Update Savoring New Flavors in San Antonio: Mr. Teriyaki's Expansion In a thrilling development for food enthusiasts in San Antonio, the beloved casual dining chain Mr. Teriyaki is broadening its presence with not one, but two exciting new locations. The chain, known for its mouth-watering teriyaki bowls and variety of Asian-inspired offerings, will soon call the Colonnade III shopping center home, in addition to completing its third location on Potranco Road. With a unique minimalist ambiance complemented by a diverse menu, Mr. Teriyaki is quickly carving out a place in the local food scene. Rolling Out the Red Carpet for Teriyaki Mr. Teriyaki commenced its San Antonio journey just this year, opening its flagship location near North Star Mall in January 2023, followed closely by another location on Highway 151 in summer 2024. This growth reflects not only the chain's popularity but also the rising demand for quick yet delicious dining options in the area. Co-owner Yilong Chen stated, "It’s a great area! After working so hard to open the third location, we expect the process for this location to go much smoother." The fourth location set for an April 2026 debut promises the same family-friendly atmosphere that patrons have come to love. Understanding the Local Connection to Culture and Cuisine As San Antonio deepens its culinary landscape, Mr. Teriyaki stands out by offering a unique fusion of flavors that resonates with the local community. The chain presents not only traditional teriyaki but also creative sushi rolls and tantalizing appetizers like crab rangoon, making it a versatile dining option for everyone. With a growing interest in culinary diversity, the fast-casual concept stands to attract a broad demographic, from college students to families, further enhancing the city's vibrant dining culture. A Menu That Tantalizes All Taste Buds One of the main attractions of Mr. Teriyaki's menu is undoubtedly its teriyaki bowls, which feature a choice of chicken, beef, or tofu served on a bed of rice accompanied by a fresh salad. Customers also have the opportunity to indulge in an array of flavorful boba teas - a refreshing option in the Texas heat. Centering on high-quality ingredients and savory flavors, the menu caters to all tastes, ensuring that there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Anticipating the Future: More Locations on the Horizon The excitement doesn’t stop at expanding to new locations. With plans for additional eateries beyond the fourth location by the end of 2026, Mr. Teriyaki is establishing itself as a staple in San Antonio’s culinary fabric. Each of its restaurants not only features delicious dishes but also an inviting atmosphere with warm woods and industrial decor, making them perfect for family dinners, casual outings, or quick lunches.
