I get the Vegetable Yakisoba. It is delicious. That is all. ....the lady that takes your order and cooks it is very friendly too, and the food is always hot, and fresh, and the service is fast. I feel like I should clarify that this review is for Lucky Teriyaki (by Lazy J's Tavern) NOT for the teriyaki place by Sally Beauty. read more

Lucky Teriyaki - Vegetable Yakisoba and Chicken Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Spanaway, Washington

First off...All you nay saying, one-star grading, can't-read-a-map knuckleheads! YOU HAVE THE WRONG PLACE...This quaint little hole-in-the-way joint is separate from, yet shares a wall with a small bar in the neighborhood that borders Spanaway Lake Golf Course...not the vacant strip mall south down Pac Ave. If you're going to take the time to berate and trash a business' reputation, get the right place! So, R J, J S, Teeeena B, Debbra with two Bs, and Christina P, and the rest of you...redact your reviews! The sweet lady that runs Lucky Teriyaki serves great tasting, large portions of down home Asian goodness. She takes the orders, cooks the food, AND runs it out to her customers in their cars in the parking lot during rush hour at lunch. Not only that, she may even sing "Thank Yoooouuuu..." when you pick up a take out order. So, I'm done trashing you drooling Yelp Trolls. Clean it up! Your powerful little opinions (as grammatically poor as your reviews are) affect the standards of living and daily efforts that hard working people put forth every day. So, I like this place. It's simple. It's good. It's fast. It's affordable. The food is great. I default to the standard chicken teriyaki a couple times every month. I'm local. I eat here. read more

CLOSED DOWN! I don't know why, but it's all boarded up. Too bad, I was going to order from there tonight. Guess I'll have to find a new teriyaki place. read more

Worst shrimp fried rice ever! I've eaten here before, but after tonight, I'm done. This dish smelled SO bad, the shrimp was scarce and burned, and the OIL...wow!! So much oil! That's probably what happened-reused OVERUSED, RANCID cooking oil and spoiled the whole dish! I wrapped it back up in bag and threw it away. My kitchen/dining room reeks of its stench. Although their wonton soup is super tasty, I don't think we'll be going back anytime soon. read more

Lucky Teriyaki - Shrimp fried rice...bad!! - Japanese Near Me - Spanaway, Washington

Pretty much a diamond in the rough! Looks like nothing when you pull up, tastes like dream. I don't understand how anyone can say something negative about this place. I've had Asian cuisine all around the country, this lady's establishment is at the top of my list. Don't go changin' Lucky Teriyaki. read more

I came in on a Sunday and found out they were closed. I have no trouble with that, but I did notice that the picture that is listed here is not cohesive with today's prices. Everything is between $2.00 and $3.00 more now. That is a form of deceptive advertising. Thus, the only two stars... read more

I haven't even tasted the food yet and I can tell you I won't be back. The sign in the window says open till 9:00 pm...I walked thru the door at 8:30, and she told me they were closing and we could not eat there. After pointing out that they were still 'open', she allowed us to order and sit. At 45 min in, we finally got our food....and it was cold. By this time, I just wanted to eat and leave. Although the food was good, I don't do well with businesses that have sub-standard service....so that was the extent of money they will get from me. read more

I really like this place a lot, it's kind of in a small littler portion of the building by Sally's Beauty supply and can be easily missed in passing. It kind of makes me laugh because it says "TERIYAKI" on the sign but on the door is says Chinese. :) Anyways, for the most important thing....the FOOD! The portion sizes are not too bad. Personally, my favorite thing to order is the spicy teriyaki. It's yummy yummy. I normally take it to go, I never eat in. The salads and the dressing is also sooo good! It always tastes fresh...personally I'm a big fan! Thumbs up from me! read more

I stopped in this evening. I've been moving, so I was hungry. I was finishing a phone call, so I walked in and looked at their menu board. An older lady peeked her head out from behind the curtain and then disappeared again as I finished my call and stepped up to the counter. I waited five minutes for her to return. I tried to place my order - "Hello. I'd like one order of beef teriyaki and ..." she stopped me. She sighed and then, "Ooh. No. No. Not tonight. No order tonight." At that, she walked away behind her curtain. The OPEN sign was lit. It was 7pm. If she didn't feel like working, she should shut off the sign and lock the doors. read more

A local teriyaki spot that gets it right! Lots of parking, as it is in a strip mall area, It shares a door with the Bulls eye Bar. The Chicken Donburi was really good, as was the Spicy Chicken (which is basically Donburi with hot and spicy sauce). The spicy chicken teriyaki was really good, and really spicy, no unnecessary vegetables or anything. They also had some Chinese items on the menu (Sweet and sour pork, fried rice, General TSO's chicken), but I have not tried those items. A great place to go for a quick teriyaki bite. read more

The NASTIEST Food i've purchased from a 'Teriyaki Joint' in a while. I ordered through Door Dash. My Food was Picked-Up and Delivered Promptly. HOWEVER, the food quality was VERY poor. My 'Won Ton Soup' was mostly soggy cabbage, Water, and MSG. The Fried Rice I ordered was RANCID. It smelled like it had been left out for a couple days, or the Rice that was used was not refrigerated. The Mongolian Beef was discolored, and very tough in texture. The only semi edible item was the Pot Stickers. I remember back early 2000's, this place had some of the best 'Chinese Food' you could find in the area. Not anymore. read more

I've had food here in the past, and it was "okay." The last time I went in the owner seemed to make it as hard as she could for me to make an order for the food I wanted. She basically just repeatedly said, "no." So, I said "goodbye" and left. I'll never go back. read more

This place is disgusting, very dirty and the floors are sticky! Went here to pick up my one chicken teriyaki and beef yakisoba and was given a chicken yakisoba combo. I politely told the lady that's not what I ordered and she told me "no this is what you ordered" and walked away. Don't waste your time here! read more

Always drive past this place and have never stopped. Well today I did and have to say I should have gone somewhere else. First thing I noticed was the floor is sticky, so was the table and the bar facing the road. The food was typical teriyaki, nothing to rave about. I asked for water and after a few sips I noticed something floating in my water, asked for a new cup and showed the lady something was floating in it. She got all huffy with my for asking for a new cup, never did talk to me after that, even when I left told her have a nice day and she just glared at me. Not coming here again, will go to one of the other places around here that serves teriyaki. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and Went in to this hole in the wall to order 2 meals for take out. Got home and both orders were wrong and very small portions. Called them and they tried to say we got what we paid for. Very rude lady that all she had to do is make our order right! Will NEVER return here!! Sad for them considering we get teriyaki twice a week. read more

I did takeout here, I am not completely sure what I thought we were ordering but it was not edible food. We ordered beef teriyaki and the meat was grey and so chewy so we quickly set that aside and opened up the chicken fried rice, again the meat was a strange color and clearly not seasoned. Basically it was boiled meat piled on top of white rice with a bit of soy in it. The Singapore noodles that I was looking forward to were still hard and so salty (the curry was overpowering) that it too was set aside. The pot stickers have such a small amount of filling in them they are basically fried wrappers. I urge you to find a different place to eat. It just wasn't worth it. read more

Walked into this place today during lunch time, despite the bad reviews. There was no one at the counter and the smell inside was awful so I just left. Will never go in this place again. read more

Love the food, plus there's a lot of it. I've gone in the evenings & the woman that works there by herself is awesome! Friendly & fast. Foods cooked as you wait. Been a couple years since I've been in because we've moved but drove by the other day & told my husband we have to go in soon. Hopefully they still have the same gal. :) read more

This small hole in the wall, actually shares a wall with a bar, is a secret find. The teriyaki is fantastic. The owner and her daughter are so nice, the food is cheap, quick and good. The "salad" has far too much cabbage for my taste...same with the veggie stir fry but hell, I guess some people dig cabbage. Go there when you are hungry on the fly. read more

Foods great, all home cooked nothing remade or reheated, tastes great and the lady is a riot! And really cheap

Super place. Food is good, (typical teriyaki) prices are better than most and the lady behind the counter is always so kind and welcoming.

If it were possible to give a 0 rating I would submit it in a heartbeat. After seeing a previous rating on this business refusing to prepare an order, we also had arrived at 7pm and the open sign was lit. I decided oh, hell no, this business owner needs to know this type of action is unacceptable. We had been to this business before and my daughter told me she was rude and claimed she couldn't understand what my daughter was requesting, although she pointed at the pictures of the meal on the wall. So I went inside and told her what we wanted and I had no problem. My daughter went in last night and she refused to prepare our order. This business owner needs to retire since she doesn't have a clue about customer service and only cooks when she feels like it, or when she is in the mood. Don't waste your time or gas, please go somewhere else where your business will be appreciated. read more

Excellent & fast service! Delicious food! Affordable prices! One of my families favorite places to go. They even cater to take out & it is "the bomb"! One thing we will miss when we leave Washington! Yumm! read more

Lovely hole-in-the-wall teriyaki place. The spice profile of the sauces and dishes are special - clearly homemade and not canned. Wow is the flavor amazing! I do wish tofu was on the menu as a protein option. read more

Awesome cook, food, and price! I definitely reccomend this place for everyday takeouts. We usually always get the spicy chicken and katsu meal. It's decious! read more

One of my favorate teriyaki resterants in the 253. Same lady been there 4 years. serving good portions at a reasonable price

Great service and lady gave us extra salad rice and sauce. Considering small and few tables, it was blizzard cold where their pipe froze and took longer than usual but happy to have. Thanks read more

Tonight was my first visit here. I'll definetly return. Fast, very friendly service. Food was priced great and tasted great. If you was good Japanese food, this place has it. I'll be back for sure! read more

We found this little hole in the wall place thru Yelp and have to agree with the good ratings. The service was great. The food was VERY plentiful and delicious! My husband and I shared the meal and there was more than enough. We will be back! read more

Kind of an odd location, but the spicy chicken was really good. Friendly service, good prices, good food.

We've been looking for a local teriyaki spot to go to so we decided to try Lucky Teriyaki. To start with I was greeted by a very rushed impatient lady at the register. I proceeded to order our food. When asked if we would like to eat there or take the food to go, I responded that we would like to eat there. The lady stated that our food would take longer to get to us if we decided to eat there. There was only one other table that had patrons at the time. So, we decided to sit and wait. While waiting we noticed that everything, I mean everything, from chairs to tables, window sills, flowers, etc., had a thick sticky residue on it. It was quite disgusting. I carry wipes with me and tried to remove some of the residue from our table. I ended up with a pile of blackened wipes. EW. Also, while we were waiting the restaurant filled with smoke from the kitchen. It became a little hard to breathe. Our meal took about 20 minutes to get to us. Which is not that bad, so I'm not sure why I was told it would take a long time. I ordered the teriyaki chicken. Not horrible, but I've had better. My kids ordered the yakisoba. They were unable to eat it because it was saturated with a very sweet sauce. The lady never did come back to the table to make sure everything was ok. So, we definitely will not be coming back. read more
