For it being in a small corner the portions are definitely small and the price for what you pay is awesome! The chicken and beef plate was perfect. It was so much food that I can safely half for now and half for later. Taste wise, it's freshly cooked and hot. This place is one of those places that will have me coming back for sure! The cashiers service was very kind, delightful and she answered all my questions I had. Before you go just know parking may be a little small since everyone goes there for Starbucks on that lot. read more

Unfortunately, we ordered a beef bowl and a chicken plate but we got a spicy pork bowl and a plate with half chicken and half beef! On a positive note, we still enjoyed all the food! I just wish I had veggies for more balance. They're super generous with their portions, so you do feel like you're getting your moneys worth. I love that they give extra containers of teriyaki sauce and hot sauce too! Everything is flavored super well and I love the char on the chicken! It's so good! Service is relatively fast and they're friendly! The parking is very limited but not too bad. We went on a Saturday evening and there were a few tables inside. It's not a good place for big groups, so I recommend just getting takeout and going home to enjoy! It was still nice and warm too by the time we got to eating! I'd come back again FOR SURE! read more

Yamas Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Westminster, California

Highly recommend! The teriyaki chicken is so delicious I will definitely get a bowl next time but I could not resist the fries I've been seeing on social media. The hype is well deserved. The spicy pork yamas fries was 20 bucks and took about 10 minutes for them to make. Plenty of seating and parking. Overall I would pick the spicy pork yamas fries and order a teriyaki chicken bowl next time! Kind worker and very relaxing vibe with low level music playing. There is a reason why I saw so many people coming and going. They got some loyal customers for good reason- come check them out! read more

This place is a solid option if you're craving teriyaki :) I work in Westminster now and this place is being raved by police officers and government personnel so it must be that good. The place is an ordinary teriyaki joint and has a very clean ambiance. I assumed it's a mom and pops store based on the friendliness that they have. Nothing too fancy and simple :) I ordered their half chicken and beef plate which has beef and chicken with rice and salad. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The meat is sorta dry but the teriyaki sauce really helps the texture. Overall, not bad I'll go here again whenever I crave for some teriyaki :) read more

Okay don't hate me, but the Chicken Yamas Fries were alright! Much of the flavor is from the protein-teriyaki chicken. I didn't really get any flavor from the sauce they used. I will say the portion is good for 2 people. read more

*** $10 minimum to use credit cards or debit cards *** Yamas Teriyaki is known for its homemade teriyaki sauce and has been serving the local community for over a decade. The flagship location is in Huntington Beach with a second location in Westminster. [Parking]: Plenty of parking spots available - I always find a spot whenever I come here at 7 PM. [Menu]: Pretty straightforward menu featuring bowls and plates with chicken or beef. They also offer California rolls and crunch rolls. Lunch specials are served from 11 AM to 3 PM. *** Chicken bowl (small $9.59): The chicken was grilled nicely, but the bowl had slightly more rice than I would like and the bowl was not the best bang for the buck. (3/5) Chicken veggie (small $10.99): The plate was slightly larger portion than bowl and the plate also included fresh vegetables. This plate was a much better option than the chicken bowl. It was worth an addition $1.50 price difference. *** A solid 3.5-star on food & I would recommend chicken veggie plate over chicken bowl for the best experience. As long as you avoid ordering the small teriyaki bowl, most of the other main menu items exceed the $10 credit/debit card minimum. read more

This place is an institution- I've been coming here since my brother used to get us their food after a long day at school. The quality of food is still great as it was back then, and the smoky flavor of the chicken and beef gets you salivating for more! The ambiance hasn't changed in a while, but they have kept their warm, traditional look for over a decade! Don't need to fix what ain't broke! Food always comes out quick, I generally call in beforehand and they have everything ready in 5-10 for pickup :) read more

Gotta say I was surprised how good this place was. I eat teriyaki bowls pretty often for lunch, but the chicken here was much more flavorful and tender than i expected. I'll be back again soon for sure and will try the beef next time. Good find!! read more

Local spot Yamas Teriyaki is a clean, welcoming place with super friendly staff. There are tons of great food options, plus a couple of sushi choices as well. We ordered some California rolls, chicken and beef plate, and the chicken and beef veggie plate, and everything was fresh and satisfying. The real star of the show is the Yamas Fries. They take a little time to come out, but they are 100 percent worth the wait. Seriously addictive and the main reason I keep coming back. I love supporting places like this. There may be other similar spots around, but none of them hit quite like Yamas Teriyaki. read more

It was our first time here and she (the owner I think) gave us complimentary drinks and was so attentive throughout our time eating the meal! She was so nice and considerate. I would've gone back just for the food, but the service gave me even more reason to come back. The food was very good. The fries were very crunchy and crispy, despite it being loaded with sauce and meat. The beef bowl to the right was also good since the meat had so much flavor. read more

Food is amazing! I'm a fairly plain eater and stuck with the teriyaki chicken plate with steamed rice. I usually call in my order ahead of time and the food is always prepared quickly. Teriyaki sauce isn't too sweet and the chili sauce has good flavor. All for a great price. Will be back for sure! read more

A little hole in the wall... initially saw a review for the one in HB... But this one was closer so tried them out. First, lemme say, I really liked their chicken teriyaki! I got the large chicken w veggie plate- I loooooove that they give soooo much veggies! Half the plate is veggies. Everything tasted delicious. My little wanted eggrolls- they were decent... perfect for a kid but not for me. Their miso soup was surprisingly flavorful and large! Ended up taking a lot of food home. My only real complaint is the store smells like bathroom cleaner- which I suppose means they clean... but it's so strong I can barely smell my food... it would definitely improve the whole experience. But the staff is friendly and will bring food right to you. I would prob just order to-go next time. read more

WOW! Could name my first born after whoever made this delicious teriyaki sauce. Don't listen to the bad reviews you want to see the kind gentleman who took our order and grab some yummy food from him. The portions are also big enough to share so it just adds to the list of good things about this place. read more

I use to think MOS2 was the best until I tried Teriyaki House Grill and that was better than MOS2. Now that I'm trying Yamas Teriyaki, it's my #1! Their beef is sooooo delicious soft and juicy.

i tried this place yesterday after getting a drink at starbucks next door and i'm glad i did bc i found my new spot for teriyaki. I got the spicy beef , chicken and beef plate for me and my 2 friends after a long workout. It hit the spot! We ate it family style and honestly all the meat had great flavor with the spicy pork being savory with a kick. We got our macros without sacrificing taste! This is great if u want quick but delicious protein. We took it to go and demolished it at home. read more

Love their teriyaki bowls and plates!! The portions are more than enough for each person.

I work long hours and sometimes I get off to late to order here but when I do I am extremely satisfied. The staff is kinda and the inside place is open but a little small so I usually take my food to go but the plate is always packed and satisfying. I get the beef and chicken large bowl since it hasn't failed me yet. read more

Very good food, quality food & fast service. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend Yamas Teriyaki!

I got the half beef half chicken with rice and veggies, my son got the sushi and tempura shrimp (all to go). So delicious with the teriyaki sauce and the hot sauce (it's actually spicy which bonus points for me). Sushi was so great, my son finished it all & the tempura shrimp so crispy and tasty. Cashier woman super nice! My son was pointing at the fountain drink and I was telling him we have drinks at home and she gave him a cup for him to get any drink he wants. That was so sweet of here. Definitely recommend trying! read more

I came here yesterday with the family. I've been longing to try this place for years. Similar to a Flame Broiler, but I believe much better. There are many of possibilities. I went with the large option, which included a lot of food. Maybe for two individuals or as leftovers. The personnel is kind, and the facility is very clean. There is an adequate number of seats. It took some time for the food to come out. Everything was extremely wonderful. I enjoyed the grilled marks on the chicken and the flavor they gave off. Some of the chicken did not look appetizing, but the majority of it did and tasted fantastic!!! read more

Wow and again wow. We came in to try this place that we have noticed for years when passing but never stopped. I never even looked it up because we have a spot for a teriyaki plate. Yamashita Teriyak or just Yamas is much more than just a plate. We ordered a to go order with a spicy pork plate with veggies, gyoza, teriyaki chicken and beef plate, crunch roll, and the tsunami fries. Everything was excellent and comparable to any other. The spicy pork was a great surprise and cravable. It was spicy but not super hot. It tastes like it was grilled outside with a hint of smoke flavor. I can't stop eating the large plate. I know I am full but I want more of that spicy smoky goodness. The teriyaki chicken and beef were also great quality meat and flavor. The tsunami fries were different and we didn't think they would work so we ordered just to experiment. The tsunami fries are something different and very ridiculous,I highly recommend. I would highly recommend stopping in and having a bowl or plate. They also have tempura and a couple sushi rolls. We had the crunch roll and it was excellent. We will definitely return. The seating is about seven tables of four. We arrived and they had a couple guests at two tables and all of a sudden, after we ordered, the line was five deep and almost every table was taken. A solid 4 stars and maybe 5 stars. The bathroom was out of order but that's why they have take out. read more

I am not a big fan of teriyaki chicken/beef but was pleasantly surprised with this place. We came here with our basketball team for lunch after a game.

Yama fries were very delicious. Be sure to get it with beef and you won't be disappointed. I will be coming here again!

Great food! The combo plate was insane and I was happy with the quality of meats. A+ will be back

I love this place! It's right by my office so I walk to get some lunch and mannnnn! I judge teriyaki on their sauce, the quality and quantity of the chicken and most importantly extra green onions! This place marks them all off! Extra meat is pretty much an entire second plates worth, the sauce is delicious and right on that borderline of not too thick not too runny, and when you ask for extra green onions not only do you get the Extra BUT ITS FREE! read more

Great food, great portions, great customer service. Nothing left to say, but I'll definitely be coming back here soon! read more

I've driven past Yamas Teriyaki a thousand times, each time saying to myself, "Someday I'll actually go to Yamas rather than just think about going to Yamas." And today I did just that! Here's what I expect from small, independent businesses, any one of them. Smiles from everyone working there. Nothing says non-verbally "I love what I do" more than a great, big smile. High quality product, at a reasonable price. Whether it's prepared foods or packaged goods. The good value equation for small businesses always equals "give me something more/better for which I know I'm going to pay a bit more" and I'm a satisfied customer. Yamas nailed both of these expectations and provided a large portion of yumminess that will easily satisfy two adults. The long-standing concept of the inexpensive teriyaki bowl lunch has been around for maybe a thousand years. Wasn't it the Ming Dynasty that brought us the first Imperial Chinese food truck? No ya say? Well whoever it was, we can all thank them knowing they laid the ground work for Yamas to turn beef and chicken bowls into consistent home runs. Simple food. Quality ingredients. And BAM! a delicious, healthy meal awaits! So the next time you're on Goldenwest Street right near the border of Garden Grove and Westminster, look to the east and tell yourself it's time to stop at Yamas Teriyaki for some high-quality protein and veggies. Your appetite and wallet will be glad you did! read more

This is my go to spot for teriyaki. The spicy pork is fire! I was that horrible customer that comes in 8 mins before they closed. I told them what I wanted and they still took care of me. I've always experienced great customer service when I come here. read more

Delicious. That's it, just delicious!! Super healthy and quick and affordable meal.
