e-Teriyaki

With a name like e-Teriyaki, my expectations were high. How could the restaurant taste as good as it's name implied?

Ambiance: Strip mall teriyaki joint that only used the equipment of previous owners-- "Hey look, this closed Japanese Restuarent left everything behind. I've got it! We can open a Teriyaki joint!"

Seating. Ample. There were about a dozen booths and tables. We were the only ones there.

Beverages: A full line of Snapple, and two diet Cokes. Ryan had to zip next door to the 7-11 to get a bottle of real coke. To be fair, as we were leaving, they brought in several cases of pop.

Quantity. Large quantity. They did not serve goyza. Ryan ordered without the salad, and got an extra scoop of rice.

Price: A bit expensive, but well worth it, especially considering the large quantity. The #1 was $5.25. Chicken-Beef combo was $6.45

Presentation: The food was presented on overlarge white china plates. The plates dwarfed the food, and made you think you were getting less than you actually did.

Blow Out: I thought there was going to be one, but it never happened. I'm suprised-- the Teriyaki sauce was so rich and... well... whatever it is teriyaki sauce is.

Bathroom: Is home to wonderful large plastic plant, and a step stool.

Biggest dissapointment. With a name like e-Teriyaki, you'd think they'd be in touch with the whole net thing, yet I found this: "Online order is not available at this time. Please order by fax, e-mail or phone.Thanks". Bah! Another bait and switch marketing ploy.

Taste: "It exploded in my mouth." e-Teriyaki conforms to the generally accepted teriyaki taste.

Truly worthy of a re-visit.
