Happi House Famous Teriyaki - San Jose

I'll take a Sunday trip to get my teriyaki! I'm going to the 5th street, too!

One of my long-term favorites in SJ. Freshly prepared and beautiful renovated dining room. Wheelchair accessible, no bathroom I'm aware of.

Food: Famous Chicken Teriyaki is okay. Nothing to rave about. The chicken pieces are smaller than other chicken restaurants. The salad is bland and needs teriyaki sauce. The fried tempura is good. Price: Food is cheap here. $8-$10 for a meal. Service: It is very slow here. Expect to wait. The cashier is also the person who cleans and grab the orders. Ambience: It is very open here. Plenty of seats. The seats are wooden and hard. The furnitures are dark, while the walls are a bright white.

Salmon Teriyaki bowl comes with your choice of rice and onion rings. Quantity can be better. Thai Chicken Salad was good but it looked nothing like the advertised or on the menu pictures. Don?t forget to add Teriyaki or Thai sauce to the dish before eatingas it?s not pre added. Service was good and staff was friendly.

We got take out; no curbside pickup. Food is just like I remember; pretty good for fast food. What I did not care for was how they package the food. Soup was in one of those really nice plastic non-liquid food container, not one made for soup or liquid. They did put it in a plastic bag, but it still it spilled. The actual food was in little paper bags and boxes. The plate I ordered, pork teriyaki and salad was deconstructed; salad in one box, meat in another. Had trouble reconciling the contents of the the Togo bag with what I ordered. One bright light was the guy working the front counter (sorry didn't get the name) he was most excellent in his service. I walk with a cane (that's why I prefer curbside pickup) and he offered to and did take my bags to my car for me. I really appreciated this as it was a particularly challenging day for me. Good thing there is a nice parking lot there with decent size spaces.
