25 Best Japanese Restaurants in Beaverton

“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!!“

“Whenever I come to Oregon to visit family, I always try to eat here. Honestly one of the best sushi restaurants I’ve gone to, the food was IMMACULATE. So good. You can taste the pure authenticity and flavor in their food. The servers are really sweet and kind, some of the nicest I’ve had. This small family owned store felt so cozy and warm like a blanket, it was nice, and felt like being in Japan again. The only thing that people might not like about this is the long wait, but honestly it’s worth it, and I also personally don’t mind. Great place, should try it sometime :)“

“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!!“

“Koya Sushi was spectacular from the very first impression. Everything exceeded expectations—the warm hospitality, the stunning presentation, and, of course, the delicious food. My friend and I arrived close to closing time and didn’t think we’d be seated, but the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which set the tone for the entire experience.
As soon as the food arrived, I couldn't help but notice how amazing the presentation was. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Koya Sushi left such a positive impression that I’m already looking forward to my next visit for more amazing sushi!“

“Very kind and accommodating for my Gluten free needs. Even brought me my own GF soy sauce pot. Beautiful presentation of food and very good food and fresh fish. For GF I did the special on the board of K-skewers chicken no sauce, a veggie roll that they left one thing off that wasn't GF, and a Hawaiian roll. Hubby got a couple other rolls that were great. The wasabi has a pretty good kick to it LOL the ginger is really good.“

“I just got home from an accidental visit to Bamboo Sushi.
I was going to neighboring businesses.
I was hungry and this is one of the few sushi places where I've never eaten.
Well, it turns out that it's one of the very best I've ever visited! A big surprise.
I'm only doing a short review now and hope to add to it soon.
My pictures will tell most of the story.
I looked at a neighboring restaurant and decided not for me.
When I poked my head into Bamboo Sushi, I was immediately impressed with being greeted professionally and she was friendly too. The decor was impressive. Clean, modern. Then when I looked at the menu I knew I was going to eat there now.
As I've said, I have appointments now but I'll try to post some of the pictures before I leave.
Chris was my main server and he was great!
He said that I could use his name but would rather not have his picture taken

Manager(s), Owners, take note. Chris is a big asset to you and your business. I've been many places, he's near the top.“

“A medium sized izakaya Raman shop perfect for an informal dinner.

The three appetizers we had were pretty good, the karage was crunchy and juicy on the inside. What the breading lacked in flavor the zesty Mayo made up for in character. 7.5/10

The ramen was served with excellent portions and at a normal Portland price, about 15 bucks before add-ons. I always add on an egg for good measure. My wife and I both ordered the signature ramen on the menu and it was good, somewhat mild in flavor but still rich. You can tell the tare is made in house and with care. 7.5/10

The service was excellent, considering the price and atmosphere of the restaurant. Wait staff were attentive in picking up plates that were used and quickly serving food. 9/10

The ambiance is nothing to write home about, this isn't a dining experience, this is your local delicious ramen spot. Now Beyonce was frankly unremarkable and that's okay. 6/10

All in all, if a friend wanted to check it out or wanted to eat there, I'd happily oblige. But I've got my own ramen spot closer to my house that I enjoy more so I won't be returning regularly.“

“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.“

“If you’re in the area and love Japanese food, this food truck is an absolute gem you shouldn’t miss. I’ve been a regular customer for quite some time, and it has never disappointed me. The quality of the food is consistently excellent—every bite feels fresh and flavorful. Their California rolls are perfectly balanced with creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and fresh crab. The spring rolls are light, crisp, and make a great starter before diving into their sushi selection.

The sushi itself is where this truck truly shines. The fresh salmon practically melts in your mouth, and their spicy tuna rolls pack just the right amount of heat without overwhelming the flavor of the fish. You can tell the ingredients are carefully chosen and handled with pride, which makes a huge difference.

One thing to note is that the staff’s English is limited, so placing an order might require a bit of pointing or patience. But honestly, that small language barrier is part of the charm—it’s a reminder that this food comes straight from people who know their craft and pour authenticity into every dish.

For anyone who enjoys good Japanese food at great value, this food truck is a local must-visit. It’s earned my loyalty, and I’m sure it’ll win you over too.“

“It's essentially what you'd expect from a casual teriyaki restaurant. Don't come here if you want the highest quality authentic Asian food, but if you want something pretty fast and affordable while still being tasty and filling, this is a solid place with options. The interior is clean and comfortable, but it's also a good place for takeout. I like their beef bulgogi a decent amount, especially for the price.“

“I've been coming here for many years now and they still never disappoint! Sign up for their text offers, they give very generous promotions! I normally don't get tempura rolls or fried rolls in general but this place absolutely changed my views on them! Oh my god it was perfect! Will be coming back for more fresh, generously fat rolls and melt in the mouth pepper tuna sashimi 😋“

“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.“

“Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. The nigiri had very generous cuts of fish and was served at just the right temperature. We were tempted to eat only sushi but we also wanted to try some kitchen dishes and we're glad we did. The miso soup, gyoza, and yakitori were also fabulous!“

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

“Great (mostly) authentic Japanese bakery goods. Does cater somewhat to American/ethnic tastes for some products without impacting the authentic items and everything tastes great. Their anpan and melonpan are perfect representations of tradition, while the edamame curry donuts are great twists for vegans.“

“The shop is small but the food is amazing! Best tteokbokki I've had hands down and their bugolgi is to die for! (pics are of the half eaten dishes, they looked prettier before we dug in lol) The staff is also very friendly and helpful. 10/10“

“My fiance and I visited the other night for the first time and we can’t stop talking about it. The quality for the price is insanely good!! The sushi tasted fresh and was yummy. The service was very friendly and we were checked in on frequently. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I recommend Fried Noodles, Kalua pork with cabbage. Love Palenakas. Wonderful people🌺“

“Always the best sushi, miso, and my kiddos love the bento box, comes with a cute orange cut into a panda face! Staff and owners are very friendly too 🍣“

“Good food, but could use a little more meat in their yakesoba dishes. Good price, too!“

“This is the second time we have gone to Kigaru and we love it! The Ramen is fantastic and the broth has great flavor. Sushi was outstanding and very fresh. Definitely would recommend the restaurant and you can get take out too“

“Love the staff and the food, it’s never a disappointment!“

“Love their $8 chicken teriyaki lunch special. $8.32 if paying with a card. Can't beat this price, and it keeps me full all day. I also love that that they have thick teriyaki sauce. So many places water theirs down, this place doesn't! They have all their sauces in squirt bottles on the counter, so you can squirt as much on as you like for free.“

“Sam is an awesome chef and showman! The food is consistent and always enjoyable.“

“Disclaimer - the hours on Google are incorrect - call before you go to see if they are open.

The food is pretty good, I recommend the bento lunch and the Kalbi.

I’m not a huge fan of the sushi as the vinegar in the sushi rice is a bit overwhelming.

The staff are always great and the music really adds to the atmosphere.

I also recommend the heart attack, agedashi tofu, and shumai.

Enjoy!“
