Great little spot to eat at, I was craving Yakisoba, and this is the only place that serves rice and a salad with Yakisoba. That I'm aware of. It was quiet and comfortable I really dislike going into a restraunt to eat and freeze.

I haven't been to this spot in 20 years since I moved away. After coming back today the food is still the same as I remembered! The owner and staff were super nice and very welcoming!

Always love to come here! I would like to try other meals, but I always gravitate to the chicken bowl. This time around, I ordered an egg roll, and it was delicious. Every time I come here the service is good and friendly! It is a bit small inside, but ordering to go is always an option I do enjoy sitting inside, though!

At first I balked at the concept of a •”Teriyaki, sushi, and burger joint.” Then I balked at the pricing on the menu — 18 for a tempura spicy tuna roll? In inland Washington? No way. Imagine my surprise at the sheer size of the rolls, the freshness of the fish, and the expert composition. New York Teriyaki blew all my preconceptions out of the water of what’s possible on this side of the Cascades, with quality rivaling or even surpassing similarly-priced locations in the Seattle and Portland areas. I highly recommend anyone looking for a quality Japanese food experience in Yakima try this place — you won’t regret it.
