I've been to this Spring Branch location of Teriyaki Kitchen since they first opened. It's a little hole-in-the-wall Korean/Japanese restaurant that's hidden and a bit isolated from the main Koreatown area of Houston. It's run by a super nice, old Korean couple, and the quality of the foods and service have always been consistent. I usually get one of the teriyaki plates, the katsu plates, or the bento, but they also have different noodles, curry, and fried rice available. You can choose your choice of rice/noodles/sides. On my most recent visit for a quick dinner for two, we got the beef teriyaki plate and the pork katsu plate with curry, and both dishes were delicious. You really can't miss with anything you order from here. The portions are large for the price, and it's the perfect place to grab a quick and tasty meal if you're in the area.

It's a small, hidden little place that I wouldn't have found if someone else didn't recommend it to me. Service and prices are pretty average. The food was great, I had the brown rice with pork katsu and a side of curry. The katsu was very crispy and still moist on the inside. It was also a pretty big cutlet compared to other places I've had it at.

My order: teriyaki chicken plate, steamed rice, potato salad & an extra side of veggies. Teriyaki kitchen offers a menu that is centered around well executed teriyaki meals with options like grilled chicken, beef & salmon. I've been here a couple of times and haven't tried anything besides their grilled teriyaki chicken plate. The chicken is grilled to perfection & then glazed with a rich & savory, sweet soy-based sauce. They also have spicy options. For the base, you have options between white, brown or fried rice. I've had both the white & brown rice and it's been great all times (yes, there is such thing as bad rice). As for sides; your options are potato salad, steamed veggies or broccoli. If you order to-go, ask them not to put the potato salad with the rest of the meal (unless you don't mind hot potato salad lol). I can't say enough about that potato salad, it almost carries the meal. I would also like to note that this is a small establishment so there's not a whole lot of seating arrangements. It's located at the end of a shopping strip which makes it easy to drive by & miss. It does get busy during peak hours so call in your order if you're short on time. Ask for extra teriyaki sauce & hot sauce! Between my husband and I, we spend about $30.

This small whole in the wall isn't much to the naked eye in terms of ambiance and it was a little bit of a wait in terms of service. The was absolutely worth it, they have a mouth watering bento box. I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing the food was, the California rolls were yummy. The Teriyaki shrimp and fried shrimp were absolutely off the chain. I would highly recommend this little gem for a great lunch pop in.

This has become our new favorite go to spot for some Asian food. We really like their Spicy Teriyaki chicken, it's packed with flavored the chicken is cooked to perfection sweet and spicy. The beef udon was a little underwhelming. It was packed it with more udon noodles with a thin top layer for beef, which was disappointing. Beef was flavorful however, I just wish there was MORE of it. The special fried rice is your combination rice of beef and chicken mixed nothing different from your usual fried rice that you get from there. I would say overall Spicy Teriyaki is our fav!
