs. :) Dragon roll (4 STARS) - unagi and avocado on top of a cali roll. It was good! :) Honey walnut shrimp roll (4 STARS) - This roll was extra saucy and I thought the walnuts worked well with sushi Day 3: :) Dragon roll again (4 STARS) :) Seared salmon roll (4 STARS) - This roll was extra saucy and had a light seared salmon on top of cali roll Day 5: :) Ribeye beef bowl (4 STARS) - The meat was sliced extremely thin and kinda minced up. The flavor was good but wish the beef wasn't so hacked up and had bigger biteable sized. :( So, I tried to order the combo Chicken and beef teriyaki bowl, they gave me the Chicken teriyaki bowl. My bad for not checking before I left the restaurant. I didn't go back to dispute it b/c I used a buy 1 get 1 free coupon Day 6: :( Lion King rolls (2 STARS) - The rice makes a big difference, it was so bland that it ruined the entire roll. Also, they didn't bake it long enough, so, it was cold in the center. Overall, good customer service, pretty quick service, and every bowl comes with a drink. Seems to be a good go-to for quick and freshly made bowls!

    Chicken and Shrimp Bento 3/5
    Keen B.

    Came in here to check out whats good. After my kids got their free cub meals from Panda Express. This store used to be Jamba Juice before someone decided to run their car into it. I decided on the Chicken and Shrimp Bento, it was $17 with Tax included. I thought it was a solid 3 out of 5. Chicken had good sear to the meat and it had great flavor to it. The Shrimp on the other hand was cooked good but lacking flavor. Barely any seasoning to the shrimp. Don't let the picture fool you. It was all rice in the bottom. It had little to no meat! Service was fast with 7-8 workers! Inside had plenty of seats and tables to eat at. Came in just before 1pm. It was pretty busy and the crowd was good. All the tables were full. Parking lot was also full. It's a hit and miss type of situation with parking. Parking lot is shared with Subway, Cold Stone Creamy nextdoor. Also Lucky supermarket, Peets coffee and other stores. Will probably come back and try other items.

    Ballon's up still very nice! 1/27/2026

    Walked in was greeted very warmly. I was asked how did I hear about the Teriyaki Grill? I said I saw it at Costco. Grand opening and Lovely Mimi and Raina would be here. He said that is nice my wife would love to hear this. He was very polite and kind to everyone. I ordered the special. Teriyaki chicken bowl and double shrimp sushi. I usually don't like grilled chicken anything. The bowl was so delicious. Mines was nice and hot and plenty of chicken. Very filling. I ate the double shrimp sushi. I didn't care for it! Maybe bc it was 2 different shrimp. However, it was so pretty plated. I will try other sushi's next time. They had a fruit punch drink. So delicious! More places need the option they have. Root beer, Dr. pepper, fruit punch Starry and raspberry tea! Love their choices. Overall such a great experience. Had plenty of sauces for my convenience. The food was fresh. Easy to order and hot! The veggies were also very good. I will drive from Oakland to Hayward again to patronize this one. Really really great customer service! Worth my drive. Thank You

    Grand opening of teriyaki city grill today! I got the teriyaki chicken bowl and a fountain drink. The service was quick and there are booths for seating indoors. I would come here for a casual and quick lunch or dinner. They serve a variety of teriyaki bowls and sushi rolls. Prices are reasonable. I will have to try more on the menu next time and definitely will be back!

    Grand opening 1/22 we arrive 6pm after work. Lines long -- okay understandable. Their grand opening limits 1x 6.99 special chicken bowl per person. Me, wife and kid, family of 3 are here. The cashier questions whether my kid is actually going to eat the chicken bowl. Perhaps as a way to limit this grand opening deal. That's just weird behavior. Lastly we try to get an entire California roll à la carte, but was denied because they only sell it as an up charge $3.00 if you get a bento. Overall first impression not great. Foods whatever. Come if you're hungry and looking for a better meal than fast food. At least they have a dedicated parking lot.

    Spicy chicken bowl, butter chicken bowl and 10 dumplings.
    Akilah B.

    Three Stars: I stopped by Teriyaki City Hayward during their grand opening weekend after passing by and decided to give them a try on Sunday, January 25th. They did have a special deal going on, but I opted for regularly priced items. I ordered a spicy chicken teriyaki bowl, a butter chicken teriyaki bowl, both with brown rice, and an order of 10 dumplings. Unfortunately, I was disappointed once I got home, which is only about five minutes away. Both teriyaki bowls were completely cold. The chicken, broccoli, and carrots were all cold, as if they had been sitting out for some time. The only item that was warm were the dumplings, which made me wonder if the bowls had been prepared earlier and held while waiting for the dumplings to be freshly made. I've posted photos for reference. Flavor-wise, the spicy chicken was not spicy enough for me and the seasoning overall was pretty underwhelming. There was nothing particularly memorable about the flavors, and everything leaned more toward fast food vibes rather than a specialty teriyaki experience. I also waited in the restaurant for quite a while before my number was called, so I was surprised that the food was not hot or even warm when served. Additionally, miso soup is listed on the menu but is not currently being served, and ice cream was advertised inside the restaurant but also unavailable. It would be helpful to clearly note these items as not yet offered, especially during a grand opening. I understand opening weekends can be hectic, and I may give them another try once the hype dies down. That said, for $36, the experience was underwhelming.

My friend Holly drove all the way from Sacramento so I was keen to make the trip special in every way. Conveniently located, the restaurant accepts reservations, and there is an option to be seated at regular tables or in a lovely traditional Japanese styled seating area, where you dine seated cross legged! The only hitch is if you do plan to enjoy this seating you must come with socks. Lucky for us, we were able to buy a couple pair of nylons to enjoy the traditional set up! For dinner, we chose the omakase option, which is the chef's choice of some of the most fresh delicate and buttery sushi I've had in a long time. The size of the nigiri was just right, proportioned well with not too much rice and garnishes where it actually made sense as an enhancement, versus a detractor from the freshness of the fish. I also took a chance to order an appetizer of fried chicken knees! They were tasty and exactly how you might imagine them as gristly chewy and very satisfying for an adventurous eater like myself! We finished our meal with a lovely mound of mochi! The staff was so kind and very accommodating, especially after learning my friend had traveled so far to dine with them.
