What does this place put in the food!?!? ITS SO GOOD! Love eating here. The service is always great. Very warm up beat atmosphere. They get very busy with to-go orders so there might be a wait sometimes but it's so worth it. Keep doing what you're doing Yaki Raki! read more

Disappointing. I ordered the chirashi don which I order almost every time it is available at a sushi restaurant. Typically, a chirashi don bowl will have the sushi rice topped with tuna, salmon, hamachi, unagi, tamago, tako, seaweed, masago, and other items. This place put tuna, salmon, tamago, hamachi (maybe?) and a ton of avocado...that's it. The fish was not tasty at all. It was very bland. Tamago wasn't tasty either. BWE, daughter, and son-in-law were happy with their sushi and ramen orders so I'm giving three stars for that and the fact that the staff worker was nice. read more

Yaki Raki - Look at all the avocado, and there's more mixed in with the fish. No, thank you. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

In again on Memorial Day wknd sat. Parking lot pretty mt again. I didn't want to cook and hubby having some tummy problems so we decided to have some yummy Ramen. I just love the tonkotsu.

Came here on a whim after a Target visit. The only thing about this plaza, the parking is crazy as you know and can be super limited. But the food is pretty decent! I got the salmon sashimi and spicy tuna roll. Forgot to take photos coz I got it to go. Service was good and the spot was pretty busy. They have a seating area for you to wait. read more

My brother and sister like the sushi here, so we decided to order dinner from here for delivery. I decided to try the Korean Fried Chicken, which came with a side of rice and salad. It was pretty good, and came in a good portion. My sister got the Mongolian Beef, and that was also good, but the portion wasn't as generous as the Korean Fried Chicken. We also got Inari and the Washington, Black Mamba, and Yaki Raki rolls. All were yummy. Next time, I will want to try a roll. read more

I'll be back! read more

A really good hidden gem right by my house! Chicken teriyaki is super good, I've had it twice in one week and I'm not even a huge teriyaki fan.

Yaki raki is a lunch spot located near the central Tacoma target. As far as teriyaki goes it's fairly standard, I don't get a chance to try their sushi but I saw them making it and it looked good. The service is what sets yaki raki apart. They were very friendly and greeted everyone with a smile. All of my requests were quickly seen to, I appreciated the dedication to their profession displayed by the employees. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, but if you're shopping at target or one of the other nearby stores and it's lunch time this is definitely a serviceable option. read more

I came in for a late lunch and had a great experience. The waitress was very friendly and welcoming. The menu has a wide variety of options--Teriyaki, Ramen, Sushi--something for everyone. I ordered the combo for $25, which came with soup, salad, one regular roll, and one special roll. For the price, I thought the food was fresh and tasted good. The interior was clean, modern, and inviting. I'd definitely recommend stopping by for lunch! read more

This place is a great fast-food sushi restaurant, with decent prices. I came here out of convenience and I would come back, but I would not personally go out of my way. They're very nice though, and it is pretty clean inside, plenty of seating. read more

Service was very efficient and excellent. You pick up a menu when you walk in, sit down where you want and order at the counter when you are ready. They had a mini self serve area for water and condiments so it is not wasteful either. The eatery was ambiance was nice and minimal, kind of gave me cafe style vibes which I like. Food, portion size and pricing is better than most places I have tried and would recommend this place for sure. They had a good deal with sushi combos, ended picking up 2 special rolls. read more

Good was ok, it was a take out order so all went as expected. For what was ordered I found it to be very pricey and just came back from overseas where I've been paying 20$ for what was 75 including tip here. 2 rolls, (with the standard fake crab, 1 avacado bomb and a bowl of ramen. Not worth it and won't be back. read more

Hidden Gem! I did not expect much from this strip mall establishment. It used to be called WoK something, which was mediocre at best. I had to grab something quick in the area so I gave it a try. I guess it's been under new ownership for a year now. The plate portions are HUGE and very tasty. Good value for what you get. I ordered the lemon salmon/yellowtail sushi (added tempura shrimp inside + $4) and a classic spider roll. Both made fresh by the sushi chef- he makes it right out front. I was pretty happy with the two rolls. I saw the teriyaki plates coming out and I had to order it to go. They let me make my own combo- 1/2 honey garlic chicken 1/2 teriyaki. I haven't been wowed by chicken teriyaki in forever but this one was WOW. It had a grilled/smokey flavor to it which I appreciated. No complaints for dine in or take out. I'll definitely be coming back. BTW- you will need a to-go box because there is so much food. read more

Such a lovely spot:) Clean, cozy, and welcoming. The food is fresh, delicious, and comes out quickly, with very friendly service. Prices are fair, and the whole atmosphere makes you want to come back again. And one more thoughtful touch, at the counter you can ask for a complimentary tea bag. Little details like this make the place even more special. read more

The food was very good! The service was great! Complimentary hot tea and lemon water was a bonus. The ambiance was casual but modern. Nice music too! The reason they did not get five stars was because the overwhelming smell of chemicals like febreeze.

Delicious quick bite to eat! Located in the plaza, wrap up your day of shopping with a sushi lunch. My husband and I wanted small bites before a local concert, and Yaki Raki had just want we were looking for. They have a huge menu though, so much to try. We ordered the calamari tempura appetizer, which are chunky sized pieces of calamari rather than strips. It comes with a yummy sweet sauce on the side. We shared two rolls, an eel roll and a salmon roll, then finished it off with a tamago nigiri. They don't have fountain drinks, but do have sodas and beverages in a can you can buy. Plus they have a free, self serve water station. The fish was fresh and good quality. read more

Every time I checked this place before, it was always so busy I couldn't get in. Today I took a chance and stepped in to check out the menu. Prices seemed reasonable but I had NO IDEA. I went for Chicken Teryaki partially because the picture looked good and I was HONGRY. I got the free tea bag that comes with my order and poured a cup of hot water to let it steep. I sat down just after lunch and it was there quite quickly. Now I'm hesitant to tell everyone to go there because I REALLY liked it and hope it doesn't get too crowded. The ambience? It's a nice theme that I didn't pay much attention to but I noticed a little wear on the floor. (Likely from the massive amount of happy shiny people passing through and partaking of mass quantities of consumables) The amount of food I got was plenty for two people. I ate 1/2 my chicken and a 1/3 of the rice (doused in the sweet teriyaki drippings from the chicken. Although flavorful and lightly sweet and delicious, no noticeable change in my Glucose level so far 2 hours later, but I've yet to test) I'm not one for iceberg lettuce in salad but it looked delicious and Char loved it and the other 1/2 of the chicken. The puppy got some rice with a little sauce so she was happy too. I wrapped up eating my 1/2 and asked Char if she wanted some. The home box was just big enough for the leftover food. I'm a big eater so when I say I was surprised that much was left, I'm not kidding! Another day I might have eaten all the chicken but I would have been stuffed! I let the cashier know I write for Yelp and asked if I could take her picture for the review. She asked the cook Jay, who I think is also the owner/manager and he was okay after he realized I wasn't just a perv taking pretty girls like Kayla's pictures. He cooked it up awesome and Kayla was super nice and efficient too. Now for Nap time after I check my blood glucose level. Zzzz read more

What a great find. Everything was so full of flavor and very fresh. The tonkatsu ramen was delicious, amazing broth. The beef yakisoba and the beef and broccoli were amazing too. Great beefy flavor. I h ave a feeling everything is great here. read more

I stumbled upon this place by chance and I'm so glad I did! It's a Japanese restaurant that serves a combo of different Asian foods, including KFC (Korean fried chicken) and different Chinese foods. When you walk in, there's directions on how to order but here's how it goes: 1. Grab a menu 2. Seat yourself 3. Go to cashier to order 4. Grab water/tea yourself and 5. They bring your food out to your table 6. Leave the table and they'll clean it. The ambiance was nice, pretty casual, and it was spacious so you don't feel like you're cramped in. The food was tasty, the portions huge! I have very limited food options due to a food intolerance but even what I did have was very tasty and it looked clean. They have booster seats and high chairs which is a plus for families with littles. Overall, we will be back! I'd give it five stars if it had gluten free options labeled! read more

By far one of the best tasting shrimp fried rice and avocado roll, I've tasted in Tacoma. Plenty of medium size shrimp and vegetables portioned to the rice. This restaurant is on my ordering out dinner night list. read more

great service and great food Great prices! Clean and cute place! Sushi and Ramen were both amazing. We will definitely come back again.

Sugoi! (Amazing!) The Tonkotsu was delicious! The service is great. Worth the drive from Gig Harbor! read more

Food always on point. Hot and well seasoned.. the staff doesn't talk much and the young lady behind the counter ignored me whilenm I stood there ready to order. Didn't greet me as she continued to work on receipts she was managing. Didn't really say much during my transaction for sit down service. When the food was brought to the table she just set it down and walked away. It's a lack of customer service that makes me think I'd rather order for take-out and go home to eat. But Food was great. read more

Food is delicious. I highly recommend this place. Service is also excellent! This is definitely my go to restaurant in Tacoma,

My 4th time here and they're still knocking it out of the park. Support this business. I love their sushi. I mean look at all the fish and very little rice. Very good sign of great sushi by the way. I love the surf, and my boyfriend loves the turf! It's perfect for us. You do order and sit down, but the service is really good. Not too busy. Cleanest bathrooms that I've seen in Tacoma. SUPPORT THIS SMALL BUSINESS. Good food is hard to find in this town and excellent food is even harder and this place is truly exceptional!!! Let's keep them in business. They deserve it and I cannot say that for hardly any restaurant in Tacoma. read more

Ordered from Yaki Raki Sushi via Uber Eats. Was expecting quality sushi. What I got was gas station sushi.

I am OBSESSED with this place! Always my go-to for lunch. The Katsu is my fav, but was shocked at how BOMB the sushi was. So fresh and delicious..don't even get me started on the miso soup 10/10 read more

We stopped here for lunch. It was a nice place to sit down for lunch. There is something here for anyone who desires Asian cuisine. The service was okay. At this restaurant, you grab a menu, take a look, make a decision, pay and then eat. If you choose to dine in , they will give you a complimentary tea bag for tea and miso soup. Today that miso soup was perfect for me because I felt a bit cold today from PNW winds. The tea was a nice gesture as well. We ordered a Mongolian beef and chicken teriyaki combination. It includes three bumps of rice and small lettuce with some dressing. I opted out the lettuce. It is definitely worth coming back to try fried rice and even ramen. We normally do not order ramen anywhere because we mastered the art of creation at home. But we saw someone with some ramen and willing to try it also. I think the combination is great if you are new and not sure what to try. The teriyaki chicken is nicely grilled and gently flavored. And it was not drenched in sauce or overbearing. I actually enjoyed it. It was a modest amount to share with my husband. But for big eaters , it can be easily devoured by them. I will be back again. This is a place that I would come to visit. I love the hospitality of a hot soup while waiting for our meal. This reminds me of a restaurant that my husband and I went when we first met. Sipping the miso brought some memories. This is not a Grubhub one. This one is not that type and the dining experience just will not be the same .This is one we will go to on a date from time to time. read more

Decided to try this spot. I like sushi and teriyaki but not a fan of sushi from a teriyaki spot. This place, however, changed my mind. Walking in, it was clean and the simple Japanese decor was so cute. That made it feel nice already. The staff were soft spoken and kind and willing to answer any question. The chicken teriyaki plate was a really good size. Chicken was perfectly charred, tender and juicy. The sushi was really good. I've had my share of spider rolls. It's super basic but man, it was freshly fried and well put together. My husband scooped Mac salad into their teriyaki sauce and was in awe. He says it was so good he ordered a side of Mac salad just to drizzle some of that sauce on it. Overall, this was a great experience and if we are in the area, we are most definitely stopping by. Great parking available as well. read more

Amazing place for sushi and Asian food. The quality is top notch and it is fast counter service. They have great combo deals where you can get both entrees and sushi that we enjoyed as we got to try beef broccoli and orange chicken. The ambiance is nice to enjoy a meal with family as well did. If we move to the area we will be back often for sure. read more

Teriyaki chicken was my favorite! Super delicious and very underrated spot. Would definitely recommend!

Pretty good. In between a traditional sushi and teriyaki restaurant. Sushi is made to order and noodles are decent. Exceptional for the Tacoma area. Above average for Seattle. Average for Vancouver read more

Nice sushi spot. Food tasted delicious --very fresh--and the place is neatly designed with a good atmosphere.

Ummm what the hell...the cook went to lunch so I sat and waiting for my lunch for a while...I should have timed it cause I been waiting for 40 minutes...come to find out (no one kept me updated) thst he was the guy that did my sushi. This is ridiculous. I would have skipped ordering that so I could have just left with my hot food. Bad communication .... I prob won't be back here cause I'm tired, just got off plane and have to wait for this guy to eat his lunch. Hell no! read more

This place was recommended by a coworker; I tried the honey garlic chicken. It was amazing! And so crispy. Perfect amount of garlic and honey. No complaints there. Good amount of rice but the place skimped on the sides which was kind of disappointing. You get one bite of macaroni salad and like 5 edamames. The service was good the girl was kinda quiet but still had recommendations. Loads of seating and clean tables. You can get as much chili oil from the self serve bar as you want. Overall, a good find and I paid $17 for this meal. read more
