Seattle's Best Teriyaki

Decent fast casual Japanese place on Hospitality Lane in SanBernardino. The best thing about this place is the hostess! Super nice and efficient. We had Bento boxes. The presentation was perfect, and so I had high expectations. However the steak teriyaki (at a place named the best teriyaki) was okay grade, but cold. The teriyaki sauce was very thin and super salty, more like soy sauce. The edamame was good but COLD yech. The gyoza was excellent...crispy and flavorful, although deep fried not pan fried. Rice was fine. The salad was mostly white iceberg, and the dressing was medical whip, not the expected tangy Japanese dressing. No miso soup. The shrimp tempura was cooked perfectly, but there was some dirty intestine left in there from poor cleaning...gross!!. The facility smells strongly of pinesol, but otherwise the dining room was nicely decorated and spacious. Plenty of seating. The bathroom was seriously disgusting. Mismatched toilet tank cover, black slime deposits on the lower 4 inches of wall tile, nasty sink and gross pee puddle on the floor. To the owner: you can do better. Cost was $56 for two bento boxes and 1 can of coke and 8 gyoza. Outrageous! This place could easily earn another star or two if some improvements are made.

Don’t recommend this place. You will wait for hours for a very average small sized meal. Basically taco bell quality with a Michelin star restaurant wait-time.

Teriyaki was good , cut in fine pieces and no fat on it or burnt pieces . Was just perfect with the rice and salad.

Great food service.

Very casual place, but tasty food and friendly staff. A great place to grab a quick bite for lunch.

I went here today with high expectations as someone who was born and raised in Washington state and has not enjoyed proper teriyaki in California since I moved here regardless I ordered the chicken plate which cost $13.30 as of 9/18/24 and I ordered an egg roll with it as well. I did not know that it was a two piece egg roll that cost 6.99 on the same date she charged me for both items and while I was waiting for my food, I saw a sign that said special of the week chicken plate and one egg roll four 13.79 my final total was 22.93 so at this point, I asked the worker is the special the same size as the plate I just ordered she replied yes it is. I said then did I pay 9 dollars over the price where she told me it was because of the extra eggroll so you're telling me this place charges about seven dollars for an eggroll that's insane. Clearly it's not because their special is 13.79 that includes the egg roll and the T1 plate is 13.30 someone at the establishment needs to set their prices right and tell their employees how to cater to customers just because of this experience I'll never come back here. Food was good not as good as Seattle's best but subpar on top of all of that, the lady at the front had the nerve to argue with me about, the math of the final price if she would've just suggested the special instead it wouldn't have been a problem like she supposed to do people don't know how to do simple jobs anymore smh

Great food and the staff was amazing.

Highly recommend the Spicy Tuna Bowl! We have been coming here for 15 years and the food quality has remained excellent, the service is always warm and friendly. Hope that they never go away!

Anybody who has been to Seattle and eaten teryaki can confirm this just doesn't represent Seattle's teryaki scene. I had high hopes.
