Tryyaki

Got the honey chicken, chicken wasn’t that great and the honey sauce tasted odd, it wasn’t very sweet at all. Also apparently you can only order things as a meal but I really don’t want the crab Rangoon or the salad or even most of the rice which is not the best. The drink is small too. I have also tried the sesame chicken which is good and the orange chicken which wasn’t. Would be better if there was a cheaper option to just get the entrée

Love love love this place best Chinese in Lawrence always fresh and fast and great prices

the general chicken was taste good, and the food is cheap also

It tastes good. I like the combonation fried rice best. Also the foods are pretty affordable.

Have had to spit out pieces of old, dry, splintering chicken almost every time I ate here. It is cheap and open late though, which is nice.

I just wanted to say — we ordered them for delivery tonight, and the food got to us in about 15 minutes and was hot and fresh. The people who run it are always so friendly. I asked if they would make my general’s chicken a little spicier, and it is PERFECT. Great customer service is always a plus :)

Disgusting sushi. Fast food and sushi should not go together. The rice in the rolls has always been hard, as though it were old. The fish has a strong distasteful flavor to it.
The Lo Mien and Teriyaki are tolerable but not good, expect the quality to be similar to the Panda Garden chain of restaurants without the options.
Potential patrons would be advised to fulfill their Asian food cravings somewhere else, notably Jade Garden which offers food of a much higher quality and greater variety at only a marginal increase in price.

Disgusting. I ordered honey seared chicken and fried rice… Not really sure what I got. It was a box of dry white rice and gross little brown puffs of what they were trying to pass off as chicken.

DON’T «Try”-yaki. Ever. The food is just awful. It’s not expensive but it’s also not worth it. It’s tough to find good Chinese in Lawrence, but don’t start looking here. I’m questionable of anyplace that serves Chinese and sushi in the first place, and they don’t do either well.

Great for late night Chinese cravings. Fried rice and crab rangoons are amazing. Also recommended for those who enjoy gigantic helpings of lo mein.

Food tastes way better when you’re drunk. It may sound silly, but eating it sober isn’t as satisfying… trust me.

Excellent sushi. Great buffet. Clean.

Yum yum it’s so good. I usually go if I’m with a bunch of people or by myself. I don’t order when I’m not hungry or not in the mood to eat or I don’t have the munchos. Sushi 16 is my favorite, my sis always gets the chicken rice and I get shrimp lo mein. Good portions and quick. This is a DRIVE THRU! :-)

The best fast Chinese food in lawrence, especially the general, orange, sesame chicken and crap rangoons. They are really fast and pretty decent. However, the sushi is not that good their, other items on the menue like tryyaki chicken or beef is okay.

I think the appeal of Tryyaki may be better found if you’re a little drunk. I don’t think I’d had enough to truly appreciate the greasy goodness. (and how much goodness was really there!)
What does Tryyaki have going for it? It’s a Great deal. Read: Half a california roll instead of a salad, beef and broccoli w/​fried rice all for $ 8. Not Bad! The serving size was large-​enough for two of us to share after a late, but not too crazy, night out. I also loved the drive thru! Hooray for drive-​thru Asian cuisine.
What did I not like about Tryyaki? It was a little greasy. Before you judge me and say that I got fried rice, of course it will be greasy, this was more than normal dishes I’ve had at places around Lawrence with similar pricing.
I will go back to Tryyaki but I definitely do not anticipate this being a regular part of my dining circuit when in Lawrence. Unless I’m drunk. I have no doubt this will be the best food I’ve ever had after a lot of drinks. Until then, Tryyaki is fun and worth trying. Just don’t expect the best.

I used to like this place, but this visit will be my last. They charged extra to add broccoli to my General chicken, even when I told them I didn’t want the crab rangoon that comes with the meal. I was so frustrated that I didn’t notice they did not give me a drink… until I was already home. Last time, I was halfway home when I realized they forgot my salad and California roll. Too frustrating to go back.

This was a solid 3 stars for me. I’d never tried it and my friend and I wanted some cheap Chinese food and decided to give TryYaki a shot.
I ordered the Shrimp Teriyaki and my friend ordered the General Chicken. I wouldn’t have described the amount of food as huge as some of these Unilocal reviews would have implied. Especially mine, which was mostly onions, though shrimp IS more expensive than chicken. (Maybe I’m just spoiled by having gone to college in Baltimore where you could get a week’s worth of Chinese food for $ 20.) The sauce was pretty good. The rice was as to be expected. The sushi (California roll) was nothing to write home about, but it wasn’t bad. I’m glad it was not a raw roll. I’m not sure if they have raw rolls, but I don’t know if I would trust that from them. The crab rangoon (swapped out for a salad) was the best part!
We had delivery and it came pretty fast. No complaints there.
I probably won’t seek out TryYaki again, but if I’m in a situation to eat there I won’t complain.

TryYaki is and will always be ubber popular amongst younger college students. Why you may ask… Because they freaking give you enough gut wrenching (in a bad way) Chinese food to feed 2 – 3 KU Football Players. The prices are super low and you receive a boat load of food. Therefore, something isn’t adding up here. Then again, you get what you pay for.
The food is somewhat weird. The first few bites are delicious. Then it gradually goes down hill from there. Maybe it’s a mental thing. When you open the container and see all the food provided your adrenaline spikes and you think, «Yea, I got over on this one». Well, just wait. You will likely regret it soon enough. I swear the food all starts to taste the same. Regardless of dish, whether you get veggie or meat included; everything starts to taste meaty/​fishy. Very weird because I’m not even sure if TryYaki sells fish dishes outside shrimp. Related to this issue I hereby provide a stern warning to all; DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT reheat leftovers up in the microwaves. You will get an awful flavor of rotting meat in your palate. I swear I’m not exaggerating and have heard from others the same thing.
Anyhow, the crab rangoon and egg rolls aren’t too bad. I’ve eaten here 4 – 6 times and have finally decided to stop. The prices are super low and I totally forgot to mention that all dishes include a FREE soda. But, you better mention the free drink because TryYaki sure won’t. Again, if you’re an 18 – 20 something college student, knock yourself out champ. You’ll learn on your own.

I keep asking myself why I keep going back to TryYaki, but I keep doing it! i can’t say no! Their food is not authentic, but it’s fast, you get a lot of it and the price is right. I usually have leftovers or share my dinner, and all for only about 6 bucks.
My favorite thing on the menu is the crab rangoon — they are crispy and have good flavor. I’m not a fan of the spicy tuna roll — it was a bit fishy tasting (in the wrong way). The California roll is fair, though. When I got the beef and broccoli dish, I did appreciate the amount of broccoli, and the fact that it still had a bit of crisp to it. The sesame noodles are a more flavorful and higher quality side than the fried rice in my opinion.
Give it a try!

Fast food drive, through Chinese food! The teriyaki chicken was very flavorful. The sauce was really runny and not thick as I have found at other Chinese restaurants. I loved that. I moved all my white rice to slather up the runny goodness.
The teriyaki chicken meal included rice a salad and Cali rolls and a soda for $ 5.80. That’s a good deal.
My wife love the Cali rolls. I don’t like that stuff. She loved them! The Crab Rangoon was not sweet enough. The lo-​mien had a peanut taste to it. I didn’t care for it. My wife liked it. Reminded me of ramen noodles.
We do not live in Lawrence, but were hungry and wanted food fast and we really enjoyed the place.
We ate in the car in the parking lot. As it’s a drive through. However I did see their other location is sit down. Unconfirmed though.
Compared to Panda Express a similar concept this was heaven. Cooked fresh when we ordered it. Chicken so hot it burned the tongue. Love hot food.
Overall we were pleased. The food was good and we would go back. Great deal good food!
