I'm giving this place a 3 cause their portions are big and they taste good. It's hard to enjoy the taste with terrible service. Went up to order a teriyaki chicken meal with an Arizona ice tea and she was rude and pointed at the cooler for me to go grab it. Really? They should adapt some literacy for American language since they are living here.

I feel like you get a good amount of food for your money's worth. I ordered their Shrimp fried rice and got a large amount, enough for 2 meals! Although Teriyaki Boy is not the most authentic Asian food I've tried around town, but it does hit the spot for a college student craving Asian food!

School's out for the kiddos, but still in for Daddy, so the kids both get to come hang out for lunch! I asked my daughter where she'd like to go for. Her first choice was Noodle Bowl, but then she saw Teriyaki Boy and went ape! She is bonkers for a good teriyaki. I'm not sure how many 12 year olds you can say that about, but it's nice to see her doing more smiling and less eye rolling, so we went for it. This was my second time in. They have pretty decent lunch specials, $6 a plate, tv going, ample seating, a high chair (bonus!), free water with easily available cups. Parking is hard (what genius thought backing in to angled parking was a great idea on the busiest street on campus??) I'm surprised to see that this is a Japanese place. The signs everywhere are all in Chinese, which is awkward since I'm American and don't speak a lick of either and can tell the difference. Actually, the whole experience was kind of awkward. The cashier was very sweet but was either not very conversational or didn't speak much English and was uncomfortable. The only English is a basic, sometimes confusing, description of the dish. No ingredients, and God save you if you have an allergy or food sensitivity because unfortunately all I got was a lot of nodding and smiling, which looks VERY agreeable but was, ultimately, not helpful. Our food was dropped off at our table in a styrofoam box in a plastic bag with plastic forks and napkins- every Eugenian's dream. I noticed that all of the other diners got actual plates. They may have been worried, but no, the toddler has not yet placed in discus. Now, I don't want to be *that* person who asks what's in every dish. I thought ordering teriyaki chicken was pretty straightforward. It's teriyaki chicken, which I assume (due to it being presented this way in every other restaurant I've patronized) to be chunks of chicken in a teriyaki sauce. What we got was teriyaki onions with chicken. The dish was darn near 50% onions. The reason for the onion shortage during the Summer of 2015 may well be our teriyaki chicken plate. I apologize to everyone who uses onions as an accent flavoring or as a superstitious cold remedy. I just didn't think to ask, "Is this dish mostly onions? Because we are sensitive to onions. We hate them and they hate us." I just never think to ask that! I remember asking if there were veggies (nod and smile) and asking for fried rice (nod and smile), but not whether the dish was mostly comprised of onions. I made a note for next time. Henceforth, wherever I shall dine, I shall ask, "Is this mostly onions?" and if they flick me any bunk a la "Lady- this is an ice cream parlor!" I will give them the side eye, nod and smile.

A Chinese place with a menu written in Chinese is a good sign. Having English offerings strewn all over the walls and tables, with no help at all at the counter is a bad sign. This place is really poorly organized, and not very accommodating to non-Chinese customers. On a busy Saturday they only had two cooks covering the whole place with no other waitstaff. The one taking orders seemed to have little English. People waited at least five minutes at the counter before having their orders taken, then waited another 15-20 minutes for their food. All of this could be forgiven if the food were great, but it's not. DLW had a bowl of wonton soup which set a new standard for blandness, Neither the broth nor the dumplings tasted like anything at all, but it was piping hot. My salt and pepper shrimp was served with shrimp unpeeled and not deveined. I realize this is usually how Chinese people eat it, but it was unexpected for me. They tasted alright, and they did not make me ill. If East Meets West is closed, which it is on Saturdays, go to Maple Garden for you Chinese fix rather than here.

I went here for lunch with a co worker. Walked in and the whole place was in Japanese writing with the few exceptions. I can't read Japanese. The lunch specials were in American, so I went with that. I got Kung pow chicken. This is only after I finally communicated to a person that couldn't speak American. That was tough. It tasted like the rice has some sort of plastic cooked into it, did not eat that. The Kung pow was not much better. I got some teriyaki sauce and dipped it in that, not so good. I then asked for sweet and sour, better only if I submerged the whole piece into the sauce. If you want sushi they have that, I'll never try it there. The service was horrible even without the language barrier. The Pepsi was good. The place has boxes stacked up in the eating area, those should be away from customers. Kind of dirty and smelly. I would not recommend this to my enemies. Good luck and hope you Ike it better than I. My co worker had harsher words then I about it.

Good luck communicating with English. Just point and don't use American Express. If you can't find another place open, and you are sure you must eat, then try the chicken katsu plate. Remember, if it does not kill you, it will make you stronger.

Compared from other places that sells chicken teriyaki, the sauce taste different. Other than that, I really like it

Surprised by the reviews for this place. The environment is so-so. But I don't like brothy foods, and this was my first time having a hot pot. I was extremely surprised at how much I liked it. Enjoyed the experience of mixing in varieties between the sections, but that's the nature of this type of place I suppose. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because of the environment. It's not conducive to a nice place to dine, it's cafeteria like. But the food was delicious. Not sure if people upset with this place are upset because of what used to be here, not because of what is currently here. The food was delicious and far exceeded my low expectations. E: I wanted to give it 5 stars to balance out the dumbos that voted so low on this place. But alas we'll let nature take its course.

I dropped into Teriyaki Boy on a whim when I was on campus, craving some sort of Asian cuisine. When you go in, it's a little overwhelming. They have a menu written on a board, but it's in Chinese (I believe). There were also several different menus on a counter, each one seemed to be slightly different, with multiple pages filled to the edge with dishes. It was very hard to choose something I might like - nothing seemed to be organized in any specific categories. Most of it seemed to be a cuisine besides Japanese, as the storefront claims. Despite having so many menu items, their claim of being "fast food" was definitely accurate; my food came out in probably 5 minutes. I ended up ordering the cumin beef, which was pretty much exactly how it sounded - beef, flavoured with cumin. It was not exceptional, but not terrible either. Overall, if you're looking for something Asian, and something quick, Teriyaki Boy might be the place you stop in at. Although now, I would probably be more likely to go into Qdoba right next door instead.

Definitely not the best Asian place I've been, but I have to give them credit for good food and lots of cool Asian drinks in the fridge (which is inexplicably situated so far away from the register that you might never notice it). As a side note, can someone explain to me why there are half a dozen Asian restaurants in the campus area, but no Italian and no decent sandwich shops?
(4)Wade L.
Food is great I think. BUT THEY DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE!!!! Which aggravates the shit out of me.

Get the chicken with chilis - la zi ji ding.

I'm on a quest for the right Chicken Katsu, and Teriyaki Boy wasn't half bad. It's not the specific katsu I'm looking for, but I enjoyed my meal. The selection is pretty basic and I counted maybe 10 selections on the menu up front (not counting the various sushi rolls). When I ordered, I received it pretty quickly and the price wasn't bad (at around $7 I think). The chicken wasn't overcooked and the right was just clumpy enough for a gaijin like myself to eat with chopsticks but not bad clumpy. The tonkatsu sauce was flavorful and they've got a great hot chilis-ground-up-in-chili-oil sauce that I find at a few places that makes everything taste good. Also, there's sometimes severe pain from the heat, but that's part of the spicy food endorphin train, right? The main factor that would limit my coming here more often is the parking situation out front. There's limited space if you're driving because it's the university district and they've placed metered parking that's quite expensive and prone to ill-timed resets. While coming here for lunch, I needed to wait almost 5 minutes for the machine to reset before I could pay for the parking. In summary, I enjoyed my meal. It's not the curry chicken katsu dish from LA's Hurry Curry that I was looking for, but it was an enjoyable eat.

Props to them for being open later than most other places in the area on a Sunday night, but I probably wont be coming back. After ordering california rolls (very stereotypical of me, I know) we waited for almost 45 minutes before checking back in to make sure they didn't skip us on accident. We then waited another 20 minutes for our food, which was brought out by one of the cooks, who simply set it down and left. We received no explanation, though the woman at the cash register was very apologetic. The same thing happened to the table next to us, while another table received at least six rounds of food before us. I'm not sure why this took so long or why nothing significant was done to make it better.

AWFUL! They totally ripped me off. The cashier does not speak English, she conned me into buying a combo dish instead of the ala carte then wouldn't refund me my money back even though I didn't touch any of the food! I am never going back ever again! The people working there are ignorant, rude, and mean.

This place is hilarious because despite the fact that it is advertised as a Japanese Restaurant in English, the majority of the menu and the management/staff is Chinese. I guess Japanese food sells better with Americans? The good news is, it's actually a pretty decent Chinese place if you know what to order. The printed menu is in English with big pictures, and contains typical teriyaki and katsu faire. The katsu is decent and comfortably cheap. However, in the tradition of many of the Chinese restaurants in town (and I'm serious, this is unquestionably a Chinese restaurant) there is a specials menu written on the wall above the counter/on the metal hood above the stove. It has many more menu items than the printed menu, some translated, some not. These specials are really good, I've come back more than once for the Mala fen with beef (number 28 I believe, it has no translation, but I can read Chinese!) Its the spiciest Chinese food I've had so far in the eug, and has real Sichuan flavor. This place is also very popular among my Chinese exchange student friends because it is the only place other than Spring Garden (in Springfield) that has hot pot. For those that don't know, hot pot is a traditional Chinese style of eating where a pot of broth and a burner are put at the center of the table and meat, veggies, tofu etc. are cooked to eat. They even have the right equipment, with divided pots so that one side has a spicy broth and the other side has mild one. This place only gets three stars because in my opinion they go a little overboard with the MSG and such, (though one could argue this defines authenticity) and once it gave me a pretty nasty stomach ache.

I sorely miss the Japanese restaurant that used to be here. As other reviewers say, despite the name, this is no longer a Japanese restaurant. The staff are friendly, the menu looks interesting. Hot pots and noodles my friends ordered looked delectable. My Hainanese chicken was anything but! Haven't had anything so atrocious in a long time. The gravy was swimming in salt and instead of chicken I only got bones. Why risk your wallet when there's East Meets West next door?

I think I was there on opening day. The sushi is good, several vegetarian offerings and other japanese dishes. The staff was friendly and the sushi was authentic. Will definitely return. Prices are good too, especially for the location.
