“Iona establishments in multiple countries. Met Saif this customer service goes above and beyond. I assume he's an owner and if he's not he should be.”

“hands down best teryiaki I've ever tried, people who work here are very nice so that's even better, I definitely recommend this place to everyone 🤩”
“I went here after the gym with my friend. The owners were so friendly and nice! I wish I took a better photo of the food, but it was yummy! Perfect post-workout meal. 10/10 I would come again!”
“I only eat halal, and the cashier was very friendly and helpful - she mentioned that only the chicken is halal here. I went with that, and the experience was good overall. The food was fresh and tasty, and the location is super convenient right across from LA Fitness. If you’re looking for a quick halal chicken protein fix, definitely check this place out! I do hope they consider making more items halal in the future, it would be great to have more options!”
“Delighted to have stopped by Teriyaki Madness for a yummy, balanced bowl. You can select from tofu, chicken, salmon, steak...and customize your rice or noodles, fried, white or brown rice or yakisoba noodles. The classic teriyaki chicken was smokey and tender, sweet with pillowy rice and fresh umami vegetables slightly wok tossed. It was delicious! The staff are friendly and welcoming, perfect for a quick healthy meal. Thank you kindly. Hope to return soon for another bowl, maybe chicken katsu with power bowl (all veggies) and an appetizer for edamame or egg roll. Make sure sure to sign up for points and special deals. They even offer catering and delivery”
“Food is always fresh and hot. Highly recommend this place for your lunch break.”
“Review written 12/03/2025. Tasty spicy tofu bowl. Friendly service. Took about 10-15 minutes to receive food to go. Removing one star because they don’t have a way to scan the Teriyaki Madness rewards app, you have to scan your receipt after the fact, which hasn’t worked when I’ve tried. Wish they offered non-meat eggrolls. (They only have chicken egg rolls and I am vegetarian) Bowl included one free side of Teriyaki sauce and one free pack of siracha in the bag. They had forks and chopsticks and napkins over by the beverage station.”
“The service was amazing. But will I return? Probably Not. $$ Its too pricey for the quality of food .Could get this meal cheaper at Panda Express where the food is cooked in front of you. Food- I wish the veggies were cooked more. They were served semi-raw and although that crunch is great, a little longer on heat would have changed the flavor tremendously. The rice did not taste like it was made at the restaurant. What I mean by this, the rice was very (hot) but , it tasted like if it was frozen bagged rice that you throw on a pan and warm up. Fried rice is very easy to make and with the dollar $ amount im spending, I would think its made to order and not pre-cooked and frozen. The spicy teriyaki chicken was good, it's not something to crave and go back for. The spicy sauce did have a nice kick to it. Overall spent $40 because I did have to go back and buy a drink. This is what I ordered: For myself-Medium sized Spicy Teriyaki chicken, Fried Rice with Veggie. For my daughter-Jr size Yakisoba bowl ( only noodles and veggie * requested no protein *) 1 Medium Fountain drink & a 4 pc Crab Rangoon.”
“I came in to pick up food at this establishment, my order being ready at 9:02 PM 11/11/25. I arrived and was promptly given my food. As I went to grab napkins I noticed that they didn't include any sweet and sour sauce in the bag. Naturally, I went to the counter to ask for some sweet and sour sauce. The original cashier was no longer there so I was helped by another man, an older south asian man to be specific. The details are relevant here because his behavior was despicable. Anyway, I asked for sweet and sour sauce. He was aggressive right off the bat, insisting that the sauce was in the bag. He started to come around the counter to come towards me to open the bag, and at this point I told him he was "doing too much" and swiftly exited. I was already feeling very uncomfortable with the encounter so obviously it had to get worse, right? Yup, tell me why this man CHASED ME OUT OF THE RESTAURANT and started coming up to me as I was entering my car. I was immediately alarmed and scared because of his erratic behavior. I immediately told the man that he was being weird and to get away from me. At this point he finally retreated. Now what would have been the problem with just giving me the one sauce packet? Was it really necessary to act this way? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I genuinely didn't expect to get harassed at Teriyaki Madness today. Women, please avoid this establishment. There is no deceny or basic human respect available for us here. The chicken may be good, but the stingy creeps make this place earn a spot on my "never eating there again" list.”
