How YAKI Got Started
Back in 2020, I launched a small food truck with a big idea: create simple, filling meals that are always gluten, dairy, and nut-free. It was during COVID, and we wanted to give folks a meal they could count on. That’s how the YAKI box was born.
Why We Cook the Way We Do
Yaki means “cooked over fire,” and that’s exactly how we do it. Most of our meats are smoked daily using real charcoal and post-oak wood. From our smoked chicken teriyaki to brisket and salmon, we make everything fresh with original recipes. You’ll always find something good cooking when you stop by.
From Food Truck to Drive-In
Two years after launching the truck, we found an old Sonic drive-in at 1307 S Valley Mills Dr in Waco, TX. We cleaned it up and made it our own. That’s how the YAKI Drive-in came to life. Now we’ve got a full kitchen, more space, and the same mission—serving fast food that feels good to eat.
Why You Should Come By
If you’re in Waco and want something easy, filling, and cooked with care, YAKI Texas Teriyaki is the spot. We’re open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:30 AM to 7:30 PM. Whether you want to dine in, grab takeout, or order delivery, it’s always simple to get your box. Come by and see what Texas Teriyaki is all about.
