50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Sherwood

“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!

Vegetarian options: Spring Rolls“

“This place is amazing! The rolls are huge and the lobster crunch roll is a must.“

“This place had the most amazing sushi we have ever tasted! a little bit of a wait to get it, but we took that as a food sign because everything is so fresh. The restaurant itself is very clean and had very nice staff. great for date nights!“

“5 stars for the food and the Teppanyaki chef. He was great and food was really yummy! 2 stars for the other server (Hispanic female?) Clearly didn't know her menu and quoted (and charged) incorrect pricing for beer and even delivered the wrong beer. Nowhere on my receipt did it say the word "Sapporo", yet that's what I got. Her response was "Oh, well, you asked about an entirely different beer." Yeah, I did ask... so? I didn't really understand that one either?!?!Know your menu... It's really not that big or complicated! Nothing ruins a great (yet pretty expensive) night out more than a server who ether doesn't know what they're doing or is just lazy/sloppy. Take pride in your craft!“

“Vegetarian options: They can make most menu items vegetarian by swapping the meat with tofu. They told me they had really good tofu and I was kinda skeptical, tofu is tofu it's never super exciting, but they totally delivered it had great texture and flavor!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Got the chicken and gyoza and everything was delicious and fresh, the proportions are pretty good for the price. The only thing that wasn’t so great was that they’re closing at 5 these days, and the service runs a little gruff, be ready to order when you step to the counter! I’m really grateful to have this little gem in town, will be giving them all my money! Haha“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“Call ahead and get your grind on at home. Please support your favorite Mama 😉“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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’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 ?“

“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.“

“This was my first time and it was very good and the service was amazing ✌️“

“Sambi is always delicious and with excellent service! In nearly 17 years of eating here I’ve never had a bad meal or a bad time. It was busy tonight but the food was definitely worth the wait and the service is always so friendly and exceptional. It’s always a joy to come and I can’t wait to come back for more delicious Japanese food! ??“

“Absolutely the most delicious sushi I’ve had in years!!!“

“This is a lowkey spot my wife and I like to go to from time to time. As good as the food is, It’s surprisingly not busy every time I’m here. Service is great, food comes out hot, ready and quick. They have really good chicken teriyaki with the best teriyaki sauce!“

“Great experience! Chef was most entertaining!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting a local Chinese restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious! The portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. The dishes we tried were full of flavor and had a great variety of vegetables and meats. The sauces were flavorful and the fried rice was cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable Chinese food experience.“

“This is the best conveyor belt sushi place that weve been to!! The sushi is fresh And they make the sushi very tight and neat They have several different options to choose from and it is all delicious!! The service is top-notch and My husband and I have been addicted and have been going every week!!“

“Delicious, fresh sushi!! If I’m ever in the area again I will go back!! Atmosphere feels very authentic to the culture! Fabulous service! Easy-to-order form to get what you want. It is quick. Staff is kind and attentive. The waitress was making sure everyone was comfortable and had what they needed.
I ordered the California roll, crunch munch and the lion king! All were fantastic with fabulous flavor!

Kid-friendliness: I didn’t have children in my party but a party near me hand two children and the staff treated them well while they were trying different foods and flavors.“

“Love love love the bibimbap ( don’t know if I spelled that right) I also appreciate rice is served n the side to allow me to decide my vege to rice ratio. The egg is always cooked perfectly, runny in the yellow cooked in the white! Even when I’ve had delivery there is care in the preparation which I appreciate. If I had any complaints it would be how loud the music is when dinning in. But service, food, cost, pride in their restaurant, it’s all there! And top notch! A++++++++“

“Great food. We had their special kalua pork cabbage, and Teri chicken, so delicious. Their shoyu poke was fresh and ono! We also ordered, took home Teri chicken and Meat Jun plates. Gotta take out too!!! When it’s Ono/Delicious, gotta take home so no need to cook! Call to put in your order, eat their in a beautiful area or take out 👍🏼“

“I saw the negative reviews and was dismayed. BUT when we got there and saw the amount of people who were enjoying themselves. This amount of people would not have been and I was heartened by this. First off the service people. When we asked they were prompt. The sushi filled me up. The variety was astounding. I tried most of their different prepared vegetables dishes. Beef dishes as well. My wife ate her fill of various shellfish and other different kinds of seafood. The little dishes of ice cream was a nice touch for desert. It has a bit of everything for everybody. I highly recommend this restaurant. This is our favorite restaurant. Easy to find. Easy to get to. Lots of parking room.“

“Absolutely delicious! One of our fav places in Portland to get sushi. The fish is fresh and tastes good every time. We tried another location and it just wasn’t the same as the Barbur one. They always have a promo going on/prices are already very reasonable for the quantity and quality. I highly recommend Momiji!“

“We used to frequent this restaurant many years ago. After a long absence, we came back and found that the restaurant is now mainly Thai food. We had the Red Curry and Drunken Noodles. Both were generous portions, and the prices were very reasonable.? I would like to try other dishes again.?“

“Food are really great. Service are superb👍“

“very very good assortment of 🍣. you get what you pay for clean calm environment. wait staff are very professional and will constantly check in to see if anyone needs beverage refills or anything else to eat. I woukd recommend this establishment to anyone who enjoys great sushi and wants to try something new ✌👍😎“

“I almost don't want to rave about this place, for fear it will become too popular. But this place is great. It isn't just another belt full of stuff swimming in sriracha and mayo and jalapeños. The rolls are complex and tasty, and the rice---they must use the best rice anywhere. Prices are good, especially considering what you get for your money.“

“This is a go to for saki, Sushi and teriyaki dishes.
But...
A must try is the appetizer Hamichi (yellow tail) collar.
For me it's a must have.
Absolutely delicious.
Did I already tell you they have a LARGE selection of warm or cold saki.
Worth the visit if your in the mood for Saki and Hamachi!“

“Such good teriyaki. Light on sauce but the flavor was baked into the meat and it was such good meat. Quick service too, had two orders ready in 10 min, and super reasonable price especially for the amount of food (11/12 bucks for what lasted me two meals at home)“

“Food are really great. Service are superb👍“
