In 1987, our first teriyaki restaurant debuted in the same location as our family's doughnut shop.
Happy Teriyaki #3 (Lacey) and Happy Teriyaki #5 (Tumwater) are two of our family's final remaining ea…
Our favorite teriyaki in town! Large portions of chicken and rice, cooked to perfection, with lots of delicious sauce. The vegetables are steamed exceptionally well, with a slight crispness to them so they're never overdone. Excellent!

Beef and Vegetable Bowl is much better than the teriyaki chicken. anytime I get the chicken, it's always dry & too salty. the beef is just perfect taste & matches best with the veggies! the portion of a bowl is just perfect for a single person to make u full!! a plate if u want extra left overs.
the Gyoza here is one of my favs because they never dry & always soft w crunchy tips!
I order these items again every time!

it was horrible! this is my favorite normally. this time there was barely any noodles and it was a mix of yaki upon noodles and yakisoba noodles. mostly under cooked veggies. very disappointing and not good.

General Tso's Chicken. Super good. Breading not too thick and chicken in every bite. Came with side of rice.

The Yaki Udon was bland and they now use the flat noodles (vs the round ones from back in the day) that were mediocre and the Crab & Cheese Wontons were rock hard and overcooked. They are not supposed to make you feel like your teeth are going to break when you bite into them. Not sure what has changed over the years, but this used to be the best Happy Teriyaki in Thurston Co. Now... won't be ordering from again.
