I have already written about how great everything Teriyaki Madness, in Downtown LA, is, but I have not addressed the appetizers.
While you are there getting your great chicken or steak bowl, you just have to try their appetizers. They are the best and a little known secret of wonder. If you are buying for your office, you need to get a lot of them, because they are going to go fast. If you are taking home you need a lot because you will want more later. If you are eating there, do what you want, they are right there if you want more.
My favorite is the Crab Rangoon. For about 5 bucks you get 4 of them and they are heavenly. They have crab in them and some sauce that is just delicious. They are wrapped in yummy soft and crispy at the same time batter that is fried. You need a lot of these. Next is the Chicken Potstickers, which are just as great as you will find at any fine dinning Japanese eatery. You need more crab than the potstickers, but make sure you have enough for everyone. Their chicken eggrolls are great as well. I don't care for Edamame so I can't offer an opinion.
Now, with the above you need a bowl and lately I have been coming quite attached to the salmon bowl. It is teriyaki style and over whatever you want, rice or vegetables.
The service here is always super kind and parking is easy--and for Downtown LA, that is a miracle. Go there.
