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.
