Charki's Teriyaki

I do love a great teriyaki! The place I normally go to was closed. I found this one on Yelp. Who knew they were there. The guy said they were open for like 12 years. Anyway, I got the chicken and beef plate. I think the price was very reasonable so I added avocado. They give a lot for just a couple of dollars more. Both meats were tender and had the right amount of char. The serving size was great. This is my new teriyaki spot!!

Could have been better. Was waiting for my order and next customer got theirs. Saw previous customers engage with the staff and they called out the order. I had been waiting for a while but got no call out that my order was ready.Odd experience used obviously to make sure a customer doesn't return.

Charles makes some great chicken. Service was prompt, not overly friendly, but perfectly fine for counter service. Asked about white meat chicken and got a blank stare.. funny I guess. I ordered a chicken veggie plate with no rice, my old standby in pretty much every teriyaki restaurant.The chicken was excellent. Cooked perfectly, lightly sauced, and tasted fresh. The veggies were crisp and delicious too. The hot sauce actually had some zing. Downsides: no soy sauce available? Kind of seems like a basic essential in most teriyaki restaurants. This was a big miss for me. This place is kind of an unassuming and dirty shopping center, be aware, but it's a hidden gem for sure.

This place has become my new go-to for all things teriyaki, though I end up ordering the same thing every time. Nestled in the corner of a plaza on Rosecrans and Van Ness, this unassuming Teriyaki joint is right next to a Subway.Pros:+ Lots of free parking+ Clean interior, easy to read menu+ Fast, prompt service+ Sizable portions for the money. + Chicken is really good. Tender and charbroiled, this is a favorite of mine+ Credit cards are accepted, and so is Apple Pay. They don't bug you to leave a tip when you pay this way.Neutral+ Beef is pretty good, but not as good as the chickenMy go-to is the large bowl serving of the chicken/beef teriyaki. While I enjoy the chicken more than the beef, the beef is tender and tasty as well, and is a good change from the usual. One of these is easily sharable.Charki's is easily a favorite of mine, and I am happy to make the 15 minute drive out of my way to get some.

I've been coming here for years fam! The salmon plate with avocado is definitely my favorite no doubt about it!

Hidden gem. The food is delicious. I've tried almost everything and haven't been disappointed yet. Love the portion size because I always have leftovers. lol The service is fast and friendly, and there's always parking. The lot looks a little sketchy but don't trip.

Was craving teriyaki like old school that I haven't had for quite a while and this place peaked my interest! It is a 30 minute drive from me but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I'd just buy more to have leftovers! Sooo good!

Best teriyaki place to go! Have been going there for years flavor always great. If you are near definitely recommend to stop by.

Love the food here! Both beef and chicken teriyaki are flavorful but i orefer chicken cuz the beef is in the dryer side but still very good

So good. Heavy portions. Good hot sauce make sure you ask for it on the side. Veggies very quality and steamed well
