Teriyaki Madness

Normally this place is pretty good, but if you modify your order you better check it. You also better make sure you know their terminology. They have my order history, yet constantly forget my extra container of veggies. Today I said I wanted an extra container of veggies, yet they took that to mean «extra in the one container». When I got to my car and realized there was only one container of veggies I went back in to ask about it and they gave me a very hard time. They even pulled up my order history and could clearly see that I always pay for two containers of veggies. She told me that because I didn’t use the words «extra SIDE» and had used the word container instead that she didn’t understand me. I will probably eat here again, but I will definitely make sure that whoever is taking my order is clear about what I want.
Update: Shortly after I got home with my meal, Dean (One of the founders of Teriyaki Madness) called me to personally apologize. I was very impressed. We discussed how they were going to improve training and he even put me in the system for a complementary meal. I am VERY proud to know, as a former restaurant general manager myself, that Teriyaki Madness respects and appreciates their consumers. Definitely will keep my teriyaki needs at this location!!!

Good food for a quick Asian fix. However, the prices are a bit higher than more authentic places that aren’t «commercialized». Normally a 2 ½ to 3 stars place at best, but because my order called in prior to arriving was botched due to a tight schedule to catch a red eye to Philly, I took ½−1 star away. Normally I wouldn’t say anything, but the way it was handled by the cashiers, left me feeling that it happens more often than not. With that said, the cashier did give me a 10% discount. But it’s never about the money. Something to keep in mind «Madness».

My favorite place to eat at, always get the kids bowl. Grilled teriyaki bowl with brown rice and veggies. Kids meal comes with a drink the beverage counter has 16 flavors including teas and sobe. They let you customize your veggies broccoli cabbage onions zucchini carrots. Brown rice always a healthy option at no addition charge like other places.

Average meal. Chicken on the dry side. Plenty of chicken in bowl. The background music was annoying.

Walked into a quite busy environment but was able to order and receive my food in a timely fashion. Food was cooked to perfection and I strongly suggest the spicy chicken, noodles and veggies.

A lovely place to relax and enjoy teriyaki dishes. The service is great! The employees are polite. The atmosphere is good too.

Great teriyaki bowls, fast and fun. Can get a bit pricy if you are not careful.
I enjoy that this place is right next to our gym. But if not for that I’m not sure if I would travel far to get here.
The chicken Katsu is crunchy and moist. The spicy chicken has a little kick and the teriyaki is sweet and smoky. My only complaint might be that 7 – 10 dollars is bit steep for a bowl/​box of rice with a bit of meat. Between my wife and I getting a meal, an appetizer and drinks this goes up to 30 bucks pretty quick. The portions are enough for leftovers though so maybe not the worst.
A good solid 3. Worth a try once. And every now and then if you are close.
My personal favorite is the beef yakisoba box.

I was on hold for 7 minutes before the girl answered my can you hold call, my husband went to go pick up my food that I was still on hold to order & he says she was laughing and talking with a guy while I was on hold!!!
Food is great but customer service sucks! Hire some people with class

I had this last night for dinner! ALWAYS so bomb! never disappoints especially after a great workout! The people were extra nice too. local place near my home i will be back!

D– Chicken breast was dry and inedible. Added an extra star as the orange chicken was ok.
Never had a problem with the Craig location before. Won’t return to this one

This place is so bomb!!! I came here after a long weekend at Cali! I got here at 9:15 pm and they were closing at 10 they were super friendly and helpful about the menu since it was my first time. The plates are affordable and you can make it healthy by what you choose! I got the spicy chicken plate with brown rice and fresh green salad! It was seriously so good haha I can’t even explain and the bowls they give are so convenient. They remind me of meal prep bowls that youtubers use! Anyways definitely will be coming back here again!

I was hooping with all the hype I had heard that I’d like this place better. I just thought it was okay. I had the spicy beef teriyaki and the portion was good but the beef didn’t taste spicy and the teriyaki flavor was just too much. The beef wasn’t fatty which was nice but man that teriyaki stood out too much. I had some of the chicken pot stickers and they were greasy. I know Panda Express is «fast food» but I like it there better and at least for the same price I get to choose different options and have variety on my plate. The workers were nice and it was clean inside.

Teriyaki Madness
Life is full of disappointments, do you really need to add another to the list? Teriyaki Madness is the equivalent of finding out a girl you like is going out with your best friend– and guess what… You payed for their date. You had high hopes for this girl, saw her becoming a large part of your life, maybe introducing your friends and family to her. She looked so nice in the pictures.
Don’t be fooled by the «madness». The only thing crazy about this place is how much «average» they can cram into a teriyaki bowl.
In all reality, the food isn’t horrible, just bland and uninspiring. I spent $ 10 on a salmon bowl with less flavor than I could make at home for $ 4. However, there is something to be said for a nice, relatively healthy lunch option on-​the-​go. For best results, temper expectations prior to entering. And prepare yourself for flashbacks of the time you were an inch too short to ride that roller coaster as a child.

Meh…
Pros: Clean restaurant and friendly staff.
Cons: Stirfry veggies consisted of 85% cabbage. The remainder of the food is not bad, but also nothing to rave about.
Details: Food was nothing special. I got the spicy chicken plate with brown rice and stirfry veggies. $ 8.99. The chicken was tender and the flavor was decent.

The food is good the only down fall I have to say is the wait.

I love me some Teriyaki Madness! Seriously, I can’t get enough of their Spicy Tofu Teriyaki Bowl ($ 6.99). The portions are plentiful and the yum factor packs a punch. They’re not stingy on their tofu portions either. The tofu is cooked just how I like it and the white rice is always fluffy and moist. I get the spiciest level available, but it’s not overpowering or anything (just enough to make my nose runny lol). It’s an extra $ 0.50 to add some «Spicy», but it’s so worth it! I also like that you can customize your bowl — you can choose whether you want brown or white rice, veggies or no, etc. The veggies are meh so usually I just get my bowl with rice.
The restaurant area is clean and the average wait time is about 5 minutes. They bring your order to the table. Their house teriyaki sauce is delicious! I think I deplete half a bottle on each visit. There’s soy sauce and Sriracha on each table as well.
Teriyaki Madness is pretty much my go-​to fast food joint. I always get coupons in the mail for them in addition to text offers, so it’s reasonable to eat here! On my last visit, a meal for two came to $ 14.25 after a 20% Off text coupon.

TMad! Aside from my all time favorite teriyaki spot in LA, Teriyaki Madness is probably my second fave. This location is brand spanking new and much more spacious than most of the restaurants around town. Come try it and you’ll fall in love too. The chicken is so tender and tasty. The veggies are delicious too. I’ve recently been converted to brown rice from a certain someone… so now that’s my go-​to. ;) The shrimp tempura & edamame are highly recommend also. The yakisoba is just ok. It’s a bit too greasy for my taste, I’d pass on that. They also offer low-​carb plates and chicken bowls for the kiddos. Glad this place is so close by. We probably eat here about once a week, their catchphrase «Highly Addictive» is very true.

I’ve never gone «mad» for teriyaki, but I sure do like a good chicken katsu, which is a protein option on their menu.
This is how ordering works:
1. Select either the bowl or plate option.
2. Choose your protein, base, and side.
I chose the chicken katsu with a brown rice base and a side of veggies. The overall bowl could seem bland to some taste buds without sauce, but I thought it was decent without it and the extra sodium. I also ordered a chicken egg roll for its «exciting» description, but it was the opposite and tasted like the frozen variety found at some buffets and fast food places — what a bummer.
Food is somewhat overpriced. A bowl costs over $ 8.00, and the egg roll was $ 1.99. To justify the cost, my main meal made me full, but I can’t say that the egg roll was worth the price.
The service was good. I do like how orders are directly delivered to your table if you choose to dine in. There’s plenty of booth seating, and the restaurant is clean.
When I stopped by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, there were hardly any diners, but I can imagine it being packed once the LVAC across the street opens.

My first visit being so-​so, I decided to give Teriyaki Madness a second try to see if I liked it any better. For me it was still the same so-​so experience and I don’t get the hype over this place. Inside is very clean and they have plenty of tables to choose from and the booths are spacious which is nice. The employees were very friendly and helpful with going over the menu. Some of the food I ordered was really good and some of it was not so good. I do get coupons in the mail sometimes for BOGO offers, so I can see coming back with a coupon and probably will since the rice and chicken are pretty darn good and I work in the area, but I can’t see making a point to come here often.
Spicy Chicken Teriyaki Plate ($ 8.99) — I took the white rice that came with it and mixed it with the chicken. I liked the flavor of the chicken a lot. There was a good portion of both rice and chicken. I’d order this again for sure.
Spicy Beef Teriyaki Plate ($ 9.49) — For an extra $ 1 this time I chose noodles instead of rice. The noodles were a bit dry and lacked flavor. The beef was tender and tasted good, but I tasted teriyaki flavor and no spice which was a bummer because I had enjoyed the spicy chicken and the chicken actually kick. The overpowering flavor of teriyaki on this one will most likely mean that I will stick to the spicy chicken instead.
Chicken Egg Roll ($ 1.99) — Inside I saw tons of what appeared to be black pepper yet the egg roll really had no flavor. It was filled with a generous amount of chicken, but it was greasy and flavorless.
Chicken Pot Stickers ($ 3.29) — These were a greasy and overcooked mess. On the menu these are described as «crazy good» and I got 5 of them that were crazy greasy and hard. The inside tasted not so great. I will stick to the stickers elsewhere.
Stir-​Fry Veggies and a Green Salad are each options for sides. The salad came with a sweet dressing that tasted good. The veggies were basic yet tasty and fresh.
Orders are made fresh so if you are on a lunch break or crunched for time then call your order in so it’s ready or at least being made while you are on your way to pick it up.

Highly addictive doesn’t even begin to describe this place.
I was so glad to see this location open. It’s conveniently located right off the 215, on Decatur at the Winco and Target shopping center. The employees are great and inside is always very clean.
I did hear a couple of people complaining because of the wait on the food. Um hello, it’s fresh and cooked when you order. Each time I’ve visited, I get in and out in no time and the food has been amazing each visit. Plus side to the wait, you can be more specific with the food… no sauce, extra sauce, sauce on the side, meat cooked longer or not as long. You get the drift, it’s worth the wait.
To date, the food has been on point. Chicken Yakisoba is comparable to some of my favorites around town. Yes it’s that good. My go to has been the two proteins plate (available on plate only). It’s obviously the best bang for your buck. I’m sure I’ll be back… before the weekend is over.
