I truly adore this place! Their food is so good, they have large portion sizes, and the staff are always friendly. My personal favorites are their beef teriyaki, the special fried chicken, and the chicken bowl. My dad is a fan of their pork teriyaki. Their teriyaki sauce is thicker, more like a glaze which me and my family prefer. I have ordered take out from here quite regularly and will continue to do so.

This place is nice. The bowl I tried was the skinless chicken teriyaki thighs. I do want to try the fish and some other entrees ... but what I tried was delicious. It looked very clean and the young lady was super friendly. I was curious about the cucumbers but for $0.50 for 2 slices of marinated cucumbers was strange. It should be free. However, I'd come here again!

Traditionally, Pete’s Terriyaki is an institution in Frasno. Their Marks/Shaw location has been there for decades. I was so pumped to see they opened a location in Clovis. When they first opened, I think the food quality was better. Tonight, we did takeout and was pretty disappointed. The white meat chicken was so dry, it was like a bad Thanksgiving turkey. Our other dish was the Soecial Fried Chicken, which is the best! Even saying that, tonight it seemed very subpar. They usually apply a fair amount of Terriyaki to the meat, but there was hardly any. The ramakin of Terriyaki sauce that came with it seemed almost jello like. It was not liquid. Could jiggle like jelly. The sticky rice was great and so was the tempura vegetables. Give it a shot.
