“We had a very nice meal at Yama Si! We ordered chicken yakisoba and the combo plate of spicy chicken and beef teriyaki, both were delicious and we honestly could have shared either plate, but who doesn't love leftovers! We would stop again anytime we were in North Bend!“

“The chefs are all awesome... Great ambiance... love all of them.....“

“It seems that they offer lunch and dinner set regardless of time.

It a while for a person to greet me... and was told I could order on the big digital kiosk.... which I had tried since no one was at the counter and it was broken/frozen (also, there is no sign outside indicating it was Musashi; apparently since it was windy they didn't put out their flag/sign. I had never been to this location and was looking for a bite to eat when I was in the area, so if I had not used Google, I would not have known it was there)

There was a table that had not been cleared when I got there and remained that way the whole time, I tried to clear my plates bring them to the counter and was instructed to leave them.

I added a scallop to my lunch set, glad I did it was my favorite piece.

The tea provided was also good, though when I asked them what it was I could not quite catch what they had said...“

“The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We ordered food at the restaurant to go and waited for less than 10 minutes total. The dining room was on the smaller side, but very clean and cozy. We will definitely be back!“

“Tucked away on the Snoqualmie Ridge and just minutes from Snoqualmie Falls and the Club at Snoqualmie Ridge golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus and home to the PGA’s Boeing Classic, you will find Happily at the Bay Teriyaki. The restaurant lives up to its cheerful name with warm hospitality, spotless surroundings, and food that hits all the right notes.

From the moment we walked in, the customer service stood out, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The restaurant and restroom were impressively clean, which always sets a great tone for the meal.

Web ordered the #20, Kung Pao Chicken with a special request: deep-fried and crispy chicken with extra vegetables. Not only did they nail it, but the dish arrived with bold, balanced flavors and just the right amount of heat. The chicken was perfectly crispy without being greasy, and the vegetables were fresh and vibrant, crunchy where they should be, tender where it counts.

We also tried the Chicken Breast Teriyaki (#36 on the menu). The flavor was excellent, sweet, savory, and satisfying. While the chicken breast leaned a bit dry (as white meat sometimes does), it was still a solid dish overall and paired well with the sauce and rice.

This spot is a gem and a must try if you’re visiting the Seattle area!“
