“Best take out Teriyaki on the hill. The food is Amazing & Affordable and the staff is Outstanding and so Polite. We love this place“

“This place is so bomb! I paid $20 for combo of chicken teriyaki and sesame chicken with 2 scoops of rice and a salad, it was so much food and so delicious. I have leftovers for work tomorrow this place never disappoints I wish I would have took a pic before I dug in“

“This place never disappoints. The service is great and the food is amazing 💖“

“The short ribs were really good. Super tender and full of flavor. I thought they’d be expensive, but the prices felt fair, especially considering how everything’s gone up lately.

I also tried one of the wok dishes, and it was tasty. If you like chicken, they’ve got a few solid options worth checking out. Overall, a nice spot. I’d come back again.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had an amazing dinner at Iron Chef! Our chef, Issac, was not only incredibly talented but also made the whole experience fun and engaging from start to finish. What really stood out was how attentive the entire staff was—after dinner, Daniel noticed us taking photos and came over to offer to take a group shot for us. Such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture! The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was great. Definitely coming back!“

“Got the combo with Chicken Teriyaki and Sesame Chicken for takeout, and was very pleased. Food was excellent, and even though they forgot to put my sauce on the side, they offered to remake it for me! I didn't have them remake it because that would have been just a waste of perfectly good food, but the fact that offered was nice.

Only small nitpick is that for a double plate like that, the amount of rice you get is pretty small. I assume it's the same amount of rice that you get for a single plate, so one more scoop would have felt more balanced.

Overall though, I think it's a pretty small complaint. Very good food, not too expensive. Definitely recommend!“

“Me and my boyfriend since we started dating back in 23 have always come here it’s our goto place! the people even remember our order now because we come here so often. We love the chicken teriyaki we come here at least once a week but this is our favorite place no where else compares and the food is the same delicious meal every time no inconsistency!“

“I’ve been coming to this location for over 30 years. I haven’t been for a few years and my kid was really craving teriyaki so we made the drive to Puyallup for a little nostalgia.
I don’t think this place is managed by the same people. The place looks pretty much the same but possibly under new management.
The older woman who worked here for many years was not here. I didn’t recognize any of the usual staff. There is another woman behind the counter tonight. She was busy getting things done. She is loud and capable, but could rub people the wrong way. She means well, but I think things get lost in translation. For example this evening a customer ordered food through DoorDash and came to pick it up. The woman behind the counter tried to tell the customer it would be $20 cheaper to order through the store directly instead of paying for in-store pickup through DoorDash. The woman behind the counter came across loud and bossy. The customer left upset and obviously confused. The woman behind the counter said she just wanted her customers to not pay extra money.
The food tonight is different than it had been all the years I’ve known this place too. Everything is saucy, even the teriyaki. Still has a good taste and good sized portions, just different. The woman behind the counter was juggling online orders, phone orders, walk-in orders and table service. Our drinks were refilled twice and our food came out quick and hot. Bathrooms were clean, restaurant was clean.
Tonight is Thursday and there was a lot of business there.“

“Mom and I stopped here for lunch and the young man, Sean, behind the counter was friendly and very helpful. The starter was egg soup and it was really good! We had the Stir Fried Veggies with Shrimp and Teriyaki Beef & Chicken Combo. We were very pleased and will definitely return!
Dad wanted to check the place out and he enjoyed the lunch very much. He had Vegetable Yakisoba and I had the Beef and Broccoli.“

“We stopped here to try out their food. I got a miyako bento box, and my husband got the Mongolian beef. The bento box was good, kind of overpriced for the quality of food. The portions are smaller but the food is really great. My husband didn't particularly like the Mongolian beef. It wasn't bad, but not great either. We could drop by to try other dishes if in the area.“

“My new favorite sushi spot!“

“When my husband and I are out of town for his job, I always miss Suzy’s!! They set the bar high on all their food. 💚 we love you Suzy!“

“great food, friendly atmosphere reasonable price“

“We had the conveyor belt special LOL. Nice variety of food served fresh. Temperatures could have been better but it is the nature of the food going around on the conveyor belt. Service was very attentive and friendly. This was perfect for sushi lovers as well as those that prefer other options. Buy one get one free saki was a nice touch as well.“

“First time trying this place was a couple weeks ago and I have to say I’ve been missing out. Some of the best sushi I have had. I love the “Alaska & Las Vegas” rolls. They do get busy, but if you call head you shouldn’t have a wait time.

Kid-friendliness: Saw lots of families eater there every time I went in.“
