You also can order the toppings as standalone sides.<\/p>\n<p>I loved the steak bowl ($13.19 for regular, $11.79 for junior, $15.19 for large). The steak was tender and had the right amount of teriyaki sauce to allow the grilled flavor to shine through. For my customizations, I got all broccoli (+$1.25) instead of a mix of vegetables, and I replaced the white rice with noodles (+$1), which had a good lo mein approximation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9830\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250516_121703-300x268.jpg\" alt=\"Teriyaki Madness\" width=\"300\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250516_121703-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250516_121703-1024x914.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250516_121703-768x686.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250516_121703-1536x1372.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250516_121703.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>I wanted to see how this place does with salmon, and I&#8217;d say the piece I got in my bowl ($13.69 regular-sized only) was fine. It certainly could have been more tender and probably needed more teriyaki sauce, but it wasn&#8217;t the worst piece of fish I&#8217;ve ever eaten. For this bowl, I replaced the white rice with fried rice ($1.25) and thought it was quite tasty.<\/p>\n<p>Other toppings include orange chicken, which I got as a side ($9.19). It was very good, with an ideal breading-to-chicken ratio and well-coated in the sauce, even though most pieces were small.<\/p>\n<p>I also liked the tofu ($7.69 as a side). Each cube was perfectly fried and had a good drizzle of the teriyaki sauce. Spicy versions of the tofu and orange chicken are also available.<\/p>\n<p>Among the appetizers, the chicken eggroll ($2.49) was excellent. It was deliciously crispy and had a ginger flavor to it.<\/p>\n<p>I also recommend the chicken potstickers ($5.39). They had plenty of meat inside a nicely fried shell.<\/p>\n<p>Teriyaki Madness is open every day for lunch and dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed\u00a0Teriyaki Madness, which recently opened a location on the far west side of Madison, its second location in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[117,19],"class_list":["post-9831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-restaurant-reviews","tag-chinese","tag-far-west"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9831"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9831\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9834,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9831\/revisions\/9834"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
