Jade Teriyaki

One of SDQ’s only non-pizza, non-burger counters

Jade Teriyaki shows up in Las Américas (SDQ) directories as a straight Asian fast-food counter, nothing fancy, but useful when you can’t look at another slice or fried chicken sandwich. It runs in the mid-range $$ price tier, so expect mains to land above basic food-court pricing but below sit-down restaurant checks in Santo Domingo.

Figure on fast-casual timing: order at the counter, wait 5–10 minutes, and carry your tray back toward your gate. Service rhythm is more mall food court than full restaurant, which helps if boarding starts in 20–30 minutes. With its 5-star rating in local listings, it currently scores higher than most quick options in the SDQ terminal.

Menu basics stick to the teriyaki theme: grilled chicken or beef on rice, sometimes with basic stir-fry vegetables. Portions generally lean larger than a standard burger combo, so one main can usually carry you through a 3–4 hour flight. Expect soft drinks in cans or plastic bottles, not a full bar, and sides in the usual range of fried rice or noodles instead of fries.

Prices sit in the mid-teens in USD once you add a drink, similar to other $$ spots at Caribbean airports. That’s more than street food in Santo Domingo but competitive with SDQ’s other sit-down choices. The value equation: you trade decor and table service for a quick, hot rice bowl that beats terminal snack runs or a third round at the pizza counter near your gate.

Tip: if your flight from SDQ is over 3 hours, grab a teriyaki plate and eat half in the terminal; box the rest and you’ve got a backup meal when the onboard “snack” turns out to be just cookies.
