Teriyaki Experience - Barrie

Since the new owners took over this location, the hot and spicy chicken I usually order, has absolutely no taste and is not hot and spicy. I have given them a chance 3 times with the same result. Other locations in Brampton and Scarborough Milner Dr) have been great. When Ali, the previous owner was running the restaurant the food was excellent and very tasty and would ask very specifically how much spice you wanted. It’s a shame because of government lock downs he lost this store. I think the owners should give him a second chance at no fault of his own to restore this location DO THE RIGHT THING) but, doing the right thing does not apply these days it seems. Ali was a true and passionate cook and deserves a 2nd chance, I can say this because I got to know him and his family for just a little while, he really cared how the food was prepared and made sure everything was fresh and tasty. it was a thriving restaurant and very busy at lunch time, It was a regular lunch time spot for myself and my crew, but shamefully, not any more with food that has no taste, especially for what you pay. I will never go back to this park place location again until there is new management or better yet with Ali and his family back.

Drove in from 30 minutes out of town to grab a quick bite. Staff was miserable that we arrived 30 minutes before close. We ordered and paid and sat down to wait. They then informed us we could NOT sit down to eat because they were closing in a half an hour and needed to clean the tables. Umm excuse me? That’s what you do after the store closes!!! We will go elsewhere from now on! Service: Dine in

Ordered the signature teriyaki chicken dish and it was by far the worst food I’ve ever had. Tasted sour, had 4 pieces of chicken and the rice was soggy. Waste of money. Couldn’t even eat half it was so bad Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

First time to this “experience” and it was. Ordered chicken teriyaki. Chicken was tender, veggies crisp but the rice was terrible. Soggy and over cooked. No one finished their meals. I’m hoping this was a one off. Will try them again in a while. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: CA$20–30 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
