9 reviews for Teriyaki Yummy
I am bumping this place by one star. Ever since I first discovered it, I have been going pretty regularly (pretty much on a weekly basis) and I love this place now. I'm a fixture here! They recognize my voice when I'm on the phone, and when I go pick up my order, I see the bag labeled "Anna" sitting on the counter, and I know another delicious meal awaits me.
The staff is so friendly and sweet -- I've come to know them over the past few months. We speak the same dialect of Chinese, and they always keep me there for a few minutes in order to chat with me and catch up.
I don't think I've had one dish from there that I haven't liked. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. I've tried both the Chinese and Japanese sides of the menu, and my favorite dish remains the same as it has on Day #1 - Chicken Teriyaki bowl with dark meat and fried rice. Yum yum!

Based on the good reviews here, I checked this place out for the first time this past weekend, and I… Read more »
To tell you the truth, I would have never thought to order food from here. But one day I got one of their menus in my mailbox, looked at the expansive menu of tasty sounding Chinese and Japanese dishes (sushi!) and thought, why the heck not? And they have bubble tea...hello!!! Bubble tea at my door in less than an hour? Yes, please. I ordered the 4 piece nigiri (shrimp, salmon, tomago, and tuna) and chicken teriyaki combo with a side of veggies and was pleasantly surprised. It was soooo GOOD! Perfectly seasoned chicken and you can even ask them to give you brown rice instead of white rice, if you wish. You had a choice of either miso soup or seaweed salad. I went with the former and my fiance went with the latter and it turns out that you get generous portions of both (also both very GOOD!). The sushi was surprisingly of very good quality: the seafood was very fresh. The spring rolls weren't bad either. They use the thin eggroll wrappers vs. the thick kind that some places use, which is always a plus in my book.
Delivery was quick and the lady who answered the phone was friendly and helpful. Will be ordering for delivery again next time I'm too lazy to venture out for good Chinese/Japanese/Sushi.
I am not a fan of Chinese food, however my husband would eat it for breakfast, lunch & dinner. So the fact that I rated this place 5 out of 5 stars really says something about this place (trust me, it does!!).
I am impressed by the quality of the food. The rice is perfect. It's not the typical dark mushy rice you find at your standard Chinese food restaurant. The chicken is not fatty and the veggies are fresh (I love that they put zucchini in their LoMein!). The menu is also not your mother's Chinese food take out menu! You won't find sweet and sour chicken here (thank goodness!). Instead you will find dishes like Coconut Curry Beef! YUM! And as an added bonus (at least to my husband) they offer Brown Rice with their dinners.
If you're like me and not really a fan, but married to someone who is a HUGE fan, then this is the place that will make you WANT to order Chinese take out!
Yes, the name does make you cringe or think that the food might not be so delicious, but I must tell you.... Teriyaki Yummy rocks!!!! I am very picky about my asian food and this place is surprisely awesome!
We have ordered delivery twice and both times the food arrived in just under 20 minutes. We have tried items from their chinese menu as well as their japanese. Here is what we love. I love chinese eggplant, so we ordered their beef and egglant. Regarding portions, one item is enough food for two meals for myself. For my husband, it is one meal. The Beef with eggplant came in delicious sauce, the eggplant was tender but not mushy and the beef was very moist. There could have been more beef though. We have also tried their schezwan shrimp, which is also delicious, but there are very few shrimp, still worth the try though. They just started offering stir fried udon noodles. We tried that with beef and that is our new go to late night out food after a binge. Lastly, another solid item on the menu is their beef or chicken teriyaki. The portions are huge and extremely tasty.
I am surprised by all the good reviews of this place because my experience was a big MEH. They constantly drop off menus in my building so I finally gave them a shot and I was not impressed but honestly I have pretty high standards for Asian food. I hate when a place doesn't list major ingredients in a dish. I ordered shrimp with peanuts and it says it comes with rice. OK I got 8 small shrimp and 5 peanuts hidden under an absolutely enormous pile of zucchini and green peppers, probably the only 2 vegetables on the planet I despise. I am still hungry after eating this and the 4 tiny ass grocery store sorry excuses they call dumplings. I don't know why I continually order from these greasy spoon American Chinese places and hope for a semi-decent meal. Maybe it is the optimist in me that figures one of them has to be special. Maybe I will try this place again in desperation and be surprised I get a good meal but I highly doubt it.
Teriyaki Yummy is an anomaly. Usually, when the word "best" or "delicious" or "famous" or (dare I say it) "kickass" is somehow a part of the business's name, their actual product and service is so far from the aforementioned adjective, it's nearly comical. But this place actually IS yummy. Not to mention fresh and convenient!
Their well designed menu speaks for itself. Not your typical Chinese menu, with an overwhelming number of choices and that dizzying red print, their lay out is clean and concise, without leaving you wanting for more.
Half Japanese, Half Chinese, their lineup features sushi, classic and specialty maki, and traditional American-influenced Chinese dishes like lo mein. Their Szechuan Spicy Tofu Bowl with brown rice was a very generous portion, nice and spicy, and for $5, it'd be a real challenge to find a cheaper dinner.
Sushi and good Chinese delivered to Eastie? Score in a big way. It's a refreshing change from Hong Kong Harbor, which sufficed for hangover sustenance and that's where it ended,
Dude, this place surprised the hell out of me. First of all, it's in Chelsea, not exactly the culinary capital of greater Boston. And what's even stranger is that it's DELICIOUS.
Doesn't look like much from outside, but it has saved my life when those hankerings for spicy cashew shrimp have reared their ugly heads.
Similar to most Chinese restaurants, I don't think I could ever actually eat there, and don't really want to spend much time sitting in the restaurant waiting for my order, and really don't want to think about the fact that my food came from the restaurant at all. But once I get it home and forget about all of that, I'm a happy camper. Try it. Seriously. Good eats.
I didn't want to cook last night and I also didn't want pizza. I was craving Chinese and came across the reviews of this place. Although I went in wanting Chinese in the end I ordered off the Japanese menu.
The order got called in and Matt was totally impressed. The order was repeated back to him and everything was accurate. The delivery time was longer than I would have liked (45 minutes), but it was free and thanks to basketball on TV I didn't even notice.
I ordered tofu teriyaki, which was only $6 for a really big portion. Fresh veggies, lightly seared tofu and a side of brown rice. It was light in flavor, yet perfect. I also got a side of the veggie dumplings, $3 for 5 of them, which I thought was a deal. The boy ordered sushi and was impressed with the food, portions and prices.
With the prices being so great and the food being so fresh, we will definitely order again!
This place pleasantly surprised me. Having had some bad experiences with chinese food at some of the East Boston establishments, my fiancee and I decided to give this place in Chelsea a go. My first impression of this place came way before the food even arrived. This is going to sound strange, but I really found the menu to be pleasing to the eye, and my fiance also said the lady on the phone was extremely friendly. The food is a combination of Japanese and Chinese food, with a great selection of sushi. Our food arrived delivery within a reasonable time frame and then it was time to chow down! The sushi was excellent, as was the chicken teriyaki. We chose to have vegetables added to the teriyaki, which really made the dish pop. I would highly suggest this, along with brown rice for a pretty healthy take-out meal. I am placing this restaurant on my list of old standbys, as its been the best asian takeout I've experienced in my adventures so far.
