Lakeo Steakhouse of Japan Express — Restaurant in Elizabethton

The food isn’t bad. WHEN you can ever get them to answer the phone. You try to call in a to go order, can take up to an hour to answer. You can’t go by their own posted hours. Saturday’s...opened at 4pm, which is weird in itself to open so late on a Saturday. But that’s ok. We wait. We’ve been waiting since noon, been calling for almost an hour. No answer. We go through this each and every time, for the past 18 months. Apparently they open when they decide to get there-posted hours or not. So we just ordered from another Japanese restaurant. They answered first ring, opened sooner, was cheaper, and tasted the same. ETA We moved here 18 months ago. Not once have we ever seen more than one person eating inside. The first time we ever went, we were expecting more. So we left. Then we realized that they were more suitable for quick, to go orders. IF YOU CAN EVER GET...

This place is excellent! I moved to Elizabethton from Johnson City and couldn't find a restaurant to replace my favorite Japanese steakhouse Yamato. To be honest I didn't find any Asian food in Elizabethton that really satisfied me until I tried Lakeo. They have rapidly become my favorite restaurant here and I eat there about once weekly. I get the chicken teriyaki with mushrooms and sweet carrots and it is always delicious especially with a sizeable portion of mushrooms since they're an additional add on that I can't go without. Their spring rolls are also exceptional, crispy and flaky with tender cabbage, onion and carrots inside. The experience is always consistent and though it's drive through only, the food stays plenty hot enough to drive home or eat near the covered...

#EatSomeWhereElse #FoodsNotThatGreat This place used to have amaizing food and great customer service. However the last 4 times that I ordered from here I always order extra rice with my meal and I NEVER get any more then anyone else that don't order extra rice. However, each time I am charged for extra rice. And they did not use to charge for extra shrimp sauce but now they charge $1 each for one little cup of sauce. It's ridiculous. And the past 2 times the food just was not good at all. It did not even taste like Japanese food. I spend over $40 every time I eat at this restaurant but after the past 4 experiences, I won't spend another dime with them. My advice is Go somewhere else to eat or save your money. The food is just not worth your hard earned...
