Great service every time! The food is always fresh and hot! I highly recommend this location.

Okay, owner/cook has never had the best phone etiquette, but tonight was ridiculous! When asking for kids chicken katsu, he said "no! We don't have!" I said I'll call back since I was ordering for multiple people. When I called back I said 2 orders of chicken breast teriyaki. He said "No! I only have one" then he hung up on me! I'm done! I have overlooked the filth of the restaurant due to liking the food. Sadly, I won't go back. read more

Do not go here it's very unsanitary to eat anything here! It's filthy and moldy, dusty and it speaks for itself. I was hungry late and walked out. King county even has them on the lowest rating I don't know how it's even open. Can't speak for the service but he never even came to the counter. read more

We went here on Friday lunchtime. We ordered the chicken teriyaki, and beef yakisoba. Apparently I guess not alot of people do dine in here. So they don't even have tap water for dine in customer. The old guy was asking us to buy our water. Anyway the food was so so nothing interesting really. I asked if they had miso soup since it was in the menu nope they do not. Also no calamari even if it was also in the menu. Far disappointing really, and it seems it's run by one old guy. He is the cook, the cashier and probably the owner too. read more

Good teriyaki and nice sized portions. It's a small place with limited seating but the food has always been great and one of our favorites in town read more

I do my best to not give bad reviews but this was really really bad. My son found dead flies (or gnats not sure)in his steamed rice, there were more then a few and I found some as well although unfortunately for me I had already had a few forkfuls. His salmon teriyaki smelled and tasted really off and I'm pretty sure my chicken teriyaki had gone bad as well. Maybe there is a refridgerator broken or the meat quality is just really poor but after $45 for two plates I left both meals on the table and left. There were flys and what looked like some mold inside and when we were exiting I realize there was no Washington posting for food safety. I'm hoping everything is fine. Back at home and we are eating yogurt for dinner after flushing almost fifty bucks down the the toilet. Just hoping that will be the only thing to go down the toilet tonight. On the bright side there are fifteen lovely fish in a pond inside, but the downside is they may be suffocating. There were a bunch of rotting bottle caps in there and my son stuck his hand in someone's piece of gum as an added bonus. read more

Not much to look at, but don't let that fool you. This is the best teriyaki place around. Chicken is grilled to tender, juicy, savory perfection. Can't argue with flavor! read more

We decided to try this place since the Hawaiian food restaurant in the same area was closed. One guy seems to be handling everything from taking orders to cooking, so you gotta wait 5-10 minutes. We ordered a Spicy Garlic Chicken (a bit too sweet; left) and teriyaki chicken & calamari (right) lunch combo and they were surprisingly decent. The sauce is a bit too sweet for us, but maybe we can ask for less or the sauce on the side next time. For around $12/$13, you get pretty good portion of meat as you can see in the picture. We'd come back here again. read more

I ignored the recent reviews and went in to see if the place is like I remembered it. It is I went for the food, not the ambiance, not to be entertained by the cook/ only person working. I'm rating it 5 stars on my expectations which were exceeded. The food is as good as you're going to find at any teriyaki place and better than most. The portions are huge I had Pork Teriyaki, take out. I've been here several times over the years, the same gentleman is usually working by himself. I respect that he is busy and treat him how I like others to treat me. He's always polite and helpful. He is not the entertaining type. If you're looking for ambiance move on, you picked the wrong place. I'll be back. read more

I was really hoping to like this place and have an alternative to Best Teriyaki (near the library), but ultimately this place was just average, at best. The interior was a bit sad: wallpaper coming off the wall, tiny pond for the koi fish, crumpled magazines on the counter. But I wasn't here for the interior, so I decided to give it a try. Their menu prices were affordable with lots of options. I got the lunch chicken teriyaki and gyoza special. The chicken was ok, could've used more time on the grill for more crunch, rice was ok, salad was kinda weird with shredded lettuce, the gyoza was probably the best thing. Food didn't take long but I was the only one there. Went to Safeway while the order cooked, which was convenient. I mostly felt bad for the owner who appears to run both the counter and kitchen. Hopefully the quality in the food increases, I wouldn't mind paying more for it. Best Teriyaki has a bit of an edge on this place, but Tokyo Teriyaki on the ridge is still the best IMO. read more

Quick post. Food is what you would/should expect at a "Seattle-area" teriyaki spot. Nothing too great but tasty enough and filling. Problem is the owner. Not friendly, doesn't greet upon walk up, doesn't say thank you for business and the part that really got me was as I was walking out I asked for chopsticks (those cheap wooden ones) AND a fork (because I like to eat the side salad with a fork). He said "one or the other, not both." I replied "really? That little cheap fork is too much for you to give me both and make the customer happy?" He just looked at me and turned his back towards me and prepped another to go bag (no one else in the restaurant). I realize that it is his call, but come on, a fork? You really have to watch your money that much that you can't throw in the smallest, cheapest plastic fork in existence?? Lame and VERY shortsighted. Guess who will NOT be going back in for a $12 lunch special or take any of his 6 kids in for the same? Hundreds if not thousands of unearned dollars because of his "policy" on cheap cutlery. read more

Update! Always amazing and on point!! Seriously don't know why people don't come here more often! Chicken katsu has never been bad! Iv always enjoyed coming here since I was a kid, pretty good place! Service is friendly and good too. read more

Really good food! We were a bit wary to try this place because of the reviews, but some reviewers commented on the katsu and how good it was, so we finally took the risk. So glad we did. We got our order to go, and the person that took our order was pleasant and prompt. Ordered a side of gyoza, delicious. I had chicken teriyaki and short ribs. I got them both spicy and I found it to be flavorful, and a generous portion. Husband ordered the chicken katsu, which he also enjoyed. Take the risk and give this place a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

Watched food handler repeatedly process payment transaction and immediately go back to handling food without any sanitation to hands of any kind. So, I got served food that had just been touched by all the. Customers that ordered just before me, including of course, every dirty job that they just came from. I Checked with another previous client, same unfortunate situation has been going on for a very long time. I question if that is legal. I did not eat it. read more

Can be busy at times but hands down the best fried rice anywhere. I have also tried many other items and everything is very consistently excellent quality. read more

People appear to disagree with me, but I absolutely love this place! I come by all the time to order take out and have never had a single complaint. Food-wise, I always get chicken teriyaki or chicken katsu. The teriyaki is quite good, but the katsu is an absolute dream! It's so good!! The sauce is sweet and tangy and the chicken is always cooked to perfection - crispy and breaded without feeling too heavy. They also make some pretty dang solid rice Everytime. I went to place an order on a week night around 6PM and waited no more than 10 minutes for my order! On nights where it looks busy, I'll just run over to Safeway and pick a few things I need up. Such a convenient location! And I've already had perfectly fine interactions with the people working here - they are nice, quick, and always answer my questions! This is my go to take out spot in Duvall - I love it! read more

[To those who upset about how slow this place]This place is very honest. Chief cooks everything in honest way that's why it takes longer than other places . Quick food may save time but can be just as you eat food just like TV dinner; frozen and microwaved food. Also I can tell this restaurant uses the best quality ingredients .Just simply about mayonese, vinegar, or soy sauce therere so many different brands on the market; I saw delivery guy brought the best brands kinda impressed because many restaurants uses cheaper ingredients to make more profits. So my conclusion is if you want to eat real food with less money, try this place. If you want to save time, try others bout remember you may save time but you will end up getting food just like microwaves TB dinner. read more

Food is great. For those bitching about the wait, you've obviously never worked in the food industry with short staff. I don't go to restaurants for conversation, so I appreciate that they don't make meaningless small talk. They take your order, go make your food, bring it out. They don't serve noodles that have been sitting since they cooked them that morning, everything is made to order. We go there frequently and will continue to do so. read more

I've gotten take out here a bunch basically out of convenience. The food is average and the service is bad, really bad. The front person is usually somebody new every time you go there. They always say it will be done in 15 minutes regardless if its dinner rush or not. FYI if its dinner rush its usually 30-40. And when they screw up your order they just shrug their shoulders and make you wait another 30 minutes to fix it. The last draw was seeing their food safety rating as "Okay". I will never eat here again. read more

"meh" Typical teriyaki place, typical food, nothing special here. If I want teriyaki and don't want to drive more than a mile, I go here. The food is good, not particularly interesting or exciting or anything, but it's decent quality stuff. read more

Stopped here to pick up some lunch while waiting for my brother to get off work. I ordered chicken teriyaki, and it was a huge portion with plenty of sauce. So many places go weak on the sauce, so this was refreshing. I never eat the salad that comes with it, so I can't speak for that. I ended up eating half and gave the rest to my brother. Both of our bellies were very happy. :o) read more

The food is very standard PNW teriyaki and grocery store-quality sushi (not bad at all but not amazing either). The biggest issue I have is that you can end up waiting for 45 minutes during dinner to get you food (happened to me on more than one occasion). I don't dislike this place, I just remember to order (way) ahead when I want food here. read more

Yet another odd Duvall dining establishment! My daughter still loves this place. I remain mixed. Yep service is spotty on a good day. Chicken teriyaki is ok, and frankly the pork chicken mix is actually pretty tasty. Avoid anything beef. Chewy would be a compliment. Gyoza I don't like. Salad is plain Jane with some cabbage mixed in sometimes. As a crow flies this the closest restaurant to my house. We order food there. It will do. read more

We love coming here to get the chicken teriyaki. The chicken is so tender. We always get our order fast too!

The best gyozas I think we've ever had! The food was so good! Clean place, super friendly! Good portions and good prices!

This place has probably the best teriyaki! I will be back in the future! I highly recommend checking this place out.

I like their food but the woman doesn't speak or understand English very well. I ordered take out and when I got the food home half of my order for 8 people was missing. Yes I paid for the 8 meals but only received 4. When I called the woman played dumb or maybe not.She wouldn't give me a refund or credit my Visa. I liked their food but I do not their service. read more

The teriyaki is good. Teriyaki is just teriyaki, like anywhere else. Nothing stands out about it. The issue I have with this place is the last 3 times I have been here it has always taken way too long to get my take out. The service is bad and they never seem to care. If you go during any sort of rush, be ready to wait 50 minutes for TAKE OUT. Unacceptable. I would recommend looking at other options for teriyaki. read more

Used to be favorite place. After experience tonight will never be back. We have been enjoying Happy At the Bay since they opened years ago. My son and I have never been treated so rude. read more

This place has delicious teriyaki/ spicy chicken and rice... not a huge fan of the chicken katsu though..."Tokyo Teriyaki" hands down has been the best teriyaki place i have been too... but Happy at the Bay is pretty darn good on these parts of town. yes at times they are really busy, but thats what shows that they HAVE good food- otherwise there wouldnt be much business right? :) read more

The man is a fantastic cook and I have never been disappointed with a selection. His egg rolls are easily some of the best I've ever had, and it's so hard to find proper whole grain rice but theirs is amazing. On the down side it is very often a one man operation when it's painfully obvious that he needs at least three people. Sadly, most of his employees tend to be high school students that leave when they realize actual work is involved. Some of the best Asian food in the valley, I have no complaints about this restaurant, other than the inconsistent service. read more

Didn't eat here so this review isnt actually of the food itself. Walked inside and stood at the counter for maybe 5 minutes with no one there. Was able to take in the scenery and this place is FILTHY. The cutting board in the kitchen was dark brown (it was white around the edges), they had a black/melted laundry basket back there, open paper bags of rice on the floor, not to mention everything inclusinf the front glass window looked coated in grease. I walked out without being seen by an employee. read more

My favorite here is the Beef Yakisoba. They also have a family meal which is wonderful but I think ordering in you actually get more than for take-out. It's a very popular place here in Duvall and had been around for years. Prices are comparable to other Teriyaki restaurants. read more

I love this place for my Terryaki needs! Always delicious take out!

I concur, this is the best teriyaki in Duvall, although when I have the time, I head to Toshi's in Redmond. Otherwise, Happy provides a satisfying meal at a fair price. The beef and the chicken breast teriyaki are both good, with large portions. The surroundings aren't all that welcoming, despite the best efforts of the waterfall (I'm still searching for the bay), so I usually consider this a take-away restaurant. read more

Definitely the best Terriyaki in Town. I have had better but definitely much worse. Good value for the money. Their side salad could use a little help and the customer service is not the greatest but who eats it there anyways! read more

The food is always good here. The service, not so much. Lately it seems like they are regularly getting our orders wrong and the girl running the front has zero customer service skills when it comes to dealing with these mistakes. This is a bit of drive for me so it is going to the bottom of my list of choices for a while. read more

Used to be good and fast. Must have changed hands? I ordered chicken stir fry and got chopped terriaki chicken in a bowl of cabbage. Literally no other vegetables. Too much money, service was slow and he was only cooking one dish at a time. I won't be back! read more

I'll be brief. The food was ok. The wait was beyond acceptable and I won't be back. The guy cooking had about 12 orders and could only cook one at a time. I'm sorry but this isn't how it works in this style of restaurant. The restaurant appears to have been painted by a bunch of girls on ecstasy with rave music blasting. read more

Happy at the Bay is comperable to most of the Teriyaki places in the area. The main teriyaki dishes are fine, the gyoza is always overcooked to the point of being dried out, but the food is generally decent. This is one of the two teriyaki take-out restaurants that we routinely frequent (Miyako's on Redmond Rdge is the other), but it is more a matter of convenience than because we think it is special. read more
