    We love Yaki! It’s one of the only, if not the only, dedicated gluten free spots in the area. The food is amazing and unique. Yaki is truly one of a kind! I highly recommend.

    This place was a surprise. It's decor from the road is ok but doesn't draw you in. We decided to try it out anyway and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. Will absolutely go back again and try out some of the different bowls, but chicken and pulled pork and waffle fries were outstanding.

    Fantastic local food! Since I was diagnosed with MS, I have struggled to stay compliant with a very strict diet that heals my body. All of the food at yaki is naturally GF/DF, and delicious! The staff there is attentive without being creepy, and you always know what you're going to get.

    I LOVED the food here at YAKI Texas Teriyaki! I found this little hole in the wall place on my Find My Gluten Free app. All food is gluten free, dairy free, and nut free. The menu is simple and you order a protein, rice, and slaw and it comes in a take out box. This place was an old Sonic Drive In, so there isn’t indoor dining, only picnic tables in a little area in front of the restaurant. There were 3 different meals ordered when we went, and all were fresh and delicious tasting! The waffle fries were amazing as well. I just wish this little place was in my town, I’d eat here all the time!
