Every time I visit, I am not disappointed. Got myself chili cheese fries, pastrami burger, and a drink. Spent about $17.13. My pastrami burger came with toasted buns, charbroiled patty, tomato, onions, and square cut lettuce with pastrami. A no thrills burger with good quality ingredients. The pastrami added a meatier vibe, with a hint of extra salt. My fries were seasoned perfectly, and the cheese melted well with the chili. I’ll be back. It is a small parking lot, but you cannot go wrong with what’s on the menu!

The owner is friendly and the food is good. It’s a small place with a few tables inside and a couple of tables outside.They have some breakfast items that are available from 8 AM to 10 AM.I’ve had a few items on their menu.The chicken teriyaki plate was good. The chicken was moist unlike another reviewer experienced. The salad that accompanies this dish is nothing fancy. Basically lettuce and dressing.The beef fried rice was very good. The rice is mixed with diced carrots, peas, green beans and scrambled eggs. The portion of beef was rather small, but the large amount of rice makes up for that. This is served with the same lettuce with dressing.The BLT was very good. I love the seasoning salt they add to the french fries. If you like your fries crispy, you need to ask for that. They’re normally served “just done“I do not recommend the burger. It probably should not be listed in their logo because it is a weak menu item. It is a frozen patty that is cooked well done and rather dry.They have a large assortment of sodas along with Gatorade. The 34 ounce draft beer is $10. They have assortment of bottled beer as well.Bag snacks are also available. Doritos, cookies, etc.

Their chicken teriyaki is so bomb! Very soft and tender. I come here when Im hungry, and I enjoy the food a lot and finish all the rice, chicken, and salad. The interior is renovated, so its much cleaner nicer. The workers are all very friendly. I also love ordering some fries on the side sometimes, because who can go wrong with fries?! They also have a new sign up!

Very good place to eat. I have high blood pressure and asked if I could get what I was ordering with no salt and they had no problems or questioned my request and it was amazing. I had shrimp with rice, added chicken and fries. Every bite was enjoyable and even though it did not have salt the flavor of the shrimp and chicken came out because it was grilled and so I didnt even need seasoning for me to enjoy it. The atmosphere was that of a quiet downtown area... The service was excellent and very attentive to your needs when ordering. This will be now be a regular place for me to eat!!!

I had a tuna sandwich at this place it was very plain and all I could taste was the mayo, not very good, friendly staff,

The food was cold. I ordered the chicken teriyaki plate, and my husband ordered the hamburger combo plate. The chicken breast was already pre-cooked, and when it arrived it was lukewarm. The hamburger was not a homemade patty, but instead a frozen patty in a hamburger and very dry.

I rarely like beef teriyaki in general, but Dons beef teriyaki is the best Ive had -- its not rubbery like some other places. Their chicken and spicy pork are also really good. None of their meat is too sweet nor salty. Their taste is well balanced. Definitely recommend!

Great food, great service, everything from the teriyaki to the pastrami sandwich is amazing. The owners are two of the nicest people I have ever met. I once forgot my wallet and when I tried to cancel my order they said i could come back and pay anytime. Very clean interior and prompt, friendly service. A must try!

Nice place to eat without driving far away. It is same menu you could see in other place like teriyaki, sandwich.But taste is very good and different because I feel I could feel the love in their food. Very friendly kind. I would recommend to all the people nearby.

I did see one bad shrimp review, ok cool I dont eat shrimp. THE BEEF AND THE CHICKEN TERIYAKI WAS SUPER GOOD! Both was amazing I mean mannnnn if I stayed in the area it would probably be my go to spot. Price is a bit more than I expected but the tax rate where Im from is different. Good food during covid-19 thanks from the trucker guy!

I had chicken teriyaki, shrimp fried rice, and beef teriyaki. My friends and I loved their food and the atmosphere. My 1.5yr old son loved the teriyaki as well. For the most part, I love how the employees are super friendly. :) Thanks for the good experience!

Great hole in the wall for a quick, delicious and price point sensitive lunch. Tiny little setup run by a korean family - heartwarming service despite the minimalist ambiance.Also have a couple of beers on tap for the really challenging days.

Best teriyaki in town!!! Amazing beautiful sweet people. You can feel the love. Food is amazing!A lot of people go for the teriyaki chicken or beef. Doesnt matter, its a win win.I just tried the shrimp fried rice and its really not that great. So if you have it in mind, go for the beef/chicken teriyaki instead.

Dont know why this place has any good reviews! I got teriyaki shrimp and the shrimp were VERY overcooked, rubbery, and smelled so fishy. They were definitely cooked with no seasoning, boiled I think, and then teriyaki sauce was sprinkled over, but it didnt leave any flavor on them. They tasted like they werent cleaned at all and had been marinating in their own, old fishy juices for days and were on the verge of going bad, but were cooked anyway!(I ate one before I realized how bad they were) They were not deveined completely, still having pieces of poop in them! Then, as a side, you get a bunch of bagged salad and cheap rice with very little meat for the price. I dont go for teriyaki to have bagged salad with italian or ranch dressing! I go for the terryaki! My boyfriend got a burger which was equally crappy. Dont recommend anyone to eat here.
