" I'm a frequent customer, but I have to express my frustrations! While the food is undeniably tasty, the service could improve. They often forget simple requests like chopsticks. However, I've fallen in love with their spicy chicken teriyaki. The portion sizes are huge for the price, which partly compensates for the slower service. It’s a nice spot for takeout, just know that you might need to be patient! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a lovely experience here today! I ordered the chicken teriyaki with extra sauce, and it was divine. The portion was so generous that I couldn't finish it all in one sitting! The atmosphere is cozy, though a little small and not designed for dining in. The staff was slightly curt, but they were efficient and got my order right away. I will definitely be back to satisfy my cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my favorite takeout option in the area! Not only is the food fresh and flavorful, but I also love that they are a family-run business. There’s a certain charm about that. Although there can be a bit of a wait during peak hours, it's usually worth it. I enjoy the spicy chicken teriyaki the most; the flavor is fantastic! General dining ambience doesn’t matter much to me, as I'm primarily focused on the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits, I've gotta say the teriyaki here is well worth the hype! The chicken is juicy, the rice is cooked to perfection, and I always appreciate the extra sauce they include. I've brought friends here, and each time they rave about the food. It's a small, casual place that feels homey but lacks frills. Don't expect polite service; focus more on the food, and you will be satisfied. I'm a regular here now! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a true taste of teriyaki, look no further than Teriyaki First! The spicy chicken is out of this world, bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly each time. Plus, the portion sizes are generous! I often find myself heading here after a long day just to enjoy a comforting meal. The owners are hardworking, and though they might seem a bit gruff, they genuinely care about their craft. I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying Teriyaki First, and it was fantastic! I had the sweet and sour chicken, which was tangy and flavorful, accompanied by rice, which was light and fragrant. The service was quick, and I appreciated that they were upfront about their takeout policy. The only downside was the lack of atmosphere; it’s more of a stop-and-go place, but that's to be expected. Overall, I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was quite disappointed with my visit. The food was just okay, not bad but certainly not the best I've had, and not very authentic either. I encountered a rude employee who seemed annoyed by my presence, which made the experience less enjoyable. Prices are decent, which is a plus, but I probably won't be rushing back anytime soon.
