Best WLM Reviews
There was a little bit of a wait, but the food was worth it! My daughter's and I ordered shrimp tempura and egg rolls. The tempura was cooked perfectly, it was fresh and crispy. The egg rolls were crunchy and the ingredients inside were fill of flavor. The veggies were slightly cooked with a little crunch stoll to them. The food was so good we went again and ordered the same thing a couple days later!
Their food is really good and the workers there are very nice. They even gave us 3 free egg rolls! And it was really good but the only downside is that we wanted to dine in but the restaurant smells really bad like a bathroom. Personally I think it’s due to not cleaning the bathroom really well. And not putting any air fresheners but I don’t blame anyone because they probably are trying to get rid of the smell because I saw one of those air wick air fresheners in the plugs. So I have high hopes that the bad smell is gonna be gone soon!
The inside of the place has a really bad smell. Not sure what it is but it's enough to make a person order to go. There was no one dining in at all when I was there at about 5pm on a Friday.
The food wasn't great but it also wasn't the worst I've had. Since we've never been before we ordered a few different things for all of us to share.
Double Pork Teriyaki - Every other place I've had this at serves it shaved thin and grilled with sauce. Here it was sliced roast pork tenderloin that was about 1/4" thick and it was really dry. They serve all sauces on the side and they don't give you enough. Just 1 little cup per plate. I'm guessing they give the same amount of sauce whether you get the single or double portion. Because of this, the entire dish ate dry. The rice that was underneath the meat and veg was also dry. You can tell that they portion out the rice for the plates well ahead of time and just pop the meat and veg on top, close it up and serve it. The top of the rice was drier than the rest. The sauce was just okay. I's very thin and the dry pork just sucked it all in.
We also ordered the Double Beef Teriyaki and the Double Chicken Teriyaki plates. We had the same issues with them as we did with the pork.
Shrimp Tempura - This was something bought frozen and just tossed into a fryer. I can buy a better version of this (frozen) at Costco.
Egg rolls - These were the best things in the whole order but these were also frozen and just tossed into a fryer.

This place has drive thru and sit down options. The food is hot, good and plenty of it.
Try the Sweet and Sour options.. oh, oh and the Spring Rolls with the nutty sauce - just add some hot sauce that and BAM. So good.
I really hope next time I come by it's better it smells like they got some backed up pipes in here and the chicken is way over fried ???? price it moderate but I have better for less ..
4/24/2024 - So I finally got to try this little restaurant for the 1st time: Teriyaki Chicken Express. Address 9110 Kiefer Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95826.
The food pictures look so good. We just went through the drive thru. Now... this is just my opinion and my experience. It may be different for others.
Cons
We got the plate that had double chicken, veggies, and rice. Our chicken was on the very dry side. The rice was kinda hard soft, or so my little one told me. My little one didn't like the rice so didn't eat it. Normally loves eating rice tho. The two sauces we got were watered down and not much flavor, sadly. One was teriyaki and the other was the sweet sauce for the eggroll. We did not like the sauces. So luckily I had my own sauce at home and use that instead.
Pros
I loved veggies, so the veggies were great! I just had to add a little salt and pepper... and WhaLaa!! Yummy veggies. There is no flavor in the veggies. FYI. My little one liked the sweet and sour pork. Ate that all up. But my little one said the other sweet/sour pork from another restaurant we've been to had much more flavor and much tastier.
Conclusion
We didn't go inside. So I can't comment on the inside. The drive thru was quick and easy. Large menu outside. The guy that took our orders at the window was nice. Sad chicken was dry, eggroll wasn't very good (had perfect crisp tho), rice on the harder side but still edible, and sauces were watered down so there wasn't much flavor. Good that my little one ate the pork. Veggies were great after I add a little salt and pepper to my liking (I prefer to do that on my own so not to salty).
This is just my experience. This is not to put them down. But we weren't too thrill about their foods. Not very tasty. Maybe your experience may be different from mine. But should I ever decide to go here again to give it a 2nd chance, I'll update my review. You should go try them yourself and see how you like them and have your own experience.
The food was not the best. Dry and not so tasty. Inside looked very dirty, smelt dirty, and wasn't clean at all. Per reviews, I gave this place a try but wasn't any good. They, however, do give good portions.
This place has amazing teriyaki chicken. Of course you can buy teriyaki chicken from many places but if you want some of the best then this is it. The portion is also on the large side because they'll stuff your plates. Also have a freaking drive thru, ????.
