Thai Dressing

Yesterday, my family and I visited Thai Dressing, originally called Thai Pots. Their teriyaki chicken is labeled as Thai Pots Teriyaki. The chicken was wok-fried after being separated into small pieces. The sauce was very thin and sweet with a touch of soy. Now, don't be surprised when they bring you your meal, almost all of the chicken is covered in an assortment of vegetables. Your plate will be covered in a heaping mountain of broccoli, green peppers, carrots, cabbage, pineapple, and many other veggies of sorts. Along with your vegetables, er, teriyaki chicken, you will receive a side of rice and an egg roll. I wasn't very enchanted by this version because the food tasted hard as though it hadn't been cooked very  long. This meal is great if you're on a diet. 3/5 stars

Thai House

This was just my second time going to the Thai House. Though, only today, did I have teriyaki chicken. Their chicken is cut into small, nonuniform pieces, then cooked stir fry style. From what I saw, all the pieces were white meat. This sauce had a sweet, almost pineapple like, flavor. It's texture was somewhere between thick and thin. One important thing to remember, the sauce covered the entire plate, there was so much of it. Served with broccoli and carrots on the side. This meal was a lunch special dished with fried or steamed rice and garden salad or soup of the day. I liked this version due to it's flavorful sauce. 5/5 stars

Saigon Pho

While in Chandler yesterday, my mom and I visited Saigon Pho, a Vietnamese restaurant. This version of teriyaki chicken was served over steamed rice (otherwise known as white rice). The chicken is both white and dark meat, grilled then cut into small pieces. Instead of sauce, the chicken was marinated in teriyaki. The marinade was reasonably salty. The vegetables on the side included, carrots and cabbage. What I liked about this type of chicken is that it is both simple and tasty. 4/5 stars

The Galley

Happy Birthday, Mom!!!
Last weekend we drove to Morro Bay for my mom's, eh, 40th birthday (don't tell her I said that). On the night of her actual birthday, we went to The Galley for dinner. I was sort of worried because I don't like seafood and most of the food was just that. Anyway, the chicken breasts were lightly grilled and marinated in teriyaki and pineapple juice. They didn't have any sauce actually on the chicken. They (I think it was two chicken breasts) were served with pineapple slices and mixed vegetables. I chose the garlic mashed potatoes as my choice of side. To compliment the meal, they included an orange slice. My mother was very grateful that they didn't sing to her. 3/5 stars

Costco

A few days ago, my mom bought some frozen teriyaki chicken from Costco. The company name is Hawaiian Style Bowls. This entree is served in a bowl. It includes green beans, carrots, broccoli, red peppers, and regular white rice. The chicken is partly cooked then sliced. The sauce is thick, sweet, and salty all at the same time. To prepare the teriyaki chicken, you must cook it as directed then stir everything together. 3/5 stars

RA Sushi

I went to RA Sushi today with my family. RA's teriyaki chicken is great. I got the lunch style teriyaki chicken which is served with everything in one bowl. In the bottom of  the bowl, they have a large mound of Japanese sticky rice. The next layer is vegetables: broccoli, carrots, sugar snap peas, and the best sauteed sweet onions ever. I don't even like onions and I ate all of it. The chicken is one piece of white meat cooked then sliced. It's sauce is reasonably sweet and thick. The only thing I found that was negative, was that they didn't give you much chicken. 4/5 stars

The Elephant Bar

Today, I went to the Elephant Bar. Like every place I go, I ordered teriyaki chicken. Actually, I ordered the Crispy Teriyaki Chicken. Why they called it that when there was no other types of teriyaki chicken, I don't know. Yet they where right about it being crispy. The good type of crispy. The sauce complimented the chicken very nicely. The sauce was thin and "soyey," cooked with vegetables such as green and red peppers, shredded carrots, and bok choy, Asian cabbage, to add flavor. This dish is served with a bowl of either brown or white rice. One warning I would give this meal though is that it's very salty. 4/5 stars.

Aloha Kitchen

I went to Aloha Kitchen in Mesa with my brother and my mother today. I got the Teriyaki Chicken Plate. This order includes teriyaki chicken served on a bed of cabbage with a scoop of Japanese sticky rice and your choice of macaroni-potato or tossed salad. I always get an extra scoop of rice instead of salad because I don't like mayonnaise or salad dressing. Aloha Kitchen's style of teriyaki chicken has more of an island feel to it. It's sauce is thicker and sweeter than most places and the chicken has a moister taste. The chicken is probably moister because they cook the chicken then cut it. Personally, I think Aloha Kitchen's style has no flaws. 5/5 stars.
