“This little tiny place has great chicken and beef teriyaki, Angry Orchards ,and a perfect little hiding spot to sneak to and hide out and play poker! What else do you need? Plus the Employees are quick and polite,and leave you alone! Sweet!“

“The husband and I were on a ramen rampage, and the weather was our perfect excuse. Then, out of nowhere, we stumbled upon this restaurant. The service was spot-on, the food arrived in record time, and that ramen? Sheer perfection. The broth was a flavor bomb, the chashu was tender and divine, and those noodles? Freshly made and sublime. We left feeling like we just discovered ramen nirvana.“

“Excellent! Fast, friendly service and absolutely delicious food. We had the tempura udon and curry plate. We also enjoyed the sake flight. Cannot wait to go back.“

“Unquestionably the best katsu curry I've ever had. I seriously had a Ratatouille moment eating this curry; making this their specialty was a brilliant move. The staff is friendly and the food arrives quickly (~5 minutes). The beef katsu curry with a Sapporo was exactly what I needed after a long hike.“

“This place is one of a kind. The food was deliciously balanced and nuanced. Every dish we indulged in was so wonderful. It is a charming intimate spot and will be a go to whenever we visit Portland. The staff was also wonderful and so accommodating. Thank you again for the wonderful experience“

“I was looking for a place to pick up an onigiri in the morning from time to time, and this place opens at 9am which is great! Really cute shop, they have taiyaki, musubi, and a nice variety of onigiri, and it is affordable and exactly what you want. There is really nothing quite like this in the Portland area...its a little treasure. The staff are so friendly, i will be sure to recommend this place to all my passengers, friends, and family!“

“I came around 3 pm after returning stuff at UPS. I saw the Japchae poster on the wall and read a lot of reviews.

I chose to try Galbi as I haven’t had it for a while and people said it is good. It did not disappointed. Will come back to try japchae wity bulgogi beef next time.

Big portion for the price. Will be my to go place for my Galbi/ bulgogi/ Japchae fix in the future! Like the portion of the salad too.“

“Amazing food, gorgeous location, great atmosphere. Have never had anything we didn’t love here. Our favorite sushi around and we’ve tried them all 💖.“

“We love the food here and always take friends and family when they are in town. The service was extremely slow this time. Ramen came out for those who ordered it way before our sushi was ready. We had an amazing experience over the summer and the last two times have been lacking in service and atmosphere. It was busy, we had a party of 7. Seated pretty quickly, but the rest was slow. Other tables received orders before we did. Hope to continue going and have better luck next time.“

“Quaint no frills Japanese restaurant serving home made udon. You must come during lunch hours and try the Teisho lunch set which offers a rotating fish dish depending on what's in season alongside an assortment of side dishes including sashimi. The quality of food here is just as good if not better than what you can find in Japan and don't forget to get a pint of Kirin on draft served in an ice cold mug. The waitresses are also very kind and will make sure you feel welcome and enjoy your meal.“

“The staff here is fantastic! It’s your “average” teriyaki, nothing special but not bad at all, decent price for the portions and you get potstickers with your dish if you’d like for an additional $1-2. Not my favorite sauce and the spicy version isn’t spicy at all.“

“I don’t how this nigga Ricky make his sushi but ever since I decided to try it on DoorDash one day I get sushi from here at least 1-2 times a week. I’ve never been there as I’ve only ordered through DoorDash but the consistency it has and the fact that it tastes better than most places when ordered online def says something. The dragon roll is my go to, best I’ve had for the price. I usually don’t spend more $15 on food but Ricky got me spending at least $30 and I’m happy every damn time. I have never left a food review but I ordered some tonight and got some amazing free miso soup, cheers to all the people there“

“The food is great, the staff are extremely nice, the service is amazing. Overall 10 out of 10. And the ramen is really good! As someone who doesn't go out to eat often and going there for the first time, I would go again if I had another chance to go.“

“best salmon and squid salad ever!“

“I used to eat here alot over a decade ago while attending PSU and the food and service was always amazing. A very kind lady used to run it. I was in the area handling some permitting and stopped by once again. I was surprised to see her son still running it and decided to get a plate. I absolutely recommend you try this place 100%! Great friendly service, plenty of parking, great food at a great price...the prices are almost the same as 15 years ago! The food is delicious, comes quick, big portions, and overall an absolute must eat when near the area. You won't regret it!“

“Sushi Kata is a long established Milwaukie Japanese kitchen serving truly authentic Japanese dishes at a reasonable price, even for the current economy!

I spent a number of years in various prefectures of Japan and Sushi Kata brings the flavors and quality of the food back to me each time I go there.

From the sashimi and nigiri, rolls and hand rolls, to the katsu curry and thick udon noodles. Sushi Kata is the best Japanese food experience you'll find in the Portland area. Others may have a prettier atmosphere, but if it's authentic Japanese cuisine you are looking for, Sushi Kata is the place.“

“Absolutely delicious and super fresh ingredients. I would be in trouble if I lived closer. I had a seared salmon roll that I'll be dreaming about until I come back. This might be the best sushi I've had in the Pacific Northwest so far!!“

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

“Really delicious, and so happy to have a Japanese sandwich cart in Portland. I loved the Pork katsu!“

“Umai is my go-to teriaki place in West Linn. I usually get the bulgogi, chicken katsu, and the yakisoba. I like to get them with steamed vegetables and make more white rice at home and we can feed 5 people plus left overs for the next meal.“

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

“You can tell this chef is very passionate about cooking. Each dish is plated so beautifully. The menu is seasonal with high end local produce from the farmers market. The staff is very warm. The interior is very nice, with very nice furniture(eg marble or quartz tables, I believe). It’s not inherently the chefs fault, but at this price point, the food is not what we really crave? Also, we were kind of feeling hungry with such a carb light menu. We just split one medium meat dish, so we do eat less protein than average? But I feel like it’s not enough food for vegetarians fyi. They did GRACIOUSLY make us some handmade tortillas off the menu and essentially didn’t charge us. Plus, we received complementary dessert wine tasting, since we complained about wanting some bread or tortillas. One bummer about this was that no one followed up about our request until we asked three different servers. Overall, I think this could be a great place. But just not for us at the moment.“

“Perfection in the mind's eye in every regard.

Flavor, freshness, execution of literally every single detail (even ones you don't think about until you're made to notice), and the fact it's all accessibly priced kinda made me cry when i tried food from here the other day.

For lack of a quicker comparison, this is like Elden Ring coming out after years of being told the best you can get is sysco-sourced AAA reboots of the same "deliverable" concepts.

I want to experience this place's food for the rest of my life.

I just woke up, but this was very much in my dreams last night after yesterday's dinner, so I was compelled to just get something out. I'll come back some other time to detail the experience.“

“I went here for the first time tonight (Friday, 6/30) at 5:15 PM. It was fabulous! Our server went out of the way with us, including looking into different types of tequila they have so my mom could have the perfect margarita. The food came out very quickly, our water was always full, and the ambiance was great. We had delicious chicken gyoza, shrimp gyoza, ebi tem, and chicken karaage don. It's some of the best Japanese food we've had in the Happy Valley/Clackamas area in a long time. We will definitely be back!“

“Great Sushi and Phenomenal Service❣️“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

“Ordered take out and loved our food—even my two toddlers downed it! 😊👍“

“We were pleasantly surprised after we took a chance with this adorable restaurant. It's tucked away in a small shopping center off of 82nd in Clackamas.
The service was quick and friendly. They have an extensive Sushi menu, as well as other Japanese offerings like Tempura, Teriyaki, and Ramen. The prices are reasonable for the fare. We arrived at 730 on a Sunday night. By 8PM, they had more than half the tables full. This place was exactly what we wanted. We will be back.“

“Oh! Teriyaki is one of our favorite places. They have excellent food at a great price. The staff is always friendly and inviting. We usually call our order in and it is ready in about 10 minutes. I also highly recommend buying a bottle of their famous Teriyaki Sauce!“

“We came here last Saturday for our family lunch. It’s worth the drive. The food was delicious—it’s like eating sushi but healthier. I usually get tired and bored of eating sushi, go round or just regular sushi as it tends to be repetitive, but this was an excellent choice. They add good portions veggies to your plate, and I love veggies. The portions of meat were more than we expected. I definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to try some new fusion sushi-style food.“

“I love me some teriyaki bowl, and because I am on the road all day with my job, I get the opportunity to try several different restaurants on a monthly basis. This is one of the best, and Jonathan and his team make fantastic food and have created a very friendly environment. I will definitely be returning.“

“Delicious sushi burritos w/lots of options! I’ll be back to try them all.“

“Best � around hands down. Keep returning, the wait is well worth it�� very popular, come early. Their sushi � burritos are A-MAZ-ING.“

“Greetings ?.

Got treated to lunch here and it was pretty good. Ordered the special, Mongolian Chicken, and it was a good price at $10.99. Tasty with a kick, good meat and veggie to rice ratio. Would definitely get again.

Enjoy watching the Koi fish and place has a relaxing atmosphere. Food came in a timely manner and excellent service.

Thank you ?.“

“I've been eating here since 2015 and ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place. Top notch sushi with a wonderful staff. This is my 1st choice place for sushi in Portland Oregon“

“I’ll admit that when I walked in I was not exactly encouraged by its style. But what Bentoz may lack it decoration it makes up for in the quality of its food. My 3 other family members had the chicken teriyaki and I had the bibimbap myself and it was really good. So good that on the first bite I literally said “Wow, this is really good” in the middle of the restaurant. Definitely recommend for anyone who happens to be staying/visiting in the area“

“Prepared and delivered quickly. Everything was delicious! Aloha poke, musubi, salmon rolls, tuna rolls and shrimp tempura. Hearty portions were filling. I have an injury and was unable to go in person. So glad we chose this for delivery. Definitely recommend!“

“awesome food great service!“

“I really like this place.

Good food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere with all the plants.

Had the Bulgogi Beef Plate upon suggestion and did not disappoint.

Great job all around!“

“Some of the best sushi in Portland for decades, going back to when it was Sushi Takahashi 2 (at a different location). Highly recommended. Great options for vegetarian sushi as well!

Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options available, and when they're not too busy, the chef makes fantastic custom rolls as well.“

“Great food, fast service and great atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Great Sushi.. must eat place.“

“The owner and staff are amazing! Got to know me quickly and are always so friendly and professional! The food is excellent and can’t be the quality you get for the price! I would eat here everyday if I could!!“

“Me and my spouse love this place the price is great the amount of chicken you get it amazing you definitely get what you paid for its $28 to get 2 plates with double chicken the double chicken is $2.99 and you get a lot

Kid-friendliness: My kids love going to Clackamas town center with me n my spouse“

“I don't really like visiting here because of neighbor hood . Located near Homeless Camps and allot of Apartments . So people have easy access . I have seen fights there , car wrecks , drug deals , dogs get hit by cars . Tents across the street . Bad location for friendly nice people . I think the food is not really cooked properly and the drinks taste not so good . The workers or owners are not so helpful.“

“High quality jet fresh seafood from Tokyo“

“First time here ! Sushi was amazing ! Tried sake for the first time and it was yummy !“

“Food was delicious and good prices“

“It never takes more than between 10 to 15 minutes for my takeout to be ready! They wear masks and are Covid conscious! The food is excellent!!“

“Nice little high end food court with craft beer, cocktails, ramen etc.“
