Cheap, decent food with great hours. Self service kiosk and soda machine is nice. Place is a bit outdated. Pretty sure the building used to be a Jack In The Box?

To the owner, you need to re-do the whole menu with 100% better and authentic HAPPI FOOD, the name of the restaurant is way far from what it’s said on google. Frozen non flavored teriyaki food, too many onions are used for tempura veggies, the teriyaki chicken bowl, has frozen vegetables, and chopped onions, sorry, came a long drive for a waste of food and money. Don’t recommend eating here at all.

Good food, good atmosphere, and good prices. I have been coming to Happi House since I was a kid, so for decades at this point. I agree with some of the other reviewers that lately the food is the best it has ever been. The tempura is crispier, the meat is tastier and the sauces are always on point. They have also expanded their menu to branch out into other offerings, which is exciting, though I generally stick to the classic combos. I have moved out of the area so I always go to Happi House as a treat when I’m back in San Jose. I was sad to learn about the other locations closing. I really hope the current two restaurants stick around as Happi House really is a San Jose institution. I like the classic Happi House style of the inside of this restaurant.

Fast food place for all things teriyaki. I don’t see myself coming back but the prices were not bad for the amount of food we got. We tried the following:
. Veggie tempura: Hot and crispy, exactly what I was expecting. The mix includes carrots, zucchini, broccoli and onions. Pretty good and decent portion for an appetizer, I just wish it included a bigger sauce for dipping.
. Sampler plate #10: The plate is quite big, aside from the chicken salad and veggie tempura it includes a piece of katsu chicken, a teriyaki chicken drumstick, some beef and pork. The rice (beef rice) was ok, didn’t have much flavor. All meats were good.
I’d ask for both regular and spicy teriyaki sauce, these help.
. Chicken salad: Do not order this. It doesn’t come with any sort of dressing, it’s just lettuce, some crispy rice noodles and sesame seeds. Think of the side salad you never really want to eat. It’s fine if it comes with your combo and you’re very hungry, otherwise I’d avoid it altogether, not even worth the $3.39.

Only 2 locations left. I hope they never close up. I don’t know what I will do if I can’t get my chicken salad fix.

Good place to eat and hangout with friends. Mostly I found fried items and it tastes good. We need to ask whether it is fried before buying it as it was surprise when I saw all the fried items on my plate.

They three meat plate with the pork, steak and chicken wasn’t really worth it. The pork was really a good but everything else was lagging flavors. What’s cool about this place is they have the old school potato smiley faces from school lunches but they are so much better because they are fried.

We were hungry and found ourselves in the neighborhood. We wanted to go somewhere else, but it was closed (even though Google said they were open). We found this place, and we were pleasantly surprised. Large portions. Good takeout Japanese food. Maybe not to drive 20 minutes out of the way, but if I’m in the neighborhood again, I’d consider it. Extra star because logo looks like the Nardcore symbol.

Do not expect this place to be open until 11pm as specified on google. Call the location to confirm. If you speak someone name Laura an place a order before 10pm and think you will be able to pick up after after 10pm you will be wrong. No manager on pm shift until next AM shift. Pm shift supervisor Laura will not offer refund.
