10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Lacey

“Delicious fusion burgers, unique flavors, and hearty portions. Always fresh to order. Great addition to have as a food option here.“

“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“

“First time order for pick up and so glad I tried them. A friend picked up so I am not sure about parking, etc. The sushi was fresh and delicious. I ordered the tuna and yellow fin. The teriyaki short rib was cooked just right and generous portion. Crab Rangoon was very tasty and I could tell it was made to order. Great menu with lots of options and very easy to order online. Kind and accommodating service. Highly recommended!“

“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 have ordered takeout from here many times in the last few years and can't complain. High praise from other reviews are good indication of consistent quality meals they've been serving, hot and fresh everytime and its served timely.

My favorite is the Chicken Katsu and for Lunch Special get Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu combo for $13.99 (pre tax). It comes with two scoops of rice and side salad. Chicken Teriyaki is tender and has a great smoke charred flavor, sauce is not overly sweet or salty. Rice is good quality and texture, cooked perfectly.

The owner is friendly and the restaurant is kept clean. I read on other recent review that dine-in customers were served their meal in take-out containers and I can confirm that I saw a couple eating in at the restaurant today (while I was waiting for my takeout) and they were eating in takeout container as well. I know some places do this by default so I don't know if they've always done it this way, but I guess if I am eating in, I would prefer to eat my meal on a plate.

The location is in a newer plaza complex in Lacey with plenty of parking and easy to get in and out roundabouts. Great pricing too. They kept it true and consistent through thick and thin over the years!“

“Koibito One Sushi & Teriyaki has become one of my favorite restaurants. I've done takeout and had food delivered on multiple occasions. I've tried various sushi rolls, tempura (shrimp and veggie), teriyaki chicken and salmon, salads, and hot entrees. The food is always delicious!“

“Got the chicken breast teriyaki I think if I got the regular chicken teriyaki it would have been a larger portion of protein but I'm not sure.
It was good though and they gave me plenty of rice since I didn't get veggies.“

“My friends and I had an amazing experience at Trapper’s Sushi, and a huge part of that was our sushi chef, Angel. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and clearly talented at what she does. Every roll she prepared was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious.

What really made the experience stand out was Angel’s personality. She was engaging, attentive, and took the time to make us feel welcome while offering great recommendations. You can tell she genuinely cares about both her craft and her guests’ experience.

The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was great, and Angel made our visit memorable from start to finish. It’s rare to find someone who combines such skill, professionalism, and warmth. We left impressed and already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Angel, for an incredible dining experience! 🍣✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I love getting take out from here! They have a huge variety of options. We can find something to suit all the picky eaters in my family. I love their chicken breast teriyaki and salmon nigiri. My fave!
If you haven't, give them a shot. They have nice specials through door dash and fair pricing.“

“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.“
