" I visited Happy at the Bay recently and was blown away by the flavors! The chicken teriyaki was not only generous in portion but also cooked to perfection. The teriyaki sauce had a great balance, not overpoweringly sweet nor salty. I truly felt like I was enjoying a home-cooked meal. The ambiance was warm and cozy, and the server was very attentive to our needs. I will definitely be returning soon to explore more of what they offer! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited this teriyaki restaurant after hearing good things and ended up being quite satisfied. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. However, I felt that the sauces could use a little more balance—some were very sweet. Overall, I would say it’s worth checking out if you’re in the vicinity! " (*Curated Review*)

" The last time I went to Happy at the Bay, I was really underwhelmed. The teriyaki chicken was overcooked and didn't come with enough sauce. I found the staff to be distracted and not very engaging as well. I hope they address these issues, as I'd like to enjoy this restaurant again in the future. Their past achievements give me hope for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried this place after hearing glowing recommendations from friends. A bit hesitant based on some mixed reviews, but I can say with confidence the food was fantastic! Highlight was the yakisoba—perfectly cooked and seasoned. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall nice dining experience. I could definitely see myself coming back here on future visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Happy at the Bay Teriyaki! The homemade teriyaki sauce was so enjoyable—far better than any I've tasted at other teriyaki spots. Portions are generous, and the staff treats you like family. I feel so lucky to have found this restaurant; it’s a delightful addition to our dining options! Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited and was surprised by the quantity of food for the price! However, I was let down by the lackluster taste. The chicken was tender but overwhelmed by a sauce that tasted too commercial. The ambiance was cozy, but the service could have been more attentive. I want to support local eateries, so hopefully they can get their flavor profile back to where it used to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing experience! The spicy chicken teriyaki was a definite highlight. It had just the right kick and was loaded with fresh veggies. The portions are oversized, making it a perfect place for lunch. Atmosphere is lively, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. I can't wait to come back again. " (*Curated Review*)
