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!“

“Not sure if it was the cook or maybe they messed up but the Mongolian beef sauce was so sweet. Almost like they added the sweet and sour sauce. This is was definitely not your traditional Mongolian beef like Tealeaf2. The flavor is off and taste different. Super disappointing.“

“I am really amazed by Happy Teriyaki - we grew up in Olympia / Lacey since the late 1970's and Happy Teriyaki is something I remember as being around forever and every after school drive home would smell the chicken grilling with teriyaki sauce miles away. The chicken teriyaki is GOOD still today, as good as I remember. This is really difficult to achieve as you know nothing is as good as you remember. Congrats to Happy Teriyaki!“

“Truly one of my favorite spots. When I’m have realllly bad craving Souru is always the place I think of first. Best fresh spring rolls, honey chicken, spicy chicken, miso soup, & bubble tea. I drive 45 from home - surpassing many places - just to come here.“

“Generous portions, beautiful presentation, great service, and tasty food! Highly recommend trying and dining in.

Atmosphere inside is warm and homey - and the table spacing makes your meal feel a little more private. Servers were kind and had perfect frequency on table visits.

Had the hot chicken teriyaki dinner plate. Chicken and vegetables were great, rice as expected. Good value for the portions. Friend had a few sushi rolls and said they were tasty, but not their top choice. Either way, great food!“

“Always fantastic 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.“
