" I finally made it to Lakeo and the food did not live up to the hype. While the flavors were decent, I had a serious issue with the cleanliness of the area where my food was prepared. I could not see how this place is touted as the best Japanese in the area. This was upsetting as I wanted to love it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lakeo has become a staple in our community. I get the chicken teriyaki almost every time, and it's always available in massive portions. The flavor keeps me coming back. However, the sauces have changed slightly and I miss the old recipe. If they can tweak that back, it’d be perfect! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a regular at Lakeo! I enjoy the variety they offer and the flavors are always on point. The beef and vegetable (zucchini) stir-fry is my favorite, especially with an extra side of shrimp sauce. Although it is a drive-thru, the quality doesn’t feel compromised. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to stop by Lakeo on a whim after hearing good things. While the drive-thru experience was easy, the food was mediocre at best. The portions were fine, but the hibachi chicken I ordered was lacking in taste. I hope they can iron out the kinks because I’d like to see them improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having moved from a place with a renowned Japanese steakhouse, I was excited yet apprehensive to try Lakeo. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and was pleasantly surprised—while it’s not as traditional as what I was used to, the flavors were delightful. The drive-thru setup is unique, but sometimes I crave an in-person dining experience. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, but it’s a mixed experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lakeo is hit or miss for me. I had a great experience last time, but the condiments I received were not the usual high quality. The rice was okay, but nothing special. I appreciate their effort in trying to keep things fresh but would suggest they focus more on consistency moving forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my favorite place for a quick meal after work! Their pork pot stickers are out of this world—crispy and packed with flavor. I also appreciate the freshness of the ingredients. The wait can be a bit long during peak hours, but it's worth it. They truly have a unique style of serving that fits my busy lifestyle. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
