This is a 3.5 but as Yelp only allows whole stars I've put a 3. The place is very nicely set up inside and has a pleasant feel. The menu is large and easily readable. The customer service has been nice both times I've view visited. The food is good. I've had the fried dumplings both times I've been and they're cool. As with the Pork Katsu and Chicken Soba I've had. No complaints just no wow for me. This is in my lunch rotation but just not near my top choices. read more

I don't give one star reviews often but this place earned it! I've heard numerous good reviews about this place, local community swears by it. I stopped by yesterday afternoon for a to-go order. First, the old man has language barrier issues which contributed to me receiving the wrong menu item than what I ordered. This was not realized until the food made it all the way back home. I called to give them a heads up that I would be driving back and need my correct food. When I arrived to correct the order, the lady wanted me to pay $5 extra to correct their mistake. Until I explained multiple times that the receipt was correct, the order was not, and I left a tip. With the correct food in hand, I was excited- I love Chicken Katsu! I was dead wrong. The Katsu was flavorless, dry, and very low quality chicken (very fatty). The proportions of rice/veggies to meat was ridiculous for prices ($12.50+ for basic entree). The curry was the nastiest curry I've ever seen or tasted, canned/frozen tastes better and is more fresh. The lack of customer service and low quality of food all contribute to why I will never visit this locally owned establishment again. read more

The appetizers were good that's where it kind of Pete when the main meals came out the teriyaki beef and teriyaki chicken were very dry and it wasn't marinated correctly rice was good they did know how to cook rice but they need some help with their main meat courses read more

Really good, took a while but definitely worth it . The veg dumplings were everything read more

Teriyaki Kitchen - Chicken Teriyaki with white rice and potato salad - Japanese Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food isn't bad, but there's hardly ever anyone there and when someone is there to take your order, they are kind of rude.

Went here for lunch during our first day in Houston. The service was good, very friendly workers. I ordered the teriyaki chicken plate with white rice and you pick a side between cole slaw, veggies, and potato salad. I chose the potato salad. Sat at a little table in the corner, the decor is homey inside. There was a decent crowd for lunch. The restaurant is clean and well kept on the inside. Overall the chicken was pretty good and the teriyaki sauce was tasty. Some of the pieces of chicken kind of looked like steak that's how dark they were..but overall it was good. The rice was a good compliment to the chicken and there was additional sauce available at the table if you needed it. The potato salad had great flavor, a little strange on the texture, it was like a little thicker than cream cheese consistency. Overall it was a good choice and great price! I would definitely visit again. read more

I LOVEEE THIS PLACE , I have been here a few times and the food and service is always consistent , 10/10

The food here is amazing. I'm not a big fan of teriyaki, but I definitely will come back! I loved the chicken teriyaki. The flavor of the chicken and the taste of it was amazing! The shrimp fried right was really delicious. It was tasty and had a good amount of vegetables! The flavors are great and there's not need to add any extra sauces to it. The staff was very nice and very attentive. I love the overall atmosphere of the place. And how chill it is inside :) read more

Looooooooooooove this place! Where do I start? Have been here a couple times and tried a couple things and have loved everything! My favorite and go-to is the teriyaki chicken plate with potato salad as the side. I love the teriyaki sauce they put on the chicken which is why I love them even more for leaving you a whole freaking bottle of that sauce on the table at your disposal. Both the regular and the spicy as well as some chili. My friend got the shrimp fried rice and I was pleasantly surprised! It was a little on the stickier side and not dry like typical fried rice but I thought it was good. It was really savory and had a lot of shrimp flavor. We saw that they had something called "special fries" on the menu so of course we had to order it. Fries. Cheese. Teriyaki chicken. So good! This place has a special place in my heart! read more

Oops I did it again...I came here two days in a row, but let me explain! I was in the area for training, and since lunch was not provided, I had to hunt for my own food. I'm not too familiar with the area so I relied on my handy yelp app to tell me where to go. Teriyaki Kitchen popped up with a ton of positive reviews....bingo. Location: The restaurant is located in a shopping strip that seemed a bit shady. There was a tattoo/piercing parlor and a jewelry store covered with burglar bars...tons of parking though. Interior: very small - there are only 7 tables so it fills up very quickly especially during lunchtime. Appears pretty clean and well maintained - I can usually judge based on how well they keep their condiment bottles clean. Service: the young lady at the counter is very nice and efficient. You order, grab a number and your utensils and drinks, and she brings you the food. It looks like a family owned restaurant, and you can see how hard they work to keep it running smoothly. Food: yummmmm...the tofu and spicy chicken teriyaki plates are sooo good. The food is made when you place your order so you may have to wait 5-10 minutes, but everything is pippin' hot and fresh when it arrives. Everything is flavorful even without the sauce so they just drizzle a bit which I appreciate dearly. Lets me know they're not trying to hide anything. The portion size is also pretty big so I recommend sharing. I did notice a lot of people ordering the chicken soba and bento boxes. If I'm ever in the area again, I will return and try those. Overall, I think it's a great place to go for a fast, quality meal. I was in and out within 30 minutes. The meal was satisfying, AND I was not late to getting back to my training. Winning! read more

Kind of a hole in the wall kind of place but such GOOD food. I always get the chicken terriyaki plate (more on that later) but tried the kimchi friees for the first time and I AM A FAN! The kimchi is made by the owners wife and was the perfect balance of sour, spicy and crunchy. I got the terriyaki plate for the first time with fried rice (instead of rice) and I was not a fan. It had corn and kind of a sweet sauce instead of soy sauce. I personally didn't like it but if you like sweet fried rice - it might be your thing! Prices are reasonable and parking can be a hassle since the lot is kind of small but I've never had an issue. read more

I've been feeling like Spring Branch is unimpressive in terms of restaurants, so this was a pleasant discovery. My coworkers recommended it so I had to check it out. I had the spicy chicken with extra veggies instead of rice. The extra veggies are raw-ish cabbage and whatnot, but I enjoyed it a lot more than I do rice. The chicken definitely had a nice little kick without being overwhelming. The chicken and vegetable fried dumplings had a crisp exterior and flavorful filling. I didn't care for the sauce that came with them as I tasted the flavor of ketchup. For ~$10 total and 2 portions, it's priced pretty well. You can also order and pay online, which is nice. I will definitely be back! read more

This place is right around the corner from my house so I thought I would give it a try. Dont let the outside fool you, the inside is warm and cozy with tables that can seat 2 to 4. Dumplings - 5 pieces - good, I really liked the dipping sauce that came with it, but the dumplings were good on their own too. Miso Soup - some of the best I've had. Some places have a lot of broth and one or two pieces of tofu or seaweed, this place didnt skimp. Flavor was savory and I could drink the broth straight. TK Bento Box with Beef - yassss. Fried shrimp and veggies were good. The beef and rice were good. 4 pieces of cali were good. Surprise on the plate for me was the potato salad. It was more of a thicker, glueir cold mashed potato concoction than a traditional American potato salad, but I really liked it and I hate most normal potato salads. Pricing is cheap! Location is convenient for me. Food came out hot and fresh and they staggered it so I got my soup, dumpling then Bento with minor overlaps. Of you are in Spring Branch try this place out. read more

Teriyaki Kitchen - Veg noodles - Japanese Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food was delicious. I had the combo plate, chicken & spicy pork. Enjoyed the pork more but chicken was also good. Now, I would have given them a 5 star rating but the fact that I got lectured or maybe schooled is a better word by the cashier about placing an order online & then proceeding to eat there. I was told that I couldn't place my order online & then eat there. That the walk in clients came first. That if I ordered online, maybe, just maybe I can sit if they had enough tables. That took my appetite away a little. I was approached again by the cashier & was told that her manager said that it was okay for me to order online & eat there after all. I will be back but for now, the rating they get from me is a 3 Star. And got an order ready for pick up over an hour later...lol read more

I decided to try this place based on reviews. I understand this place is fairly new so I hope they read and take action. Pros - I ordered my food online. The website is very user friendly. When I arrived my food was already ready which was less time than originally quoted. Also the customer service was great! Cons - I asked for extra sauce but did not get it. I also asked for extra napkins but didn't get those either. There's more veggies than meat and I'd swear some of the cabbage was spoiled. I ended up throwing the plate away since I didn't want to risk getting sick. read more

My husband and I decided to stop here on a whim. I ordered the chicken teriyaki with white rice and broccoli. My husband got the same thing, but beef instead of chicken. The chicken was delicious, not dry and flavored well. The broccoli was nothing special, it was not seasoned, but it was cooked well. However, the beef teriyaki was another story... It was very thin slices of beef and the flavor was not as good. I'd definitely recommend the chicken and stay away from the beef. As we both love Teriyaki Madness, it can be a bit far to drive some nights. So this is a good option that is close by. read more

Unbelievable good cheap eats! Everything is made well, quality of food for price is outstanding and taste so good! I have been here several times now and probably would eat here more if I lived closer to the restaurant. This is a family run business and everything about the restaurant shows how much the business means to them. Service is always friendly and professional. Restaurant is always cleaned. Everything is great on the menu! read more

Honestly better than what I was expecting for the name. Food was great, especially the curry.

My fiancé and I love to support local businesses. We saw that this place was a hot and new establishment so we decided to try it out for dinner recently. We ordered: TK special fries 4/5 - Fries were crispy and full of flavor but not anything different from other places. fried dumplings 4/5 - it was good but it wasn't amazing. Beef soba noodles 3/5 - it needed more flavor. We added the spicy teriyaki sauce on top to give it more flavor. The owner was very nice and talked to us about their menu and what they stood for. I loved the fact that all of their sauces are made in house with no MSG. We are definitely coming back to try other items on the menu. read more

YUMMMMM First of all, it can be a little hard to find from the outside because it's not super brightly lit or big or anything. But inside is super cute and clean, unlike most other korean restaurants in the area. Order at the counter and sit at a table and food is delivered pretty quickly. I've had their spicy chicken teriyaki, pork cutlet (donkatsu), special fried rice, and dumplings. All were fresh and hot, flavorful without being overbearing or salty or MSG-y, HUGE PORTIONED, and just yummy. Service was great. I've seen reviews at other asian restaurants say that they're only nice to fellow Asians. Myself being Asian, I'm treated well at Asian restaurants. However, there were a couple of non-Asians that walked in during the hour I was there, and the owner couple made sure to not only get their orders, but also make some small talk, which always makes any experience a bit more personable. I couldn't decide what to get and the sweet owner lady said, "just order something different everytime you come!" i guess i'll be going often then. hehe. read more

Now I consider a restaurant cheap if a person can get fed (full) with $10 or less and at this place I was able to get 2 entrees (that come with a side too) AND an appetizer for under $20. We ended up getting: 1) The Spicy Chicken which was lightly spicy (I would have preferred if it was a bit spicier); however, the chicken was very juicy and tasty. Mix the chicken sauce with the white rice and everything is very flavorful. The coleslaw that I got (as my side) was pretty flavorful (though the missus felt that it had too much mayo) and I liked it. 2) The Teriyaki Chicken was absolutely delicious and juicy. It was sweet and lightly salty and I kept taking little bites of (since it's my girlfriend's plate). She felt that the fried rice was "meh" and I felt the same as well. 3) The dumplings were nice and crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The sauce that was given with the dumplings was lemoney and paired with the dumplings quite well. Overall: I would definitely come back here since its a) cheap, b) flavorful, and c) very close by. I'd recommend giving this place a try if you're nearby and hungry for some good chicken! read more

A great little lunch spot. Tiny, so sometimes they run out of seating. Easy place to get something delicious and even healthy, should you choose. Decent prices and good portions. Also their Teriyaki sauce is quite tasty. read more

Had a company meeting around lunch time and came with some coworkers. Food: I had their Beef and Chicken Teriyaki combo plate with rice and potato salad. Chicken was cooked moist and the beef came out tender! It had a good amount of teriyaki sauce on top and the food came out hot! I also enjoyed their dumplings and waffle fries appetizers! Overall: They just opened last week and they have a nice cornered area. They have a nice selection of beef/chicken/pork katsu plates, box combos, California rolls, shrimp tempura, udon & soba noodles, fried rice and not to forget their bulgogi sandwich! They don't have a lot of places like this in Spring Branch, so if you want some good food with some asian influences, I would highly recommend this place! read more

For a place that just opened about a week ago... The speed of service was surprisingly fast! You order at the front counter and sit down until they bring the food to you. I was recently here with 6 other people for a business lunch. We all ordered at the same time and the food came out within 3-4 minutes! Taste - delicious! Just add a bit of chili paste and some extra Teriyaki sauce to the steaming hot teriyaki chicken (or beef) and rice on your plate and you're good to go ;) I am a fan and will be back to try the other dishes on the menu. read more

I have been jonesing for reasonably priced Japanese food for a while now, and had nothing else going on yesterday. So I drove up the Beltway to Teriyaki Kitchen, and am glad I did. Got there after the lunch rush, and there was no one else in the place but me. I wasn't all that concerned about that, because outside of their Muzak it was nice and calm. There was so much good stuff on their menu, so I ended up deciding on the pork katsu plate, with brown rice and potato salad. Kind of like a Hawaiian plate lunch, but definitely different. You get 2 sides with the main plates, some with additional costs. The katsu was perfectly fried, with the right amount of panko crunch and moistness in the meat. The only thing I'd say that they need is to give you more katsu sauce, because I went through the cup of sauce pretty quickly (they give you 2 pork cutlets, which is a lot). The brown rice was pretty forgettable, but it is healthier than white rice. You can order fried rice for an extra fee, and next time I might just do that. Now, I have to talk about the potato salad separately. It's really more like the consistency of mashed potatoes, with a nice sweet taste to it. I think the style is more Japanese, but I definitely liked it. I'd recommend it for the novelty and the fact that it's pretty good. Plus, there's no additional charge. The people that work there aren't overly outgoing, but they're not unfriendly either, they just keep their distance from their customers. One guy came in for ice for his drink, and perhaps he worked next door because they knew him and were fine with him. Overall, it was really good food, right on the cusp of being a little pricey but not over the line yet. I say try them out. I'll be back to check out the teriyaki and the other dishes. read more

Mind blowingly good. I usually hate when people describe their food so pretentiously, (I mean food is supposed to taste good amirite?) but this place was different. I ordered the Tofu Soba noodle plate, but what I got was an experience. My taste buds danced and shimmied with each successive bite. I added some chili paste to amp up the heat and got the most pleasurable slap in the face you could ever imagine. This meal made me want to move to Houston. I'm currently looking for apartments. Everything else you've ever eaten is trash compared to this. If you ever go to jail, make this your last meal and you're soul will be saved. Bless whoever cooked my meal last night. I hope you have a beautiful day, week, and life. read more

Not the biggest fan of teriyaki in general but my teenager LOVES it here. However she's never been one for leftovers and in my house there is a 36-hour rule. If it's in the fridge for over 36 hours, it's a free for all. And they have some tasty dishes here. LOVE their fried rice & their beef and spicy pork combo plate is pretty good too. I must try it fresh one day. Good stuff! read more

A great little place to grab a quick bite. I ordered the dumplings and spicy pork and teriyaki chicken combo plate. I like that you have an option to get brown rice instead of white. It didn't take long for my good to come out and it was nice and hot. Very tasty and a decent price. read more
