If you're looking for the best teriyaki this is the place. The vibe of the restaurant is relaxing and they have a koi pond in the middle which is kind of fun. The service here has always been great. Everyone is friendly and attentive and the food comes out fast. We love the teriyaki chicken with the spicy tonkatsu chicken combo, we do no veggies and all rice. It is seriously the best teriyaki I've ever had. The teriyaki sauce is made in house and the spicy tonkatsu is crispy and the sauce is delicious. It has just the right amount of heat. We love this place so much it's been our go to for teriyaki. Great service, great food. read more

Best teriyaki in Puyallup. I love the teriyaki sauce and always order extra sauce. I go to order is the chicken teriyaki. The service is super quick. Had a good experience, both dining in and ordering takeout. Even when it's busy dinner time. The restaurant is pretty cute inside, and feels very cozy. read more

Not many places do yakiudon but when they do, I definitely rate them. Tried the vegetable one today, it was yummy!! Also ordered a side of white rice and asked the gentleman for a side of hot sauce and teriyaki sauce to purchase, he gave me two huge sides of each for free. Did I mention that the restaurant is very clean and a lot of seating? Will be back!! read more

First of all, the restaurant itself is decorated very well. It doesn't feel like you're in a strip mall store. My only con is that the heater wasn't making itself known very well and every time someone opened the front or back door, this horribly cold draft inundated the place. The staff is running around in their short sleeves, probably because they're busy and get hot, but the rest of us ate with our coats and jackets on. The big party sitting at the back of the restaurant seemed to be largely forgotten because they kept getting up and coming to the front to get their needs met and some of their frustrations were wrong orders. Then the waitress came and took our orders without writing them down and repeated them back to us incorrectly, so that got me a bit nervous, but our orders ended up being correct in the end. She seemed to know a lot of people coming in, which tells me they have many regulars. Food wise, the plates that we saw come and go were huge, so we expected the same...however we got smaller plates. Despite the size of the plate, you get a lot of food, so I can't really complain. I got a lot of tempura (one, single, sad shrimp though lol) for my combo. I feel like the ratio of rice to meat for my plate was really off. My husband's ration made more sense, so I guess that's why there was so much tempura? Either way, the flavors and quality were good, and I even enjoyed the steamed cabbage, which I never care for. My wonton soup was okay - it seemed to be a mix between wonton and egg drop, and my husband liked it better than his miso, so we swapped. There weren't many pieces of tofu in the latter, which was a bit of a downer, but it had good flavor. We got some English hot tea as well, which was good. Overall, we were able to have all of this food for under $70, which, in this economy, is amazing, so I'm stuck between 3.5 and 4 stats. I'd still recommend, though. read more

Great food and flavor, we have been coming here for 30+ years. We always get the Yakisoba noodles (but flavor recently changed not as good) and the katsu chicken, and teriyaki chicken. They started sprinkling sesame seeds on top of each dish, please don't. read more

Ambience is great. Love the koi pond. I waited a bit long for the order. Asked for a modification which they mistakenly didn't accommodate. Portions are good. read more

Happy Teriyaki 11 - koi inside restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

she was very generous with well costumer service , i would also like to add how wonderful this place looks and the food was rlly good.

4.5 stars. LOVE their food, the staff and the owners. Might have the best tofu teriyaki in the greater Seattle area! Orders take a while (understaffed? fresh, great foods just take longer?). I'll bump to 5 stars when they allow me to order (and, gladly, prepay) so I can cut my wait and have enough time to actually eat in on my lunch break. Too many Puyallup businesses have a terribly frustrating, terrible anti-customer-service policy of not allowing one to preorder and dine-in to avoid long waits. This is stupid. It's also costly. Feeding customers on site means no to-go packaging, less labor packing food up and less food container and utensil waste. SMH. Great food and pleasant service here, though! read more

The restaurant was really clean and there was a cool koi pond in the middle of the restaurant. The server was really nice and the food came out quickly. Went there for dinner and they stayed pretty busy with diners and takeout orders. The food was good and I'd definitely go back. read more

One of our favorite local spots for teriyaki. The portions are good enough for 2 people to share. The staff and owner are very nice. The spicy chicken teriyaki is our favorite dish. read more

Happy Teriyaki 11 - Japanese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

I've been eating here for 10+ years now and the food has stayed good. I would say this is my favorite teriyaki place just because I usually don't eat at teriyaki places. I also just get one thing from here. I usually get the spicy tonkatsu. They do only use chicken and not pork even though it's labeled TONkatsu, just a fair warning. The sauce they use is super flavorful and just very mildly spicy. It's nothing like the Chinese mala spicy or Indian spicy. It's just enough for a slight kick and tons of flavor. They also marinate chicken for it really well and it ends up moist and tender. I seriously only eat here for that specific dish. The portions are also very big. You can turn it into 2 decent sized meals or 3 normal portions. The price for it is also very affordable. I also do enjoy their fried rice when I'm feeling non Chinese fried rice. Their shrimp fried rice is my go to when I do crave it. Overall I think this is a solid choice for food and the service has always been nice. Staff are pleasant and helpful. The ambience is nice and quiet with a koi pond. I prefer my restaurants to be quiet and peaceful. read more

Happy Teriyaki 11 - Spicy Tonkatsu (chicken) - Japanese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

This teriyaki spot has always been on my bookmarks, but I never really got a chance to go as my boyfriend, and I usually eat out late at night. However, since we live really close by and we're craving some good teriyaki, we decided to finally visit! I saw that the reviews were really high and loved that they had a koi pond inside that you can sit next to. The inside looked cozy and clean, the lighting was the perfect brightness for nice foodie pictures, and just overall a pleasant ambiance for a teriyaki joint. Speaking of, they had a good amount of dine in, to-go, and delivery orders throughout our visit. The kitchen staff were hard at work as you could hear the rhythm of kitchen utensils being used to cook up orders in a timely manner. Our waiter seemed like the only one running the front of the house with a waitress who was a cashier while also occasionally going around to drop off food or refilling water. You can seat yourself while you wait for someone to drop off a menu. We ended up ordering the shrimp basket and donburi. Our food arrived freshly cooked and tasted good! The portions were very generous and easily gave us leftovers. I also inquired if they still do the free frozen yogurt offer on Yelp and they do! That was also a pretty big serving despite being a small. But it was super refreshing after lunch. The service was great from both our servers! This is definitely going to be our teriyaki spot as we loved our visit here and can see why they have a great business (their story is on their website and menu)! read more

So delicious & reasonably priced. The service staff were super friendly and kind. She told us about a promotion they were running to get free frozen yogurt. The inside of the restaurant is clean and inviting. There is a lot of seating available. Teriyaki in the Seattle area is tough to beat. I highly recommend! Delish :) read more

Surprised month service and the amount of food for the price. We will definitely be back.

Once a week stop for me. Food is great. Owner and staff are always busy which is great to see. Definitely where you want to go for good teriyaki. read more

There was a woman in the restaurant the other day that said that the beef entree that she had ordered tasted really bad. She brought it to the attention of the staff, and the staff woman got very mad, and assaulted the woman and denied that her food was bad. Do not eat at this place or give them the time of day...or your money. read more

I've been here before but not the same good food. The girl that took my order was rude. 6/30/25. 12 pm. When I got my chicken and beef teriyaki "to go" there was hardly any teriyaki sauce. I think she Saratoga my order. Not good. I won't be back read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - Tonkatsu was juicy and tender. Not too heavy of a fry, which I appreciate, but still has the crispy/crunchy exterior. Simple dish but absolutely delicious and such a generous serving!! Yakisoba with beef reminded us of Chinese chow mien as the noodles were more soft in texture. The sauce they provided on the side added a lot of flavor with some soy sauce and sweet/tangy flavor Frozen yogurt is surprisingly good! It's a bit tart but very refreshing. Very generous with the serving size Ambience: N/A - ordered food to go. Simple but classy feel with fish tank at the entrance and a little fish pond in the middle Service: 5/5 - super friendly lady who greeted some customers by name. She was running the place by herself for a while but was still friendly and paid attention to each customer as much as she could. At one point while she was talking on the phone, the phone rang again while she was ringing out a customer and another asking for containers to go. But she was still friendly and just asked for a moment while she attended to each Value for price: 5/5 - highly recommend! Service was amazing, food was wonderful, and the price reasonable. The atmosphere was great and you can tell it's a favorite as the restaurant was busy constantly even at 4 PM read more

Great food and reasonable prices. The service is a little slow, so don't go if you're in a hurry. They have always served very good food with a nice clean environment. read more

My chicken was so dry I could hardly chew it. It was as tough as jerky. The waitress was in such a hurry, even though it wasn't busy, that she didn't even take the time to hear what I ordered. Who wants overcooked chicken?? The only thing I was offered was a snarky "sorry about that" from the waitress. There are so many other teriyaki restaurants around that I'm sure would love to have our business instead. read more

Teriyaki chicken, chicken katsu, all of it was delicious. The portions are big, we shared three plates between two adults and three kids, it was a good amount of food. Service was good, and my kids loved the little coy pond. read more

Haven't been here in many many years. Nice to see they are still doing good food and business. There weren't any lunch specials on menu. We each ordered the teriyaki chicken ( me spicy) . Service was friendly and prompt. Plates came out within 10-15 mins. Chicken portions were nice size which justifies the higher $14.50-15.50 prices. Wish there was option for salad or more rice in place of the generic steamed cabbage but the rice was nice and moist and we both really enjoyed the chicken and sauces. We'd go back if in the area. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Portions are very generous! Wife doesn't do gluten and their GF teriyaki chicken was great and only $1 more.

This is my favorite place to come for Teriyaki. I have been coming to this place since I was young teenager with my parents. Now I continue to come with my husband and children. The atmosphere and workers are always friendly. The flavor of the food tastes magnificent. I love the flavor of the chicken, cabbage and carrots. read more

great food, my server was super nice and sweet helped with anything we needed. loved the fried ice cream! And ambience was good as well

The thick cuts of meat that are the usual for a good teriyaki shop have been replaced by nearly-minced low-quality meat. Beef and chicken teriyaki dishes had a faint taste of soap. The katsu chicken without the sauce is so devoid of flavor that it leaves a vacuum of tastelessness in your mouth. I wish I was kidding. They did do a good job warming up the eggrolls at least. read more

The quality has been going down - especially for carry outs. I noticed that when you dine in - they serve the fresh Teriyaki or Katsu dishes that are made that day. But when you do carry out they simply reheat or refry day old chicken dishes. The teriyaki chicken that I had earlier this week for lunch was so tough and charred (probably grilled it twice) that it hurt my jaw from chewing the dried up, tough meat. I hope that establishment turns this around and pays more attention to carry out orders because when they are good, they are good. read more

My family and I have been coming to Happy Teriyaki 11 for years. Some of our family has moved away and anytime they visit, Happy Teriyaki is the first place we go. The food is fantastic. I highly recommend the family platters. We have a family of 5-6 and we always end up taking food home. It is also super convenient to order a family platter for pick up. The presentation is great for any setting such as family or work event. The staff there is equally amazing. A recent addition, Rob, is always friendly and helpful if we have questions or want to mix up our regular order. Photos to follow! You know it's good when you forget to take a photo before you eat it all! But now I have a good excuse to stop in read more

I enjoyed the sauce flavor as the chicken but I was left wanting more. I think the bland cabbage and carrots could be substituted for salad or additional rice. I love Chicken Teriyaki, it's my favorite meal - this place will be a place I go to in a punch. read more

Ordered Spicy Chicken to go. One meal. Got my receipt at 1:27pm. Didn't receive my meal "To Go" until literally 2:07pm, 40 minutes later. No apology, no communication the entire time I sat and patiently waited. The order was very simple. It was busy inside however there were plenty of people in the back cooking and up front working. Service was not acceptable I will not come back here again. First and last visit here. I wouldn't recommend. Customer service goes a long way. There was no solution or apology. That's a big deal. read more

When we moved to Puyallup we tried out all of the teriyaki places around town. I can say in full confidence that this spot is the best one. Our usual order is the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki, which is very flavorful and definitely on the spicy side. The side of cabbage and carrots complement this dish well. We love to order a simple vegetable stir fry with shrimp- love the zucchini and mushrooms! And you can't come to this place and not order a Shirley Temple. Their Shirley Temples are iconic. read more
