" I had the pleasure of dining at Jinza Teriyaki for the first time last weekend, and I was blown away! The restaurant itself is cosy, and you can immediately tell the staff care about providing an excellent experience. I ordered the chicken teriyaki, and it did not disappoint. It was generously portioned and had a wonderful grilled flavor. The only downside was the gyoza—it lacked seasoning and the sauce was overwhelming. However, everything else made up for it. The staff seemed to work like a well-oiled machine, and I appreciated how welcoming they were. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Jinza Teriyaki has become my go-to spot for delicious, authentic Japanese food. The teriyaki chicken is always moist, flavorful, and grilled to perfection—not overly sauced like many other places. My coworkers and I often get takeout from here during our lunch break, and we've never been disappointed. The lady at the counter is super sweet and they usually have our orders ready quickly. I do wish they had more vegetarian options, but for what I eat, I can’t complain at all! Keep up the good work! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Jinza Teriyaki was enjoyable but could be further improved. The chicken teriyaki was good in flavor and cooked well, but I expected a bit more sauce for the moisture it lacked. The staff was super friendly, and the place felt clean. I appreciate the value for the portion sizes offered. I've seen others rave about it, and perhaps I just need to make more visits to find a higher standard for myself here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Jinza Teriyaki is a fun place to grab dinner! Whenever I visit, I'm always greeted with warm smiles. The teriyaki chicken is always a favorite and the flavor is always consistent. It has a genuine taste that many other places seem to lack. I also love their spicy chicken; it packs just the right amount of heat! Each meal comes with nice heavy portions too. If I could recommend anything, it would be to try their yaki mondu; they are crispy and delicious. A total must-try! I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been going to Jinza Teriyaki for years, and it’s become a tradition in my family. Their portion sizes are more than generous and at a fair price. I usually order the combination plates because I want to try everything. The fried rice is always on point, and their grilled items bite just right. The service has always been prompt, although sometimes there may be a short wait during peak hours. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to eat with family or friends. Every visit has been memorable, and I recommend it to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don’t overlook Jinza Teriyaki! Their chicken teriyaki is practically a work of art! Juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. Aside from the main dish, I also tried their prawns, which were outstanding—crispy and tender. The prices are fair, especially considering the portion sizes. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, the staff very accommodating. This will surely become a family favorite for us as my kids are already asking when we’ll go again. Can’t wait for another taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" Jinza Teriyaki tried to make my experience memorable but didn't quite capture it. The decor was cute and the staff was friendly. However, the food didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The teriyaki was okay but lacked the smokiness I crave when I think of the best teriyaki. However, the gyoza was absolutely fantastic! I'd consider coming back just for that! Overall, a decent spot but could work on improving the main dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
