My boyfriend loves the little Tokyo chain, whenever we are at a mall, that’s what he would go for. Today he was craving it, and seaport was the closest location so we stopped by. It was especially crowded today for some reason, there was a long line, since we were sharing we ordered double meat chicken, teriyaki. We were in front of the hibachi pan waiting for our food. It was crowded with a lot of tourists. There were people in front and back of us, and they ordered teriyaki shrimp/beef. On the left side of the pan, they were cooking fresh chicken for the chicken teryaki, on the middle they were cooking fresh beef and shrimp for the tourist. On the far right side there are a bunch of dark burnt meat(didn’t know what it was) In the back of my mind, I’m thinking okay cool, we getting freshly cooked chicken. boy was i WRONG, While they were just about finished serving the beef and shrimp teryaki to the tourists in front of me and in back of me, they had finally start serving the chicken teryaki. To my surprise — they guy reached for the dark, burnt, soggy looking meat from the far right smacked it on my plate. I was in shocked. So… first of all, if the chicken was already done, why’d you make me wait for it? Second why am i getting, what seems to be over night chicken!!! So whatever we sucked it up and started to eat it anyway. And ofcourse, the taste is disgusting, it is completely burnt taste, and has a soury after taste, like it was five nights old. Completely disgusting. This is the worst little tokyo I have encountered. When you’re at seaport, save your money for something else like pizza.

This place was packed because the hot food was selling like hot cakes. I decided to try something different and ordered the salmon avocado roll. It was only ok but definitely frozen salmon. The wait for it was also very long. If you go here, I recommend sticking with the hot food.

It’s cool. You just gotta love the free samples from the food court in the South Street Seaport. I love getting the dirty looks from the other mean Asian moms as I eat free samples at all locations before finally coming here to buy my plate of junk teriyaki chicken and rice. Hey, they’re 50 cents cheaper than the other Chinese food locations in the food court. The teriyaki chicken hits the trifecta of salt, sweet, and fatty. I thought the meat was pretty salty though, but eh, it’s mall food court food.

I feel like I’ve snuck enough free sample tastings of their chicken to say I’ve tried this place. Well, not really, but I did also sample some of my friend’s order(heehee). It’s typical mall food and Americanized Japanese fast food, albeit a bit greasier than usual. The guy taking orders at the counter is rather pushy. You get a choice of two sides — fried rice, noodles, or some generic looking salad, topped off with their sweet teriyaki chicken cooked on a hot grill right in front of you, before being piled onto your plate. It’s satisfyingly sweet, if you don’t mind the greasiness.
