Not as good as sushi places in Seattle, but still good. The staff was very friendly and the portions are pretty big for the price. Parking right in the front and this place wasn't super busy. Might be because we showed up 1 hour before closing for lunch. Overall, if you want a good sushi place in Tacoma, this is probably your best bet.

Full of flavor and loaded with vegetables. 10/10 easy. You get a generous serving for just over ten bucks and usually order a couple to go every time. As for the food, solid as well. Chicken is decent quality and has a good amount of char on it. The eggrolls are the usual basic and consistent brand along with the salad dressing too. The beverage cooler is a NO GO! All of the soda is expired and the can of soda I got was close to date but still good. The place itself could use some work. It appears that they clean but a deep clean has been ignored for a while. The tables have a look and feel to it that leaves us going ugh. The chairs got a sway and seem it's one ass away from buckling. Overall, you're not gonna stop me from the egg drop soup. Solid four stars and gonna get it everytime. Regardless.

However, my son really wanted to take us on a "date". I'm glad we agreed because the chef was funny and entertaining which kept the kids engaged. The food was priced accordingly for the portion we got. One meal can easily feed 2. My only feedback is that the soy sauce makes the food salty and one note. Great if you love teriyaki. Kids loved it of course. I appreciated the cook on my filet mignon and the chef obliged my request to skip adding the sauce on my salmon. My Mom had Mahi Mahi and I would order that next time. Each grill has 8 seats. Since we were a party of 5 and we came mid afternoon on a Saturday, we didn't have to share the space. I've tried the regular menu a long time ago and I can't recall if it was a good meal. Seems like there are a lot of recent reviews of the sushi being bad. Hopefully the owners will take the feedback into account because I really wanted to go back to try the sushi!

I very rarely leave bad reviews, but this time I have to warn people. It's awesome that they are open on Christmas Day, but the food wasn't even edible. Total waste of money. We got the general Taos and sesame chicken and ended up wasting the food. I'm sorry for giving you a bad review on Christmas, but I hope this helps you improve your business. The chicken was very very mushy and seemed like it was microwaved and the sauce was gross. read more

I hadn't been in this place for probably over a decade, but I found myself right next door the other day while taking my mom to the doctor. Dad was with us too and the doctor had sent us to the wrong address, so we decided the grab lunch instead of continuing our search. I noticed right off the bat that this place had gotten a serious glow-up since the last time I had visited, and it looks really good! Everything was new from the floor up. The menu is impressive with a large variety of choices from sushi to Japanese and Chinese cuisine. The staff are very friendly and accommodating but we were taken aback when our waitress was surprised to hear that some dishes like Mongolian beef or General Tao chicken are supposed to be spicy. She told us that they can add spicy to our dishes but that there is no scale of how hot you can order. Dad had the vegetable stir-fry, and it came with beef, pork and shrimp! Mom had Mongolian beef spicy and I ordered the lunch special of General Tao chicken. The dishes for mom and I both came with rice and salad and everything tasted very good. Normally, when I order General Tao' chicken, I get soggy nuggets of chicken however, this place does it right. A nice crispy batter that holds together after being tossed in the sauce. I feel like they could add a bit more dressing to their salads but overall, we were all happy with our meals and we all agreed that we'd like to return again to try other offerings from the menu. The restaurant overall is clean and comfortable with a great, relaxing ambiance. This place is proving to be a hidden gem to folks like us who wrote them off back in the day. We're glad we went back. Thanks for reading. Cheers!

Now, I'm going to start enjoying the sushi rolls here, too. Our waitress was so helpful with suggestions, as she always is. They were some of the best rolls I've had and they were definately the best rolls my grandson has had. He couldn't say enough positive things and I tried the rolls he ordered too and feel the same way. Well done, Happy Terriyaki on 100th street in Tacoma/Lakewood. I plan on visiting again soon.
