Joy Teriyaki - University Place

I was really excited that this moved to University Place as I have been to the old one on 6th Ave and it was great! Unfortunately, the food was terrible. The sauce on my orange tofu was watery and like a soup in the bottom of the plate, I asked to have it remade but when it was it was the same. She admitted that they made it again using the exact same sauce. I ended up just getting a refund. My daughter had tofu yakisoba, which wasn’t stir fried, and had no flavor. The tofu was just fried in the fryer, there was no cornstarch or breading on it. I am hoping they are just having issues hiring cooks but it was very disappointing.

Rice portion was small and dry. It came with a cabbage salad that didn't have a lot of flavor but tasted like it was going bad. The chicken was cut small and was smothered in sauce.

Joy's Teriyaki was nothing really special. The food was decent, but the portions could definitely be bigger for the price. While it wasn't bad, there wasn't anything that stood out to make me want to go back. If you're looking for a quick teriyaki fix, it's okay, but don't expect anything beyond the basics.

Good teriyaki place in University Place. It is a good portion, reasonable price. Would recommend this place to everyone

I ordered the spicy chicken which was made different than the last order I had. I also had the teriyaki beef which is should be named teriyaki fat, it was awful. Won't be eating here anymore.
