10. Minami Teriyaki

When i come here it is for the teriyaki. Beef, chicken, sweet and sour, all those are as good as you can get anywhere. Decent size portions along with a couple scoops of rice and iceberg lettuce salad. Its classic teriyaki.That said i only order to go. The dining area is not an enjoyable place. Sorry, its dated and a bit run down. Neutral to the service. They take my order and get me the food. Nothing bad, nothing to get excited about either.

We love Chinese food, but the items we ordered here were awful.The servings were HUGE but nearly tasteless. We ordered sesame chicken, Szechuan beef and General Tso's chicken. All of them were slathered in batter and deep fried to a greasy crispness. It was difficult to find the meat inside the batter.I'm an adventurous eater and typically ask the waitstaff for recommendations when I visit a new restaurant. That's almost always successful. Well, I requested a dinner with a very spicy sauce and lots of vegetables. Our waiter said I should try the Szechuan beef. 1. FRIED (who does that?!) 2. Some pieces were so tough that I couldn't chew them and had to spit them in to my napkin. 3. It was most assuredly not spicy (or even flavorful). 4. The only vegetables were a very few strands of green onion. We didn't even like the wonton or hot and sour soups, but they were at least edible. And not fried. LOLMaybe we had a failure to communicate with the waiter, but I can't imagine returning. My guys wanted to go to Taco Ball and afterwards I wish we had. (We did go to Shari's Restaurant for triple berry pie afterwards so our stomachs were happy by the end of the evening.)

When you think of restaurants you think that there would be choices for food allergies. Though a nice, friendly place my choices were extremely limited so had to pick something that was very random and definitely not first or even second choice. However finally it did come and it represented a bountiful presentation. Thanks to our party and the table server for being patient with me as I had to sort through what I could and couldn't eat.

The interior lacks a bit in the atmosphere department, but you forget that once you recieve your food. They offer at least 5 bento box combos for lunch that all sound great, so after weighing my options I chose the chicken teriyaki with tempura veggies and shrimp, rice, and salad. Miso soup comes with the bento boxes as well. The portion of chicken was generous as was the tempura veggies and shrimp. Everything was nice and hot. I also ordered the creamy scallop sushi. It was very rich, with fresh scallops, mayo, and tobiko. They have WIFI, comfy booths, hot green tea, and lots of parking.I will be going back for more.

Great food. Incredible service. I suggest eating at the grill. The show is a lot of fun. The flaming tower of onions was impressive. The decore was fun. We've needed a place like this. Everyone I know has eaten here and absolutely loved it. Great job!!

We went here because of the good reviews on tripadvisor; what a disappointment.We chose veggie options and though the tofu was well cooked, the sauces were not. The teriyaki sauce was thin and over-sweetened with honey; the hoisin sauce tasted watery and contained so much ginger that it overpowered everything else on the plate.It saddened me that portions are so huge here that it is expected that youâll need a box to take food home.The server delivered the bill, fortune cookies and take away boxes to our table before we were even half way through our meal!Weâve eaten far superior food at the numerous Chinese restaurants we have visited during many US road trips.

Reviewed By challenger27J
Thought I would update my 2013 review. Pho Ever just keeps on getting better. The problem is excellent and the spring rolls are da bomb.Just discovered you can order the large bowl of spicy pho with the regular, not spicy broth. Perfect when you want lots of photos, but not into the heat.This is my go to place for pho in longview!

I was in town for business and wanted quick, fresh tasty and inexpensive (not cheap).Pros- Nice fresh ingredients prepared well. I don't ask for much in Chinese restaurants anymore. It seems like they all are the same Americanized dishes and if you can find "good" you are lucky. I was pleasantly surprised here. I expected "OK" and got "Very Good" food. I had the lunch special with shrimp and there were actual normal sized shrimp, fresh zucchini, etc in the stir fry. To top it off I had some nice tea and the bill was under 8 bucks all said. Big win for this guy! The portion was so generous I planned on taking some back for dinner...nope...too good. I just had to pig out and enjoy the gluttony of which I do not indulge in often.Cons-Firstly...the place is a bit of a "dive". Not in a bad way, just needs a serious upgrade to get beyond dive status. They can't seem to decide how much the lunch special is. I thought I saw one place say $5.99 another 6 something and the menu said something different. Again, not a big deal as I still felt the price point was more than fair.Bottom Line-While I cannot speak to the consistency, I was very happy to have chosen this place to stop in for lunch. The food made the plate look good and allowed me to look past the dive factor.

I stopped in for lunch after a hearing at the nearby Cowlitz County courthouse. The restaurant seemed to have a good crowd of locals. The service was prompt enough. There is nothing really horrible about the meal I had, but it's not what I was looking for.Chow Yuk was my lunch of choice. I hoped for a meal of stir fried vegetables with a bit of meat. Unfortunately, the vegetables seemed to have been pre-boiled before being added to a wok. What came out was more like a stew than a stir fry. The remainder of the plate was carbohydrates in one form or another. Were the meal better prepared, it would have been a bargain at under $10, tax included.

The convenience of sushi on a conveyer belt made for a nice and quick lunch. The quality was decent and as I came at happy hour (daily between 2:30-4:30 pm), the price was super reasonable at $1.95 a dish. That said, the variety was pretty limited on the conveyer belt but their full menu is also available during this time. I ate 5 dishes from the serve yourself selection and it was a mere $10.40 with tax but before tip.
