Teriyaki Madness

I’ve come to learn teriyaki is huge around WA. I was never a fan of teriyaki as I’m not a fan of very sweet sauces. We ordered teriyaki chicken salad take out twice and it was good both times. They give an insane amount of meat for $ 8! You can have at least two meals from the one order!

Best teriyaki place hands down. The first time I went here I expected to have average food but it was way better than I thought it would be I would recommend eating here. To bad I don’t live in this area but when I’m here I eat it. Great customer service food came out in about 7 min I don’t mind because it’s fresh

Great food a classic teriyaki place. Need to stop using styrofoam for cups and dishes… not pro environmentally friendly

STAY AWAY!!!
hadn’t been here in a while so I thought I would check it out.
HORRIBLE SERVICE!
Asked for ½ spicy chicken ½ Katsu. They couldn’t do that.
My daughter spilled water and I couldn’t find napkins anywhere on the premises. Asked if I could have a few and they ignored me then finally came over with a rag and wiped it up leaving the table wet.
RUDE, CRAMPED AND TOTAL NEGATIVE
while food was good, there are literally dozens of options nearby.
DONT EVER GO HERE!!!
If your business isn’t worth smiling and a few extra napkins, then this is your place… if you value your time and your $ then pick another option!!!

Great spicy chicken and steamed veggies. The food has a ton of flavor, and the portions are generous.

So I love the food here, I really do. That Cucumber salad is just amazing. Also the Gyoza, surprisingly good??? It’s not AMAZING but it’s way better than most fast-​food gyoza. I usually get the regular Teriyaki or Katsu, both are great.
So why two stars?
I’ve seen two of the (I assume) owners at the counter. One of them, a lady, was very pleasant. The other, an elderly man, was– he was «terse» at best with me, as if he didn’t want me to be there, but the REAL reason I won’t be going back for a while is because the way he treated the cooking staff. It was super rude and I felt really bad for them. I didn’t really enjoy my meal after seeing him yell at them.
Again, the food is great. It’s unfortunate the service isn’t as good :\ Looking at some of the other reviews, I’m not the first to mention this older gentleman’s rudeness. They need to fix that.

Great place! Efficiently run and wonderful go-​to for a quick pickup dinner. We go here all the time.

I ate at Teriyaki Madness in Kirkland last night with a few friends. Immediately upon entering the restaurant and looking at the menu, I could feel the tension between the older gentlemen at the cash register and our small group. It was our first time eating here so we just needed a few minutes to check out the menu — we even let a customer who walked in behind us order first because we knew we would be holding him up. After deciding on our order I walked up to the counter only to be interrupted after each item (we all ordered on one ticket) with, «Okay, that’s it?» The older gentlemen was so extremely rude that I began to feel uncomfortable and tried to smile and apologize each time I said, «No, we would also like…». It made for a pretty awkward experience. Not to mention that he tapped on the screen showing my total as I was grabbing my debit card from my purse. I tipped well because I had only heard great things about this place and I thought maybe it would put the man in a better mood. Obviously, my efforts went unnoticed as he screeched out our orders, multiple times, as they became ready… even though we quickly jumped up the first time he said it. I felt weird asking for an extra napkin AND there was a hair on my fork (it wasn’t worth mentioning last night. he clearly was not in a good mood). Anyway, I’m definitely willing to give this place another try. Maybe it was what we were wearing, because we were new, that we decided to eat there instead of taking it home, who knows. I have a feeling the man working last night was the owner and I hope nobody else gets treated this way when they dine here.

Teriyaki done right at a good price. Quick and friendly service. Chicken grilled just right.

The service here was prompt and the food decent. I thought it was a bit over cooked and over salted. I prefer Nasai Teriyaki around the corner.

Skip the fried rice if you’re fond of it! The fried rice here is the worst I’ve had. They definitely use frozen vegetables and the rice really just doesn’t taste good.
However, the shrimp in the friend rice was delicious so I have a feeling their teriyaki is wonderful. Should have gone with that.
Also if friendly customer service and atmosphere are important to you, don’t come here. The people are very rude and I continuously smiled at each person and received a frown back each time. Oh well.

The food is decent — at times it is very very chewy. Also the cashier is far from nice and the place is not very clean.

Food is average for teriyaki. There are two people who run the register, a lady and a man. The man is very rude and acts as if he doesn’t give a $hit if you choose his restaurant or not.
The plastic forks are the flimbsiest things I’ve ever seen! Spend the extra penny and get something your customers can actually use!
Overall, food and location are good enough to keep me coming back but I refuse to look the guy at the register in the eye, because he refuses the same to me.

Bigger portions, longer wait than Madness 2: The Teriyakian. Cucumber salad wasn’t overly vinegar flavored. Spicy chicken was just hot enough. Good white rice base for the foundation the chicken was on. Dunno if lady understood my questions and brochure had old prices (everything used to be fifty cent cheaper) I don’t even know why she told me that. Tasted good, price is about average now to other places in the area

Cucumber salad, LOTS of chicken and rice. What’s not to like? Pretty fairly priced too! I go here probably 2,3 times a week when I’m too busy to cook or go grocery shopping. They always know my order and it take them about 2 minutes for them to get it to me! Love this place NAM NAM NAM

The egg rolls are amazing. Eat them with the sweet and sour sauce and then thank me later.
The teriyaki is the best in town, the portions are good. It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s the way to go if that’s what you’re craving.
They are never friendly. No one smiles, no one thanks you, and they generally cast off the impression that you’re sort of inconveniencing them. I’d give them four stars, but it’s seriously pretty bad.
I’m not joking about the egg rolls though.

This was a great place to stop for a quick lunch with my family. The seating is a bit limited for the high traffic this restaurant gets. Our party of 6 had to split up to separate tables, but there was enough seating to go around. Service was prompt, food was delicious, and prices were very fair. Portions are very large so if you don’t want leftovers you might consider sharing.

I have been going there for almost 7 years.
Good things.
1. Good portion
2. Good price
3. Good owner
I used to eat and finsh their teriyaki alone because it was so delicious and can’t get that much meat from anywhere else. But as a result, I gained my weight so much.
So, now, I don’t necessarily finish it by myself, instead I share with my wife. Yes, I am telling you how big and generous they give to you at reasonable prices.
Another good thing is that their chicken is very juicy and fresh, because their turnaround is very quick and cooks so many chicken teriyaki continuously. Look at their grills, there already are twenty chicken teriyaki being grilled before you come. So you get the freshest chicken teriyaki in 1~2 mins.

Maybe they know teriyaki, we didn’t try that, but they don’t know stir fried veggies or classical chinese dishes (or how to display/​advertise those dishes honestly.) If they were closer we’d have returned the food.
Cashew chicken was nothing but bland teriyaki chicken with stir fried veggies and some cashews, looked nothing at all like what they showed on the menu picture.
Veggie stir fry with tofu, the tofu was mostly huge chunks that were almost too big for my mouth (which is not small).
In both entrees the veggies ranged from tiny to huge pieces, prepped very inconsistently. Also cooked twice past death and vastly dominated by cabbage — who doesn’t love piles of overcooked cabbage?
Gyoza seemed to be grocery store gyoza cooked from frozen, not made by them, bland and cheap. Dipping sauce was safeway chinese style, «double hi» brand, cheap stuff in packets.
Teriyaki sauce was thin and not flavorful, maybe Kikkoman.

This is one of those growing little chains of yaki joints that’s doing it right. Looks like they have a couple spots on the west side and then this one here in Kirkland. This is one of Kirkland’s lower-​profile strip malls (you become something of a strip mall connoisseur if life brings you through Kirkland with any regularity). There’s decent parking. Just to let you know they’re seriously knocked-​out cuckoo about serving teriyaki, the word «Madness» in their sign is written in all different colors, and kind of off-​key, like a little kid wrote in crayon. Nutty!
You walk in and there’s not much seating, but they’re continually rocking the to-​go orders. People are grabbing their little plastic bags every couple minutes, so the kitchen is always banging, even if there are only a couple of stools taken. In fact, they don’t even have plates and silverware – you eat out a clamshell with plastic forks even if you’re dining in.
The chicken breast yaki is good stuff, tender, flavorful, well-​spiced. What sets Teriyaki Madness apart is the side dish: a nice little pile of cucumber slices. A great combination with spicy chicken yaki, and it makes you wonder why no one else is doing it. Good stuff.
