    Beef Yakisoba Noodles

    Food is insanely good customer service is amazing to everything tastes fresh and it's very affordable

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Michelle R.

    So I ordered takeout last month from this place for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised they were not your average teriyaki joint. The menu is extensive. Every item I ordered was on point.. So I decided then I was going to come back and eat in the restaurant. I'm so happy that I did. The sushi quality is good. The hand rolls were amazing in comparison to all the other top-tier sushi restaurants they're double the size 1st of all. The fried calamari was amazing and the sauce that they make in house is awesome. I love to mix wasabi with QP mayo as an extra sauce on the side, which I would advise everyone at least try. The tonKatsu Ramen off the hook. This is a must try spot definitely!

    California Roll & Spicy Ninja Roll
    Lauren S.

    A craving struck for sushi and I've been meaning to visit Happy Teriyaki since it's fairly close to me. Came here for a midday meal during the week and I was able to be seated right away. Comfortable, hole-in-the-wall type of atmosphere and really kind staff with quick service. Perfect lunch spot, if you ask me! You're started off with complimentary miso soup, which was delicious. Always nice to warm up with that on these cold days, too! I ordered a California Roll and the Spicy Ninja Roll. The California Roll was packed to the brim and super delicious. The Spicy Ninja Roll was the star of the show, though. It definitely has a kick and was STUFFED. It has spicy crab, torched salmon on top, and then drizzled with a spicy sauce. My mouth is literally watering thinking about it right now, so I might have to order some for lunch now... I noticed they also have pretty solid lunch deals too. The rolls I ordered were priced accordingly to the taste and quality. Can't wait to try more of the menu!

    Oh em gee, besides being a chicken wing connoisseur, I am also a chicken teriyaki connoisseur too. I looooove me a good teriyaki spot. I'm still working on my rotation with at least 3 spots, right now I have 2 and this one is included. Coming back to WA I was really looking forward to having access to teriyaki. I've been to many places and WA hands down is the spot for teriyaki. Happy Teriyaki is a def go to. I go back and forth between getting rolls and the bento. You can't go wrong here. The vibe of this place has an old school teriyaki feel. The food, from the sauces to the freshness of the fish is chef's kiss. Also, the BEST salad dressing from a teriyaki spot as of now. Don't sleep on it! They have it bottled, get yourself one before you leave. The consistency and taste elevates iceberg lettuce like no other! I love the crunch from the katsu and the portions are great. I need to veer off into the Chinese food menu because I hear that's also bomb. So that'll be my next thing I order when I go there again. The service is great as they check on you frequently. I know Fife is random and it's worth a detour off I-5 especially if you're stuck in the Fife traffic #iykyk

UPDATE: I received a response from someone who identified themselves as the owner/manager. This person took no accountability for the poor behavior of their staff. I was told (among other dissatisfied responses) that they spoke with the server. Not once did they ask where we were seated, so how could you know where we were seated, to know whom exactly of your staff to have that talk with? Very poor encounter from management, and I see why their employees are no different!!

    This location has gone through a few different management changes over the years, so to be clear,…read morethis review is specifically for the current and newest management. The biggest pro is the pricing. $3.99 for all plates is a great deal and makes it an affordable option for conveyor-belt sushi. Unfortunately, there are quite a few downsides. There is no AC, and the booth seating is apparently restricted to guests who are 21+, which significantly limits the more comfortable seating options. We were also told that guests cannot sit at the booth or the bar during the hour and a half before closing, which is an unusual restriction and further limits the available seating options. The biggest issue during our visit was finding a hair in one of our salmon nigiri. We told our waiter, and his response was essentially to tell us to leave it there. He eventually came back around and picked it up, but there was no apology and no offer to replace the item. Finding a hair in your food is already unpleasant, but the complete lack of concern or basic service recovery made it much worse. Service in general has also been consistently frustrating. Ginger isn't automatically provided, even when ordering sushi à la carte, so you have to specifically ask for it. Getting a water refill or making almost any request feels like pulling teeth. This hasn't been an isolated experience with one particular employee either. We've experienced the same lack of attentiveness across multiple members of the staff. The conveyor belt itself is also extremely squeaky at every corner, which becomes surprisingly distracting when you're sitting there trying to enjoy your meal. The $3.99 pricing is genuinely appealing, but inexpensive sushi doesn't excuse poor service or the way a food-quality issue was handled. The current management has a lot of room for improvement, particularly when it comes to attentiveness, hospitality, and how staff respond when something is wrong with a guest's food.

After finishing, my biggest takeaway was: how has this place managed to stay open for so long? Environment: The place is clean, and both the sushi counter and the freshness of the ingredients are evident to the eye. The chefs' uniforms are also very neat. Taste: Sorry, it's hard to put into words! I ordered the lunch combo. The server asked how I wanted my beef done, and I said medium rare would be fine. But the beef was really tough! The tempura was okay. My friend had the pork cutlet rice bowl--the cutlet wasn't crispy, and the sauce was poured directly on top instead of being served on the side as we requested. So neither of us finished our food and we left. Fun fact: Tempura, though it's deep-fried, actually has the second-lowest calorie count among all Japanese dishes. So what's the lowest? Sorry, I forgot. A long time ago, Japan was considered the end of the continent, so many things that made their way there were seen as reaching the ultimate destination. As a result, the Japanese would thoroughly study everything that came--whether it was swords, food, tea ceremony, etc.--which eventually gave rise to what we now call craftsmanship or the spirit of mastery.

From what I understand, this is a Ukrainian-owned grocery store, bakery and Cafe and many of the products they sell here are imported from Ukraine. There were lots of things that you don't typically see at a regular grocery store, and I was especially excited for the sweets and snacks. I got some french macarons and lemon squares in addition to the other bakery items and I even found some soda flavored popcorn. It was... Interesting. It's always fun to try something new! They also had a gorgeous flower selection and a nice seating area inside. If that wasn't enough, they even have private outdoor dining domes where visitors can sit and eat. (I snapped a photo of them on the side of the building as we were leaving.) So, when you do stop here to try out some of the delicious baked goods, you'll have a nice place to sit and enjoy the experience. This is definitely a spot worth checking out and supporting and if I lived closer I would visit often.
