Pretty good teriyaki chicken, had the spicy teriyaki chicken bowl, thought it was spiced perfectly and very tasty. The establishment is small, we order online and the food came out about 10 minutes which was the expected time per the online order. One of the servers was cleaning up and made it a point to say hello and a tell me she hoped I had a great night. We will be back if we are ever on this side of town. We came over from the west side just to eat here and it was worth the 25 minute drive! read more

If you order online if your order says it's ready at 7:30. You can expect it ready at 8:30. I think they don't know how to set their mountain time.. so then you have to call in your order the lady on the phone practically want to talk me out of making an order. She said it's gonna be a 30 minute wait is that OK? I don't understand how you have one thing on the menu and you can't hold up to the demand. 30 minutes for a walk-in teriyaki bowl you'll never keep any customers. read more

This was my first time in and im glad I stopped by. I ordered the spicy teryaki chicken bowl and upgraded to fried rice. The freshness of the ingredients and flavor of seasonings was awesome. Its cooked to order which adds to the quality. The servers were nice and the establishment was clean. read more

If at first you don't succeed, try try again...and I'm really happy I did. I often will not go back to a restaurant if I haven't been happy with my order previously, however, I was really in the mood for some good teriyaki and I thought I would go ahead and give this place another chance. I'm really happy that I did. This time the food was amazing. It definitely tasted like teriyaki chicken! It was full of sauce, and they also provided extra sauce on the side. The rice was done nicely and the veggies were delicious. This was exactly what I wanted! I ordered carry out and the service was fast and my order was correct. I haven't been inside the restaurant so I can't comment on the ambience. I'm super happy to report that my last meal there was perfect. I will definitely give them another chance and I hope you will as well. read more

Teriyaki Madness - Teriyaki chicken bowl - Japanese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Well, I thought I'd give it a try again. The food is really good. I've had it two times when they opened but the last four times I tried to go I left. Today I waited until about 1:30 to go and when I got there there were people sitting at every table +4 people standing I spoke with them. They all said they had ordered. Nobody had food yeah. Once again, I walked out people just don't have time for lunch like that. The strange thing is the advertise a while back that things have changed. And it didn't. Now there is a under new ownership sign on. The problems still exist. read more

Teriyaki Madness - Chicken breast - Japanese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I'm from Seattle so I wanna throw that out there cause anybody that knows anything about Seattle knows that we have a killer food scene. That being said you walk up and you can smell that barbecuing/grilling the chicken right everything smells good you make your order and $60 later for three plates of food you find out that these guys don't know their ass from their elbow. Completely disappointed, runny ass teriyaki sauce, maybe like 3/4 of a chicken thigh a massive pile of rice and vegetables that's how they make up and justify a $15 bowl. I ordered three large bowls, three egg rolls and six piece crab Rangoon. 60 fucking dollars it should've been piled high with chicken, but it had maybe about eight pieces of chicken in it. They don't flatten it out so it doesn't get that good grill effect all over it. The rice is mushy. The noodles were pretty good, but that was about it. It was like meah best. Never going back to this place. The guy at the front counter got into an argument with a DoorDash guy about whose job was what he should've just did his job and helped out the customer and then brag about how good the stuff was well they don't really know any better because this is all they have down here. New Mexico sucks as a whole, but this place really stands out in a bag of suck. My kid was definitely disappointed because he loves my teriyaki chicken. The orange chicken was bragged about to be so crispy and so tasty when I got home. It was a pile of mush. It's the absolute overall consensus of New Mexicans to brag about how good their food is well they don't know any better because this is the land of entrapment most of the people that have been here bragging about how good their food is don't know any better because they haven't been anywhere else. read more

I la la la loved this place. It's awesome. A few tips: if you're able to pick up your order, you'll save yourself about 10 dollars by avoiding the delivery fees. I order the two protein (terriyaki steak and chicken breast) option with veggies and extra sauce. It's so incredible. They're quick and reasonably priced. The portions are large and easy for two to share a large meal. read more

Good Food! Staff was friendly and interacted with customers. Wait was 25 minutes. Worth it. The portions are huge. You get to pick from three different bowl sizes. You can add double protein. You have an option of fried rice, brown rice, or white rice. You can choose your vegetables. The inside is small but clean and well maintained. read more

Teriyaki Madness - Teriyaki chicken bowl - Japanese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Had gotten coupons in the mail and decided to give this place a try. We went on Friday night and there was a constant stream of people in and out. Small shop with a few tables, but parking wasn't bad. Workers were friendly. Our order seemed to take a little longer compared to others that came in behind us though. Among the happy hour items (M-F 3-5 pm), the jr teriyaki chicken bowl was $4.99 (which the gal at the counter was nice enough to correct for us after giving the guy after us the discount, originally $9.09) and they also have 20% off for military. For $20 (with our coupon), we got two junior teriyaki chicken bowls with noodles/veggies and a regular sized spicy teriyaki bowl with fried rice. Flavor was good and chicken wasn't dry. This just might be our new favorite spot (and reminiscent of the original Teriyaki Chicken Bowl). 2024 #27 read more

It was horrible. The katsu was burnt, the noodles had a bitter taste and yum yum sauce tasted off. It was horrible. The fried rice was stuck together in globs. The food was just so bad. Wanted to try this and did and won't be returning. read more

I don't want to give this place a bad review.... But it's not that good for what you pay. The veggies are soggy and have a weird aftertaste. Like if they were frozen for too long... I don't know. I was hoping to like this place and maybe I got the wrong thing. You'll still get a better bowl for less money at Jack N' the box... the sauces on the table are all empty and they are gross, picture like a toddler handing you their kids tablet after they've been eating their favorite snacks by hand. That's what it feels like grabbing the soy sauce bottles. I instantly had the urge to go wash my hands... read more

Teriyaki Madness - Chicken Teriyaki Bowl with white rice - Japanese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I rarely review restaurants but my experience here was so bad I felt compelled to set some expectations. Pro: the food is actually pretty good. It's nice to be able to get vegetables with teriyaki (usually it comes with salad where I'm from) and both the meat and veggies were cooked well and tasted good. Con: this is the worst service I've ever experienced in Albuquerque. The first time I placed a pickup order online, which sends some unnecessary texts for a system I'll get into later. I missed the messages because I generally expect that when I place an order and receive a time to pick my order up, that will be the time to pick my order up. I got to the store well after my order should have been ready. The guy at the counter ignored me for five minutes while chatting and calling out door dash orders and finally asked if he could help me. Turns out, my order was not yet ready. Okay, sure. Maybe you're exceptionally busy tonight and short-staffed. While I waited for my order, three people came in, placed orders, got their orders, and left. It took 45 minutes from the time my order should have been ready for him to hand me my order. No apology, not even eye contact when he tossed the bag at me, let alone a comp for the bad service. I tried again a few days later, thinking that bad experience was probably a one-off. I place my order and this time I wait for the automated message system and follow its instructions. I check in, give it the time I expect to be there, and wait ten extra minutes to show up past that time. Order? Not only is it not ready, but a stream of people come in after me also picking up orders which aren't ready. The guy at the counter (same one as before) just shakes his head mournfully each time. "It's not ready yet," he says with absolutely no regret. "No, I'm not sure when it will be," he murmurs reverently like a prayer to the Patron Saint of Wasting People's Time and Charging Them Money for the Privilege. Even after padding the time it took and showing up late on purpose, I still waited 15 minutes for my food. This time it was ready a full hour from when I placed the order to when counter guy mumbled "sorry bout it" while he chucked my bag at me somehow without looking in even my general direction. So the bottom line is this place has decent food but exceptionally bad service. It could stand to have fewer mom jokes plastered on the walls, too. If you're going to provide a bad experience, maybe rethink the whole 90s Bart Simpson bad attitude vibe. read more

Smelt really good as we went to the ups store. We got dinner to go... sadly you can't get noodles and rice. One or the other. The spicy chicken bowl was, well for lack of a Better term, Awful. No flavor just Tabasco and burnt. As if they dunked it in Tabasco and cooked it. Pot stickers were rocks. Not sure if they were deep fried or what. But frozen and reheated and just nasty. They got thrown out the window. Those who tried the spicy bowl are now complaining of stomach pains. read more

Not great. In fact, not good. First of all, you know about the Kamikazi parking lot here, right? I won't go into it, but it's a challenge. Be careful, always. Secondly, small restaurant with limited seating. A little cooking smell infiltrated the dining area and there was a TV tuned to an African nature show for some reason, volume on (odd in a tiny area like this one) while some doofus offered his foot to a hippo's mouth. The Teriyaki Madness menu board here at this franchise doesn't mention the "Mad Spicy" sauce that the national chain boasts about, but the counterman and owner assured me they had it. Okay, sock it to me! Well, what a sad thing to arrive home and find that, not only was my Mad Spicy Teriyaki Steak bowl not mad-spicy, it wasn't spicy at all. Or especially good - just sweet. Oh, and I paid extra for that "Mad Spicy Sauce," but they just gave me plain Teriyaki Steak . . . oh well. There was a decent amount of protein in the large bowl, but - well, I just put a bunch of it into the fridge and reheated a burger I'd grilled yesterday, just so I could have some of the charred flavor I'd been craving. Veggies on the bowls were surprisingly skimpy. Proteins, as noted, were pretty well represented - just weren't very flavorful (although my wife's spicy chicken _did_ actually have a tiny dusting of spice and the char was much better than that on my steak - she liked it well enough that she thinks she'll return). Decent amount of base (soba noodles for me, brown rice for my wife), too, and it tasted all right. Other treats included seeing the owner viciously order that staff no longer give out her telephone number, recounting some unfortunate complaint that had reached her. And then seeing her lash out at the staff. Ugh. And, sorry, but you're the owner of a new franchise in the area - how about put on a smile and a welcoming face when new first-time customers come in? Maybe make eye contact? I mean, you're sitting on Yelp with under three stars shortly after your open - put in some work! The other staff were doing as well as they could in light of the Wicked Witch impression rolling off the owner, smiling and hustling. (Too bad they didn't get my order right; that would have gone a long way.) Oh, and while it's an order-at-the-counter/call-out-your-name place, they make sure to give you the opportunity to tip, with a jar for cash and a 15/20/25%/custom screen on the credit payment. So, for two of us it was $9.09 (junior spicy chicken bowl with brown rice and veggies), $15.79 ("Mad Steak" - not that it was what was served) with veggies and $1.50 noodles, $2 tax for $28.38. After the 15% tip (calculated on the total with tax - come on, man!) of $3.96 (that's absurd, really - $4 to hand me my stuff over the counter?) we left $32.34 at Teriyaki Madness. Along with any desire I might have had to return, I'm afraid. It's rare for me to do a review with so little praise, but Teriyaki Madness earned it on this visit. read more

Second time I have had a bad experience here. First I ordered online walked in and no one was at the counter. The people working did not speak English. She told me in Spanish The person who sheould be at counter was in the bathroom. I waited for close to 15min. The poor people working were saying he would be back soon. The line was so long out the door. Other people in line had online orders so we all started lookin at the names on recipts on the bags. Anyway the guy in the bathroom his name was Jordan, the young lady working was knocking the door trying to get him to come out. I had already paid so I would of left, but they already had my money. That was over 6 months ago. So I decided to try again. I walked in and the person at the counter said call in? I say no, he sighed like I was disturbing him he took my order, then I told him what I wanted he didn't say anything I paid and he was still acting like I had just put him out. I walked out after I got my order and said these ppl here are so rude to the lady in line, she said "I know"!! Last time I will go there! It's sad because someone hires these people i hope they know the quality of ppl they have working there!! I liked the food but I will never be back! read more

The food is so fresh the veggies are amazing. Everything is seasoned well. The fried rice is delicious.

Takes over an hour to get your food. Unacceptable especially for what they are serving.

Food is great but be ready for a long wait. Takes at least 30 minutes. They need a better process.

Made an online order, showed up to pick it up and they didn't have it. No explanation, no offers for help.. just shrug their shoulders and nothing. No food, no sorry, nothing. Their attitude was in the toilet. Told me we'd have to call and cancel the order (the number on the order was to their store) so, sorry, you'll have to call your bank to get the money back. Won't be returning. read more

As with what the other reviews have said: good food, unacceptable service. I really do think the issue stems from poor front staff, because the rest of the employees have never given me issues and are clearly hard workers. But every time I have interacted with front staff, they have been dismissive, unprofessional, or even aggressively rude and alienating to customers. There has consistently been a delay between ordering and obtaining the food that is far beyond what is expected. 45 min - 1 hour is what is expected from a sit down restaurant, not a strip mall fast food joint. Most recently, I had ordered before driving over for at least 15 minutes before arriving, interacted with rude front staff who aggressively stated "your order is not supposed to be ready until X time" and I needed to wait, which, I ordered for ASAP online, and who are you to say such things? I waited another 30 minutes for my order, watching as walk-in orders were placed and received their food before me. Worse still, when my order was called, it was someone from the kitchen double checking orders, not the front staff who knew i was there and whom I clearly stated my name and order to, that handed me my order. If you find yourself wanting Asian food near Montgomery and Juan Tabo, write off Teriyaki Madness as an option. read more

Teriyaki Anyone??? New restaurant in NE Heights. Chicken was tasty! Egg Roll was nice and crispy & Staff were very nice. Problem was vegetables were not steamed or stir fried enough. They tasted like a plate of raw veggies. Large Bowl came with one Teriyaki Sauce and no Soy Sauce. Rice was hard but again I didn't have any soy sauce on it. I asked them if they had put sauce in bag and they assured me they had. This restaurant has the possibility of being a popular Teriyaki restaurant. I saw them slicing the raw vegetables so if they can cook their vegetables right and give you the right amount of sauce it would be perfect! I live on the westside so going back was not an option. Overall I would come back but I would give specific instructions. Give it a try but make sure to advise the staff you want vegetables stir fried or steamed correctly! read more

My bowl was missing the madness :( it looked so sad. I got the spicy chicken teriyaki bowl but there was deff nothing spicy about it and barely a slither of what I assumed was the sauce. It was a sad looking bowl. Nothing like the beefy madness bowl advertised on the pictures. AND I didn't ask for a rubber ducky but my chicken deff was rubbery tasting. I won't go back. I think I should open up a Waba grill to show teriyaki madness how it's supposed to be done ;) and open up right next door. Battle of the chicken ! read more

Teriyaki Madness - Sad rubber ducky non spicy chicken with a "slight" hint of sauce. - Japanese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Good not great. The Katsu chicken is my go-to here. It's cooked great, and crispy, but not dry. The portion is small for the charge. They don't give you enough sauce with it, but the sauce itself is pretty good at least. The eggrolls are not my jam! They are definitely not something I'll be ordering again. The flavor just isn't there and they have that funky aftertaste some eggrolls tend to have... The other entree's I've had a bite of here and there have been alright as well. Nothing bad, but nothing that makes me want to rush back. Overall it's priced higher than it's worth IMO. Good food but not great, and not the biggest portions. For the price I either want better food, or more food! We may return very rarely, but nothing I'm rushing back to get either. read more

I went to this place last Friday 3/ with a hope to get a "WABA GRILL" or FLAMEBROIL" ) experience and it was a complete failure. I spent $38 dollars to explore several menu items, and everything had no flavor. The spicy chicken bowl tastes like spicy ketchup and the chicken breast had no season. The fried rice was mushy and taste like it was just thawed. The Yokisoba noodle bowl had no sauce (complete Fraud) far from a Yokisoba anything. The Alacarte side of the steak barely made me satisfied after I had to put the Bachan sauce from my pantry on it and cook it in my air fryer for some damn flavor. I hate Waba Grill and Flame broil won't open up a location out here (yes (i emailed their corporate office) because the Teriyaki fraud at this place was the only thing madness. You will be Hella mad after you taste the food. But if this is the only Teriyaki place you know, proceed accordingly. Will not be back ! read more

I have eaten at this place a couple of times and it felt like deja Vu as in the worker likes to sweep the floor with people eating nearby. I had to cover up my bowl as I saw dust swept up in the air.....very gross to me and unappetizing! Also, most restaurants have salt and pepper whereas this place does not....why? Not just this place but MANY others need to wipe off the tables! The food itself: not enough veggies! Will I be back? Well I would have to order for carry out and not eat in their restaurant. read more

Teriyaki Madness - Teriyaki white breast chicken bowl over white rice and extra teriyaki sauce - Japanese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

There's no "pride at work". Servers are dead in the eyes and mechanical. Do they even taste the food?

EDITED review: Great job guys!! The chicken was perfectly cooked-tender and delicious. Thank you for accepting my critique, I'm a fan of your food and will tell others about your restaurant! ORIGINAL review: I ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl...the chicken was as dry as a toasted saltine cracker that sat in a bed of sand in the full Phoenix sun in August. The brown rice and teriyaki sauce were absolutely delicious. The vegetables were good, but sparse. read more

This is in response to the manager who thinks that was a reasonable way to answer. The food was picked up before close. My grandma picked it up because, I'll repeat it, on the other side of town. Go re read my first review. She rushed over right away and left as I was on the phone with her so shut up about "30 min" she lives 7 min away and even texted me when she got the food. She left the building with around 10 min before closing and they still wanted to act like we did them so wrong by placing it at that time. And look people we still get no apology or anything just excuses after a HORRIBLE experience. So now what's the excuse to being so rude to your last orders? My grandma, poor thing by the way rushed over showed up within 10-12 min of ordering. She also said the people were extrmely rude and threw it at her. Sweet very old 83 year old lady who is lucky to be here with us. I whole heartedly know that there's a special place for people that treat others like this. Just apologize. This whole thing was wrong on the business end. Any apology yet? No. Anything at all!? No. A simple apology for making our night miserable just because your employees have huge egos during closing time, would look way better rather than making up really dumb cover up excuses. I had everything there apparently now when I just said I didn't. So they try to gaslight me before an apology now too. Very unprofessional location. We had an awful experience and our pick up time is the response you have? What? And your lying on top of it cause we live really close and she communicated me throughout the entire time when she got it. I was home within 30 min so these are lies now to top it off. Fantastic customer service y'all, really. We were there way before closing, check the cameras. Even if wanted to show up at 8:59, everything we experienced would still have been unacceptable behavior and you should be ashamed. We did not receive sauce on anything and was given one tiny cup on the side. We know sauce on everything and then an extra 2-3 every time. No we couldn't "ask for more" when I'm getting home and just looking in my bag and realize something that is there every time I now only had a tiny half filled one cup of sauce so I'm missing like 3-4 cups of sauces. Clearly there were some hateful ego driven people behind that grill. Nothing was cut, massive chunks. Yeah. Just embarrassing and then the way it's been handled to top it off. This is why I complained in the first place. You just proved to the people what I'm saying anyways so thanks. Tu eres loco? Tienes un buen día. Customer service needs major training and work. read more

3 attempts. 1st was a 30 min wait. Decided to come back later 2nd was online attempt, online order was turned off. Called in to order. Advised to order in person or order online. In person would be 45min wait. Told them that online doesn't work. They said yeah... we're behind.... 3rd attempt. Ordered ahead online, finally works now. 2:15pm avail pickup. Was told that it will be 30-40 min wait afterwards... For a franchise, they don't have it down at all. As I left the store with my food. Fight broke out between customers. Some white chick got her skull bashed with a glass teriyaki sauce bottle by another customer. Blood was everywhere. Food was good though. Thankful and appreciative that management responded. Will update when we go back and hope to raise our review. read more

Gave em another shot.... but sheeesh. Ordered on the app and get there about 30 min after. They had not even started the order, so had to wait for about 15 more min. No "sorry" or anything, just told me "ok, I will go ahead and start your order early", "early"?? your starting it 30 min late! This was last chance, will definitely not bother going back. Owner either is oblivious to the issues or just doesn't care. read more

Here's a prime example of a new place all ready being deceiving to their clients. We ordered 2 Teriyaki chicken bowls via a delivery service and when we received our meals, there was no Teriyaki sauce. I called the establishment and they said that the sauce is upon request? These instructions were NOT CLEARLY noted. At least call it a "Chicken Bowl." We WILL NOT be spending our hard earned money on deceiving places read more

Went here for the first time today (09/15/24). I can honestly say I will not be going back. The food was okay. Made fresh, which I do appreciate, but the lack of preparation on the person working the grill leaves so much to be desired. They were short-staffed, clearly. This however does not make for an excuse. Call in the manager / proprietor if you can't get employees to come in. Watch how the staff rolls their eyes at the customers. The lack of any type of customer service is incredible. Unless the owner/franchisee is just in it for a tax right off, serious changes need to be made. read more
