University Teriyaki [20.5]

"I have a tough time reviewing all these teriyaki places to find out which one is my second favorite (behind Tokyo Garden), and University Teriyaki is fighting for that second place."
- Mike McEvoy

University Teriyaki is literally the last place to eat on The Ave. If you can huff it all the way down there, you get what you walk for. It has 3 separate dining facilities which are usually full. Something is drawing people there, and Mike is still finding what that thing is. You walk in and there's usually a line. But they get you through quick. It's a veritable Teriyaki machine in there. You get a good amount of food for a pretty good value and it makes you satisfied. Mike got the chicken/beef which is a little pricier than either of the meats alone. (It's expensive to breed cows and chickens. And nearly physically impossible.) A plus for U Teriyaki is that they have very good salad. It won't affect the score at all because Mike believes that salad isn't food, per se. It's more what food eats.

For this review Mike is using the age old question WWBD? (That of course means What Would Bacon Do, which is Mike's new spin-wheel toy that answers questions like a piece of bacon would answer questions.) Bacon says: it will spit hot grease for U Teriyaki.

Value: 7.5
Taste: 7.5
Intangibles: 5.5

Total Score: 20.5 out of 30

...WWBD would have gotten me out of so many bad decisions I've made. Thank you for that incredible gift!

My boyfriend and I were sitting in the room to the left when you enter by the window. We were waiting for our food and something fell from above and hit his arm. It was a wiggling maggot. We ate because we already paid but it really grossed us out. If there are bugs falling from the walls, I wonder what's in the kitchen... I haven't gone there since.
