At first blush, there is much to enjoy about Greenwood's Teriyaki Wok. The interior is small yet inviting, the prices very reasonable, and the service friendly and genuine. Unfortunately, the #1 chicken teriyaki is decidely sub-par. Let's review...

The mainly dark meat chicken is greasy, a bit chewy, and only lightly grilled. The sauce is gloppy, has too much ginger, and does little to ehance the meal. The salad is typical iceberg lettuce and features a run-of-the-mill honey mustard. And the rice, the best part of the meal, is fluffy and tasty.

As for the portions, the rice takes up the majority of the container, a definite faux pas. Sure, there is an additional carton for the salad, but when it's all iceberg lettuce, who cares?

The price, $5.50 plus tax is on the low end, a definite plus. Unfortunately, Teriyaki Wok tacks on an additional $.25 for take away. What!? Their sign claims the addtional $.25 is because of the city's mandate that all restaurants use recyclable containers. That is probably true, but when there is no additional teriyaki sauce on the tables and not a drop of Siracha sauce anywhere to be found, it definitely appears Teriyaki Wok is skimping.

Last but not least, there is a noticeably uncomfortable smell that persists in the car for some time after transporting Teriyaki Wok's chicken teriyaki. It's not enough to call in the fumigation team, but it certainly is alarming to the olfactories.

Do the above descriptions make the Teriyaki Wok experience seem like a good one? Well, they shouldn't because it wasn't. It wasn't awful, but Teriyaki Wok's #1 isn't something I'd be interested in having again.

Bottom line: I should have ordered the Mongolian Beef. Oh well.
