T'San Japanese Restaurant

I've popped in here numerous times over the past year and I love their food. I usually choose from four items on their menu - teriyaki chicken bowl, dynamite chicken bowl, Kobe beef bowl and the yakisoba bowl. You really can't go wrong with any of them, even though the dynamite chicken has some kick to it (just as a forewarning if you're not into spicy food). More often than not when I come in it's usually just the one dude there by himself, but on occasion there is a woman there. They are pretty fast once you get your order in, but sometimes you may have to wait if the dude is by himself and he has a few orders already going. In that case, just sit tight. The quality of their food combines with their low prices means the wait is definitely worth it. One thing - if you're into appearances then you will be dissatisfied. T'San is a hole in the wall. Some may look at it and think, "It looks dirty as hell." But if it really was then the food would probably make you sick, which hasn't happened to me once. So forget appearances, don't sweat the fact that you most likely can't call ahead (I've sat in there and heard the phone ring endlessly while they just cook and ignore it, haha), and pick up something from T'San. It's good food and the prices are great. JV

T'San is the manifestation of the old saying "Never judge a book by it's cover." When I pulled up to the building my first thoughts were "Is this place even still in buisness?" and "Is THIS the place that everyone was telling me is so good?" T'san could use some major rennovstions; furthermore, the outside almost made me turn around. Fortunately, I saw pictures of food that looked bomb on yelp, and remembered all the good things I've heard from others so I said why not. The dynamite chicken and shrimp over fried rice was delicious and served in a genorus portion for only $8, not a bad deal at all. I can see what all the hype is about. I also appreciated that the lady who took my order scaled down the hotness of the dynamite sauce as per my request. I do have one suggestions for T'san though; to improve their "Drive Thru" system, because their full menu isn't diplayed outside so when I was ordering at the window she told me I had to come inside to see it. Having printed menus or displaying the full menu outside could eliviatate this issue, as minor as it may be.

It's a hole in the wall but not a bad taste for Japanese-esq food. I would have given them 4 stars but the service is not great since they only have I guy taking orders, cooking and packing the Togo orders. Not a great business model. Good concept but bad execution.

Lovely tasty dynamite chicken. Just the right spiciness. Don't let the worn down look fool you. The gyoza dumpling were great as well. Fresh Crispy and savory good. The lady at the window seemed scared to open the window all the way, I don't blame her.

Seems suspect when you look at this place but trust me you will get great tasting food. Been going here for YEARS! The owner is nice and remembers you after a few stops in. The dynamite chicken bowl is my go to dish when coming here. It has veggies (cabbage and broccoli mainly) with chicken & that spicy sweet teriyaki sauce but not too sweet.This place can remind you of a Chinese take out but I guess more of a Japanese flare and Everything is cooked on a large Hibachi grill too....

Nice little spot to grab to go on the fly. I get the dynamite chicken and fried rice. Love it!

I can't believe I haven't tried this place sooner! I bookmarked this place ever since I moved here about a year and a half ago and haven't gotten myself to actually make the drive. But thank god I remembered to stop by here coming home from base! Yes, this place is a hole in a wall but the chef/cashier/owner is super nice and the food is absolutely delicious!I'll definitely pick this place over regular Chinese takeout. Yes, the place needs to be fixed up a bit but hey, don't judge a book by it's cover.My husband got the dynamite chicken with fried rice and I got the 20pc teriyaki shrimp with fried rice and it was all for $19. To me, I thought it was worth the price. My husband REALLY enjoyed it, it was for both of us to share but he didn't x) oh well. I was really into the shrimp that day. Will definitely come back again!!

I stopped here twice, but only got food once. The first time, I was told I couldn't pay with a card (which I somewhat expected, because there was a sign that said only cash was accepted, but there was also a sign that said they accepted visa, so I figured I might as well ask). I came back some time later with cash. I wasn't impressed with the food. It wasn't bad, but didn't seem worth going out of the way for. Since then I've heard a lot about the dynamite chicken and heard enough good things about this place that I feel like I should go back and give them another shot. Maybe I just got unlucky with what I ordered.Aesthetically, the place is terrible. If you're looking for a nice place to sit inside and eat, you're going to want to go basically anywhere else.

So yes, its a hole in the wall and if it weren't for the food pics and awesome reviews I definitely would have never stopped here but I did and it was great!! I was greeted by the kindest old man who was running a one man show back there and told me my Dynamite Chicken would be ready in 5 minutes (only customer there then). 5 minutes later he was bagging my lunch up and making friendly conversation and I was outta there. The food came to $7 which I think is fair for how much food I got and the quality of the food. My veggies were fresh and not over cook, my chicken had some kick to it as I requested spicy and delicious as well. I'll be back.

I am so glad they are back!!This was a once a week lunch spot for me for years when they were across town. Then Their building was condemned when it was hit by a truck. They disappeared just before Covid time and now I'm so glad I found their new location here. I have always ordered the chicken dynamite. (literally for years) It is always consistent and incredibly delicious. The portion sizes are like old-school Chinese restaurants. This husband and wife duo have got a great thing going. I've been here several times since I found this new location of theirs and will continue to come back. Who knows maybe I'll try something other than chicken dynamite.
