Gyro Teriyaki

I guess it is true what they say. The Chinese who cooks Japanese food always make a great Greek meal.

Gyro Teriyaki is primarily a take-out restaurant. The ambiance is set with its dining facilities, three two-person tables. Gyro Teriyaki serves average Chinese and Japanese food, but they make a great Lamb Gyro. A gyro is a common Mediterranean street food. Traditionally, Lamb is laid atop a warm and crispy flatbread. The meat is covered in greenery (in this case lettuce) and doused in yogurt sauce.

The lamb gyro at Gyro Teriyaki is exactly that. The meat is freshly cut off the rotating lamb skewer which makes it crispy and tender. The warm softness of the bread blissfully juxtaposes the crunch of the lettuce and tomato. The gyro is the epitome of FSFW: Great food at an unexpected locale, easy to quickly devour yet shockingly filling, and most importantly, under $5.
