56 Teriyaki

The best Teriyaki and sweet and sour! Highly recommended! I love there food! Much better then the China place next door!

The service is top notch, the dining area is clean, the food is good. This place is as good as it gets when it comes to service and friendliness, and the food is consistently spot on. For the service and the value you can’t get any better.

Great service, but the food taste like crap. Ordered sesame chicken, tasted like soy sauce and pepper sprinkled with sesame seeds on top. Very disappointed.

The complementary egg drop soup tastes like chicken broth. It’s ok, but salty. The orange chicken is just chicken, sauce and rice. The sauce is good but the chicken tastes like McDonald’s nuggets– not good. The sesame chicken is make the same, but the soy sauce overpowers the chicken. Huge let down

This place never disappoints me! The appearance is neat and well displayed. The lady is always smiling and gives good customer service. Finally I found a place where the food is served exactly like the menu (Ikr lol).
Make sure you drink their green tea while you wait for your food.

I use to come here all the time couple years ago but looks like they got new owners. I did 2 different take outs orders recently and it was pretty good. I ordered yakisoba and chicken teriyaki, both I would recommend.
The cashier is friendly over the phone when I was ordering, which is always a good sign of a good business. And I didn’t feel rushed ordering on the phone with her.
The prices are average, I think a lot of teriyaki places are raising their prices.
I would come here again when I crave some yummy teriyaki!

I have not really found a teriyaki place that I loved, but I really loved this place. I was a skeptic, given the location and shopping center that it is in; however, the food was delicious. I had the chicken teriyaki and the General tso chicken combo and it was totally yummy. The General Tso was sweet & spicy. I give the General Tso chicken 5 stars. I will definitely be going back again.

Delicious! Bought chicken fried rice and broccoli beef (19 $). The broccoli beef was a little bit sweet, but I still definitely enjoyed it! The fried rice was exactly what I expected! I recommend 56^th, for sure.

This place is pretty good. Got take out last week. Egg drop soup: About average though a *bit* on the salty side and could use maybe a little more veggies but overall decent. The chow mien (sp?): tasted fine but the noodles were a little too soft for me though my niece LOVED it. Also the gyoza: was pretty awesome.
The best part was the woman working inside (on a Monday night). She was friendly, personable, and was able to hold up a conversation with me while I was waiting (I was the only one there at the moment) and made me feel like I mattered even though it was only a $ 20.00 order.
That’s a huge thing to me… people understanding that their customers matter. It’s about average teriyaki I think but definitely worth stopping by when I’m in the area to try the other stuff they have on the menu. I can see my niece making a point of going there as she loves anything even remotely «Asian.»
The parking lot is almost always full and it’s hard to find a spot to park especially in the day time because the Biomat plasma center is there and they take up more than their fair share of spaces. That was part of the conversation we had while I was waiting and she told me that if I stop by and want to order something and can’t find a place to park just call her and sh will bring it to my car.
That’s what I mean about knowing customers are important. It’s a small thing to do in the larger scheme of things, but it can mean so much to someone who can’t park because… no spot but really just wants to get something to eat right now and not have to deal with going somewhere else.

I remember looking for good teriyaki when I moved to this side of Tacoma. I was not terribly happy with a lot of the sauces I was finding. 56^th serves awesome good at a great price. I have yet to get warm food. It is always hot and delicious. My thanks to the business for taking such good care of me.

Good food for the right price. I decided to donate plasma and because of the long wait I decided to grab a bite to eat. the place is well lite and is in a really good location. I plan on coming back when ever I donate plasma

This is the best teriyaki I’ve had in Tacoma so far, hands down. Ju is so nice and I love having a complementary bowl of egg drop soup while I wait for my meal. They have a wide selection of dishes and boba as well. My favorite is their spicy chicken!

They got free tea and egg plant soup.
The food is good, but this place is under new management and to me they look like they got the same workers.

Located in a little strip mall at the intersection of 56^th and Orchard, this teriyaki joint gets the not yet patented Tacoma Hidden Gem award. I rarely make my way to the south side, but now it seems I have a much better reason to increase my visits. This restaurant isn’t much to look at, although the ordering counter is VERY unique, as it appears to be the back of a ship, sitting in the middle of a little worn down restaurant. The tables are a little crappy, the chairs aren’t super comfy, but the food is excellent!
Spicy Teriyaki Chicken — Now I know that teriyaki chicken is good at lots of different places, but where this place not only makes very good chicken, the spicy teriyaki sauce could very well be the best I’ve ever had. The kick was so intense, I didn’t even reach for the Sriracha, which is usually a staple for me with teriyaki. Not a single piece of chicken was stringy or chewy, and the onions and peppers that were a part of the dish were yummy as well. It was served with plenty of sticky rice, and I have literally no complaints. Also, the portion was gigantic, as most teriyaki places are, and the price was the cheapest I’ve ever seen — only 5.99 and not even during the lunchtime special.
Salad — I don’t like salad, but if I did, I would love this one. The dressing was the goofiest teriyaki-​esque tasting concoction but it was delicious to the point where i actually ate nearly half of it.
For six bucks, this combination of food could keep me satisfied for a year, and I am looking forward to having an excuse to go back to try something new!
