Hak San Teriyaki

As Teriyaki is my favorite food, I am very picky. This is the BEST teriyaki I’ve ever had. Staff is very friendly! My stamp card will be filling up very fast.

This is By FAR the best teriyaki I’ve ever had! I always got it when I lived in Federal Way and got my friends addicted to this place too. When I moved to Auburn, I wanted to try closer places, but none of them compared. I now live in Bonney Lake and would still travel to eat here. The customer service is great and the portions are very generous. Highly recommend it!

I had chicken and short ribs and wife had fish and chips. The sauce was way to sweet it over powered the meat. The fish was regular frozen deep batter variety with Costco fries. Maybe change sauce recipe.

This place is mexican owned place. However their teriyakis are great. But it would be way better if they add more salads then macaroni as side

Pros: you get A LOT of food
Cons: Tables were sticky, shrimp was waaay overcooked, chicken was drowned in teriyaki sauce, and not sure where the pasta with mayo fits into the meal

This teriyaki place is decent, but I’ve had better in King county. A previous post mentioned that the teriyaki sauce tasted like it had cinnamon in it, which I do agree. It’s not strong, but a different taste. I’m not a fan of drenching teriyaki sauce on top of rice and that’s how this place packs their to go boxes. Sometimes the Mac salad has way too much mayo on it. The strawberry bubble tea w/​tapioca was good, but they should try straining the sugar syrup better — it was like half a cup of boba and syrup and the rest of the cup was smoothie. Customer service is good and they always have orders ready quickly.

The boneless teriyaki chicken is what you come here for. That is good but if you don’t like sugar ask for easy on the sauce because it was too much sauce and sugar for my liking. The white rice was interesting because of the sauce I think it had cinnamon in it too? The rice wasn’t long grain Jasmine or anything special it was like Uncle Ben’s or Minute Rice. The vegetables were salty. I don’t understand the shell pasta on the side of the meal.
1 star for the teriyaki chicken being boneless white meat
1 star for friendly service
1 star for size. A whole order fed 1 adult and 2 young children it was a big box of food.
1 star for its location next to Fred Meyers and the post office.
I can’t say I’d come back but if I am in the mood for something done teriyaki and I don’t have time to do it myself or go to a higher end restaurant. I only ate the meat and a bit of the rice. The pasta was too much sugar and starch with a meal like this and the vegetables too salty with a sauce over them.

Not bad for a quick meal. Tried the chicken teriyaki-​all white meat (that was the best part). My plate also had a pasta (?) on it as well-​just small shells with I’m assuming mayo. Did I taste a hint of cinnamon in the sauce? Interesting no doubt.
Friendly staff.
Overall, it wasn’t the worst I’ve had because not too many strip mall teriyaki restaurants use all white chicken meat that actually taste decent.
