“ Your typical Hole-in-the-wall cult following Korean couple owned restaurant. Don't come here to expect quality customer service. Food: Been here twice and ordered the #5 17 (Chicken Katsu Korean Spared Ribs entre, more expensive end item) twice; things tasted the same both times. unique Katsu sauce, nicely grilled ribs (slight dryer side), comes with two soy based sauce and packaged sweet and sour sauce. Big proportion, perfect for their Bham Western WA locals. Customer Service: Don't expect it, this is not a Karen friendly place and the food sells itself. They get large volume of orders and calls, and if you call just tell him what you want, and he'll immediately hang up the phone on you. The owner sometimes stops taking order before 7pm, so make sure to go there early. Interior is ight, just go down to Fairhaven if you want a nicer view. Tip: Know your menu items well and call ahead. Don't be sad if the owner with broken English hangs up immediately after you order without saying an extra word. #Efficiency Food receiving expectations: 15-25 mins wait and the owner coming outside pointing and yelling your item# at you. He somehow knows and remembers everyone's order. They take their COVID-19 situation seriously, so be respectful and wear a mask :) ”
“ Love getting Katsu here when we get a chance. The crispness of the katsu is superb, and the sauce is finger licking good! ”
“ I ordered the spicy chicken and a side of gyoza. The gyoza were well cooked with crispy edges, serving side was good and plenty of sauce for dipping! The teriyaki was very spicy but well flavored. I ordered a 5 out of 6 levels of spiciness. Service was good and I didn't have to wait long. Call ahead if you don't want to wait. The phone was ringing off the hook! I forgot to get the complimentary soup. Something to try when i go back. ”
“ Super Duper offers great teriyaki that's filling and delicious. The service isn't great but it's fast and it works. Also they have complimentary miso soup which is always nice when waiting for your meal. EDIT: Super Duper has changed ownership since this review and so I thought I'd update. The new owners haven't changed the quality or taste of the food but they have upped the quality of service. The interior has also recieved an upgrade. Although the charm of the original hole in the wall superduper is gone it seems like superduper is in good hands. Oftentimes due to the popularity of this spot, trying to call in an order might be met with a voicemail but that's just a part of the experience ”
“ This place has been one of Fairhaven’s best kept gems for as long as I’ve lived here. Originally just super teriyaki back when the super store was still next door. They still have some of the best quick teriyaki in town. And the self serve miso soup with green onions is a huge bonus with every meal. My favorite is the pork yakisoba. Or the chicken fried rice. And you get to choose your spice level I think it’s one through five with every dish., I always do spice level twoThe seating is a little tight inside especially when it gets busy, I personally recommend ordering to go or grabbing the outside table. I usually order run Nextdoor for beers(great selection) cigarettes and snacks for later, at the store while I wait. Don’t forget the miso soup it’s simple but amazing. ”
“ The prices aren't the best and the owner isn't very friendly, but the portion size and food itself is great. It's speedy service and perfect for takeout. Special #3 is fantastic!! ”
“ Their katsu sauce is very unique - a little creamy like coconut curry but has the tanginess of BBQ sauce. Also has the sweetness of peanut butter. This is a must try if you are a big katsu fan. My favorite menu here is Special #3 : Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki ”
“ A Bellingham Cult Classic - Out of all the local teriyaki options Super Duper Teriyaki is by far the best around. Not only is it affordable (Under 11 for the Chicken Teriyaki) it's also delicious. My friends and I have been coming here for years and have never been let down. Sometimes the staff can be assertive, but that just means your food will be even better. Super Duper Teriyaki is truly run by some of the hardest working people in Bellingham, they deserve all the patience and support you can offer. Grabbing some food to go and heading to Boulevard Park makes for a fantastic date night, just saying. ”
