50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Aloha

“We used to frequent this restaurant many years ago. After a long absence, we came back and found that the restaurant is now mainly Thai food. We had the Red Curry and Drunken Noodles. Both were generous portions, and the prices were very reasonable.? I would like to try other dishes again.?“

“The best gluten free ramen. The service and atmosphere are perfect here and I will continue to visit anytime I’m in town. 10/10 ❤️ Wish they had more locations!!“

“This was our first time here. The restaurant looked very clean. I didn't get the name of the lady taking our order, but she was really nice and helpful with helping us to decide. All 4 of us enjoyed the food here.

The katsu was super tender and moist and reminded me of katsu in Japan. If there's one thing I hate, its overcooked katsu, but theirs was cooked just right.

I got the unagi beef don. The unagi was thick and tasty, and it was a pretty good size piece. The one thing I didn't care for was the beef. Unfortunately, it lacked flavor even with the shichimi togarashi sprinkled on top. But because everyone loved their meals and everything else was tasty, I still have 5 stars. We'll most likely be back again.“

“Anyone can seemingly make sushi seem better by making it more complex, but the real test is whether they can take the simple and make it excellent. Sushi-Ki-ichi does just that. They stick to the simple offerings, leading to an experience that feels less Americanized than other Japanese restaurants. That's not to say I don't love some level of creativity, but you don't need it here. That's because the family that owns Sushi Ki-ichi wants to create an authentic meal - a notion that was confirmed for sure when we had a conversation with the owner. In fact, they take quality to the next level with their equipment and efforts they take to make sure that what they serve is the highest quality, including specific freezers for the fish. We didn't try Sushi Ki-ichi for the first couple of years because we figured that the previous restaurant, a Chinese buffet that had gone downhill and fallen off the cliff, had rebranded and reopened as something new. Now I feel that for those first couple of years, we missed out. This has quickly become my favorite place in Portland. I look forward to any trips I take across town from Vancouver to Tigard, and make a point to stop in and grab a bite.“

“Husband and I were visiting from Salem, in the area to buy a car. Decided last min to eat here and we're happy we did! It's in the basement of a charming building, and the atmosphere was perfect and relaxing. Seems you can enter from two different doors/sides of building. Service was friendly, professional and quick. Food waa delicious. Would definitely go back for a nice date.“

“A storefront teriyaki place with fine food and very nice, helpful staff. I really like their yakisoba, the noodles have a good consistency and the chicken is tender and flavorful. I've been going there for years, and they remember my kids and send special greetings and dishes for them. A real family treat!

Parking: City of Tualatin parking lot a block to the south, don't park in the vets club lot right behind the building as the vets will have your car towed!“

“I enjoy taking my wife here to spoil ourselves. I have had many kinds of Ramen from different places, this will always be a favorite. If you are even the slightest curious about trying the place, seriously, do so. You won't leave hungry.“

“So excited to have another place with vegetarian and vegan sushi in the area! The sushi was good. I do wish they would label their menu so it’s easier to know what appetizers/non-sushi items are vegetarian — there’s a ton of stuff that seems vegetarian, but it’s always hard to know if they’re using sauces or seasonings that have fish.“

“The authentic taste and Japanese atmosphere made by Japanese master chefs are famous
The Japanese bento is great, paired with a variety of classic Japanese dishes, allowing you to enjoy a rich and delicious combination at once!! It includes fried food, barbecue, sushi and sashimi.“

“Of all the cities I have eaten sushi in 40 years including Tokyo London New York Los Angeles and too many others to list, THIS IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER ENJOYED!!“

“This place was a little hidden gem. It’s very hard to find. The hostess was awesome and place makes you feel like you’re in a little ramen joint in Japan. The food was also great! The after taste of the ramen was delicious. The food portions are on the smaller side but that’s probably a good thing to keep us from getting obese lol.“

“Sho is our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. Katsu and his team are awesome.“

“Love this place!! Been here many (20+) times. This is our "GO TO" spot for Teriyaki style food in Hillsboro. Very nice Owner/operator (assuming since I've only seen him and the cook working)... Food is very constantly good!!! The soup is awesome! It has a to-go vibe atmosphere.... Again, great food!!!“

“Call ahead and get your grind on at home. Please support your favorite Mama 😉“

“Probably the best sushi EVER!!!! Rolls are massive.“

“Small place with absolutely delicious food. Good portions for what you pay. The young lady working the counter was super cheerful and kind. Will return!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter was with me (9 years old at the time) and loved it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Doesn't have an automatic door that I noticed, but it is on the first floor and the door is wide enough to handle a wheelchair. The counter and several tables are lower to the ground, so the whole thing overall is pretty accessible as long the person in the wheelchair can handle opening the door.“

“My husband always orders to go, and their daily special! He loves it. I have been coming here with my son and we are delighted. The food is always what it's pictured. Great taste. They have free miso soup if dining in.. The environment is calm and quiet.

Parking: This location has several restaurants around, so yes, they have a pretty big parking lot to park.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“By far some of the best sushi I've ever had. Great sake and an amazing presentation of food and drinks. The service was kind and helpful with helping us decide. Would come here again no doubt. I highly recommend the miso soup, some of the best I've had.“

“Inexpensive sushi, large quantity, and great taste. $17 for all that fish in the chirashi bowl.. won’t find that anywhere else. Recently I just had their spicy creamy scallops nigiri and man sooo 🤤🤤 🤤“

“Always fresh and yum!“

“We ordered sushi burritos from this food cart, which had recently increased their prices by $5. We were hesitant to order at first, but we caved because we were craving them and one of us had never tried them before.The service was great! They were out of chicken, but they offered to make us a custom burrito for a small upcharge. However, they later found that they had enough chicken after all, so we didn't have to pay extra.The wrap itself didn't hold up very well. It came apart a few times, which made eating the burrito a bit messy. The seaweed didn't wrap around the sushi fully, which also contributed to the messiness. The parchment paper was also a bit weak, which made it difficult to hold the burrito together.Overall, the food was delicious and filling. However, we don't think it's worth the new price of $15 for a food cart item. We would be more likely to order it again if it was priced at $12. The price increase from $10 to $15 is a bit steep, and we think it's not quite worth the extra money for a food cart item.“

“I have Koya on my list for a while and finally dined there. It was such a great experience! We were able to sit right away at the sushi bar. The miso soup to start is very refreshing. Toro Party and Nigiri are so fresh. I love the thick cut they do on the sashimi. I Would definitely recommend and come back.“

“Is it just a sushi bar? No, it’s much more. They have a wide and varied menu. Many cooked dishes, pork, beef, fish, noodles. All cooked to perfection. Get a seat at the bar and watch the two sushi chefs creating their magic. Great restaurant. A must try if you’re in Hillsboro.“

“After googling multiple East Asia restaurants to dine at the winner was Tasty Teriyaki!

When walking in I immediately felt a warm homey vibe!

I was greeted and ordered within seconds upon walking in.

Today I ordered:
(Appetizer)
Spring Rolls
Fried vegetable spring rolls with a side of sweet and sour sauce.
Four come in the order and they are cooked to perfection, flakey yet the perfect crunch!

(Main Dish)
Tofu Teriyaki
Stir-fried tofu in teriyaki sauce with two scoops of rice and salad!
The portion size is definitely worth every penny!
The tofu was cooked to perfection as well as the rice and cabbage blend.

My pallet was shocked at how each entree complimented the other.

The service was amazing as well as the food!

It was exceptionally clean as well as a peaceful and homie place to eat!

When I come back through the area I will for sure be stopping in to have another meal here!

Thanks for the amazing food!

“Fresh food at a reasonable price, loved my own pot of green tea:). I’ll be back!“

“I go here often & today, 8-7-24, my cashier was Rubi and the cook and her were awesome and so was the food. Good portions, fresh and very friendly. I got the chicken bento with lots of cabbage which I like. I highly recommend them. I usually go in around 10:30 - 11 to get my lunch and miss the rush hr.“

“It has been a long time since I’ve gone to a teriyaki restaurant because my wife has resisted it. Our friends wanted to go here and, I was excited, and my wife agreed. We both had the chicken teriyaki lunch special, which come with chicken teriyaki on a bed of white rice, a side of either sweet and sour chicken or three pot stickers, and a small side salad with a house dressing. I just assumed the sweet and sour chicken was what I receive in a Chinese restaurant. Boy was I wrong! It was like way over cooked fried chicken. It was so hard that it was difficult to eat and there was absolutely no sweet or sour flavor. My wife said the pot stickers were soft but did not taste very good. Fortunately, the teriyaki chicken was very good and adding the sauce to the rice made the rice very good. The house sauce on the salad was very good. The lunch special came with a soft drink and the entire lunch was $13.50. The lady behind the counter was very nice but speaks Japanese and very little English. I tried to tell her the chicken was almost inedible but she had no idea what I was saying. We do not live in Portland so there is almost no chance we will eat there again but I would recommend the chicken teriyaki with fried rice, which our friends had and they said it was very good.“

“The food was absolute amazing. Best i ever had!!�“

“This is a small place tucked away in the Safeway shopping area, just past Dollar Tree. The sushi is fresh all fresh, and their bentos are perfect! Every single menu item we've had here has been mouth watering good! The service is always there when you need them, but they are so great you barely notice them until you need them. It's an intimate setting with each seating area being separated and almost secluded. The artwork is beautiful, and there's a calming atmosphere that just relaxes you while you eat.My husband and I HIGHLY recommend trying this place next time you want good sushi, or a lovely and filling dinner.

Parking: Parking is pretty easy. There are plenty of spaces all around the lot, and quite a lot very close as this place is near the end, away from the bigger shops.“

“My husband and I went there last night. I’ve been looking for a place that does chicken breast teriyaki. I’ve found it. Their teriyaki sauce is homemade, and it is so good. It has extra flavor. I want to say spice but it’s not spicy my husband got the, sweet-and-sour chicken, and he loved it! I seriously have not had that good of a teriyaki chicken in years!! Thank you Tina.“

“I just ordered delivery from Lu’s through DoorDash, and it was my first time trying their food. It was SO GOOD!! Best meal I’ve had in a long while! I got the chicken thigh yakisoba and it was flavorful, tasted fresh, and wasn’t soggy like some yakisoba tends to be. Thank you for making delicious food and staying open for delivery during the COVID outbreak! Definitely a new favorite, highly recommend!! 💕 Great price too!“

“I’m from Hawaii, where I’ve enjoyed some of the best chicken katsu! I was excited to try this small teriyaki spot and it did not disappoint! The chicken katsu plate on Friday’s is only $10! Super delicious or as we like to say in Hawaii, “Ono”. ?? The chicken is cooked perfectly with a really good sweet and sour sauce that leaves you wanting more.

Aside from the food, the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which adds to the whole experience. You can tell thatthey care about their customers and the quality of their food. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal, somewhere that is wallet friendly, and excellent service!

P.S. if you can’t already tell from the pic, even my dog is a huge fan of the Chicken Katsu ?“

“On March 6, 2021 we ordered catering services from Zen teriyaki and Beaverton. The quality of service and food was amazing and the price point was spot on as well. We ordered their standard catering package and added on salad and 20 Eggrolls total cost before tipping was about $170.00. This was enough good for about 16 people. We only had 12 people, we ate the rest the next day as leftovers. I will use them in the future and I would highly recommend them to anybody who is looking for high-quality food with great service.“

“Yum... early lunch for the goons 🥸🥸🐔🍲🍛 This was the jacks plate.. 🈹️🐉🏮🎎 #Dfooddude #pdxfood #foodblog #checkmeout“

“Food was great, service was outstanding, and the price was right!!! I will become a regular.“

“I ordered the beef and chicken teriyaki. The chicken was a bit dry and chewy, but the beef was good. Portion sizes were generous, and I loved the complimentary miso soup and tea bar. The prices were reasonable, making it a decent overall experience.“

“The karaage chicken is extremely flavorful and tender, while also being crispy. Mix in some gyoza and you've got the perfect meal. Great portion size, especially for the price. The pickled cabbage could use a bit more pickling to really stand up to the richness of the chicken, but it felt very Japanese in that it was more delicately flavored.This cart pod has tons of seating, booze, and way too many vegan places.“

“Fresh rolls, dining area offers variety of seating options much like you will find in a Japanese restaurant. Did not realize that they charge for ginger :( , even though there were two 2️⃣ pieces for two orders. Other restaurants have this as part of the meal.“

“Beautiful restaurant and wonderful atmosphere. You select your food on a tablet at your table and they bring it when it's ready. Great experience and good waiting times. Best sushi I've had in awhile. I've now declared it the go-to sushi spot“

“We had a few different rolls today and omg best sushi ever. Will be back tomorrow for lunch and again on Saturday! Absolutely LOVE the rewards program and the staff was quick and amazing. -lincoln city location-“

“I've lived a mile away from this place for about two years now and am extremely disappointed I didn't try it sooner! Everyone is so very friendly, had the yakisoba and spicy pork, not only was it great and the container packed to the brim I couldn't believe how much meat was in it, especially for the price!“

“When you sign up, they offer a complimentary item on Saturdays, and today's complimentary item was salmon collar. I love their salmon and ikura (salmon roe) bowl and used to order it for takeout often during the COVID pandemic. This time, we got two dinner bento boxes. The bento lets you choose two items, so my husband chose bulgogi and mixed tempura, while I went with salmon teriyaki and sashimi. Japanese food is often pricey with small portions, but here, the prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the taste is authentically Japanese. We'll definitely be coming back to try more!?“

“Sambi is always delicious and with excellent service! In nearly 17 years of eating here I’ve never had a bad meal or a bad time. It was busy tonight but the food was definitely worth the wait and the service is always so friendly and exceptional. It’s always a joy to come and I can’t wait to come back for more delicious Japanese food! ??“

“Some of the best Asian fusion that I’ve had in a very long time.“

“The rolls here are great! I typically get the Takuma roll and the Oregon roll, and they're both incredibly flavorful. I also really love the portions for the price, I can get two rolls for about $26- which is way cheaper than other sushi places in Hillsboro. The service is great, and it's a nice little location. I'd definitely recommend this to any sushi lovers looking to try something new.“

“Absolutely the most delicious sushi I’ve had in years!!!“

“Oyatsupan brings a classic japanese bakery to the PNW. This is a must stop for anything between Curry Pan and Egg Sandwiches. The curry pan is especially good since this isn’t your typical curry pan. This closely resembles something you would find in Japan, Tokyo Station. Went on a sunday morning and this place has plenty of room. But no Cocolate Cornets were found.“

“This was my first time and it was very good and the service was amazing ✌️“

“This place is amazing! The rolls are huge and the lobster crunch roll is a must.“

“This is a lowkey spot my wife and I like to go to from time to time. As good as the food is, It’s surprisingly not busy every time I’m here. Service is great, food comes out hot, ready and quick. They have really good chicken teriyaki with the best teriyaki sauce!“
