First the spring rolls were ok leaned a little chewy but the peanut sauce was good. The chicken i was not a fan. It came in a large piece so the presentation was great.

If I came back I would order a higher spice level. Maybe today was an off day because others seemed to love it.

High praise…read morefrom other reviews are good indication of consistent quality meals they've been serving, hot and fresh everytime and its served timely. My favorite is the Chicken Katsu and for Lunch Special get Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu combo for $13.99 (pre tax). It comes with two scoops of rice and side salad. Chicken Teriyaki is tender and has a great smoke charred flavor, sauce is not overly sweet or salty. Rice is good quality and texture, cooked perfectly. The owner is friendly and the restaurant is kept clean. I read on other recent review that dine-in customers were served their meal in take-out containers and I can confirm that I saw a couple eating in at the restaurant today (while I was waiting for my takeout) and they were eating in takeout container as well. I know some places do this by default so I don't know if they've always done it this way, but I guess if I am eating in, I would prefer to eat my meal on a plate, something to note but not a reason for me to dock a star for it. The location is in a newer plaza complex in Lacey with plenty of parking and easy to get in and out roundabouts. Great pricing too. They kept it true and consistent through thick and thin over the years!

They hold against the teeth the way good noodles should. The broth comes through, then the pork, and then the marinated egg with its dark, quiet flavor. It is more authentic than the ramen you buy at the Asian grocer and take home to make yourself. There is something different about a bowl made by someone who knows what the bowl is supposed to be. The room was not what you might imagine when you think of ramen. It was somewhere between a teriyaki place and a sandwich shop. The building was full of businesses and the room belonged to the building. There was nothing wrong with that. A man does not need much from a room when he has a good bowl in front of him. The waitresses understand this. They come by often. They look at the table and see what is needed. Water. Another thing. Anything that is not quite right. They take care of it. That matters. It is a good bowl of ramen, and they take good care of you while you eat it.

Ok Happy Teriyaki I see you. I got a combination of chicken teriyaki and hot and spicy chicken…read more While they were a bit too generous with the sauce for both entrees, damn they were good. The chicken was much thicker than the chicken teriyaki you'd get at Panda Express and while the teriyaki sauce tasted a bit different, I enjoyed it. The meat was moist and tender and so delicious. And the portions were big too. I ended up taking about half of each entree and 3/4 of my steamed veggies and put them in a separate bowl to eat and saved the rest for dinner the following night. While this place might be a little more expensive than Panda, I think the higher quality of the chicken absolutely makes it worth it! I got here around 5pm on a Monday and I ordered right away and they had the food out in about 10 minutes. If I eat here again I'd probably ask for the sauce on the side so I could choose how much to put on it but I was thoroughly impressed and I enjoyed my meal a lot. And I was really glad I could sub out the white rice for steamed veggies. Next time I've got a craving for chicken teriyaki I'd definitely choose this spot over Panda. I guess I'll have to try their orange chicken next time to see how it measures up. But great tasting food and hefty portions, 5/5!

A wonderful place! At first glance you see a small take-out place with a few tables inside for eating.Don't let the size of the restaurant fool you! If eating in your food does come out on paper plates but again it's mostly take-out and the kitchen is small so no biggie there. The staff are warm and friendly and very,very helpful. Always willing to bring us anything we needed even as small as a packet of soy sauce. The food itself was wonderful and the portions are huge! Plenty left over for tomorrow's lunch. We were impressed with the quality of the food and the flavors were wonderful. I'll be reccomending this place to anybody willing to listen!! read more

First time checking this place out. Craving some good Chinese food, my coworker told me about this little place. I was a little turned off by the atmosphere when I went to pick it up. Not the cleanest place. I just know I wouldn't want to inside there. The food itself was ok. Nothing special. I haven't found a great Chinese restaurant yet. I do say that the servings are decent for the price. Way cheaper then other restaurants. read more

The lo mein was fully loaded with juicy shrimp, chicken, and beef. The noodles were springy and perfect, the veggies were crisp, and it was the best lo mein I've had in the area, and I think I've tried them all. The menu in the store has an "authentic" section, so next time I'll get some things from there as well as the Americanized stuff. Service was polite, friendly, and prompt, and my takeout was neatly packed and had a fork, napkin, fortune cookie, and soy sauce in the bag. I ordered at the counter and then went next door to the Sensory Toolhouse for a few minutes, so I'm not sure how long it took, but less than ten minutes. Can't wait to go back!

Unfortunately, no sweet and sour sauce was included with our order. There wasn't an option to request it when ordering, and it wasn't listed as a side. I've never been to a Chinese restaurant that didn't include sweet and sour sauce with crab rangoon and egg rolls. Without it, both were very dry and ended up being difficult to eat, which made nearly half of our order very disappointing. The sesame chicken was the highlight. I liked that it was only lightly breaded, if at all, and the flavor was good. Overall, it was a letdown. We rarely order takeout and based on this experience, I don't think we'll be ordering from here again.

The Mapo had a nice heat level and a good amount of Szechuan peppercorn to provide that tingling sensation. The Szechuan beef had heat but not so much as to make us olds reach for the zantac (immediately). Veggies were fresh and the dish was not killed by a heavy sauce.
