Teriyaki Grill

Located in the heart of Chula Vista, Teriyaki Grill is a culinary gem that artfully blends Asian, Japanese, Vietnamese, and vegetarian flavors into an unforgettable dining experience. This family-owned restaurant has earned a devoted following for its fresh, vibrant dishes and warm, welcoming atmosphere that invites you to unwind and savor every bite.

Teriyaki Grill’s menu is a delightful mosaic of tastes and textures, each dish showcasing a thoughtful fusion of ingredients and expertly crafted flavors. The standout Steve’s Steak Sandwich is a must-try—grilled to a perfect medium rare, the thinly sliced steak bursts with juicy richness, all elevated by a bold, spicy Peruvian chimichurri sauce and nestled within a soft torta. Equally mouthwatering is the Teriyaki Burger, a juicy Angus patty topped with caramelized pineapple, sautéed mushrooms, onions, and real cheddar cheese, creating a juicy harmony of sweet and savory that lingers pleasantly on the palate.

For those preferring lighter or vegetarian options, the Teriyaki Tofu Bento offers a perfectly balanced medley of flavor and freshness, while the Teriyaki Salmon Bento delivers tender, flaky salmon glazed with a luscious teriyaki sauce. Don’t miss tempting appetizers like the Japanese Tuna Ceviche—a hidden gem bursting with refreshing crunch from cucumbers and a zesty, spicy citrus kick that awakens your senses. The Hung #1 Hot Wings bring a beautiful balance of garlicky sweetness and fiery heat—so good they famously “stole” the recipe from the chef’s own father. Plus, the Crab Cakes, fried in coconut oil to achieve irresistibly crispy edges, are rich and satisfying, made-from-scratch patties served with a tantalizing spicy mayo.

The menu also surprises with creative offerings like the Mekishiko Taco and the Taco Flight, perfect for those wanting a light yet flavorful snack or meal. Craft beer and Thai Tea round out your dining experience, providing refreshing beverages that complement the robust flavors of the food.

The dining atmosphere at Teriyaki Grill mirrors the care evident in their food—clean, friendly, and lively, it’s the kind of place where locals return time and again. As one longtime patron, Nathan Tyler Pierce, shares, “From the service to the food, you can feel the love that goes into this family-owned establishment.” Authenticity and passion shine through every dish and interaction.

While parking can be a challenge during peak hours due to the busy street location, the restaurant’s popularity is a testament to the quality and satisfaction Teriyaki Grill consistently delivers. Customers like Irene Oshiro have praised the fresh, tasty meals accompanied by crispy gyoza, noting that every protein—from salmon and beef to chicken—is cooked to perfection. Another admirer, mojigata, raves about the new crab cake sandwich, highlighting the perfect balance of spicy mayo and pickled onions that make each bite a delight.
