QUICK REVIEW: Jack in the Box Steak Teriyaki Bowl (2018)

Jack in the Box Steak Teriyaki Bowl  2018

What is it?

A steak version of Jack in the Box’s Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, both of which come with broccoli, carrots, and now with your choice of white or brown rice (I got white rice). While it’s advertised as “new,” it’s not the first time Jack has offered a teriyaki bowl with steak.

How is it?

There’s a decent amount of meat, and the pieces are tender, but there were a few that I had to get a little rough with. The broccoli and carrots are bright, fresh, have a pleasant crunch to them, and there’s enough that it’s safe for me to proudly exclaim to anyone who cares about my health that I had a serving of vegetables.

As for the teriyaki sauce, it’s sweet with a slight peppery kick. But it’s also annoyingly salty and completely masks the steak’s flavor. If anyone who cares about my health tasted the sauce, they would most definitely say I negated any health benefits from eating the serving of vegetables in this bowl with the sodium in that sauce.

Is there anything else I need to know?

Use the fork that comes with the bowl to mix everything because the teriyaki sauce isn’t drizzled over the rice and vegetables. But there’s enough of it under and around the steak pieces to make the white rice not so blindingly white if you toss the ingredients well.

Conclusion:

Jack in the Box’s Steak Teriyaki Bowl is okay fast food fare. But the sauce makes me hesitant to purchase it again. I’ve had the chicken teriyaki bowl several times, but I don’t remember the teriyaki being that salty. Maybe it’s the combination of meat with the sauce. I don’t know.

  1. Jack in the box teriyaki bowl … is just amazing a great flavor with tender steak from now at on my favorite and beside the price are great 5 dollars with one egg roll and drink never back to eat in Coshinoya is expensive and give you something like piece of beacon for steak.. So Jack you got 5 stars

  2. I used to love the chicken teriyaki bowl but the last few times I ate it, I felt sick the following day. I think it’s the amount of salt in the sauce.

  3. i initially was super excited about the teriyaki bowls. I thought it was a unique buy and overall healthier than fried foods on the menu. However, the taste was very bland. Not very delicious at all. It taste like manufactured frozen ingredients dumped into a bowl and warmed to serve.
