Menu 6/20/2025
Dan S.

I had been to Happy Teriyaki a few times over the years when I visit Olympia. On a rainy day this visit, we stopped in. Food The menu offers many options. They offer five lunch specials that are much more reasonable priced than their normal menu. I ordered spicy chicken and beef with brown rice and chicken Yakisoba. The lunch special came with soup. The portion size of chicken and beef was enough to make two meals out of it. It tasted good, the yakisoba was ok, and I didn't care for the soup. 3/5 Service The service was a positive. All ordering was done at the counter. Staff were friendly and courteous. They came by once during our meal to refill drinks and cleaned up in a timely manner. 4/5 Ambiance The restaurant is a sizable space and offers a lot of tables for varying sizes for different groups. The decor isn't memorable, but the place was clean. Happy Teriyaki is a solid dining experience. It is not spectacular, but it is steady. The prices are a bit high for what it is, but it is worth checking outs

Spicy Chicken & Gyoza combo.
Chris V.

I love this place. I visited with a friend and was impressed with the sheer size of my meal. The teriyaki chicken was slightly charred just the way I like it. The gyoza I enjoyed in the convoy was excellent too filled with excellent ingredients. It took two days to eat it all and I have to say they have some of the best teriyaki sauce I've had anywhere. The sauce I enjoyed was the thickened/reduced sauce and I will be back for more the next time I'm in the area. I was very happy with the fried rice option instead of steamed rice and it was loaded with tasty morsels. The stir fried vegetables included were also excellent. Overall, I was impressed and look forward to my next visit to the Olympia area for some more.

Love salad. I added the chicken for protein from my sons chicken tender meal

Customer service was awful. I ordered a love salad with chicken via DoorDash. When it was delivered there was no chicken. I called and the gal on the phone was very rude and basically said oh well this is door dash's problem. So dissatisfied!

Chicken and Beef with Steamed Rice and Vegetables.
Aqeel R.

This place is really good. I stop here when I am in the area. The service is always top notch and is only outdone by the wonderful cuisine. You can't go wrong with the chicken and beef.

Not enough rice!  Why so stingy with rice portion??  I might as well bring my own rice next time!
Jennie H.

Not coming back. 30+ minutes of waiting and still no food ready. Only 3 other tables eating in dining area. If you are hungry, don't come here. Don't even think of coming for lunch because you'll definitely be late back to work!!! Also, they are very stingy with rice!!! Over priced!!

Why did it take me 5 years to finally try this restaurant! It is a vibe and the food is incredible…read more We shared the poutine for starters and it was delicious! They have such a wide selection of food. I had the lemon chicken linguine for dinner and it was a huge portion and absolutely scrumptious. My husband had a steak sandwhich which was equally tasty. We didn't get to try dessert this time as i was too full but will definitely be back! The service was phenomenal, from the greeting at the door and being seated to every server we interacted with. Highly recommend.

Came here to try someplace new…read more I got the Cascadia burger, with blue cheese. It was good but very greasy. The burger was cooked well and had good flavor. My fries were OK - they were not super fresh when I got them. My wife got the Olydelphia Cheesesteak. The meat was cooked well enough, but the peppers were raw. It was also super soggy and greasy, to the point where the bottom bun was soaked through. The taste was good, but the bun was not great. My wife's friend got the hot Italian sandwich. It is a huge sandwich, and she said it tasted good. However, her bun was also a soggy mess when the food came. The server did bring a new roll for her. It did take a while to get our food, but once we got our food our wait staff was attentive. It's a little small inside, so not a lot of room, but that's just the nature of eating downtown.

My husband and I are used to meat markets nearby and we immediately noticed that this place smells so much better. They have a wide range of meats.

They have a little grocery section with various sodas and desserts which are incredible. Try this place out. You will not be disappointed!

I got loads of ground beef, ground pork, and steaks because I do so much meal prepping. We got it all frozen, probably spent well over $300. Everything in our entire order was rancid. Brown and smells absolutely god awful. I've waited many months to give them the benefit of the doubt and see if any of it was good. It was not. I even went to Stewart's meats out in Roy (where we normally buy big meat packages from) and did a test trial. Let them defrost in the fridge for a day or so. Northwest meats was brown and had a foul odor, Stewart's meats was juicy with blood and no odor at all. Conclusion made. They sold us rotten meat. Not cool for the food industry. Have some standards. That could have made someone really sick had they not known and eaten any of it.

It had a beautiful mix of greens, beets, citrus, and nuts, with plenty of chicken. I loved the combination of flavors and textures... every bite had something delicious in it. This was definitely a salad worth getting excited about! We also had a rice bowl loaded with fresh vegetables, feta, and a creamy sauce. The cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions added so much freshness, and everything came together beautifully. Both dishes looked fantastic when they arrived and tasted every bit as good as they looked. We enjoyed beer and wine with our meal, which made for such a nice afternoon together. The exceptional service added to an already wonderful experience, and we left so happy with our visit. If you're looking for delicious food and great service, Uptown Grill is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!

The server apologized and quickly got us a new coffee! Accidents happen so we were just happy with the quick response to the issue. We ordered the chicken and waffles, Dungeness crab Benedict, and their classic sausage and eggs plate. Chicken and waffles were super good! Crispy chicken, and the waffle was nicely cooked. It also came with a piece of bacon which brought a good saltiness to the syrup. The Dungeness crab Benedict was also amazing! Instead of a crab cake patty, it was just Dungeness crab on top! Definitely prefer it this way because other restaurants tend to skimp on the crab when they do a patty version. The hollandaise sauce on top was nice and creamy and the eggs cooked perfectly. At the end of our meal, we did get the pie of the day. It's a rotating pie everyday. That day, the pie was a blackberry and peach pie. When the pie came out, it was well plated and the crust was flaky and hot. However, the blackberries were still a little frozen on the inside, so I don't think they allowed the pies to thaw out thoroughly before baking. In general, I would give this place a 4 out 5 stars just because service was good and the rest of the food was delicious. The restaurant itself is huge with lots of space for customers. They have a somewhat open kitchen concept, if you walk towards the bathroom you can see the cooks working hard in there. Cool environment and if you're looking for a place to have brunch and drinks I would recommend visiting.

I know this restaurant has been closed for renovations, so when we realized they were open again,…read morewe immediately got reservations. We dined there for happy hour for our anniversary, and the interior was amazing. It's dark inside with a cool speakeasy in the back. I never saw what it looked like before, but I can tell the time and effort that went into redesigning it definitely shows. Happy hour is available only in the bar side so if you make a reservation and looking for happy hour, I would put it in as a request so that you get the right seating. I believe happy hour is between 4 - 5:30 on the weekdays. Not too sure about the weekends but call and ask. Now for the food. We started off with a dirty martini and it was good 10/10. Got the happy hour Caesar salad which is a good size for 1-2 people. Then we ordered the shrimp Diablo but they accidentally gave us the wrong one but said we could keep it. I didn't get the name of the dish but it was soooo good. It was shrimp and beef with the beef laying in a peppery creamy sauce on the bottom. Steak was cooked perfectly and so was the shrimp. Next we got the shrimp cocktail, amazing as well. Then we got the steak frites. It's a good size for 1-2 people for the happy hour menu. We ordered a medium rare, and we ordered another one medium. The sauce that comes with it was amazing. Overall, if you're looking for a good happy hour or a nice place for drinks, I highly recommend visiting. Our server, I believe her name was Marlene, was so nice and accommodating for us. Always checked to make sure we were doing okay and comfortable. We will be back to try more items!

Opening night at the revamped Ricardo's! As with any…read moreopenings, the kitchen was hectic but well orchestrated. (There's a window looking in on the kitchen and staff.) The owners, Shane and Jennifer, went to each table asking customers what they liked and what could be changed to improve their experience. Very good to see on a grand opening. Now, for the rest: Atmosphere: Picture an Italian restaurant from the 30's or 40's in Las Vegas, Chicago or New York. Very classy but definitely not stuffy or dated; something like Sinatra, Martin and Davis would go to. I would return for just the experience. Service: Top notch. The servers make you feel welcome as if you were part of the "Old Neighborhood." Our server, Bradford was amazing. Very attentive, knowledgable and friendly. I asked him for his opinion as to how my steak should be cooked and told him I didn't want it bloody. He explained the difference between dry-aged (Something Ricardo's does in house.) and store bought meat. I took his suggestion, Medium Rare, and it came out perfect. The FOOD!!! : As I said, my steak was perfect. The wife had some fancy pasta dish that I can't pronounce. I'm not a pasta-guy but what she had was delicious and not over/under cooked. I ordered the house salad, another thing I don't usually do, just for this review. The vegetables came out fresh, crisp and colorful; I actually finished it. For dessert, we shared the Creme Brûlée flight. The flavors were Vanilla, Peach and Lemon. I enjoyed each but the Lemon was out of this world! (My spouse just told me she had the Burrata Pasta. =) Top Secret: There's a speakeasy behind what appears to be a freezer door. The interior looked amazing. I'll be going there on my next visit. My thoughts: The owners, Shane and Jennifer knocked it out of the park! From what I heard, there'll be a Happy Hour menu with more choices. Times are tough all over; even businesses are feeling the pinch so Shane & Jen will make every effort for you to enjoy your experience at Ricardo's! This isn't your ordinary steak house, and there's more to the menu than just steak. As for my humble opinion, you owe it to yourself to enjoy an amazing time. Life's short... enjoy it!

The food was just alright, but I was disappointed with what I got and was expecting more quality for the price. I ordered the Chicken Cordon Who and I was given a plate with a small handful of still-crunchy sliced bell peppers and zucchini that seemed that they had been in contact with heat for all of 30 seconds next to a pile of potatoes that were cold from sitting. The chicken breast was just meh, not very thick, not very moist, not very seasoned, not very much of it. Small amount of sliced prosciutto on top. I just think for $30 this was a ripoff by at least 1/3 of the price; I would expect an actual chicken cordon bleu at that price instead of this quick-service deconstruction. The blackberry mojito I ordered for I think $15 tasted pretty good but was missing the presence and flavor of any alcohol so there was no complexity, just ended up being a $15 refreshing fruit drink. My husband ordered an appetizer (Sirloin Diablo) for $27 and got a small bowl of steak tips submerged in a barely spicy (Diablo?) cajun cream sauce like a soup surrounded by some painfully plain, thin, unseasoned, boring grilled bread. It's not bad or very good by any means and just wasn't his thing, but charging almost $30 for that? At their prices and the way they are presented I was expecting a really satisfying dinner but walked away feeling like I would've been just as happy eating some standard fare at a local diner for half the cost.
