    What is that that came out of my chicken?

    We have not eaten at Happy Teriyaki since last June 2023 when my son found something odd looking in his chicken. Also the foam packing containers were getting a bit scary to me, looking as if the food was absorbing (melting?) into it, even discoloring. Petroleum products are just not safe. I told Happy Teriyaki about the to-go containers and my concerns.

    Spicy chicken teriyaki $11.29! Way too expensive for what you get!

    It's not like it wasn't okay, it was okay. $11:29 for what should be $7.99 lunch special! I asked for spicy teriyaki and fried rice 3times because he kept asking if I wanted vegetables. Nope just spicy chicken teriyaki and fried rice! Still didn't get what I ordered and for the amount I received for $11.29???? It wasn't bad, it was okay. No real complaints, but will I go back? Nope! I won't be back! Way too pricey for what you get.

    Fat from the "chicken "and uncooked onions out of my meal. Leftovers unworthy of take home.

    Ordered the Cashew chicken and it was some other meat that definitely wasn't chicken. I suspect it was pork. This is not a place I'd recommend. I gave it 2 stars cuz giving 1 star would mean I'd been served dog food. But I wouldn't feed these leftovers to my dog.

    Get water and avoid the $2.95 cost of a soda...bullsh$& for a fountain drink with no refills.

    Food was mediocre, but that is what I expected. What I was most irritated about was I paid $2.95 plus tax for a Diet Pepsi with no refills...this is price gouging and extortion to the public.

    They are the epitome of slow fast food, but their food is great with grilled or charbroiled like meats, delicious! I feel their portion sizes are generous, their tempura batter a little thick (un authentic) but very tasty. We will continue to order from and eat here regularly.

    Headed to westport for some clammin' and had to get some food! We love Happy Teriyaki in Puyallup and decided it was time to try this one out. We called on our way into town, stopped, picked it up and went over to walmart to get some buckets. We ate in the parking lot on the tailgate of my pickup and hadn't tasted anything that good all day. But really, the food was good, the girl helping us was busy, but nice enough, maybe a little short with us. All in all, we'll skip subway next time and stop here instead!

    This is what $10 worth of plain noodle looks like

    Food is delicious. Service was excellent. It's not what I would call ambience but it's ok.

Can't remember which rolls we had but the group split 5-6 different ones, which we all liked. Have been here maybe seven times, good for a date but also chill for kids. The servers always make great recommendations when the kids dont know what to get and want something new. I almost got two flavored lemonades last time we went, but Nyah recommended my girls split one since it's a huge serving and they are tiny girls! Love it when they look out for you like that, and FYI she was absolutely accurate. Thanks Samurai team, for me, you guys have always done good work!

    I was honestly pretty surprised by their sushi. The way they cure their fish, remind me of a…read moreJapanese style sushi and not an American sushi restaurant, which caught me off guard. I travel the coast regularly as my work requires travel, but honestly this was probably the most "traditional" tasting sushi restaurant from coastal Washington to Northern california. The staff were friendly and service felt somewhat like a casual dining service. Here is the criticism portion, while I very much enjoyed the food, it also made me have higher standards as it is a more traditional Japanese style sushi. I personally felt like all the nigiri were great, but the spicy tuna roll that came along with it wasn't the best. I feel like it was an item that was there to make it more suitable for American customers, but honestly it didn't really feel like it belongs as the sushi is more traditional, focusing on more simple flavors but with depth. The rice proportion is a little big, but not only that, i feel like the texture of the rice was a little on the mushy side, and it also lacked flavor. I was a bit disappointed that there were repeats in the deluxe nigiri since I am honestly ordering this so I can try multiple of their flavors at a simplified/refined state. i did end up ordering Saba(mackerel)/unagi(eel) separately as I was craving stronger flavors and I was curious as they had it on the menu, but it wasn't on the deluxe I had ordered. It was really good which added to my disappointment. Overall, I think it is a great sushi restaurant, but it can do with some improvements to become a GREAT one.
