Teriyaki Madness is a caterer in Columbia, SC, serving made-to-order teriyaki bowls from its kitchen at 942 Harden St. The menu centers on marinated, grilled proteins - chicken thigh, chicken breast, steak, tofu and salmon - paired with a choice of white rice, brown rice, fried rice or noodles and fresh stir-fry vegetables. Bowls include Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Breast Teriyaki, Spicy Chicken Teriyaki, Orange Chicken, Steak Teriyaki, Salmon Teriyaki, Spicy Tofu Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu and a Yakisoba-style bowl. Guests who cannot settle on one protein can choose two, with four ounces of each.

The restaurant holds a rating of 4.40 from 196 reviews.

The bowls are built to travel, packed in take-home containers with tight lids that are dishwasher safe. Chicken is hand-trimmed and grilled, steak is hand-trimmed, lean and marinated, tofu is hand-cut and fried crisp on the outside, and chicken katsu is hand-breaded in Japanese panko breadcrumbs and lightly fried, served with a house-made katsu sauce. Spicy bowls are wok-tossed in a signature spicy sauce, and the MAD SAUCE line adds a second layer of heat to chicken, steak, orange chicken and tofu. The restaurant also offers a rewards program and an app.

The restaurant sits on Harden Street in Columbia, a short walk from Prisma Health Urgent Care and about 0.1 miles from Market Place Shopping Center. The A.S. Salley House is roughly 0.2 miles away, as are the Five Points neighborhood and The Fountain at Five Points.
