We both ordered the spicy pink sauce bow tie pasta with chicken and Caesar salad. The pasta was a little bit more spicy than I remembered it but still very delicious. The salad initially looked overdressed but when I tasted it, it was perfectly seasoned. The owner was super friendly and gave us great service. The restaurant is located inside the country club looking over the golf coarse so we had a great view. They did mention they will be looking for another location and moving in the near future. But I loved their food so much, I'll be sure to track them down again the next time I'm in the area. Hope they continue to have the same great menu. I do miss their lemon bars!

There aren't a lot of Indian restaurants around that I know of, so I'm glad this one is nearby.

We absolutely love Teriyaki Madness! This place is always great and consistently delivers. We've ordered the 6-ounce bowls with orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, and spicy chicken on multiple occasions, and every single time the food is hot, fresh, and full of flavor. We come here at least once every two weeks, and the service is always amazing--friendly, quick, and super reliable. I've also ordered online for specific pickup times, and my food has always been ready when I arrive. No waiting, which is perfect for quick lunch breaks or when I need to grab something on the go for the office. The portions are generous, the flavors are delicious, and the convenience is unbeatable. This is hands down one of our go-to spots, and we'll definitely continue to keep coming back. We love it here! read more

I ordered a spicy ramen bowl, and it was okay. It wasn't bad, but it was missing some of the flavor I was hoping for. I ended up adding soy sauce to give it a little more depth. I'd give the ramen itself a 3/5. The spicy garlic edamame was unfortunately not what I expected. It tasted oddly sweet and didn't have the salty, tangy, spicy flavor that I usually love in edamame. That one was a 1/5 for me. Maybe I just prefer the ramen spots in Little Tokyo, because this place wasn't really doing it for me, even though I truly love ramen.

Every bite tastes like it was made specifically to fix your day. Bad mood? Gone. Hunger? Deleted. Productivity afterward? Questionable because now you need a nap Then there's the teriyaki beef plate -- rich, flavorful, and cooked just right. No chewy mystery meat here.

Not once AND THEN -- like they weren't already overachieving -- they serve loaded fries topped with teriyaki meats Yes, you read that correctly. Crispy fries buried under juicy chicken or beef and drenched in sauce. It's the kind of dish you order "to share" and immediately regret that decision. These fries don't start arguments... they end friendships. The portions are massive, the service is friendly and fast, and you leave feeling like you just got away with something.

We've always loved coming here, especially because the servers and the entire staff are consistently so kind and nice to us every time we walk through the door. Unfortunately, over the last few months, we've noticed a dip in quality and service that's getting harder to ignore. Lately, every time we've ordered for pickup, the wait times have been incredibly long--usually stretching close to an hour. For our most recent order, I was told it would be 30 minutes because they only had one cook on staff. We're very understanding, and we actually noticed they only had one cook months ago, too, so it seems like a persistent staffing struggle. However, after calling back to check in, the total wait ended up being nearly 50 minutes. The real disappointment, though, was the food itself. The Pad Thai looked completely unappetizing this time; it had no color, was very dry, and tasted almost bland. It's a far cry from the vibrant, flavorful dishes we fell in love with when we first started coming here. We really want to see this place thrive again. We truly appreciate the lovely staff but we're becoming more hesitant to order. I hope the owners see this and can make some adjustments to the kitchen consistency and staffing, because we'd love to have a reason to come back.
