10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Lacey

“Really great burger! Not like regular burgers. Fresh ingredients and bread. Unique sauce. Killer fries. highly recommended!“

“I moved to Olympia in 2022 and began looking for good restaurants. After going to 4 Japanese I hit on Kamakura and have been returning there at least 1X/week. Great rolls, rice is perfectly executed, the Drunken Noodles with shrimp are AMAZING(every time). The staff is so kind and accommodating (makes me feel relaxed) The only thing I feel want for is more seaweed in the miso soup. This restaurant reflects everything with a touch of Japanese family tradition. The prices are fairly set and reflect the quality of food. So this is “my go to” Japanese place in Olympia“

“Stopped by on a Friday evening to order takeout. Place was popular and bustling. The teriyaki chicken was good, so we're the egg rolls which are large. First time customer but would like to come back to try other dishes. There 2 sushi chefs were very busy.“

“I've been coming here for years, since it first opened, actually. They have always been the best and most consistent of the Happy T's, in my experience. The staff have always been friendly, the food tasty, and the restaurant clean and comfy. Sadly, the Froyo Machine saw its last...it will be missed. However, everything else remains in top form.“

“I had teriyaki and orange chicken lunch special. Chicken was cooked well and juicy. Both had a little more sauce than I would prefer but minor nit pic. The portions are massive and you will walk out either hating yourself and your choices or with leftovers for dinner. I wouldn't go out of way to come here but if imin the area ill stop again.“

“Stopped by while passing through and was pleasantly surprised. It looked like the owner was running the place by himself, taking orders and serving food, but everything still ran smoothly. You order and pay first, then sit down, which is a little different at first, but the service was still quick and efficient.

We ordered the chicken katsu and the spicy chicken teriyaki, and both were really good. The lunch menu prices were great too. I just wish I had taken a picture of the menu!“

“This place is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the wait staff was phenomenal — attentive without being overbearing, genuinely kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They made thoughtful recommendations and made us feel completely taken care of the entire evening.

And the food? Amazing doesn’t even cover it. Every roll was beautifully presented and impossibly fresh. The fish melted in your mouth, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and you can truly taste the quality in every bite. It’s clear there’s real care and craft behind every dish that comes out of the kitchen.

If you’re looking for exceptional sushi paired with top-tier service, this is the spot. We’ll absolutely be back — and soon. 🍣✨“

“Loves trappers All you can eat bar! Always a family treat and is our favorite spot for family date night! We usually have a party of 6-8 and spend about $375 if you don't go crazy with appetizers! Great staff and my favorite dude there is Ty!!! Shot out to him for exceptional service and an impeccable sense of humor!“

“First time ordering, food was so good it was worth writinga review. Food was amazing! Great portions, great flavor. and decently priced! We did UberEats, and the food was still awesome. Definitely recommend, we'll be eating here again.. amd probably frequently!“

“From mine n my roommates regular HT#3. Roommate likes the bigger menu and food but #3 is alot more relaxing. the remodel is nice but it seems to have cut least a 1/3 of seating guess you needed the added kitchen space 👍. I've been coming to this location since atleast 2013. when my family would come and get unlimited sushi for birthdays had a sake bomb aswell. today (04/25/21) I had the "Bad Girl" roll extremely yummy. also had the crab rangoons which were good aswell.“
