Lets talk food

The other day I decided to start talking about some local places to get a bite in areas that I do business in regularly. I stopped by the Gyro place in University Place, but they appeared to be closed. After a couple of minutes of driving around I found this teriyaki joint and decided to give it a try.

Upon pulling up I snagged a menu (which was hung conveniently on the door handle) and had a look at it. “Happy Hana Teriyaki & Wok” I have to say, for a hole in the wall teriyaki place it sure had a large menu. Not just your basic “Chicken and Rice” kind of place. Sushi, Tempura, and a selection of soup, not just your egg drop standard.

We ordered a lunch special (Chicken T and your choice of another meat, I went with General Sao’s) which came with steamed rice, salad, AND a soda. Their menu doesn’t say that our meal comes with salad and soda, but the gal behind the counter was very friendly and I think she knows that we hadn’t been there before. Very welcoming.

Other take-out places I’ve been end up costing $9-$10 after you get your meal and a drink, so I was surprised when the deal ended up at about $7.50.

Overall I give this place a solid score for asian food. Its great for a lunch on the go, the price is right, the people are fast and friendly. Oh, almost forgot, the place was very clean as well. I would have no problem stopping to eat with one of my real-estate clients while showing houses out in University Place.

Hopefully they don’t mind this little review, but I was really taken by their place and will likely eat there again in the near future.

If you have any questions about real estate in University Place, or anywhere else in the Tacoma / South Puget Sound area, feel free to drop me an email, leave a comment, or visit my website at www.59days2sold.com
