Ordered teriyaki beef and chicken combo. It came out in 7 min. Taste good. Decent price.Large portion is the plus in here.

Yakis has always held a special place in my heart. Their location in Monrovia was a popular pre football game meal stop (when it really should have been a post game meal stop). The Monrovia location has since closed, and now the corner of Alameda and Main is the spot. The menu and all its familiar flavors are the same and never disappoint. Yeah, you can go for the bowls, which range in size from small to 20-pound plates, but my order always stays the same, a yako cheeseburger, a bulldog, and a yakissito.The yako is your standard teriyaki cheeseburger but with a grilled chicken filet married into the melted cheese and topped off with onion, 1000 island and teriyaki sauces. To this day ive never had a burger quite like this anywhere else. Bougie that is I, Ill pay for a side of cabbage to add to the sandwich, it add texture and a bit of acidity that cuts through the melty burger/ chicken combination.In between bites, feel free to nibble on the bulldog. Now the bulldog is especially unique. It is a hot dog wrapped in american cheese and nestled inside a mustard coated spring roll. Accompanying the bulldog is a side of a 1/2 1000 island/ 1/2 teriyaki combination called froggy sauce. One dip and youre hooked.You have to finish off your meal with a deliciously fresh yakissito. The yakissito is a spring roll filled with a homemade pudding and deep fried. Definitely a once in a blue moon treat but worth every calorie. It comes out piping hot and satisfies like few desserts can.The vibe on the corner is lively and a great place to sit and watch the people and cars go by. Come hungry, leave satisfied seems to be the motto here no matter what you try, whether is a bowl, plate, or burger. The owner is always nice and usually either behind the grill or at the register hard at work. I always told them theyd make millions if they bottled both their teriyaki and froggy sauces. Lets hope that Yakis is still around in 50 years or as long as I can make it to Burbank. Looking forward to my next visit!

This place and employees deserve more than 5 star. I’m not a big fan of fast/street food, but sometimes I stop by to get a bite, just because I want to support them. Food is fresh and delicious, employees are working hard and doing their best to satisfy customers, that is more than 5⭐️ already. Thank, and stay forever in your business!

Great local spot. Its good and fast but not Fastfood. I got the chicken and steak teriyaki plate.

Quick stop! It had a decent rating, so I gave the teriyaki bowl a try. The flavor was decent overall. I like the grilled chicken taste with some crispy parts to it. The meat/cabbage was just the top half and the rest was rice. It didnt come with a lot of sauce, so if youre a sauce person, Id recommend asking for a bit more. I didnt finish the rice. The cabbage had hints of flavors, but nothing memorable.Would I go back? Not necessarily. But it was busy during lunch and a convenient spot for a lot of nearby workers. I was the only female amongst 6-7 people in line. For the price, it works.

Iconic corner stand that has been in Burbank as long as I have, which is the best endorsement any establishment can boast of.Food is good, outside seating is fun, definitely worth return visits.

Ok, so.This place is nothing to go out of your way for. Normal tasting chicken yaki. Some may say YUKI...But not quite.It has flavor but beware, you end up paying double for normal servings.Theres other places near by that are cheaper and same serving size.Paid $11 for a $8 plate. 😭

So. Much. Food. That. Tastes. So. So. So. Good. Bit seriously, the portions are quite generous and the food is wonderfully filling. What is great about this place is how simple and delicious it really is without trying to showcase that. I have seen this place with a massive line and decided to try it another time, and while I was there they did steady business but without making you wait or leaving you feeling that the food may be rushed. Will definitely be going back. And whatever the little fried hotdog and cheese thing is. That was so good. Try it.

It’s a bummer as I try to avoid bigger chains at all costs but this place keeps getting worse both with food quality and operational hours so I must stop patronizing Yakis.I showed up today and they were already closed at 7:50pm when their stated closing time is 8pm. I understand not coming into a dine-in establishment in the final 30min before closing but this is a takeout/order at the window and leave, not dine-in. This has happened multiple times and now. Just change the closing hour to 7pm and then have people be pleasantly surprised if they get in an order at 7:15.

If you like Teriyaki Burgers and Bowls, you need to do yourself a favor and come to the place that started it all!!! this places food is sooOooo good, the flavors are rich but light, sweet and savory, simple and extremely well made. They have a great selectionYou will walk away with a full stomach and a happy soul... for reals, plus the owner Harry is one of the most genuinely nicest person I have ever meet that truly cares about his customers... it not uncommon for you to be waiting in line and hear Harry call out the peoples name as they order.Pro Tip: Get a Bull Dog w/ Froggy sauce & take a Yakisito for desert

This is a great overall little lunch stand. It offers great teriyaki beef and chicken bowls. My personal favorite is there bacon avocado cheeseburger. It is the one of the best burgers in town. Also try the bulldogs, and the yakisito, which is the dessert option, they are amazing!

Good food. Seems pretty popular. Its on the corner of a busy intersection so it can be a little loud. Getting food to takeaway seems to be the common practice.

Only one (last paragraph) MAJOR problem with Yakis...Yakis the original Teriyaki has three (3) remarkably unique and great tasting items!Their items are going to be listed from best to best 🤔😁😎1. Yakissito, which is home made secret pudding wrapped in a spring roll and then deep fried.2. Bulldog, hot dog wrapped in a spring roll then wrapped with cheese & mustard then deep fried.3. Teriyaki bowl, charbroiled boneless, skinless with Yakis SECRET SAUCE and served with steamed rice or cabbage.My only gripe with Yakis, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEE, USE QUALITY HOT DOGS instead of the low budget mix you are serving or risk losing customers both new & since the beginning of time...

I finally made it to Yakis I have been driving by for years always saying I want to go. The food is simple and good. I shared a plate with my husband and it was more than enough for both of us. We also had an order of onion rings. We made it spicy and the flavor was wonderful not just hot. We will be going back.

A year or two ago I would have given Yaki’s 5 stars but after today’s meal, it pains me to give it 3 stars. Honestly almost closer to 2. The steak was inedible. Extremely tough and an overly strong charred taste. Seems like they need to clean the grill more regularly throughout the day. The chicken was good but still had a strong charred taste. The bulldog is always a must get. It’s unfortunate to see so many of my favorite restaurants go down in quality due to poor staff. I love the owner, he’s always so nice to everyone but I’d advise he keep a close eye on his workers.

Second to the last time I ordered from there I noticed the left over chicken went rancid in a couple days. I’ve never seen that happen before. It made me wonder if the chicken there wasn’t fresh. But my chicken teriyaki sandwich was pretty good and the value was good so I thought I would give them another try. I ordered through postmates once again, they ignored my request for extra sauce but that’s the least of my problems. I ordered a steak bowl and a chicken teriyaki sandwich. The steak bowl was made incorrectly with steak and chicken. Luckily my partner didn’t eat the chicken because my chicken sandwich got me violently ill for three days. It was the only food I ate that day so I know it wasn’t from something else. I’ve seen tons of 1 Star reviews due to dipping food quality and incredibly rude employees so this was the final straw to make the decision that I will never order from them again. Unless you feel like sitting on the toilet for 3 days I would highly recommend not eating there. Lots of other places to go to. Save yourself the trouble.

Stay far away from this horrendous shack! Very bad service and nasty attitude, I ordered the aloha sandwich meat only covered half the bun a really small portion went home and got sick also bad diarrhea shooting out like water whatever you do stay away from this unsanitary dirty shack this place needs to be closed DOWN!

Simple, good quality food on the corner of a busy intersection. My online takeout order was ready in less than 10 minutes. I ordered a Chicken Bowl with veggies and an Aloha Sandwich for under $20 not including tip. I would choose this over In N Out!

2023-03-25 21:22:28

If you expect your food to be ready when placed through phone or online be prepared to wait or re place your order when you get there. Make sure time is not your limit you might end up waiting quite a while. I dont recommend this place if youre on your break. There food is good though.

Yakis is great. Love the potato salad that goes surprisingly well with teriyaki chicken or steak. I always get the box with all that. Theres simple outdoor picnic tables to eat at. Parking is limited but you can park on the street too. The service is pretty quick too. Thanks!

Really good food! Hidden gem if you tell me, its not hidden just I never heard of it until my boyfriend took and I loved it! You have to try their burgers too.

2022-03-20 05:14:35

Okay, jokes on me a bit here I had hyped it up in my mind for years. I like the wonton but the teriyaki bowl, which theoretically should be the signature dish was really not a vast improvement over the flame broiler.

Review №33

2022-12-06 04:38:20

This place is a free-standing, walk-up joint with one guy working the order side and another guy packing food into to-go containers on the pick up side.The order guy rang me up for 2 meals instead of one (at least I got both) and told me it would be 4-5 minutes.15-20 minutes later of standing outside as delivery drivers pulled up and people who somehow managed to order just 1 meal AFTER me walked away with food...my order came up.Now, the teriyaki steak bowl is delicious. So is the potato salad I got upsold on in the value meal for an extra $0.99...but it also comes with plain, sliced cabbage and carrots on the side. For what?Maybe its traditional. Who knows?The foods good...but having done both delivery in the past and then this walk-up experience...Ill stick with delivery.

I frequent the place when the owner is present, recognizable by his black Toyota pickup truck parted to the right of Yakis. Service and quality is much improved when he is here, from my experience (since 2003).

2022-06-14 22:00:46

Great options and outstanding flavor. The Xtra-big chicken and steak bowl was the perfect size for lunch. Also got to try the Yaki burger, which, while tasty, was a bit on the thin side. Definitely want to go back and try the plate size combo and maybe a bigger burger.

This place has went downhill. Went on Monday August 1st, 2022 and the service was horrible. I was told that refills were free(and it says on the board that refills are free while dining in(which I was))but the guy who took my refill said that refills costed 2 dollars. I gave him the 2 dollars and he proceeded to put his dirty hands inside and around my cup. I then asked for ketchup because I didn’t get any with my food like I asked and the same man doing the refills on the drinks proceeded to toss the ketchup out the window.I went up to the window and asked the worker who took my refill why he charged me, when it says on the menu that refills are free. He replied in a mumbled response and I asked him what he said because I couldn’t understand him, and he walked away.I then had someone who I was with go get a refill and see if they were charged. That person came back and they didn’t charge him. The person I was with them asked the guy why he charged me and the worker said “I told him to put in the Tip Jar”(which he never told me). The same guy proceeded to stare at me while I was eating at my table and proceeded to laugh at me.I know 2 dollars isn’t that much but self tipping isn’t right. Who knows if that guy does it on a daily basis. The food isn’t even as good as it used to be too.I’ve never wrote a review for any place but what happened today just rubbed me the wrong way and it was kind of a cheap shot. I definitely won’t be coming to yaki’s any time soon.

This place has excellent service. I got exactly what I ordered and it was fresh and delicious. They use good quality meat here, so the steak is never chewy and the chicken is never fatty. I love the potato salad, and my veggies were crisp and perfectly cooked. Great food! Nice guys!

It is regular food. No great seasonings.

Review №44

2021-03-15 02:33:07

The food was way below expectations. I went there after diving by hundreds of times wanting to know what was it that had mini lines of people waiting for. Until I finally ordered a large beef and chicken plate and the was dry and tasteless, while the lettuce in the side tasted old. The potato salad was basic AF and after drowning the rice in spicy mayo was I even able to consider the rice acceptable. Maybe it was an off night for the chefs, but for my first experience it was a bad one.

Get a Dog Pound and or the Wontons. You have never had something this unique and delicious. Just had this Yako Burger (with Teriyaki chicken on top of a cheese burger. ) delicious. Weird food, but really good food.

One of my favorite burgers places and their chicken steak bowls are awesome. I used to give this pleace 5 stars however there is one cashier thats very rude. He has attitude, before you finish your order he gives your total to rush you.

Great little teriyaki spot. Small bowls are more than enough if you are watching your portions. They have a few takes outside to eat on with umbrellas. They also have some bar stool counters if you want. They take debit cards as one form of payment.

I’ve loved this place since my first visit in 2006. I have to admit that I don’t explore the menu- I’ve only had about four different item. My favorite is the Bravo Chicken Box. I forego the green salad and have them double up in the potato salad.The potato salad is fantastic. I’m extremely picky about potato salad, and 95% of the time it’s on-point. The Bravo sauce is full of flavor and pretty spicy, but it doesn’t burn your mouth. It’s a perfect balance. Harry(?), the owner is a great yet humble man. He goes out of his way to get to know his customers and if there’s any issue, he’s far more interested in fixing your problem and making sure you’re happy with your food.I travel a lot, and one of the highlights of my trips home is grabbing lunch at Yaki’s. Beware though, they get incredibly busy during the lunch rush on weekdays. Worth the 20-30 minute wait though.

2 of the 3 workers were absolutely rude and so very unprofessional. Not just to my husband but several other customers... I hope the owner realizes who hes got running the place. The food was good, as usual however we will think twice about coming back anytime soon. Weve been loyal patrons for 20+ years this was the worst service ever. Wed hate for the company to lose business due to these 2 guys.

This is one of those classic little stands that you drive by and say to yourself I have to try that place sometime. Well that sometime came and I can say I am glad I stopped and I will be stopping again and again.A working mans place down to the picture menu and outdoor seating. Theres a variety of sandwiches and rice/meat bowls and they all look good. I had the Aloha sandwich which had lots of meat, lettuce, tomato and a tasty roll. Its not fancy but its just good food at a great price.They also have a different menu item featured each day of the week to keep you coming back for more. Also like all the bowls are the same size you just get more meat with each size up.

No Salt and they always forget my grilled pineapple. Third time NOW!!!!Food is great, Outstanding.. But they need to fix the Details.. I drive 5 miles one way and they never add the pineapple or Salt. 8-19-20 number 8. Phoneorder. Just fix it.........................

Food is awesome, coming here for almost 20 years. Worst part is the parking, only a few spots for the food. The rest of the parking lot says reserved for the offices in the same parking lot. Floor can be a little dirty at times but overall the little stand is clean. Wait times can be extended but they are very efficient in cooking and getting your food to you.

One of our favorite go to spots in Burbank. Their bacon cheeseburgers is what we love most here. I think its because they put a little teriyaki sauce on it and bacon is so crispy.

Been eating a lot in Burbank the last few days and this was by far my favorite food all around in town. From what Ive been told its been around for a very long time and has always been a staple of the area. One wouldnt think that a deep fried hot dog with cheese would be so damn good but it is. Oh it is.

If youre looking for great greasy burger hut food, this place has it. You absolutely must get the bull dog if you go! Prices are pretty reasonable as well (shouldnt be more than 8 bucks for burger/bull dog/drink)

I got a burger here so I cant review their specialty (chicken and beef bowls). The burger was huge and satisfied my bacon burger craving, but it wasnt exceptional. The parking is next to none because this place is more like a roadside stand than a restaurant. I do want to try other things here.

I’ve been going to Yaki’s since it was just the original location on Honolulu in the early 90’s. The family is always pleasant, and serves consistently great food at good prices. I thought the cravings were bad when I moved to South OC, but I might turn into one of the people that buys frozen bulldogs in bulk and brings them to my new home in AZ. Insane burgers (ask for a super tanker if you’re REALLY hungry) and burritos that are virtually impossible to pick up as you get a massive heap of filling with a flour tortilla blanket on top and barely tucked in. I’ve never had a bad selection there!

The last time I bought about 25 buck worth of food which the order was clear enough that it was repeated back. I love in sun valley where I was going to have my meal when I got there the food ni brought home was edible and was lacking most of all. I called back to see about a resolution and the cashier mentioned id get t a refund or a call back to fix the issue. No call back nor did I get a refund. I can say I a little busy at time with a full time job and family so I followed up a week later with another cashier not know how or what to do, was able to resolve the issue a little by getting to know offer a remake of just my two meals or a refund I asked for the food saying itd be ready by the time I got there. Food wasnt ready but instead a phone call from Harry whom the owner was stating he wanted to make the moment right and charge me for their second mistake instead of the actual order Im owed. I spent 25 bucks initially on good that was all wrong then wasted time and effort arguing to get less. Even my remake sandwich was made incorrectly and got a sandwich only when I paid for a combo. This definitely reflects on the management Harry is such a cheap guy and makes his business look cheap ap too. I recommend going to Golden bowl in Sherman oaks or even north hollywood.

My favorite place to get a burger and fries. Fries are super hot and not greasy. Get a side of teriyaki and 1000 island for dipping. Don’t know what it’s called but they come both in the same container. Burger has great grill flavor.

Great spot for teriyaki. It’s good and exactly what you’d want. The sizes determine the amount of meat you get, not the size of the bowl; they’re all the same size bowl.

Tiny little corner stand with ridiculous flavor. Their bowls are packed with meat, and its all fantastic. The bulldog and their Yakisito are those foods you feel bad for eating, but the bulldog sauce is great, great enough to eat with their other sides and dishes. The rest of the menu leaves a lot to be desired, but the bowls alone make for an amazing experience.

I dont know what happened with this place. It use to be so good. Now the chicken tastes terrible, no flavor and tough, chewy chicken. Rice was barely warm. We will not be back! Just terrible!

Review №77

2021-01-01 20:06:12

Unfortunately this was the worst chicken teriyaki I’ve ever had. Chicken was tough and flavorless, there was no dressing on the salad, and overall it just tasted very bland and uninspired. I took it back after taking a few bites, telling them I did not like it and wanted a refund. They said, “it’s ok” so I just went along w it, they gave me a new bowl and it tasted the same.

Hispanic employees are nice, chicken too dry and tasteless.is too expensive and menu is deceiving. I ask for one large and one extra large but they look exactly the same. I asked and he said they are not one has more 🥩. which is not true judge for your self. Their onion rings are saggy too.

My first time in Teriyaki Bowl very small place but food is so delicious I highly recommend it I always pass by for almost 2 years and I never had the time to go and not stopping by but today I finally got the chance, this is good food good quality and good customer service.

Im not one to complain but this place earns this rating. I got a normal teriyaki bowl steak/chicken . The portions were a tiny bit of meat and large portion of rice like usual teriyaki places. The chicken tasted good but the beef tasted like they used an old cow that worked the fields its entire life. Tough, chewy, and not of good quality. Something as simple as the coke was somehow messed up as well. It was flat with little to no carbonation and ridiculously sweet. All in all, I would like to believe all the reviews about this place being great and maybe I just went at a bad time but for now I wont be returning.

Can not describe how good their food is. A little bit on the pricey side but i guarantee it will fill you up. Share it with a friend and offset the cost. Their menu will surprise you. P. S. Try the bulldog.

I ordered the chicken and steak bowl. My girlfriend ordered the chicken bowl. No taste, bland, and the pickled cabbage had a undesired taste. They even shorted me four cents on my change. I am sorry to say that Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias went there to eat with Jay Leno. I guess regular Latinos dont get the real Yakis.

I dont see why this place has two dollar signs. The food is quite inexpensive. All Ive had there are the burgers. They are really good. I recommend the the double cheeseburger. Its like four bucks. Flame grilled. Lots of beefy grill flavor. Havent had the teriyaki or other items. If you feel like a good burger in burbank skip the habit or in and out. Try yaki,s instead. Ive eaten there three consecutive days in the past.

I love Yakis. Their chicken bowls are great, but their bulldogs are something else. This particular Yakis is a strictly outdoor place. Keep that in mind if youre trying to find a place to escape the heat. Even so, this place is worth sitting outside in the summer for.

Get the yumbo plate for $12 and split it with a hungry friend. With the amount of meat, rice, super garlicky potato salad and coleslaw sides, you can both stuff yourselves swole til you have the meat sweats and cant even breathe. You will do so with great joy because it is freaking delicious. Yakis is the spot. They do not mess around.

Horrible service, two of the stuff members were rude and really unprofessional. He would pass and I’m calling him in the window and he would ignore me. Then he wouldn’t take my order untill he joked about why he was ignoring me. I asked him why he was being like that and he joked and laughed. I didn’t need that today or ever. First review I make and I’m disgusted I had to do this.
