" I can't help but rave about the spicy chicken teriyaki here! It's consistently delicious and the portions are more than enough, often leaving me with leftovers for later. I appreciate that the food is made fresh upon ordering, even if it takes a little time. The small, family-run nature of the restaurant gives it a charming vibe, but sometimes I feel like the owners could use a smile! Regardless, if you're craving authentic teriyaki, this spot won't disappoint. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been getting takeout from Teriyaki First for years and I still love it! The spicy chicken is consistent, and they give you a lot of food for your money. There's sometimes a little wait, but it's worth it for the quality. While the service isn’t always warm, I appreciate the efficiency. This place is a staple in my meal rotation. " (*Curated Review*)

" The teriyaki is okay, but what really stands out is how fresh everything is! However, I had high expectations of the service based on other reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was lackluster, my request for chopsticks felt like an inconvenience for the staff. The food is decent, so if you're looking for flavorful teriyaki, it could be worth your time, just prepare for a somewhat indifferent service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on the reviews, but my experience didn't live up to expectations. While the food was decent, the attitude from the owner was off-putting. I felt like I was being rushed through my order without proper acknowledgment. The quality of the food was good, just not stellar. I might give it another shot later depending on my cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is always good for a quick meal! I usually get the spicy chicken teriyaki, and I appreciate their speedy service when I'm in a rush. The taste has a nice balance of sweet and savory, which keeps me coming back. I've tried the beef too, and while it’s not my favorite, it’s still solid. It can get busy, but there's no denying the flavor and value here. " (*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.
