10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Gresham

“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.“

“I can’t believe it took us so long to come try out Muteki! The decor is so cute, but most importantly their food goes CRAZY- I was so excited to try I forgot to take a pic before having a few bites of the black garlic ramen hahaha. The noodles are nice and thick with a good bite, and the chashu pork is thick cut and pre seared- it’s SO good!

I also have to say that I saw a review dinging the prices- their bowls def cost a couple bucks more than other spots, but I’d have to argue that it’s fully worth the price both in value and quantity. They’re practically pho bowls, and on top of that they do NOT hold back on toppings. We each got a full egg instead of just a half, and SO much pork! Also plenty of bamboo shoots and mushrooms to enjoy 🥰 Realistically we could have split one bowl and still been full. I’m stoked to come back and try their dumplings next time!

The one thing to note- if you park in the parking lot by Red Robin you’ll be able to enter through that side, but there isn’t a door chime to let the staff know someone’s arrived. We showed up while it was slow, so we crossed the restaurant to open the front door to let them know we were here and someone immediately came to seat us, but if we hadn’t done that they may have not realized we were there right away!“

“I love Bento Plus. There stuff is great and not too expensive. The couple who owns the place works there pretty much all the time, and they are lovely. I hightly recommend this restaurant.“

“I love this place. I stop by after work and always get their chicken and beef and its the best! Today i got their lunch special. service is great. I highly recommend this place to all my family & friends. Even customers at my job. Stop by and check them out.“

“As someone who has been eating here for years— This is THE place to eat! A small business whose food is at an affordable price you don't see anymore, but the food is absolutely delicious! Everything is all under $20!! What a steal!!
Everything always tastes fresh and cooked to perfection. The sauces are absolutely delicious, made in house! If you are worried about your dish being too saucy or spicy, you decide how much to your dish yourself via sauce cup. Understandable if the sauces are too spicy for your taste buds (no judgement here). If you want more sauce, just let the workers know to add an additional lil sauce cup and they'll happily add it for you.

Our favorite is the #19— it is the perfect balance of meat, veggies, noodles, and sauce. Other recommended items are the #2 & #12, but honestly all are good.
Thai iced tea is great❤️ you can switch the cream to whichever option available if you can't have milk.

Workers are always welcoming and helpful if you have any questions.
Place is very clean and have a bathroom if you need.“

“I had never tried this spot until I started working less than 5 min away. But I quickly fell in love, and will always stop by when I need a pick me up. Their gyozas are delish and their yakisoba noodles are so thick and yummy, with the veggies tasting very good as well.“

“Great Sushi i go for happy hour 3-pm,love the spring rolls and shrimp tempura and salmon“

“Now listen, ignore those last couple negative reviews. I have been a technician working out here in Gresham for a long time and I usually stop in this Joy Teriyaki for a bite whenever I am on a job nearby. I dont normally get involved in these online things but I saw some reviews that just do not make any sense.

I see a couple peeps talking about boycotting this place and saying they do not respect law enforcement. I think you folks have the wrong location entirely. There are several Joy Teriyakis around and they are all franchises (different owners). Even the top photo on this page posted by a customer is a completely different location!
Just last month I was in here and saw the cashier and our folks in red and blue having a perfectly normal and respectfull interaction. No issues at all. Plus there has been a army recruiting office just a couple doors down for over a decade now and I never see any of those guys complaining here!
It is a real shame to see a local business get a bad reputation just because someone likely clicked the wrong spot on there map. You folks posting that hate clearly ment to put it on a different shop.
God bless.“

“This place is so underrated!! Their Galbi (beef short-ribs) was DELICIOUS. I didn't have any expectation to be honest. I was hungry and craving Galbi and happened to be around that area. The portion was generous too. We made the special order so it might seems plated differently from the regular bowls and plates.

I'm not even a big fan of teriyaki places but this one surprised me. It is run by a Korean elderly couple. They were super nice. I wish they could gain more customers and sustain because I really like it but I live far from there. I’m definitely going back there whenever I swing by the Gresham area.“

“These types of places are normally hit or miss this one was a hit really good good food good service I felt like“
