50 Best Japanese Restaurants near King City

“I go here often & today, 8-7-24, my cashier was Rubi and the cook and her were awesome and so was the food. Good portions, fresh and very friendly. I got the chicken bento with lots of cabbage which I like. I highly recommend them. I usually go in around 10:30 - 11 to get my lunch and miss the rush hr.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“This was our first time here. The restaurant looked very clean. I didn't get the name of the lady taking our order, but she was really nice and helpful with helping us to decide. All 4 of us enjoyed the food here.

The katsu was super tender and moist and reminded me of katsu in Japan. If there's one thing I hate, its overcooked katsu, but theirs was cooked just right.

I got the unagi beef don. The unagi was thick and tasty, and it was a pretty good size piece. The one thing I didn't care for was the beef. Unfortunately, it lacked flavor even with the shichimi togarashi sprinkled on top. But because everyone loved their meals and everything else was tasty, I still have 5 stars. We'll most likely be back again.“

“Anyone can seemingly make sushi seem better by making it more complex, but the real test is whether they can take the simple and make it excellent. Sushi-Ki-ichi does just that. They stick to the simple offerings, leading to an experience that feels less Americanized than other Japanese restaurants. That's not to say I don't love some level of creativity, but you don't need it here. That's because the family that owns Sushi Ki-ichi wants to create an authentic meal - a notion that was confirmed for sure when we had a conversation with the owner. In fact, they take quality to the next level with their equipment and efforts they take to make sure that what they serve is the highest quality, including specific freezers for the fish. We didn't try Sushi Ki-ichi for the first couple of years because we figured that the previous restaurant, a Chinese buffet that had gone downhill and fallen off the cliff, had rebranded and reopened as something new. Now I feel that for those first couple of years, we missed out. This has quickly become my favorite place in Portland. I look forward to any trips I take across town from Vancouver to Tigard, and make a point to stop in and grab a bite.“

“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“

“One of my favorite restaurants! I just love a place that does one dish and does it well. Every time I go to the Portland art museum I always come here afterwards. This food is just so warm and filling I would highly recommend getting the roasted vegetable add-on. The staff is so lovely too. I also love that they have this melon cream soda. It makes me feel like I’m in Japan. Also! Occasionally they have free barley tea and that stuff is delicious!“

“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 enjoy taking my wife here to spoil ourselves. I have had many kinds of Ramen from different places, this will always be a favorite. If you are even the slightest curious about trying the place, seriously, do so. You won't leave hungry.“

“So excited to have another place with vegetarian and vegan sushi in the area! The sushi was good. I do wish they would label their menu so it’s easier to know what appetizers/non-sushi items are vegetarian — there’s a ton of stuff that seems vegetarian, but it’s always hard to know if they’re using sauces or seasonings that have fish.“

“The authentic taste and Japanese atmosphere made by Japanese master chefs are famous
The Japanese bento is great, paired with a variety of classic Japanese dishes, allowing you to enjoy a rich and delicious combination at once!! It includes fried food, barbecue, sushi and sashimi.“

“A storefront teriyaki place with fine food and very nice, helpful staff. I really like their yakisoba, the noodles have a good consistency and the chicken is tender and flavorful. I've been going there for years, and they remember my kids and send special greetings and dishes for them. A real family treat!

Parking: City of Tualatin parking lot a block to the south, don't park in the vets club lot right behind the building as the vets will have your car towed!“

“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.“

“Atmosphere off the rip, is something that must be noted! Incredible. If you've heard of Janken then you have seen the ambiance and the famous white cherry blossom in the middle. Food was fantastic. Service was phenomenal. I've seen and heard that the portion sizes were small, not my opinion at all. We were more than full leaving this place with leftovers to take home. We ordered an array of items off the menu and we were pleased with every single one. The A 5 wagyu was impressive and the bingsu for dessert would be the highlights for myself. I would certainly recommend this place and would most definitely be back to try other items on the menu.“

“This place was a little hidden gem. It’s very hard to find. The hostess was awesome and place makes you feel like you’re in a little ramen joint in Japan. The food was also great! The after taste of the ramen was delicious. The food portions are on the smaller side but that’s probably a good thing to keep us from getting obese lol.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I love sushi avenue it is my favorite place for sushi!

The food: The hurricane roll is my favorite and they even let me order it without being fried although it's absolutely delicious either way. Please note they are very accommodating just explain if you want something changed up save on the side, extra sauce , no cucumber ect. Just adk. Two other rolls I like are the Canby and wilsonville.. really it comes down to what you like their fish is good! Also bonus if you have someone who doesn't like sushi they have a really good dish called creamy chicken yaki udon noodles and is so yummy! It's thick udon noodles and chicken in a creamy sauce with vegetables: cabbage, onions, broccoli and mushroom (I might be missing a vegetable or two). They also have teriyaki chicken and other non sushi options! They do have a kids menu they have the options of sushi or bento with chicken teriyaki. Kind if limited options for kiddos.

The restaurant: One thing I will say is that the entrance area is pretty small, but dine in is usually doable, and of course you can always get it to go. It's in a strip mall and is just a small business nothing fancy here but delicious food!! Easy parking they do have a parking lot. 😊

The service: It is great! Nice staff and reasonable wait time. You will not find your water glass empty here! Also they are very kind if you want a roll made a certain way they are so kind and accommodating!

Pictures will be added next time I go!! Cheers!“

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

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“Great Sushi and Phenomenal Service❣️“

“My husband always orders to go, and their daily special! He loves it. I have been coming here with my son and we are delighted. The food is always what it's pictured. Great taste. They have free miso soup if dining in.. The environment is calm and quiet.

Parking: This location has several restaurants around, so yes, they have a pretty big parking lot to park.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“By far some of the best sushi I've ever had. Great sake and an amazing presentation of food and drinks. The service was kind and helpful with helping us decide. Would come here again no doubt. I highly recommend the miso soup, some of the best I've had.“

“Inexpensive sushi, large quantity, and great taste. $17 for all that fish in the chirashi bowl.. won’t find that anywhere else. Recently I just had their spicy creamy scallops nigiri and man sooo 🤤🤤 🤤“

“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.“

“This is a hidden away ? Gem if you like Japanese food! It is efficient with self order kiosks and service is fast! I ordered the Vegetable Yakisoba with extra vegetables on 2 different occasions. (Well worth the extra $3!) Teriyaki sauce is provided and set's off the flavors! They serve all sorts of food like Teryaki chicken, Fried rice and Ramen! Tbh - if I still ate meat, I would order the Teriyaki chicken!

The food has been consistent with each visit and they don't skimp on the portions! The owner stated " We like to have you walk out FULL AND HAPPY!" This is my New favorite spot to grab some ? noodles and I hope it will become yours too!

Vegetarian options: Vegetable Yakisoba, Vegetable rice, Tofu Teriyaki, Tofu Yakisoba, Tofu Ramen, Kung Pao Tofu, Vegetarian Spring Rolls - Vegetable Potstickers“

“Always fresh and yum!“

“We ordered sushi burritos from this food cart, which had recently increased their prices by $5. We were hesitant to order at first, but we caved because we were craving them and one of us had never tried them before.The service was great! They were out of chicken, but they offered to make us a custom burrito for a small upcharge. However, they later found that they had enough chicken after all, so we didn't have to pay extra.The wrap itself didn't hold up very well. It came apart a few times, which made eating the burrito a bit messy. The seaweed didn't wrap around the sushi fully, which also contributed to the messiness. The parchment paper was also a bit weak, which made it difficult to hold the burrito together.Overall, the food was delicious and filling. However, we don't think it's worth the new price of $15 for a food cart item. We would be more likely to order it again if it was priced at $12. The price increase from $10 to $15 is a bit steep, and we think it's not quite worth the extra money for a food cart item.“

“After googling multiple East Asia restaurants to dine at the winner was Tasty Teriyaki!

When walking in I immediately felt a warm homey vibe!

I was greeted and ordered within seconds upon walking in.

Today I ordered:
(Appetizer)
Spring Rolls
Fried vegetable spring rolls with a side of sweet and sour sauce.
Four come in the order and they are cooked to perfection, flakey yet the perfect crunch!

(Main Dish)
Tofu Teriyaki
Stir-fried tofu in teriyaki sauce with two scoops of rice and salad!
The portion size is definitely worth every penny!
The tofu was cooked to perfection as well as the rice and cabbage blend.

My pallet was shocked at how each entree complimented the other.

The service was amazing as well as the food!

It was exceptionally clean as well as a peaceful and homie place to eat!

When I come back through the area I will for sure be stopping in to have another meal here!

Thanks for the amazing food!

“A good place to eat and in downtown Portland on me 21“

“Is it just a sushi bar? No, it’s much more. They have a wide and varied menu. Many cooked dishes, pork, beef, fish, noodles. All cooked to perfection. Get a seat at the bar and watch the two sushi chefs creating their magic. Great restaurant. A must try if you’re in Hillsboro.“

“It has been a long time since I’ve gone to a teriyaki restaurant because my wife has resisted it. Our friends wanted to go here and, I was excited, and my wife agreed. We both had the chicken teriyaki lunch special, which come with chicken teriyaki on a bed of white rice, a side of either sweet and sour chicken or three pot stickers, and a small side salad with a house dressing. I just assumed the sweet and sour chicken was what I receive in a Chinese restaurant. Boy was I wrong! It was like way over cooked fried chicken. It was so hard that it was difficult to eat and there was absolutely no sweet or sour flavor. My wife said the pot stickers were soft but did not taste very good. Fortunately, the teriyaki chicken was very good and adding the sauce to the rice made the rice very good. The house sauce on the salad was very good. The lunch special came with a soft drink and the entire lunch was $13.50. The lady behind the counter was very nice but speaks Japanese and very little English. I tried to tell her the chicken was almost inedible but she had no idea what I was saying. We do not live in Portland so there is almost no chance we will eat there again but I would recommend the chicken teriyaki with fried rice, which our friends had and they said it was very good.“

“My husband and I went there last night. I’ve been looking for a place that does chicken breast teriyaki. I’ve found it. Their teriyaki sauce is homemade, and it is so good. It has extra flavor. I want to say spice but it’s not spicy my husband got the, sweet-and-sour chicken, and he loved it! I seriously have not had that good of a teriyaki chicken in years!! Thank you Tina.“

“This is a small place tucked away in the Safeway shopping area, just past Dollar Tree. The sushi is fresh all fresh, and their bentos are perfect! Every single menu item we've had here has been mouth watering good! The service is always there when you need them, but they are so great you barely notice them until you need them. It's an intimate setting with each seating area being separated and almost secluded. The artwork is beautiful, and there's a calming atmosphere that just relaxes you while you eat.My husband and I HIGHLY recommend trying this place next time you want good sushi, or a lovely and filling dinner.

Parking: Parking is pretty easy. There are plenty of spaces all around the lot, and quite a lot very close as this place is near the end, away from the bigger shops.“

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

“This hands down is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland OR. It the same quality of other top spots in the US like Nobu , O-Ya , and Morimoto . The location is perfect located in the Pearl district. The chefs are high quality and the fish is extremely fresh. They have a great but simple flavor approach. The service is warm, helpful, and appreciative. I always ask for Joy as she is a true professional and loves providing an exceptional experience on every visit.“

“Yum... early lunch for the goons 🥸🥸🐔🍲🍛 This was the jacks plate.. 🈹️🐉🏮🎎 #Dfooddude #pdxfood #foodblog #checkmeout“

“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“

“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.“

“I have Koya on my list for a while and finally dined there. It was such a great experience! We were able to sit right away at the sushi bar. The miso soup to start is very refreshing. Toro Party and Nigiri are so fresh. I love the thick cut they do on the sashimi. I Would definitely recommend and come back.“

“So good! We keep coming back! Wish they had more on their menu like the other Momiji’s but still the best!“

“I’m from Hawaii, where I’ve enjoyed some of the best chicken katsu! I was excited to try this small teriyaki spot and it did not disappoint! The chicken katsu plate on Friday’s is only $10! Super delicious or as we like to say in Hawaii, “Ono”. ?? The chicken is cooked perfectly with a really good sweet and sour sauce that leaves you wanting more.

Aside from the food, the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which adds to the whole experience. You can tell thatthey care about their customers and the quality of their food. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal, somewhere that is wallet friendly, and excellent service!

P.S. if you can’t already tell from the pic, even my dog is a huge fan of the Chicken Katsu ?“

“Excelent tapas and coctails.“

“The owner takes and prepares the orders himself, so you will wait a while, not so short, not too long, but I assure you that it is worth it, Thank you for your patience, The owner makes an effort and keeps this place afloat because it was her mother (deceased), and I am sure that despite our lack of tolerance and the rudeness she receives, her signs say "OPEN" it is out of LOVE FOR HER.
THANK YOU MR. SHIM. ♥️“

“Fresh rolls, dining area offers variety of seating options much like you will find in a Japanese restaurant. Did not realize that they charge for ginger :( , even though there were two 2️⃣ pieces for two orders. Other restaurants have this as part of the meal.“
