Disclaimer: I know practically nothing about sushi; I just know that I eat at this place three or so times a week and it hasn't killed me yet.

Teriyaki Boy is a chain of fast food sushi restaurants with locations in New York City, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. They serve up the standard array of rolls and whatnot - maki, tekka, yellowtail, eel, california rolls and various other kinds, as well as bento boxes, tempura and, of course, teriyaki.

The tempura isn't bad and I find their teriyaki sauce to be a bit on the bland side. The sushi tastes pretty good provided you don't eat exceptionally good or fresh sushi on a regular basis; if you do, I'm reasonably certain this stuff will upset you.

The main selling points, for me at least, are the price (rolls will run you about $3.00 US and they have cheap combo plates) and their delivery, which is, coming from someone who lives in Manhattan and, like it or not, wants everything NOW NOW NOW, impossibly fast - it usually takes about 12 minutes from order to delivery.

All things considered it's not a bad place to get cheap, quick food that doesn't suck.
