If humans are mostly made of water, and fish traditionally inhabit water, fish should naturally occur in the human body. Fix this gap in nature’s logic with today’s Groupon: for $8, you get $20 worth of sushi, teriyaki chicken and beef, bubble tea, and more at Happy Teriyaki #4 in Lacey and Tacoma, or at Sunny Teriyaki, in Puyallup.

All three locations entice appetite-wielding hankerers with a menu brimming with tempting combination plates and, at the Lacey and Tacoma locations, creative sushi platters. Sushi not available at the Puyallup location. Stomachs can pregame with appetizers such as the crab rangoon ($5.95) or the deep-fried Happy shrimp ($5.95). Strawberry-peach bubble tea chases entrees such as the teriyaki beef, marinated in the special house sauce ($7.95), or the char-broiled teriyaki chicken ($6.95), pork ($7.95), or salmon ($9.95).

At the Happy Teriyaki #4 locations in Tacoma and Lacey, all-you-can-eat sushi ($14.95 Monday–Saturday; the price reduces to $12.95 Monday–Saturday 11 a.m.–3 p.m. at the Lacey location) dares seafeeders to down piece after piece of inventive concoctions. The rainbow roll tops a california roll with avocado and four different fish, while the Yummy Yummy roll blends crab meat, avocado, shrimp tempura, and cream cheese. Each restaurant welcomes hungry travelers with a casual vibe that encourages diners to cast off suits and ties in favor of more comfortable bell-bottoms and Happy Days sweatpants.
