“Best buffet I have been to yet! Food/sushi is fresh and tastes delicious. The service is great, and you feel welcome. A couple of women love interacting with my baby and remember us, which is warming. The building is clean and had a very lovely decor. 100% recommend for a buffet!“
“This is the best Chicken ? Teriyaki by far in the City of Tacoma ? This is a local family owned business. Very clean and excellent customer service skillset by the owners and their kid's that works at Hot ? Teriyaki on 72nd Street and Portland Ave E. You can call ? head and they will have it ready for you to take home if you like. They have a Sushi ? Sensei there also and it's amazing and clean as the board of health ??♂️?It's all about love in this world ? People. Go to Hot Teriyaki ?.Peace Farmer J“
“This place is excellent! We had two California rolls, gyoza, and spicy teriyaki. All super yummy.I loved that the spicy chicken teriyaki had the vegetables mixed in instead of the side. I love spicy food so take this with a grain of salt but I'm calling this heat slightly over mild, but not quite medium. It is a comfortable little kick ?️ I didn't think I would like the rolls since the rice looked thinner than I'm used to but the flavor was absolutely there! I also got the regular fried gyoza ? which was awesome (dipping sauce too), but there is also steamed on the menu if you rather.My order was pickup so I didn't interact with the staff much, but they were all super welcoming and friendly when I walked in.We will be back for sure!!“
“I was able to make a dinner reservation on the day of. I ordered some nigiri and rolls (one deep fried and one fresh salmon roll). Rolls were okay, but was not worth 20 dollars each. On the other hand, sashimi and nigiri were very fresh and delicious. I highly recommend amaebi and salmon nigiri. Parking was not difficult. I just parked by the Y and walked a block or two down.“
“Cozy little teriyaki shop. Drive by here all the time, but never stopped by. Glad I did! Great teriyaki and gyoza.The fountain drink dispenser was out of carbonation, but they have a ton of bottled drinks available in the reach-in fridge right next to it.Parking: It’s a busy area, so parking can be a little tight. But when we arrived, we were able to find a spot.“
“Absolutely the best people with some amazing food and the atmosphere is awesome. This is a restaurant that actually cares about you. And they care about the food that they make. I would say this is the best teriyaki place I've ever been to.“
“I have pad Thai and Thai fried rice and they both well seasoned. One thing that I love is drink packaging. I always have a hard time mixing Thai tea by just stirring with a straw so it is great to see that use a better quality plastics cup that well sealed and reusable so I can shake the cup without creating a mess.“
“It's a small place, pretty standard when you just walk in. Now, let me tell you why I thought it was great! I ordered teriyaki chicken breast with extra meat and no rice sub extra veggies, sauce on the side. My friend ordered the teriyaki chicken and katsu chicken combo. The food all came our right and pretty quickly. We ate there, and I was a little different to get all of our own supplies. The tables were clean and well maintained. They have a little bit nicer round chopstick and very small cups for water (4 oz). The house made hot sauce was amazing and my friend loved it as well.While we were there, it was pretty slow. We were the only table for a while. The family came out and ate together. I thought this was nice. We were self-sufficient, and I was nice to see a family eat together today when we are constantly being driven apart.I will be back for the great food and laid back chill vibes with a touch of family.“
“This place has really good teriyaki and it's actually at an affordable price most teriyaki places are outrageously priced this place it was $15 for me to get chicken teriyaki breasts and 2 egg roll and it was delicious teriyaki I think I've ever had. This place is a hidden gem go there you won't be disappointed.Parking: Right directly across the street from the Rite aid at 72nd and Pacific Ave“
“We came here because of a good review. We felt like sushi and wanted to try a new place to us, It’s does not look like much from the outside. But it’s a hidden gem. Fresh fish. Extra large servings on the Bento box. It was authentic sushi. Great service. We plan to come back,“
“This place is amazing! The food is great and at a good price. The lady behind the register, June, is a gem. The food is delicious and her customer service and friendly demeanor makes you want to keep coming back. She made us feel very welcome when we moved to Tacoma a few years back. I always recommend this place to people when they ask for good Chinese food.“
“There are not a lot of sushi restaurants in Tacoma, and of those I know of, they tend to think they're in Seattle and it's okay to charge $20 a roll, or competing with gas stations to make you nervous, this place is the exception. It's affordable, not pretentious, cute interior with pretty solid sushi, (I stick with the veggie options but my friends have all enjoyed the fish, so second hand account on the actual sushi)If you live in the area and want sushi, I definitely recommend it, for whatever that's worth :)P.S. I'm grading this a bit on a curve due to the other options I've had, but it's a review so definitely biased in some way or another.“
“They have the most extensive sushi roll menu I've ever seen. There's something unusual about the batter on the deep fried rolls, I can't put my finger on it, but it's not like any other fried roll I've had. The prices are very reasonable.“
“This place is a gem!They put a lot of care into the preparation. The ambience is very intimate and relaxing with a nice low light. The tuna is the tastiest tuna! Very fast service, very clean. The parking lot is convenient.Parking: I think that the parking lot must have about 12 parking spots. The parking along the street is also very convenient and accessible and free. I don’t think most people would have trouble with parking in this location.“
“this is my absolute favorite teriyaki place in a 15 mile radius. the owner is so sweet, the food is amazing, the prices are cheap (should be more considering how good they are)! i’ve never once had a bad plate of food here or a bad experience. worth every penny <3“
“We Were Amazed!Hungry and a long drive ahead of us, hit up google and jumped off the freeway, found Happy Teriyaki but had our doubts due to the area.Our waitress quickly brought us drinks and took our order. She was so very nice.In no time, she returned with a feast fit for a king.Portion size was incredible and better yet, the flavors were incredible. With every bite, we would comment on how good the food was!We highly recommend Happy Teriyaki in Tacoma.If we lived near Tacoma, it would be our go-to dining spot!100% ?“
“I ordered the Mongolian Beef/teriyaki chicken combo 17.99 and a potato croquette 2.49. First of all, the amount of food you get is enough for two. It is basically a full order of each meat and 2 giant mounds of rice. Well worth the price. The potato croquette was sooo good. Creamy inside and crispy outside. The katsu sauce it came with was the best. Not all watered down either. The chicken was moist and cooked perfect. The teriyaki sauce was generous and very good. The beef was really good. I wish they had an option to make it spicy. Also wish they had a bit more veggies in the mix. NOT complaining, just my preference. This place is close to work, so will definitely be trying more from them for lunch in the future!“
“Very good teriyaki and katsu. Portions are big and worth the price. Food is served hot and fresh. Staff is friendly. To go order was ready quickly. There is a lot of seating available if you would like to dine in. I plan on returning. Would definitely recommend!“
“Found this restaurant when looking for someplace new to eat. I like that the restaurant was simple looking yet nice in its own way. The atmosphere was nice, but the service could have been better. There was only 3 tables that had people when we got there, and we were one of the 3. Our appetizers were barely warm, but luckily, my main course was hot.We got veggie tempura, steamed gyzoa, my girl got the rainbow Maki roll, and I got the shoyu ramen with extra meat.The ramen was a little too salty, but it was good. The rainbow roll was good as well.Overall, I still give this place a 4. We'd be willing to come back and try them again :)“
“The service here is great. Some idiot was blasting his phone inside the dining area, which I mentioned to the lady helping me and she asked him to turn it off. She was exceptionally friendly and helpful.The food was really good also (I got chicken fried rice), although it took much longer than comparable teriyaki places I've been to (it wasn't too busy).“
“As soon as I entered the restaurant, the owner welcomed me with a bright smile. Her kindness had already impressed me, and I felt that the food she made was bound to be delicious. The house combo yakisoba was truly a work of art. The properly cooked vegetables, somen, shrimp, beef, and chicken proteins were so soft, and the seasoning was perfect. If someone were to ask me for a recommendation for a teriyaki restaurant, this would be the first place.“
“Oh my goodness one of the best teriyaki places I've been to in a while Top Notch service cleanliness super friendly staff and good size portions can't say enough great things about my experience and I am feeling fat and happy LOL. By far the best beef teriyaki I've had in quite some time as wellA+++++????“
“A real gem. I will definitely be back. Food wash fresh and really well prepared. I get nervous with places with a very large menu, that it will all be 'meh.' In a party of four, we had one brisket pho, one veggie pho, one tofu General Tso's and one teriyaki bento. We all loved what we got. Prices are very reasonable. Portions are LARGE. I got a 'regular' size pho and had plenty to take home. Service was great. Restaurant was bright, clean and well lit. Parking is very limited, but a small price to pay considering the overall experience.“
“My experience was really good! I placed a pickup order for 1 spicy chicken teriyaki with rice and it was ready within 10 minutes of placing the call! The food was also super cheap compared to Teriyaki places more North of Tacoma! It was under $13 for a HUGE portion of white rice and chicken that was hot and ready (also super yummy and saucy)! So good I had to look at it in the car.“
“My husband and I found this place when we lived on 6th Ave. in Tacoma. He says their sesame chicken is some of the best he has ever had. I have driven 30 min out of my way in order to get their egg drop soup and their combo meals are so good for the price. I think the value and quality plus the service here is absolutely amazing. If I lived closer we would probably get food from here once a month.“
“Surprisingly good. I've passed by frequently but am always weary when restaurants serve too many varieties of food types. In this case burgers, Chinese and Japanese cuisines. That said, their burger and fries were phenomenal. I highly recommend the mushroom burger and grilled chicken burger, which is what we ordered.“
“I've been searching for a good seared salmon nigiri in the area but haven't had any luck. Most of the sushi places we visit don't even offer it on their menu. However, this spot has the perfect seared salmon nigiri. I'll definitely be returning here for more.“
