Pros: Portions were good and food was ready in under 10 minutes. You get a lot of meat and rice was perfectly cooked as well. Salad was fresh and sauce was nostalgic. Both the chicken and beef had good teriyaki flavor. Note - Little sauce on top but if you mix, you'll notice a lot more sauce on bottom. I prefer the beef over chicken only because beef absorbs the teriyaki flavor better making it a lot stronger in taste however, this also means some might find it too overwhelming and prefer chicken which is still fine and a safe bet. Beef would rate 4/5. Chicken would rate 3/5. Cons: Chicken had dried hard edges, many hidden under the top layer and drenched with sauce. Possibly from sitting for longer than desired before being reheated. read more

Came in for dinner with a co worker. Service here is really good. I opted for the teriyaki beef while my co worker got the teriyaki chicken. Both plates had nice portions so I didn't mind the prices so much once I got my plate. The beef was very tender. It was a bit sweeter than I was expecting. For a somewhat fast food sit down option this place is pretty good. read more

The best teriyaki place in the area. I would say our favorite go-to teriyaki place after work. The restaurant itself is clean, courteous owner, service is fast and they give you generous amount of food, the chicken is consistently tender and right level of spice and reasonably fair price too. read more

poor customer service and when I asked for hot sauce she just pointed at the 25-cent sign. I don't know how people expect to stay in business treating there customers so rude and the food is mediocre at best. the worst teriyaki place in Renton!! this place should be called butt hurt and sad at the bay!! read more

I've tried a lot of Teriyaki places and I'd say this one is one of the best in the area. Can't say too much cause Teriyaki is Teriyaki ya know. Just check it out and see....it's good stuff. Forgot to take photos....I was in and out fast. read more

Their spicy chicken was pretty good! The sauce isn't the glaze that some other places use, which threw me off but was good nonetheless. Not very spicy though. I'd go back again. read more

Solid Teriyaki worth the stop. I randomly found this place tucked in the middle between Planet Fitness and Jersey Mike's. They have great options across the board. Look for their lunch specials. Typically a chicken dish, salad, gyoza or egg roll, and a drink for ~$12. Great value for lunch stop. I've been in 4 times and never waited more than 15 for food and it was busy. Average wait 8 minutes. Be aware their magnetic strip reader is broken. You'll need a credit card with a chip or cash. Plenty of seating, friendly staff, and a great product. Definitely worth a stop. read more

They treat their customers unfair. Someone in front of me that got to order was able to dine in but when it came to my turn to order, I was forced to only eat take out. It was a cold day too and nowhere to eat so I had to eat on the sidewalk. read more

I absolutely love this place! The staff is so sweet and nice. My coworker has been getting the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki here all the time, and I eventually joined him and was shocked! The sauce that they make for the spicy chicken is amazing. I would highly recommend getting anything made spicy. read more

NO STARS Teriyaki BowlRUDE, RUDE, RUDE & food NOT GOOD!!!! We paid over $35 and asked for a small to go container for sauce. The girl at the counter was VERY RUDE & said they charge .25 cents. When we gave her .25 she was very rude, animated & quite annoyed at our request. The food wasn't great. I ordered tofu yakisoba & the tofu tasted old & not good. I left it on the plate. We will not return here ever!!!! read more

I've been coming here about fifteen years. Have ordered the same exact thing for the last ten. Special with white meat. They charge me extra, I bring friends in with me, everyone is happy. It got to a point where I just had to walk in and they would know my order. I currently hold the rank as Duke here, I believe. That's how often I go. Today was my last day. The food quality seemed to take a hit this year. About a month ago, they may have gotten new owners, but the service got worse. I had to argue my way to the order I wanted. It worked a couple times, special plus an extra charge. Today the lady at the counter refused. I asked what changed since I've ordered the same thing for ten years without issue. "Maybe that is how it was ten years ago. No." I'm all about service, and there are a dozen teriyaki places around. Time to find a new favorite. read more

The food is ok. Depending on what you order. Our issue is not with the food. It's with the customer service, the lady taking the orders is just rude. We came in around 6:30 in the evening, ordered our food and when she asked if it was to go or eat in, I asked her to wait a sec, and let me ask my wife, my wife was right next to me. Then the lady asked again and was trying to get me to say , to go. I told her to hang on, my wife didn't answer yet, she can plainly see since we are right in front of her. My wife then said. We will eat there. The lady then says that they close the dining room at 7:45. She said it in a mean manner like as if we were going to stay there and hangout until they close. Another time she told this couple with a family, that the dining room was closed about 45 minutes prior to their 8pm closing time. So this family went to eat at somewhere else. I mean if they want to go home early, change your closing time. She is only nice if you say to go. Dine in seems to make her upset that she has clean up or something. read more

Good restaurant, I stopped in here after a workout at the gym. I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the beef and chicken combo to go. The wait was not long at all and the restaurant wasn't packed to which worked in my favor. The staff was pleasant just gave the appearance of nickel and dime-ing after charging me an additional $0.25 for some hot sauce. The food was delicious, to the point where I could overlook the nickel and dime-ing. I would recommend this place to my friends. read more

I used to love coming here ... However, they recently changed management and it has gone down hill since. Their menu very clearly states that all combos plates #10 - #19 come with rice and salad. However, when I ordered two #15's tonight, I was charged extra for two salads when clearly it states they are to be included. I asked why I was being charged for the salads and the lady at the register said "the new manager changed their mind and they no longer come with a salad." Even though their new menu says so. This is false advertising!! The new management either needs to update their newly put up menu or actually honor what it says. False advertising is illegal and I should not be charged for something which is clearly stated as being included. read more

My boyfriend and I eat here very frequently and unfortunately after todays visit, we will not come again. There is normally a very sweet lady working and today there was not. We ordered $40 worth of food. We also ordered a side salad and asked for "a few" extra dressings. When we got our food the woman put one extra dressing and I told her we wanted more and she refused. Said we only paid for one. I told her we asked for more than one and she looked at me in the face and said have a nice day! Money hungry people are not the type of people we want to give our business to. We were willing to pay for it but we didn't have cash and only had a card and it seemed pointless to spend $1.00 on a credit car for extra dressing that we had asked for. read more

I feel like the food is like any average teriyaki place; it doesn't completely stand out to me. But the food is still good. It never disappointed me.

IF YOU WANT SOME GOOD BASIC JAPANESE FOOD COME HERE!!! I've yet to find another teriyaki place as good as this. The chicken and shrimp fried rice is the best!! Don't forget to add the chili garlic sauce! Veggie fried rice is good too. Teriyaki is amazing! BEST EGG ROLLS!! Bonus- I was sick so very sick and I need something warm and hot and spicy. I went here, ordered the chicken ramen bowl, added a bunch of chili garlic sauce and sat there and ate my soup while my sinuses cleared. They are legit! read more

Good portions tasty chicken teriyaki not overcooked still moist and flavorful. White rice mounds remind me of sticky rice If you've ever had that? It's good! Salad dressing us delicious and thick and I could use a bigger tub of it to saturate every last little piece of lettuce in that goodness! I tried Happy at the bay because of it's good reviews! And I too am satisfied! Because u never REALLY know a good teriyaki place from a bad one just by looking at the building... Thanks 4 the hook-up y'all :) read more

Ever since they switched owners I've only been here twice, last week was my second time here. I ordered a beef teriyaki with sauce on the rice, what I got was no sauce, not even on the beef teriyaki. It was for take out so of course I didn't open it up at the counter to check it out. The beef seemed like it was a day old or more and reheated in the microwave, it was so dry and had a weird hue to it. After I ate a few bites of this, I threw it away and later that night I got food poisoning. Never coming back here again. Tokyo Town in Kent tastes better, I won't mind taking a little bit of a longer drive to get better service + better food. read more

All around fantastic. The guy that took our order was super nice and patient with my husband and I. (Especially when we had absolutely no idea what to get.) There appeared to be almost exclusively regulars, where the cashier would tell the kitchen the order before the people even entered the building! It was our first Teriyaki place. EVER. And since we found ourselves in the Pacific Northwest, and unknowingly in the Great Land of Teriyaki, it was a fantastic first experience. We had two combos. I had the Pork Teriyaki with the Egg Rolls and my husband had the Chicken Teriyaki with Chicken Katsu. We like to go splitsies on everything so that instead of trying two things, we can try four. The sauce was great on both of the Teriyaki items, the pork and the chicken both had a great char to it, the little salad was a nice treat - and the homemade dressing was delicious. The Egg Rolls were cabbage-y, which I actually like, but the Chicken Katsu breading was underseasoned. The delicious Katsu sauce made up for it (Worchestershire + Ketchup?). We'll definitely be back, as in within the next few days... read more

I was looking for a quick stop off my route of 405S after work to get teriyaki to go. Yelp to the rescue (queue trumpets). This place has great reviews, some pictures of the menu (thank you yelper!) and I feel like I have definitely found the right place and will use them again in the future on these friday-teriyaki-emergencies during rush hour traffic. I was honestly delighted at the level of cleanliness and brightness (let's be honest, some of your favorite teriyaki joints have been a little dingy, had a serious fly problem in the summer, and may not pass a health code inspection with flying colors). Also, the friendliness of the man and women behind the counter was very welcome! I came (flying I'm sure) through the door and said I'd like to order some food to go but wasn't sure what yet! (The menu photos were a couple years old, things change and with possible language barriers/bad phone connections I figured it was just best to order in person the first time.) he handed me a menu and said no problem, take your time! Of course it didn't actually take me long! I wanted 2 chicken teriyaki's (one regular one chicken breast) and I had spied the California and spicy tuna rolls on the yelp photos! They still have them!!! I'm excite even as I write this!!! Two of my favorite things (teriyaki and sushi rolls) in one place!!! I ordered, total was a few cents under $30, I feel very reasonable! Well I'll have to finish this review later with an update of the foods because it's ready I'm on my way!! read more

Called in a Chicken teriyaki for lunch to save time and pick up but got there and saw they had a chicken teriyaki with egg roll and drink special for only $0.50 more. I asked if I can get that instead. Cashier said "no." I asked why and she said because proportion is less. She later said to wait 10 more minutes then which I said ok. She asked for my card and said would void the old order but asked to add $2 more on that order. Not wanting to be charged 2x I asked for the new receipt before giving my card and to see that the old order would be voided. I walked out without the food and did not provide my card. She ran after me after already leaving their property asking me for my card. Why would I give my card if I didn't leave with any food and she'd originally refused my change of order and void to the first order? I don't mind paying before getting my new order change but they couldn't show me they'd void the 1st order nor provide me with a new receipt with the new total. read more

It's hard to believe that Korean people can make Japanese food this good. I love, love, love their yakisoba. They always cook it up fresh so the veggies are crispy. I always get the shrimp and they're done just right. The people here are so nice. They bring the food to you and it always comes out pretty quick. A couple things though: The gyoza is definitely overpriced. I'm pretty sure the price was $4 for 9 pieces. You can buy a bag with 45 pieces for that price. Also, the eggrolls are no good. I do not recommend those. read more

They have really good teriyaki , the peoples working there nice and friendly .i enjoy my food when I Oder . Thanks

Deffinatly one of my go to lunch spots in Kent. They serve the best spicy chicken teriyaki, as well as the egg rolls and gyozas. Everything comes out fast and hot within 10 minutes. The place is always clean I've never had a bad meal from this place. Defiantly would recommend read more

Worst service ever. Don't go. Ordered beef fried rice. Barely any beef in it. I asked to get extra beef on the side after and she was rude and mean about getting some. And didn't give me any. Also asked for side of chicken as well. And nope. She didn't. All I was eating was rice with peas. Worse experience teriyaki ever. read more

If I could give this place a 0/5 I would. Terrible customer service and is extremely rude. Don't support terrible business.

We have been looking for a new teriyaki restaurant, since the owner of our favorite place changed owners. The place is very clean, great service. But most of all excellent food, chicken and beef is not precooked or dry. And the teriyaki sauce is not salty or very sweet. Have tried most things on menu all are above average which is hard to find. read more

I will give this place another chance because of the good reviews, but I would NOT recommend the beef ramen. The noodles looked like packaged Top Ramen noodles (and tasted about as good), the beef tasted almost exactly like gas station beef jerkey, and the broth was too salty and pretty bland. The veggies were lacking and didn't seem very fresh either, so I would avoid this dish and any other ramen they have. The staff was nice though, the service was prompt, and tables were cleared and cleaned almost immediately after patrons left. read more

Food taste terrible and no flavor!It was so burn. The owner treat their customers not nice also. I remembered she didn't ask me for punch card but did ask old man.Maybe we are not her royal customers. We came when did not have any customers after we sit for awhile , there were more coming. I think she should treat us better because we did brought her few more customers when they saw us eating. ( cause usually ppl not enter to restaurant/ eating place that they don't see anybody there).Anyway second time came here and will NEVER come back! read more

First off. I don't eat teriyaki unless it is at this place. Peep your lookin balls here and I will tell you why: 1. The owners are seriously the nicest people on the planet. Probably even nicer than mother theresa or princess diana but I can't verify that now. Obviously. 2. The lunch special is ridiculously good and I swear the salad dressing is laced with cocaine. It is soo good that I want to bathe in it. Overall, This place rocks but this review is only for the chicken teriyaki. I never get anything else cuz.....why spoil a good thing. 5 stars for the chicken though! read more

I actually enjoyed the food but I couldn't take their customer service anymore.
