Mashita Teriyaki

Eat here if you like teriyaki! You pay for good quality food, not ambiance, and Mashita Teriyaki delivers! It gets busy at lunch because it is so good, not a negative! You know what kind of restaurants do not get busy? Bad ones! I just had lunch and I would still eat an order of the spicy chicken right now.

You can tell this place was amazing 10 years ago. Staff and the building is currently run down, tired and exhausted. The chicken was as good as any I've had around. The teriyaki was acceptable. The rice wasnt as sticky as it should be. The rice wasnt bad, I've had much better. The salad tasted like all raw bock choy without any dressing whatsoever. $0.50 soda refills which is uncommon anymore. You get what you pay for and this place is not expensive.

Run-down interior and exterior, but the food is pretty good. The prices are decent. The food isn't over-the-top good, nor the prices really low and great, to call this place a hidden gem. But if you like chicken teriyaki, it will definitely satisfy your cravings. It's decent/good, but not just above average.The staff is fairly nice and helpful as well. The chicken has that nice char that you hope for with teriyaki. The teriyaki sauce is good, but definitely behooves you to add more on before you take your food home (presuming you take it home, either way, if you're eating there, there's plenty of bottles of teriyaki around you can squirt more on your food). The rice is really good, and you get a lot of the normal cabbage/veg mixture that makes it seem like you're getting more food than you are. I eat some of that veggie mix, but never all of what they give you, and we all know it's just filler. My boyfriend gets the spicy chicken option, which is just teriyaki sauce mixed with a hot sauce of some kind. He likes it, and is always happy when I offer to stop and get some.
