My favorite Asian place in Newark. I love the rice noodles such a comfort food and I really like the way they do the beef.

My order was ready as soon as I got there (and I got there a little early), the owners were super nice and the food was delicious, and very affordable!

Every time I go to Newark to visit my bestie who is doing his Ph.D. at UDelaware, we get Little Teriyaki. Because it's awesome. Their tofu hotpot is everything. Their miso soup is also everything. As is their spicy tuna roll. Also their braised beef noodle soup. Basically it's all perfection. And the staff are so nice!

Ok, I've been meaning to create a Yelp account to review some of our local favorites and especially to review all of the wonderful places we tried on our honeymoon, but reading through these negative reviews of Little Teriyaki is what has finally prompted me to create my account and start reviewing. This place is special to us. It is an authentic Chinese restaurant that also offers American-Chinese favorites and even cheap sushi. Our kids love the American-Chinese items, which are fresher than most American-Chinese takeout/delivery restaurants with bigger portions and low prices. These come with more than enough to share. The sushi is not good, but it is cheap, so if you're after a basic roll like Cali or Philly, then you can get it cheap here. Considering this is a Chinese restaurant, it's nice that they offer sushi at all. They've got the basic American tastes covered: American-Chinese favorites and simple sushi. But if your tastes are beyond the basic American, you are in for one hell of a treat. Little Teriyaki's Chinese menu is HUGE, filled with authentic dishes that are bursting with unique flavors. When your mouth is tingling, almost numb, and you taste the nuanced spices and seasonings that dominate each dish, you've hit the jackpot. From the spicy lamb & vegetable soup (basically a hot pot in soup form, also available in beef) to the spicy lamb & cumin, from the pickled fish & vegetable soup (really strong flavors, excellent if you're not looking for something spicy) to the spicy chicken hot pot (served dry with a hot pot base sauce, also available in beef), there are so many delicious dishes to try on this menu. The employees know very little English, so refer to the numbers associated with the menu items. I think 35 is lamb & cumin, 36 is spicy lamb & vegetable soup. Those two alone will have you covered for the best, most flavorful meal you've had in a while. We love this place. If you want to try some authentic Chinese food, so will you.

I love this place. It is primarily an authentic Chinese Restuarant though, that also serves a bit of Americanized Japanese food, don't be fooled by the name. This place is run by Chinese people for Chinese people. The Japanese part of the menu is good, but nothing to write home about. The Chinese food, on the other hand (minus the little Americanized section), wow. Portions are big, quality is very good. If you order spicy stuff, it is very spicy! The sichuan items here taste pretty good, they include those numbing sichuan peppercorns, so you're in for a ride. Even the items from the more Americanized part of the menu taste a lot better here than most places. For example, I love the Singapore mei fun / rice noodles, a big heaping plate of rice noodles stir-fried with shrimp, squid, chicken, and pork; it had a lot more Chinese vegetables than most places, like baby bok choy, bean sprouts, and many others. One of my favorite items here if you're wanting something for just one person to eat, is the spicy beef noodle soup. The broth is incredibly flavorful, very spicy but with a subtle blend of aromatic spices, and then the deep flavors of dried red chili peppers, and the soup has big pieces of some sort of Chinese green cabbagey vegetable, and is garnished with cilantro. Be prepared though for some parts of the cow that are not widely consumed in Western cultures! The other items from the Chinese part of the menu, I generally want to share in a group of people. Everything I've ordered here has been good. There are a lot of items here that aren't on the menu in English. There's a board on the wall with Chinese, if you can read it, and they can make a lot of things that aren't listed there. Yeah! I highly recommend this place. It looks like a cheap takeout place from the outside, and it sort of is, in a sense, but it's also one of the best authentic Chinese restaurants in town!
