Riverside Drive in the Marketplace at El Paseo is owned by Shogy Ahmed, who owns another Teriyaki Madness location in Visalia. The Fresno restaurant will be its 26th California location and nearly 200th across the country where they operate in 40 states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFresno deserved something different, something that doesn\u2019t cut corners,\u201d Ahmed said. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to welcome guests into our shop. Everything we serve here is built on real ingredients, all cooked to order with undeniably high-quality sauces. You can taste the difference, and honestly, once people see the portion sizes, they\u2019ll realize it\u2019s game over for boring meals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant will be offering several promotions to celebrate the opening. The first five customers receive free Teriyaki Madness meals for a year, while the next 20 receive free meals for a month. From Dec. 19 through Dec. 21, the restaurant will offer $6 chicken teriyaki bowls.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Teriyaki Madness is best known for their customizable teriyaki bowls, which includes proteins such as chicken, steak, salmon and tofu. It is served with rice or Yakisoba noodles and fresh vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>The Fresno location will offer dine-in service, curbside pickup and catering, as well as participation in the company\u2019s MAD Rewards loyalty program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFresno\u2019s about to experience teriyaki the way it was meant to be,\u201d said Jodi Boyce, chief marketing officer of Teriyaki Madness. \u201cWe\u2019re not just serving bowls \u2014 we\u2019re serving mood-lifting, sauce-drenched scrumptiousness that people can build exactly the way they want. Our shops are built for families, neighbors and anyone who believes meals should be memorable, a little messy and absolutely worth craving again the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Additional information is available at <a href=\"http:\/\/teriyakimadness.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">teriyakimadness.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Teriyaki Madness is bringing Seattle-style teriyaki to Fresno for the first time on Friday, Dec. 19.
