Restaurant opening in growing Modesto shopping center ‘rivals’ Panda Express
Wood Colony Plaza on Pelandale Avenue has seen a lot of activity since Vallarta Supermarkets announced it was moving in a year ago.
Nick the Greek, Thai Buri and Planet Fitness also have opened in the shopping center. Teaspoon opened just a couple of months prior to Vallarta’s announcement.
Now, another restaurant wants in. Teriyaki Madness, a “fast-casual” Asian chain, has signage on the building at 3900 Pelandale Ave., Suites 610 and 620, which indicates it will be opening soon.
It’ll be the first of the more than 160-store franchise to open in the Central Valley.
Teriyaki Madness “thrives in busy strip malls close to health clubs or nearby businesses commonly patronized by people seeking healthier options,” according to its website. The suite that the restaurant is moving into sits directly next to Planet Fitness.
TMAD, as the restaurant calls itself, has been described by food reviewers on YouTube as “the fast-growing rival to Panda Express.” It even has compared its food to Panda’s on its official TikTok account.
What kind of food does Teriyaki Madness offer?
As you can likely imagine, TMAD sells made-to-order teriyaki bowls. Aside from traditional chicken, steak, salmon or tofu teriyaki, bowl options include orange chicken and chicken katsu.
Proteins are served over a choice of white rice, brown rice, fried rice or noodles, with steamed or stir-fried vegetables.
Appetizers include a chicken egg roll, edamame, chicken potstickers and crab rangoons.
