We chose the Chef’s Dinner which gave us an appreciation for the chef’s creativeness. Loved every bite. Pacing of the meal was just right. The staff were super friendly and also enthusiastic about the restaurant’s cuisine. Would highly recommend if you desire an innovative, colorful, and flavorful dining experience.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I have been trying to eat here for a while and I keep forgetting and when I do remember it's closed. I finally went and made it and I got the Miso Tofu and it was amazing. It was big enough but not too big. Perfect portion and light flavor which is what i wanted. I didn't want something big like a burrito and this was perfect. Friendly staff and welcoming vibe. It's a walkin venue you can't sit down. You order and take your food outside. To drink we got the Cold Brew Matcha Green Tea Unsweetened. Very refreshing and no sugar but it had a somewhat sweet aftertaste but not too sweet. I would go back and try the other selctions.”

“Overall, the restaurant was okay. I appreciated the chef’s inspiration behind each dish. For instance, the scallop and milk bread were exceptional. However, the steak was unevenly cooked and dry. The cucumber was only salty, while other flavors should have been added to enhance the beautiful cut.”

The best part is they have a chicken breast option (which is why I tried them out). Not the nicest restaurant, but the food makes up for it.”

“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.”

“Great lunch at Yes Restaurant. We had the large sweet and sour chicken with a spring roll and rice, and the Bento 1 with teriyaki chicken, gyoza, salad and miso soup. Both were really good, and the portions were generous. Two Thai iced teas and the whole meal came to 38 dollars. Clean, comfortable dining room, Sean took good care of us, and we will be back. 5 stars.”

“What a cozy little place, small but pleasant. Today was my first visit, after a long day at Portland State University. I ordered the Special B for $10.99: 12 pieces (4 California roll, 4 spicy tuna, and 4 spicy salmon). All of them were handcrafted and delicious, and it's an amazing serving size for the price. As a college student who gets around by train, I spend a lot of time downtown so finding a good meal at the right price can be tricky. Though the trip is long, I truly love walking around downtown, listening to the hustle and bustle of the city, and finding good restaurants like this one. The person taking my order was very kind, and the food came out quickly. The food, service, and atmosphere were all great. I'll definitely be coming back!”

“Whenever I see local restaurants saying that they're not busy... They could learn a thing or two from Mashita. Their prices are actually reasonable and it reflects in the constant business that they get. And the food is good for the price. You can get a $11.95 bento that is enough to feed one hungry person or two moderately hungry people. Absolutely love it and can't wait to come back”

“Atmosphere is wonderful with a lot of plants all around and very good lighting from the large windows. Plenty of seating, with a counter at the front to place your order. The food is very flavorful, no extra sauces needed! But for those that do want to add to it there is a wide selection of chili sauces and soy sauces. Staff is kind and attentive and very accommodating towards dietary restrictions. I will be back!”

Remember the "ramen wars" a few years back? Well, we might have a winner. Jinya Ramen Bar is slurping up success, becoming the second-fastest growing full-service Asian restaurant in the U.S. In 2023, this Tokyo-born (and Los Angeles-based) chain grew by 30.2%, second only to KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot. It's the only ramen joint to make it into the Technomic Top 500 restaurants list. What's their secret? Founder Tomo Takahashi reveals.
Rock N Roll Sushi, the restaurant chain known for its fun, rockin' American-style sushi experience, is kicking off 2024 with some big moves.

The conveyor belt sushi chain Kura Revolving Sushi Bar has huge growth plans for 2024.
