I was surprised to find it tucked away. Run with a more Japanese feel, the food was lighter though the teriyaki sauce was just as salty. There was a lot of rice and a great salad with a sweet dressing. Also, it was very fresh! I had enough for two meals and there were SO MANY options!! I can't wait to come back and try some more!! there's a small parking lot and a small seating area. Not to mention, the kitchen is right there so it's quite loud inside. read more

I had the beef and chicken combo plate.. I loved the steak better than the chicken myself. The service was fast and had my order taken care as requested (steak, chichén, half rice and steamed veggies).. A pretty chill spot, not high end for those looking for something fancy. I give it a 9 of 10, I see myself making frequent stops in the future. read more

I love this place! The restaurant changed hands a few weeks ago to a young male owner. I tried their Tiger Roll, and as you can see in the picture, it's huge. You can try high-quality foods at a reasonable price here. The owner here is also handsome and friendly. I highly recommend this place! read more

Teriyaki Express - Chicken brown rice veggie bowl $6.25 total included tax and 10% off yelp. Great portion, good fresh food - Japanese Near Me - Fullerton, California

In the history of the NBA, we witnessed players who were great shooters, great rebounders, great scorers and great passers. The names are countless. And I could probably write all day naming all of them. But I don't want to do that. I'll save that review after I visit the The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts in the future. But who had the all around great package? The one player who could do everything? I'm a huge teriyaki fan. I love teriyaki. I've tried bad teriyaki to average to good. But these teriyaki places were missing something. Either they had no value, small portions or it flat out tasted average. We all know Flame Broiler now. They are the king with the most locations in California. However, their biggest flaw is that their portions have shrunk over the years and I feel like I'm not getting my money's worth. It was probably the first to utilize green onions on top and have Louisiana Hot Sauce as their sauce of choice (although Huy Fong's Sriracha is the top sauce of choice for me with teriyaki). They have the almighty and untouchable magic sauce, but that alone can't help this until a plate is less than $9 and provides bigger portions. The chicken are thick cuts of juicy meat grilled to perfection. The steak (more like beef) are medium cuts grilled well done. It reminds me of bulgogi (which is a Korean style marinated beef), but thicker and tastier and less watery. Bulgogi is notorious for having too much water come out as it's grilled. The salad with dressing - I love how they use both compartments for the salad. Many places use 1 compartment for salad and an egg roll, gyoza (fried dumpling) or a slice of fruit. I like salad more with my teriyaki so I love the use of both compartments. The dressing is a clean tasting Asian inspired dressing that has a bit of a kick with the generous amount of black pepper that goes in it. It's one of the better salad dressings for a teriyaki restaurant out there. The teriyaki sauce is lighter in color and has that sweet and savory taste we are accustomed to eating. It's not as rich as Flame Broiler's magic sauce, but it's a nice teriyaki sauce. I love the sauce station. There are already Huy Fong Food's Sriracha (David Trans famous sauce) and a bottle of squeezable teriyaki sauce on each table, but there is another station that has more supplies of the two. That's not the end of it. You can grab sliced ginger, jalapenos and even put as much green onions as you want. Isn't that awesome? Chicken Bowl $5.45 Chicken Plate $6.95 Steak Bowl $6.05 Steak Plate $7.95 Santa Fe Plate (chicken and beef with 3 pieces of grilled shrimp) $8.75 Brown rice is an extra charge of $0.50 for bowls and $1.00 for plates. Extra chicken $1.50 Extra steak $1.95 Extra white meat $1.50 Avocado $1.25 Throughout his career, he was a fairly underrated player that essentially gave his team points, rebounds, steals and assists. In London, he was a huge spark off the bench and someone you might not recognize before he rose to prominence this year proving he can do a bit of everything. Teriyaki Express is like the Andre Iguodala of the Warriors and the newly crowned Finals MVP. read more

A hidden gem up in fullerton and a perfect place to dine right after school. I got the number 12 which is a combo plate with chicken and beef and let me tell you. The meat was juicy and the rice was perfectly moist. Loved how the inside looked, reminded me of like a pho restaurant with the sauces on the tables. Definitely will swing by again to try their other plates especially the popcorn chicken and the sushi. read more

Best lunch specials, great price, plenty of delicious food, quick service. I would recommend this place if you like sushi and teriyaki!

At first you think this restaurant is a typical teriyaki bowl place but once the food comes you realize that the quality is at least a couple notches above. I wondered why it was so busy but then I got my combination bowl absolutely full of beef and chicken on top of perfect rice. The beef and chicken do not have fat or skin and are not hidden in some kind of a sticky sauce. Instead this sauce is served in squeeze bottles on the table so you can add a little or a lot. The quality of the teriyaki sauce is very good and I think it is probably made in house. It is thinner than most lighter than most and not sticky sweet. Besides the teriyaki, they also have sushi rolls and Japanese sides like gyoza. read more

If you're up to a quick, good teriyaki plates/bowls, this is the place to be. Very affordable yet decent in taste. I ordered the beef teriyaki bowl and I loved it. They give ample serving as well that satisfied my (very) hungry tummy at that time. read more

They have amazing sushi . I always call to make a phone order and every time it's a satisfying experience!!

What a nice surprise to find this hidden gem so close to my office! I've driven by this area thousands of times and was never aware of this small but clean and super tasty restaurant! I had the bento combo and I was really impressed with the food quality and presentation, even if it was take out it was hot and delicious by the time I got back to my office, congrats to the owner which I believe was the gentleman at the front counter, I most definitely will be back here again very soon! THANKS ALOT! I'm sorry I couldn't take any pics this time which I always do but I was enjoying my meal too much!!! LOL read more

Apart from the sketchy parking lot, this place is worth trying to find parking for. Really great staff as they do a great job preparing food for their customers. The customer service is great and food tastes amazing. It's the best spot in the entire plaza. read more

Firsts off, I've never been here before, so when I parked in their lot, the delicious smell of their food bright me. I wasn't even coming here to grab anything to eat, but man oh man I can tell that by the smell and great service up front. Well, this food is going to be gooooood! read more

Great food and service. Always come here for lunch and the taste doesnt miss. Would recommend

Nice spot, nice food, and great prices! This is one of my favorite spots to grab a quick bite! The teriyaki steak or chicken are both equally as good, I normally get the combo and it's half and half of both... today I ordered the baked salmon roll and the cashier warned us it takes 15 minutes to make but I don't mind because at least I know it's fresh! The roll itself is only $10 but boy is it worth it! Almost had to order a second one lol highly recommended trying this spot out if you haven't already. read more

Teriyaki chicken was fire. I really liked their white rice with that. The salad dressing was good too. That special was only $13 Which wasn't bad at all.. Only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 stars: The pre-made cali sushi (it comes with the combo so I don't think all rolls are pre made just the cali roll). Other than that.. good food. Nice prices, check it out. read more

The food service is fast and the employees are very respectful and welcoming. The food is very delicious and filling.

Very hidden, but very good! Although I have an immense love for teriyaki bowls, I would recommend this to anyone who likes them. Yes, it is just another teriyaki bowl hole-in-the-wall, but nobody can beat these prices. Also super fast service and pretty friendly. read more

This is a no-frills spot but the food is good! It's a family-owned restaurant and the lady at the counter/cashier/owner is very nice. This place is the best when we're craving a rice bowl. Their teriyaki chicken with veggies and steak teriyaki with veggie bowl are great and under $10 each. Meat is hot and grilled, veggies are fresh. We always get 2 rice bowls and a baked salmon roll (takes 15mins to make) and 2 of us are full for lunch + extra food for an afternoon snack/early dinner. Their sushi rolls are HUGE in size! read more

This is what Teriyaki is all about! Teriyaki Express is located on the northern side of Orangethorpe, just past State College Blvd. I don't have a lengthy review, as good teriyaki is good teriyaki--- I was surprised at the portions, they give you LARGE portions, take a look at the pics on their page. I really liked the chicken, it was tender, not drowned in sauce, and you get a healthy salad to eat with your meal. Avoid the flame-broiler and their stingy portions, check out Teriyaki Express! 85 read more

Really good teriyaki ! I got the steak bowl and it was so good. Definitely better than any flame broiler or waba grill, that's for sure ! I saw someone post that the teriyaki sauce was too salty which I don't agree with. I thought it was good sauce ! Overall really great ! read more

So beyond disappointed by this place. I've only been here once but once is enough to write a very strong review. This place is super close to my work. I walk here it's that close and I love to exercise. Waba grill is my go to place cus it's delish but I wanted to try this place because the reviews are so great. I got the beef bowl without rice and veggies. My order came out in under 5 minutes. I was super impressed. I'm like damn, service is fast. Things are looking good! The staff was also sweet. Parking can be a challenge if you drive as the complex is small. But I walked so that was not an issue for me. During lunch time it can get busy but not to an overwhelming point. The little joint seemed clean and there are tables inside if you want to dine in. All in all, a good place from the outside looking in. However.... I got instant food poising while eating the food here. Just after the first few bites, I could tell my tummy was starting to hurt. I figured it was nothing and continued eating. The beef was super chewy and it didn't seem to be cooked right. That should have been my first clue to stop eating. I was hungry though so I kept going. Finally, after eating a little less than half of it, I couldn't take the pain anymore. It was a very sharp pain. I went to the bathroom and didn't throw up, but the other thing def happened : / I felt horrible for the rest of the day and even some the next day. I feel like everyone that gives this place 5 stars is a friend or family member. Even if I didn't get instant food poisoning, I still wouldn't have given this place a 4 or 5 stars because I've had way better teriyaki. I don't understand how someone can compare this place to Waba. It does not compare at all. It's not as flavorful and the meat is just blah. Portions are big and prices are okay, but I will not be back. After suffering from instant food poisoning, I am steering wayyyy clear! read more

Generous portions, low prices, and incredibly quick food assembly. If you're in the area, this place is hard to beat. I really enjoyed the chicken and steak combo bowl with brown rice - and I wish I had added vegetables as well. Next time... The steak was a tad grisly, not the *best* quality steak, but in a $5 lunch bowl I wasn't expecting tenderloin. The chicken was great. Their standard teriyaki sauce is a tad sweet and syrupy, but I assume most people like that. I might ask for "less sauce" next time. Lunch bowls come in a convenient microwaveable bowl with a clear lid. Makes it fun to order a second bowl in case you need to defensively gather snack foods for later on down the road where your only hot food option might be a gas station burrito. read more

Teriyaki Express is a hidden gem here in fullerton. If you are looking for some tasty asian food, and don't want to break the bank, this is your spot. I ordered the chicken and beef bowl and once that tender meat touched my lips, i became an instant fan. The chicken and beef are both cooked to perfection and is nice and tender. There is a good proportion of meat to rice, which i really liked, and for $6? What a steal!!! The customer service here is way above par, in which they are friendly and get your food to you fast. I literally ordered and sat down for 2 minutes and my food was ready. I even questioned if that was my food or not, and the cashier reassured me it was. I ordered a side of miso soup to compliment my teriyaki bowl, and was very satisfied by the large portion and nice miso taste. Definitely recommend checking out this hidden gem, you won't leave disappointed! read more

Teriyaki Express - Fast service, good food and always clean! - Japanese Near Me - Fullerton, California

the food was okay they for most of my order and then made me re order it, its too expensive and not worth your money.not ordering it again

Decided to give this place a try instead of a flame broiler or waba grill. The location is in a plaza which appears to be a bit seclusive and the inside of the restaurant is small, nice, and quiet, that is aside from the chef cooking that tasty food. The quality of the food is delicious. I chose to go with the steak bowl and California rolls. First thing I noticed was the meat, you get alot more than broiler. The rice and meat tasted way better than waba and broiler. Even smelled way better as I was opening the bowl. I decided to eat at the location and I noticed they were quick with service!!! They offer: bowls, plates, bento boxes, rolls, tempura, salads, side orders, and also do catering. Not quite sure if there are other locations, but it's the first I've been to and I was very impressed with quality of service and food. Also, checked in with yelp and got 10% off order. read more

Teriyaki Express - 4 pc California rolls & Steak bowl - Japanese Near Me - Fullerton, California

First time here. Needed something conveniently close to my new job since I only get the fastest moving 30 minutes. Found them on Yelp (a lot of good reviews, so I'm taking your word for it). I ordered the chicken/steak veggie bowl via phone and it was ready as soon as I got here. Small dining area, which is fine. Tasty food, perfect portion, reasonably priced. Too bad they're not on UberEATS. 30 minutes flies fast. I'll definitely be back though. Good eats. read more

Thought this place was good... until I found a hair in my food. So gross. Doesn't really matter how good something tastes if its not even sanitary. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by the way the place looked. My boyfriend and I stayed and ate there for merely 10 minutes because he couldn't stand the atmosphere. There were flies that kept bothering us, and it just didn't feel like a welcoming environment overall. Some tables are right next to the kitchen with only a small curtain as the divider. I'm aware that this place is new and they're probably still learning a lot about starting a business, which I can understand. However, they have A LOT to work on. Thanks for the 10% off for checking in, but after finding that hair in my food I'm sorry I even checked this place out. Id go back and demand a refund if I wasn't so damn tired. read more

+Really tasty food! +Reasonably priced. +Wish they were open on weekends. +Parking does suck! Tip: Turn into the lot where Subway is or you will be faced with cars leaving the lot coming at you and parking spaces in the opposite direction. The in-arrow to the lot is a lie!! read more
