Fast-casual teriyaki bowls with quick service and clean, modern space; great for efficient lunches, but portions and sweetness vary and there are a few serious quality-control red flags to note.
Glaze Teriyaki delivers efficient, convenient fast-casual dining with clean modern design and exceptional speed, making it a solid weekday lunch option near Union Square. However, serious safety concerns—including foreign objects and illness reports—combined with inconsistent food quality (tender steak offset by dry chicken) and occasional order errors prevent a higher grade. Best for quick, reliable meals when nearby; less suitable for those prioritizing food safety assurance or special occasions.
One caveat: Portions can be inconsistent with light protein and heavy rice
