Finally, an authentic Bento Box! Don't let this little hole in the wall, restaurant fool you... It's actually really good! I've been living in Portland for 3 1/2 years now and had yet to find a true, authentic Bento box, other than what Portland calls their version of a Bento Box: steak or chicken on a bed of rice with teriyaki sauce. This one is the real deal. (See for yourself) Place is small, but tasty. Despite what I've heard about service being slow, the staff was very friendly and attentive. We started our meal with a refreshing glass of lychee sake, and a glass of pineapple sake. Both were served cold and refreshing. Great start My friend ordered the Dagon roll, and the Crunch Spicy Tuna roll, which both were excellent. Since my youth, I have loved Bento boxes . And since moving here, the traditional style has been really challenging to find, but this place fits the bill. The tempura was seasoned nicely and served hot, the chicken teriyaki was great, and as you can see, it began with a starter salad with miso dressing and a delicious miso soup, more than enough to eat. Reasonably priced, and even more so for lunch specials. You can't go wrong in this tiny little place with a big heart and big menu.

Recently enjoyed a celebration dinner at Banya. While I would have asked to sit in the unique booths we opted for a table to accommodate an older relative. Our meal was delicious from the shrimp and veggie tempura and gyoza appetizers to the 4 different rolls we tried. My favorite was the Spicy Angel roll (though not very spicy at all). The Lion King wasn't like other restaurants but still very tasty and a good choice. We also ordered the Fire Alarm roll and a simple sweet potato roll. My only negative comment is there was too much rice and a tiny piece of sweet potato. I would prefer more sweet potato and very little rice. Last thing I tried was the chilled pineapple Saki. Highly recommend. It was refreshing and tasty.

Absolutely great! Old school izakaya charm with Western style seating or tatami style floor seating. We stumbled onto the place at 430 pm and they were just getting started, I think. Hostess and sushi chef were friendly and seated us quickly. I glanced into the sashimi glass case and saw beautiful looking grades of hamachi, maguro and sake. We ordered three entrees: tekka don (maguro on rice), a bento with sushi, teriyaki chicken and tempura, and soft shell crab and vegetable tempura. We also ordered rolls of futomaki to be shared. Too, too many positives to list and the negatives were too insignificant to mention. Fantastic sashimi, crispy, light tempura, and fabulous futomaki. Long story short: Visit this place. It's worthy.

This place was our go to sushi place during Covid. Their sushi was very tasty and it was one of my favorite places in Beaverton. Since the opening of their restaurants, we've tried the sit-in option and both times they were disappointing. The food still was decent, however the wait time for the food was terrible. It takes forever for our food to come and both times they brought us the wrong item. The wait staff were very nice and apologized for the slow service. Just don't come here expecting your food right away or all of your food to be correct. We were a party of four, which isn't too large in my opinion. The ambiance was ok, we got to sit in one of those platforms, which created a different experience for us.

Sushi was great! The servers were polite and kind. It was a good atmosphere!
Took my daughter there because she was craving katsu. She got the pork katsu and loved it! I got a sushi plate it was soo fresh and pretty delicious. They are traditional as in they use wasabi on the sushi. I like it that way but if you don’t make sure to request without it!

Most of the food we ordered was actually good and I loved the cute decorations and atmosphere but on that note.The main issue was that it took forever to get our food and for a table of 4 we all received our orders at different times. 2 people received their order then maybe 30 minutes later one of us received part of their order then another 15-20 minutes later we received the rest of it, that was an awful experience in itself.You have to place your order with a QR code that's linked to your table # and you cannot make separate orders so it all goes onto one bill that doesn't get split at the end. This just makes it a little inconvenient for larger groups that plan on paying separately.

This was a nice and cozy little sushi spot for a quick family dinner. We had several specialty rolls including the Naruto, The Portland, White Tiger, Five Alarm and some California Rolls for the Kids. All the rolls had good flavor and a range of flavor profiles. Gyoza Appetizer was crispy and tasty. Edamame were simply prepared and not very notable. Service was good. Would eat here again.
