50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Gladstone

“You walk into a nice clean restaurant. It smells great.You look at the prices and think wow just a little spendy, but when you get your order at the table,you understand why. Their portions are big and I mean dinner tonight and lunch tomoŕrow big.The women who was working that evening not only cooked some of the best teriyaki chicken, she was very polite and friendly. The only reasoni gave atmosphere four stars is because we sat outside and it was starting to get sunny, and it got hot. So if they had um umbrellas for their tables I would give perfect scores across the board. The food is worth every penny! Go and treat yourself to a delicious dinner I would take a date there.“

“I picked a lunch spot on a total whim after flying in from Texas, then discovered the best comfort karē outside of Japan. Absolutely incredible, rich flavors that speak for themselves. Nothing is hidden or muddled; the recipe is full bodied, served insanely quick, and with the hospitality of an old friend you haven't seen in years (big shoutout to one-man army Mr. Makoto Yoshino). If you're a veteran that's ever been stationed in Japan, pair this up with Jinro and a Page 11 and it's like you're back in Oki! Seriously though, food was so good I had a borderline religious experience. 11/10 I'll always come here when I visit Portland.“

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

“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.“

“Dinner was amazing. Staff was amazing. just AMAZING. My son took me as a surprise while visiting him from FL. Thank you for making this moment for us. 5 star!“

“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.“

“The hand rolled California roll was delicious and so was the gyoza“

“Excellent food and customer service!

My fiance and I drove to Portland for the day and made the last minute decision to try out a sushi place. Hana Sushi and Izakaya Pearl turned out to be a lovely surprise.

Food was quick and fun as it was distributed on a conveyor belt. We did also order from the menu (a fried tuna roll) which was also fantastic.

For drinks we got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, one with brown sugar pearls, coconut milk and Oreos and the other with just oat milk and Oreos. The drink customization was an awesome surprise--definitely order a drink from them as it will not disappoint!

We will definitely come again if we are ever in the Portland area.“

“This authentic Japanese restaurant not only serves the best traditional Japanese sushi, nigiri and also some new fusion like Portland Hanabi, Aji 3 ways … we had a great meal and forgot to take pictures! Will definitely come back!“

“Super nice counterstaff, delicious takeaway food in a tiny hole in the wall kitchen. Bring a bag and be prepared to eat elsewhere, and watch your step inside there is an unexpected little step just inside the door so be careful entering and exiting! One party at a time, it is a really tiny little place... But you'll be glad you stopped by 😃“

“Excellent pho place close to home. The owner Hung is such a nice guy and always happy to see us back to the restaurant. Their grilled pork vermicelli bowl is so packed with pork that just fill you up.
Just tried their special Pho King bowl at $16.50 the best price around. Happy to support the local restaurant.“

“Great Sushi and Phenomenal Service❣️“

“Had a great lunch here while visiting from out of state. The chicken teriyaki plate portion was generous, the sticky rice was excellent, and the chicken itself had great flavor. What really made the visit was the cook coming out to check on us and chat, such a nice, personal touch. Will definitely be back next time we’re in town!“

“We love this place! We eat here regularly, and truly enjoy the food, cocktails, service, and ambiance. The black cod miso yaki is our favorite dish - it's delicious and I highly recommend it. The veggie and shrimp tempura is the best I've ever had, with an interesting mix of eggplant, mushrooms, squash, lotus root, and onions - all lightly battered and served with a delightful dipping sauce (pour the dipping sauce on the black cod, it's so good). The cocktails, especially the Japanese 75 and the shiso gin drink (I can't think of the name), are well-balanced and mixed properly, and are very yummy. I tell everyone I know to try this place! Some of the food can seem adventurous if you're not familiar with Japanese fare, but it's all delicious and beautifully presented. Finally, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the owner is a very sweet and funny lady. All around, Sushi Kuni is a great dining experience and I highly recommend checking it out.“

“Just moved into the area, decided this would be my first cart I'd try. They do chicken and they do it well! Reasonably priced. Reasonably generous portions of proteins. My only suggestion is cut salad and add more rice! However this is merely a matter of opinion. The important part is the chicken portions are extremely generous. It's delicious and I'm sure I will return! Salad was well dressed without drenching it, potstickers were neither too crispy or soggy, just right. Well done!“

“It is a quaint little joint with a very authentic atmosphere. I called in my order and it was ready to go after calling 8 minutes prior. This establishment does it right as far as teryaki chicken is concerned. Price was right and the food was delicious. Can only imagine that evrything else is just as good. Go give it a try. Tell em James sent you. Maybe they will give you a dollar off? 😉“

“best salmon and squid salad ever!“

“I have been going here eating in person and doing take out for at least 15 years. In all those years I have never been disappointed. The food is excellent and the service to match. The prices have barely changed in all this time with portions being consistent and great value. Two can easily eat here for $30 or less leaving full and happy. Highly recommended to anyone.“

“So I exclusively get tamagos from here but they are very tasty.

I tend to order anywhere from 2-4 max at a time with two tamagos in each order.
(We •used• to order around 6-12 max orders at a time (yes this does in fact mean I would devour 24 tamagos over the course of 2 days. it’s a safe food for me) because they are so good but they raised the prices when the egg prices jumped up in 2025 and never really brought it back down which made that kinda more unsustainable for such a large order so now we rocking the 2-4 count.)

the tamagos are consistent in texture and taste and have never failed to delight me.

The staff is kind and efficient (They sometimes put smiley faces on your takeout box which is cute) and offer miso (both spicy and not) soup while you wait which was very important in the winter cold for making the wait bearable.

My housemate has had a variety of their other sushi’s and has never been disappointed by the quality or taste. This Shushi cart is overall very affordable for the sushi’s they get and it’s their favorite place to get sushi from (which is also their favorite kind of food) so it’s recommended by multiple members of my house.“

“I'm a new fan! Best sushi in Portland! Also the service was incredible. Now in my top five favorites�“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

“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.“

“Great Sushi.. must eat place.“

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

“Yami sushi is easily the best all-around Asian food that you can get in Portland and their difference is in the small detail of each dish, every presentation. Each sushi roll is jampacked with flavor and bursting with ingredients in a perfect harmony and presentation. You can really tell the love that the chefs put into every single roll that they make. The quantity is also very generous, and portions will put you in a satisfying coma afterwards. They have a lot of various menu items, none of which you can go wrong with selecting. Whether that’s noodles, soups, rice dishes, sushi rolls, or the underrated appetizer/starters (spicy edamame 🔥, seaweed salad, tempura) and desserts ( Bing Soo is better than any standalone place in Portland ). They also have a lot of interesting beverage and alcoholic choices. The environment is very family run and cozy, and the real beautiful orchids and plant decorations on each table are very nice touch. The soy sauce is also handmade? I could drink a whole bottle.

The service is always very warm, welcoming and responsive. They take care of you right and it doesn’t take much to feel familiar.

Shout out to the kalbi item on the menu, which is also better than any Korean restaurant I’ve been to in Portland. A place full of hidden gems and lovely individuals working hard in their community.

Tastes like the Korean home I know and love.“

“High quality jet fresh seafood from Tokyo“

“Walk-up to order and pay before eating was nice so we didn't have to wait for a check to leave. The man at the counter was polite. Food was super yummy and my 6 year old said so and she is pretty picky so that's saying something... She also loved the cherry blossom tree and pretty lights they had set up. Very cute“

“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 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!“

“Been twice now, and it's on the list for repeat often. Excellent sushi, love the Tiger roll, but our favorite is the citrus roll and the salmon love lemon. Sake is good, the draft beer is cold. The vibe is great and very welcoming. We have been at 6 and at 8 both times service was good, food was good can't wait to go back.“

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

“This is the best sushi I have ever had.
We frequently eat at this location almost every week. The staff has never been anything short of perfect in every aspect. Our food is always made fresh on the spot.
The staff even know me by face and start my order the moment they see me and it's amazing.
Because of their amazing effort we always tip generously and acknowledge there great customer service skills. The chef is the embodiment of the title chef.

If you haven't I urge you to visit this hidden gem of a restaurant 5 stars all the way.“

“AMAZING to say the least. The atmosphere, the staff, the food and the music were perfect ✨ I will definitely be back“

“Absolutely one of my favorite teriyaki spots near Portland! The incredibly kind and welcoming lady that works the chash register members my order every time!! That kind of customer service is rare and it doesn't hurt the food/ portions are great.“

“Bellissimo locale,pulito,presentazione dei piatti ottima così come il cibo.“

“Loved it! Had a really good night out on the town!“

“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“

“i get the spicy sushi bowl from here all the time, the teriyaki tofu is also delicious. they’re always super kind, and portions are very large. especially in the summer, the bowls are so refreshing.

and this pod of food carts is super cute, definitely worth a walk through the neighborhood for takeout or to eat at the shared picnic tables. generally there are multiple well-behaved dogs at a given time.“

“In my humble opinion this is the best sushi in downtown Portland. Cute little family owned shop, smallest restaurant from I've ever seen. The sushi is always perfect and they have the best and honestly the correct prices for their food.

They offer two combo deals that have a solid mix of sushi. One for $11 and one for $12.

I have never had a bad experience here and when I think about eating sushi this is the place I choose to go to. Absolutely worth it.“

“I don't know why this place is always so empty. The sushi is delicious, and the prices are really good for such a large variety. The staff have been very helpful and kind.“

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

“Our server, Jenny, was so awesome!! We will definitely be back!! We drove down from Seattle, and wanted some yummy food - great choice!“

“The ramen here is always amazing, but they recently started offering sushi and I can’t even express how phenomenal it is. Huge portions of super fresh fish at a REALLY reasonable price. Definitely come try it, an added bonus is that the service is always prompt and friendly! Pictured: spider roll, salmon nigiri, yellowtail nigiri, fatty tuna nigiri, salmon roe with quail egg.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere and great food“

“I would love to give this place five stars. They're are often not open during their scheduled business hours. I've been here multiple times in the last few weeks at 12:00, which is when they say they open yet they are closed. I'm sitting here right now at 12:15 and their food truck is closed.“

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

“Washabi sushi is one of a unique place to try donut and burger sushi. The staffs are pretty nice and friendly. Foods are absolutely delicious and tasty with nice presentations. I would love to come back and introduce my friends to visit this place.“

“THE FOOD! Excellent service. Fabulous food. Wonderful vibe. 🔥🔥🔥“

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