Under new ownership! I ordered the galbi this time, and the marinade was delicious and the meat was incredibly fresh. The portion size was good. I'm definitely making this my go-to spot from now on! The service is friendly and the restaurant is very clean. Highly recommended! read more

Food quality took a nose dive under new ownership. I used to order multiple times a week from this place. Old place had High quality food, great recipes. I loved the combo, and we especially loved the dressing. This latest meal, ordered today tastes like a cheap knockoff of what the food used to be. Will never order again. Way too cheap tasting and the teriyaki tastes overly sugared and cheap. Extremely frustrated. read more

new ownership food quality is knock off PF Changs at best and not prepared well looked great but first bite was terrible. Also no table ordering, order first pay and tip before seating is always bad. read more

Love their food. I had short ribs and chicken fried rice. Their food is always good.

Generous portions and delicious food! The best chicken stir-fry I ever had!! Well worth heading to this place.

Fairly average food. I ordered delivery and thought the food was fair, but nothing special. Portion sizes were also pretty standard, it wasn't packed or anything. Chicken Katsu wasn't super crispy and was lighter. It was pretty soft but still tasted good, only would be much better with crispiness. They placed the katsu sauce outside instead of inside the box which meant more food (as some places do place it inside). There was plenty of katsu sauce so I appreciated that. General Tso's Chicken was pretty average. Kind of resembled Orange Chicken rather than General Tso's as there was a lack of spice - it tasted more sweet with the sauce. read more

Quite possible the best teriyaki in the area. It tasted like they used peanut oil when cooking the teriyaki. The bento boxes had a ton of food and I was able to have left overs for lunch the next day. The tempura was fresh and hit the spot. Not a fan of their rolls unfortunately. They had chunks of pork in them and wasn't really my style but my partner ate them. There wasn't anything wrong with them but I tend to like rolls with more veggies and only a bit of meat. I was surprised to get an entire plate of salad. It was amazing and I was able to share it with my partner, too. The perks of eating inside :) read more

Tasty! Server was pleasant and thorough. Food is always consistent and very good. We really enjoy the fried rice choices.

The food was fresh and the proportions were large. We ordered it and it only took 15 minutes until we were able to pick it up and take it home. The restaurant is nice and clean. read more

Great tasting food, large portions, and quick service! We ordered a bento box and general Tso chicken meals. We were brought egg drop soup and house salad. Excellent tasting, hot egg drop soup, and cold house salad. The salad dressing is wonderful. Just as we finished up our main dishes arrived. Tasted so good we shared each others food. We do that when the food tastes really good. We tried, but couldn't eat all the food and ended up asking for take home boxes. We will be returning in the very near future. The place is very clean and comfortable. Nice atmosphere, has music playing like when you're getting a massage. Very relaxing. read more

Favorite teriyaki place in town!! Food came out so quickly, so fresh. You can tell that the cooks put so much care into each and every dish they put out. The restaurant recently came under new management and the future of the restaurant is looking very bright! The current menu is great, however they're increasing their menu to include even more delicious options. Would definitely recommend and will be back again soon. read more

Such wholesome workers here! The place is under new management, and the food here great!! The prices are great, and the portions are huge - def worth and they even have lunch specials. Everything tasted fresh and and not too salty. The inside was very clean too. We got the sesame chicken (my fav), chicken katsu, veggie fried rice and a California roll (sorry we forgot the take pictures). This will be our to-go to teriyaki place whenever we're in the area :) read more

In my experience the food has always been delicious and the portions are always plentiful! I usually only get to go and the srvice in that regard has always been kind and speedy! If you want some delicious teriyaki in the fircrest area and support a local business while you're at it this place is the place to go hands down! read more

I've been thinking about stopping by here a while and seeing if they can give Happy Hana (my favorite teriyaki in the area) a run for their money. I'm so glad I did! I ordered a Crunch Monster Roll, which was shrimp tempura, cucumber, cream cheese and crunch flakes. The good? The pieces were MASSIVE. At least two pieces in one! The bad? The pieces were MASSIVE! Very messy-but I ate every last bite of it. I only wish there was more substance inside-the shrimp tempura and cream cheese was very small. By the way, I noticed there were only three sushi rolls on the menu-it looks like it was pared down significantly from previous pictures. That was a bit of a bummer. I also got crab rangoons, which are a weakness of mine. They seemed to be a bit overdone, but when you bit into them they were warm and moist. They tasted more cream cheese than crab, which is fine with me! I got chicken breast tempura and paid $2 for a fried rice upcharge. So. Much. Food! I was so pleased to see how much chicken I got! Well worth the $10.95! The teriyaki sauce is THICK. Like syrup thick, so I'm glad they put it on the side. I ended up dipping the chicken in the sauce as opposed to pouring it on. The chicken reminded me of a katsu-type texture as opposed to oily, as some places taste/look. The fried rice was firm and filling, with onions, peas and eggs. I didn't need to add soy sauce to anything which is always a bonus. I will definitely be coming back to try more things! read more

I love the food there it's amazing the customer service could be better but they get the job done

This place is great for Teriyaki, Chinese food and Korean Bibimbop. I mean the variety itself is great, but the food items are equally amazing. Service is always great and wait times are typical. read more

food was amazing along with the customer service! 10-10 would recommend this amazing food to anyone. definitely coming back! sat down to eat and the place was very clean and neat. read more

Best bubble tea I've ever had! Even beat the ones in Chinatown Seattle. Thick, creamy with a recent addition of several including my favorite- avocado. They also recently redecorated. It's clean, uncluttered and more modern than the usual dusty plastic flower collection and array of dying house plants. The food is good, as always. Large portions with plenty for leftovers and competitively priced. The reason for the 4 stars is they don't offer Tempura Prawns in a meal, which is odd. It's either an appetizer or a combo with chicken. read more

Have to re-rate. I stopped in yesterday and got a spider roll and shrimp tempura. Both rolls were spot on. Crunchy shrimp and very fresh and tasty avocado. While I was there the owner gave me a huge container of miso soup for free and also informed me of a new menu AND new prices. They used to only have 3 sushi rolls, now there are 24! They also drastically reduced the cost. Last week a spider roll and a shrimp tempura were each 11.99, now, they are 6.95 and 7.95. I will be going back again soon....(today). Love it. read more

The food and the portions are awesome. The California roll is the best I've had. Prices are probably a little bit low for what you're receiving. The staff is very friendly and even came and gave us a free treat for dessert and then took photos with us and for us I would recommend this place highly seems like these people are deserving of your business. read more

I found this place because I was on a search for a new 'go-to' teriyaki spot since the one I like on 100th burned down unfortunately. I believe it's family owned: the parents handle the back of the house and the daughter takes care of the front of the house. She has great customer service and polite. The food is obviously delicious and for the price, they give you a substantial amount of food. Food is fresh, never pre-made. You can taste the quality of the food. Come try out their food. I recommend the tempura sushi roll; it's amazing! read more

Went to order take out here today....first time there. the teriyaki chicken and California roll were good. But the pad thai was horrible. They used these hard big noodles and it had chopped up teriyaki chicken mixed in with bits of other chicken. The sauce tasted so weird like fishy and sirricha sauce. I wont be going back! read more

Nice, quick thai/Japanese style food. Dinner salad included, large helpings, my favorite it the pad Thai or the vegetable yakisoba.

Very friendly staff! I stopped by here because I had gotten car sick and puked and needed to clean myself up, and they did not think twice to let me use their restroom and even let me have some of their complimentary candy at the register to freshen my breath. (I did gargle lots beforehand!) Very clean restaurant, the woman at the register was super nice and welcoming, and the bathroom smelled good. I've eaten here before but had it delivered. The food was as expected, no complaints. Now that I've been inside and know how kind the staff are I will definitely be giving them more of my support by being a return customer. read more

My husband and I have been postponing about going to this new restaurant and today we finally decided to try them. And let me tell you, we don't regret it one bit! Their menu had soo many selections you can chose from, the prices were fair/not overly priced and most of all they give you soo much food! And I'm not guna lie I was hesitant to come here because I thought we were only going to get a lil bit of food but not up in here! Lol the chicken teriyaki was delicious!! We will definitely come back here to try out the rest of their menu !!! read more

We ordered from Grubhub. It was quick for 4 orders. We all got the sesame chicken, it was great! Fresh and still really hot! Every chicken piece is good and not those pieces you get that are over done and hard. It really looks homemade but I'm not sure. Overall a good experience for us. We'll order from here again for sure. read more

Yummy chicken teriyaki! I'd prefer a bit more zest in the teriyaki but that's just a personal preference~ absolutely nothing wrong with theirs. The young lady working there was friendly in a real way and I felt like she heard me. It was quiet when I got there which concerned me at first but I looked them up on Yelp while waiting for my food and I was pleased with their score- now I know why. I will be back and I'll try something else. read more

Without a doubt, this is the best teriyaki I have found in the greater Tacoma area. After moving here from west Seattle and desperately missing my favorite teriyaki spot. I have spent countless lunches trying all the local spots and looking for consistently very good teriyaki. I finally found it. Food was cooked perfectly, veggies were fresh, the place was super clean, and the sauce was great. I almost completely gave up on my efforts as every other place I have been between north Tacoma and Lakewood has been a complete let down. This place definitely has to be considered some of the best teriyaki in the Tacoma area. I challenge anyone who thinks otherwise. Don't take my word for it. Try them all and then try this place. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly pleased too. I wish I had an award to hand them. It looks like this will be my new stop in the Tacoma area for teriyaki. read more

Love this place! The owner is kind and does not hold back on portions. The quality of food is also great. We had a couple times where we felt something wasn't completely right and we addressed the issue. One example was we didn't get one salad with one of our meals, but we later found out that it wasn't included with the meal I ordered. Yet, she still gave us a side plate! Her customer service always leads us to tip well. The food being great and large in portion is just a cherry on top. read more

This kind of food is best when there's a number behind the name. ;-) This family-owned spot is unassuming but always good and consistent. Wide range of Asian dishes. read more

Oh my! How utterly things have changed. We tried this place again a few days ago, and just had to leave. After sitting for ten minutes, listening to a blaring TV set while at the same time listening to blaring pop music over the speakers, we were finally greeted. We asked if either the TV or the Music be turned off, and whichever was still blaring turned down, we were told that nothing could be done. Really?? The TV is right there - hit the "off" button! She was actually really quite rude about it.... wow. Could she not understand we could barely talk to her let alone each other over the blaring noise of both a TV show and the radio? Why be so rude about it? The interior was all weirdly rearranged, with a new menu - there has clearly been a new ownership change that has not been properly reflected on Yelp. Beware! This is NOT the same restaurant we gave a 5-star review to. I wish I could actually retract that review, because it's no longer fair or accurate to leave it up. We left without even ordering - the environment was just so awful with the dueling blaring sound sources and the lack of any other customers at noon, it was a clear indication we weren't alone in our opinions. Sad. The previous owner/operator really had it dialed in but that's long gone. Avoid. There are too many other places in the area for good food to endure this place Dave read more

Good teriyaki! Been coming here for years! Portion quantity and atmosphere is up to my standards! Recommended!

What a very Happy experience! My sushi chef obviously delights in his profession and in customer service. Along with lovely visual presentations of the delicate seaweed salad, the miso soup in a wooden bowl, and the awesome Seahawks and Rainbow rolls (yes, I was hungry for good food), I can report the choice of a single lemon slice just between 2 sushi pieces that gave just the slightest addition of citrus flavoring to the sashimi topped piece. So thoughtful. And to add to the experience, Hoon sent his sweet waitress with an 'on the house' carved orange in the shape of what looked like a bunny. It wasn't just to admire...in the middle of the body, orange pieces were arranged to eat with a small dollop of whipped cream on top. Lovely, simple yet elegant little shop. read more

The food was great--some of the best strip-mall teriyaki I've had. And good prices. But the TV blaring "Hannah Montana" almost put me off my feed. Unless they've got a vast invisible 10-year-old clientele, they should really reconsider the programming. read more

Been to this place before it changed ownership. It was good then and it's good now except they don't have the spicy bulgogi now. The California rolls are made fresh and presented nicely. General's chicken was good too, just enough spice. Went at lunch time and people kept coming in. Waitress is nice and works hard. It's very clean and will go again to try other dishes. Hope they can offer the spicy bulgogi and I'd give it 5 stars! read more
