“ This is is a great place for a quick take out. The food is pretty good. I don’t think anything can go wrong here since the food is pretty simple. From the time you order to the time you get your food is pretty fast. ”
“ this is literally my favorite place in the whole mall, i have never had a bad experience with them! only downside is it is very filling, so i dont end up eating the whole thing. ”
“ This is located inside the food court of Jordan Creek mall. I recommend trying the # 1 combo of Chicken Teriyaki. The egg rolls are also good here. ”
“ Awesome food! On the griddle in front of you. Very food sauce! 6 Stars! ”
“ I always liked Great Teriyaki ever since 2004, but today was the first time I've eaten here since 2006. I ordered the Teriyaki Beef with vegetables and rice, and I was able to watch them grill my food on the wok. The employees were professional, efficient, and pleasant. The store looked clean to me, and I thought the food provided a good value. ”
“ I can't stress enough how much I LOVE this place. My family and I have been going to this place my whole life. I moved several states away, but still, every time I visit home, I ALWAYS grab the #1 chicken combo here!! For $11.39 I get a heaping pile of rice, steamed veggies, and delicious teriyaki chicken. I always have leftovers or split it with someone because it's so much. I find it to be way yummier and more generous portions than any other teriyaki shop or restaurant. The steamed veggies is the only lacking thing since they definitely could use some seasoning or more flavor, but I honestly like that they're simple/plain since it balances out the rich chicken and is easy on the stomach. But frankly, I could also just take it home and season it to my preference anyways. The workers are also insanely fast, efficient, and consistent with the portions and seasonings. It's fun watching them make the food in front of me while I wait and drool. Overall, for the price, the quantity, and quality, few other food vendors top Great Teriyaki. I'll gladly walk past the Chick-fil-A and others, because if I ate there, I will spend much more than $11.39 and still be hungry shortly after ”
