Sad Express I don't recommend their nigiri sushi. Heavy on the rice, that's for sure. They serve their dine-in customers with take out containers. They had all kinds of things stuffed into a corner. Musical instruments and other items. It didn't impress me as a super clean or an inviting environment. You win some and you lose some. Added note: I just couldn't get my order to add up to the amount charged. I guess the prices went up since the menu was printed. read more

Clean, friendly and food quality is top notch. I bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I frequent this place for their beef teriyaki and also volcano rolls, both are excellent. read more

Placed an order over the phone saying you'll be ready in 20 minutes I showed up in 30 line out the door so I walk up to the counter and told the lady I had already placed an order on the phone I'm on limited time schedule can I please just pay but she said no obviously told me I need to go to the back line so I told her just cancel my order she didn't believe me she called an hour later asking me to come pick up the food lol And just last week I spent $60 on the special end it was disgusting my wife and niece both did not finish their food practically spat it out on the plate. I'm done giving my money to them read more

This place used to be Andy's for many years and now it's under new management. The restaurant is neat and clean and offers a mixed menu of Sushi, Japanese and Korean dishes. We ordered the Hamachi collar on the appetizer menu for entree with rice and grilled Saba (Mackerel) lunch. The food was served within a timely manner, the Saba was grilled nicely and moist, though rather under seasoned. The Hamachi was the best, well charred surface and succulent within. Service was attentive and pleasant except the over powered perfume on the server was very profound which made it very difficult for us to enjoy our lunch, otherwise this restaurant would be good to stop by for a fast bite of lunch. read more

Not fresh sushi, scary. Don't try to send back, you'll pay anyway. Just hoping none of us get sick.

With an appetite for Chinese-American food, we tried to visit Kampo, but they were unexpectedly closed. Originally deterred by the extensive sushi menu at Happy, we decided to give it a shot. We were pleasantly surprised with a full page of Chinese dishes including single item, combo, and family style. Service was outstanding, and the food was beautifully presented. We got a number of different items and everything met or exceeded our expectations for flavor and consistency. The owner came to check on our table midway through the meal and was very welcoming. We just moved to the area and will definitely be putting Happy on our regular rotation. read more

I finally found it , THE HOLY GRAIL of all good DARN teriyaki places!!! It started from our friends , they told us about this really good teriyaki spot in our city that we had to try , since we just moved around the Auburn area we said why the hell not, let's try something new ! So we pull up to this cute teriyaki shop with TONS OF PARKING which is definitely plus points already, and we made our way into the place we were greeted by very friendly people who worked their & even the owners themself greeted us as well! We got seated fast , look over the menu which had a lot of GREAT options, this place served teriyaki, sushi & really delicious combos at affordable prices. So the lady takes our order and the waiting game begins. Not only did our orders come at a decent time the portioning was great, I felt completely full afterwards I got my classic C2 spicy with some gyozas on the side. It was GOOD! The sauce was sweet, spicy & very delicious , I hate going to a teriyaki spot they don't make it spicy or it's too sweet, BUT here they had the perfect balance OF THE SAUCE and the chicken was so tender and falls apart in your mouth. My husband ordered the chicken teriyaki with Mongolian beef and upgraded to fried rice for an extra dollar he said it tasted fantastic , all the flavors were on point. My friends ordered a few of the sushi rolls , they order took a bit longer just because they were made to order , so when they were handed their rolls they were fresh ! And I tried some and you can taste the quality and love the owners give into there food! You can't go wrong ordering sushi rolls or teriyaki here PERIOD. The SERVICE IS 5/5 they kept checking on us if we needed anything , filled our drinks & was just so friendly and sweet, we've definitely found our spot for teriyaki cravings and sushi cravings , 10/10 I'd recommend to at least try it here once , I'm telling you ! You'd be hooked. read more

Good food and good service. I definitely recommend this place. We're regulars. Love the shrimp chowmein

I'm so happy that there's finally a restaurant in Auburn that sells delicious, authentic sushi!! They have a huge selection of rolls to choose from, so it will satisfy any cravings you have - from baked rolls, traditional rolls, sashimi, and more. I can't remember what I ordered, but it had eel on it and it was so tasty! The shrimp tempura inside was very crunchy and it cost about $15. Overall, workers are friendly, parking and location is easy, prices are reasonable, and sushi is bomb :-) read more

Finally found our new go to teriyaki place in auburn after 2 years of searching. I ordered schezuan chicken and spicy chicken combo and my girlfriend ordered teriyaki and gyoza combo. The chicken in both dishes was cooked perfectly though i could have used a little more sauce and spice in mine. Gyoza was delicious as was the fried rice she substituted for white in her meal. The salad and dressing were also both great. For the service, the ladies that were running the place were incredibly friendly and fun and prices were reasonable. Id like to give them 4 1/2 stars due a little lack of flavor in my dish but they are new and im hopeful that will get better with a little time and the service took them over the top. We will be back. read more

Don't underestimate the power of the Happy Express train! Doesn't look like much from the outside, and I will say I was a tad skeptical at first, but DANG does this place pack a punch! Ambiance: Hidden little sushi bar off to the left is definitely cuter and more of a quiet and intimate setting. The diner area is ok, but I prefer the sushi bar. Hospitality: Really good service. Quick, attentive, drinks delivered promptly and food made fresh, to order and very quick turn around time in my opinion! Food: Sushi - The specialty rolls are BOMB.COM, so you can't go wrong there! The sushi chef is freaking awwWwWweSOME! I have visited the location several times as well as ordered takeout. The sushi is always consistently made and generous portions! VERY good value for the price. The sushi chef is also very generous with the extra goodies that comes on the sushi, you know, the stuff that you always wish you had just a little bit more of. Like, the crunchies on top and the spicey mayo and the teriyaki/eel sauce amazingness. When I visit the location he tends to give some extra sauce on the side when he sees I'm sopping it all up off my plate with my sushi rolls. I haven't tried the regular rolls since the specialty rolls are such a good value for the price and always delish, why bother getting the normal stuff when you can get the best! Poke - The poke bowls are also reallllllly good! SO fresh and light and really flavorful! If I wasn't such a glutton for the crazy wonderfulness and explosion of flavors in the specialty rolls, I would get these poke bowls more often! My husband absolutely loves them and goes for the poke bowl every time. Overall: Great price, great service, great value, would recommend to anyone for any reason at any time! My #1 go to when eating out! read more

Had a craving for unagi so we got the eel rainbow roll and dragon roll with gyoza. Fish tasted fresh and pickup order came with two dipping sauces: eel sauce and I think a spicy mayo. Salmon in particular was nice, I would come back to try some different rolls or salmon sushi. Avocado was fresh. Was good amount for 2-3 people. Gyoza were good, crunch on outside and soft pork filling. Service is friendly and they were having a nice little lunch rush for pickup and delivery. Nice variety of rolls. read more

This is a good place to go when you're in a mood for quick sushi or other Asian food. The ladies who work there are friendly, attentive and nice. They seemed to know many of the customers walking into the restaurant. The food was overall average. Nothing really stuck out. I had their Bento Special that came with variety of food, and it was good. I had a few sushi there, and they were alright. It's a good place to go if you just want a familiar Asian food. read more

They brought beef back yay! This is my favorite teriyaki place to eat and I'm so excited they brought some of my favorite dishes back.

This is the WORST Teriyaki I have ever had. First, I had to wait for 30 minutes for an order that was called in. I watched them put one of the meals I ordered into the microwave to heat it up then placed it in a bag on the counter. That meal, two salads and an order of gyoza sat on the counter for another 10 minutes while they made the second meal that was given to someone else in error. So, one fresh meal and one cold meal and a cold appetizer. The chicken breast was disgusting as they must boil the meat then place on the grill to give it grill lines. The meat was mushy and was like biting into a piece of soft rubber. The salad dressing was gross as it tasted like rotten fish. Gross.... Gross... Gross. Don't waste your time or hard-earned money on that crap! My rating would be a negative 10 if that was an option! read more

Thought we had found a good teriyaki place. Turns out we were wrong While my meal was ok , my wife's chicken teriyaki was so tough we ended up giving most of it to the dogs. Way overcooked We also think both my daughters and wife's food left them with mild food poisoning. We had eaten here about four times. This last time was the last read more

First time coming here and the food is amazing and great service.i got chicken Katsu it was delicious and my friend got butter chicken curry and I highly recommend coming here read more

i wish i remembered to take pictures but i didn't :( i hadn't eaten all day & this was the best quality teriyaki i've EVER HAD! like i am not a huge teriyaki person at all but the spicy chicken teriyaki is unimaginable. not fatty at all & overall just really flavorful! sold. the rolls we got too were also delicious, they were HUGE & a mouthful but delicious so that made up for the size. i would recommend the las vegas roll (if you like cooked sushi) & the spicy tuna tempura roll (if you like raw but not super raw sushi) this place is delicious read more

Bomb bomb bomb. Can't believe this is so close to home and we hadn't come. Love it! My sushi was so good and the general Tao was very well done too. Definitely coming back! read more

This restaurant is decently good and I recommend giving it a try. My husband ordered a salmon poke bowl and I ordered the shrimp yakisoba. I am normally a sushi girl but can't eat raw fish right now ... BUT.... I have to say, I couldn't help but stare and salivate at the sushi rolls the other tables were eating. They looked absolutely delish!!! My hubs enjoyed the poke bowl, he said it was exactly as it should be. My shrimp yakisoba was good. Vegetables were fresh, it had big prawns. The only fault I could find was the noodles were a bit gummy... But still tasted good. I was not impressed with the miso soup... No flavor...but it did not ruin the rest of the meal. The wait Staff is very friendly and quick to serve you the food. Prices are good. read more

Terrible service. No acknowledgment after waiting over 5 minutes but she had time to answer the phone WHILE WE WERE JUST STANDING THERE. 5 minutes is too long at any restaurant once you walk in. I don't expect to get seated in 5 minutes if they're extremely busy but at least acknowledge your costumers. read more

Not sure where the five stars coming from, the younger Korean lady is really rude... no greetings, I got my beef Mongolian first, 10 mins later I asked if my nigiri (raw) is ready, she said "you have to wait" Food was alright....Mongolian beef is too sweet. White tuna was still half frozen... the older Korean lady is really nice though. read more

We are new to the area and are constantly searching for our new favorite spots near home. Tonight we feel was a step in the right direction for building our "go to" list. My husband and I shared 3 rolls. The Candy Cane, the Alaska and the Lobster. All 3 were delicious with tasty sauces and beautiful presentation. My older son had teriyaki chicken and rice. He was very pleased and the bite I had of his was yummy. The service was extremely friendly and efficient. Our food was served quickly and we did not have to wait for our bill. We do not linger at dinner (4 year old) and I really appreciate when the service is on point as it was here. We will definetly be back! read more

Solid teriyaki and chicken katsu. Very affordable combo meals that can feed my whole family.

This has become my favorite sushi place to go to. My favorite has to be the Philadelphia and hot sun roll but the Alaska is great as well! Their sushi is always so fresh, tasty and the proportions inside the rolls I mean are perfect( I hate when places give me a tiny piece of avocado in my roll, not these guys). the restaurant is super clean and the two ladies that work there are so sweet! They remember me every time. Everything I've tried here has been delicious! Definitely a must try if you are in the Auburn area! read more

Deliciously inviting! The selection was extensive & the food was amazing. I tried the Mongolian Beef & asked for it spicy, I was not disappointed. The staff was friendly & welcoming as if I was part of the family. I got complimentary soup & was asked if I would like more once it was devoured. I was also able to substitute my rice for a salad without hassle. I will be back hungry for more. read more

The positive it was eatable. The sushi was cut in huge pieces full of rice to where I had to take one bite at a time on one piece. Felt a little sketchy eating the raw fish. There sushi bar and inside didn't feel very clean which gave me the feeling I could possibly get sick but I still ate it because i was really craving sushi the prices weren't anything out the ordinary just would rather have a delicious sushi roll for the same price as to feeling sketchy eating a roll from here . My husband got the spicy chicken and it was full of oil it was gross. The fried rice had no flavor what so ever just tasted like egg and buttery rice. She also over charged me when I ordered over the phone and came in to pay by about $10 read more

Really good. We love this place. It's our go-to when we don't feel like cooking during a busy work week. I, in particular, love their sushi rolls (anything with a crunch). They always hook us up because we gave them some of our kimchi on two occasions that we make at home. I'll just quickly deviate by saying, tip your doctor, mailman, delivery man, maid, etc. kindly. They will surely appreciate it I digress, This place is the bomb! read more

Kind of middle of no wear in the suburbs but worth the drive! Came here after visiting my brother in law in Kent and it said it was a 13 minute drive and had great reviews so thought let's go! It's kind of stand alone middle of the town but once you get in you see the restaurant is spacious! We went a night where a lightening storm was just starting so we actually were the only ones dining in but while we were there 5-6 people came in for pick up orders or orders to go. We ordered 4 different roles and also the spicey teriyaki and the kung poa chicken. Everything we tried was amazing. The baked rolls are not to disappoint! The service was genuine nd real. They offered us a stamp card but it is out of our way from home that we won't be regulars but if we are in town again for sure will stop by! read more

This is a really good spot for some Chinese food and sushi! The flavor was on point and the staff was friendly and quick with serving the food. Free refills as well. I got the volcano sushi which is baked so if you want that they have some other good baked sushi options as well. I got the general Tso chicken and Mongolian beef with side of rice for each. Only a dollar more for fried rice upgrade which is good by the way. Prices are very good as well as you see above fasho 5 stars. read more

The chef making sushi's behind the bar was not wearing a mask properly and very rude to customers.

Reasonable price and very friendly service. They have more than just one kind food, Chinese, Japanese and teriyaki. We have tried all of them, they are all good! I'll come back for sure! Highly recommend. read more

This place is exactly what every Teriyaki joint should attain to! Bright signage outfront, inviting exterior, and very well-lit inside. I found the menu easy-to-read, with some excellent options. Out front, there is plenty of parking available. I chose my usual Chicken Teriyaki, and my daughter ordered the Yakisoba. Both came out perfectly - just as expected. The service was excellent - even though they were fairly busy with the lunch-time crowd, they came by the table to top off our waters and make certain everything was up to our standards. We'll definitely be coming back here again soon! read more

When you first pull up it appears a bit deserted but when you come in clean and welcoming vibe. Staff is friendly and quick made sure we had enough time to look at the menu but not too long where we are looking for the waitress. The food was great. Fresh hot and fairly priced must try if your loca. They get a lot of over the phone orders too so it's not as slow as you would think. read more
