50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Sherwood

“Very yummy and cute bento box. The teriyaki is delicious and sushi included was also great, which isn't common! This place is also fast, our food is typically ready within a couple minutes of ordering. Best teriyaki in Sherwood without a doubt.“

“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!“

“I regularly get takeout from this counter service restaurant. If you love tofu, this place is the bomb! I have tried all their tofu dishes and they are so good! Love the black rice too and the side veggies ( cabbage/carrot/broccoli) which is lightly steamed - just right! Great value for the money as portions are generous. Staff always friendly when I come in to pick up. Highly recommend for vegetarians/tofu lovers!“

“Definitely fresh food, prepared and cooked after ordering and not microwaved or nasty food you'd find in most places these days but thats why its so expensive. Id say thats the only thing is because it is fresh and its fish, its very expensive. Unfortunately, that makes it to where we couldnt afford to go very much. This is food id get if I wanted a great japanese food experience, eat raw fish thats exceptional, fresh and safe. Id trust this place to eat this type of food here cause of how its prepared and the people look serious here too. The young lady up front was sweet and the place has minimal seating but thats ok. You can also eat outside. Thank you for a good experience with raw fish, I absolutely enjoyed it.“

“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 is a new go-to favorite for my kids and me. The veggie delight roll is so unique and absolutely delicious. I get it every time. Love, love it. The bento box for lunch is super fun and my son's favorite. Highly recommend trying MiChi Japan.“

“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.“

“Very kind and accommodating for my Gluten free needs. Even brought me my own GF soy sauce pot. Beautiful presentation of food and very good food and fresh fish. For GF I did the special on the board of K-skewers chicken no sauce, a veggie roll that they left one thing off that wasn't GF, and a Hawaiian roll. Hubby got a couple other rolls that were great. The wasabi has a pretty good kick to it LOL the ginger is really good.“

“Me and my family have been coming here for the past 18 years! This family owned restaurant has the most kind owners who work everyday they are open, generous portions, amazing flavors and best prices in all of Portland metro area! Our families drive from Salem and Vancouver to come here whenever we’re craving teriyaki!“

“Whenever I come to Oregon to visit family, I always try to eat here. Honestly one of the best sushi restaurants I’ve gone to, the food was IMMACULATE. So good. You can taste the pure authenticity and flavor in their food. The servers are really sweet and kind, some of the nicest I’ve had. This small family owned store felt so cozy and warm like a blanket, it was nice, and felt like being in Japan again. The only thing that people might not like about this is the long wait, but honestly it’s worth it, and I also personally don’t mind. Great place, should try it sometime :)“

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

“The service was super and every food we ordered tasted fantastic. We loved the authentic atmosphere and how clean the restroom was in the restaurant! It was our first time visiting today but we would love to go back! Definitely recommend for anyone who never been to Sushi Ave👌 Thank you for the delicious food!!“

“A medium sized izakaya Raman shop perfect for an informal dinner.

The three appetizers we had were pretty good, the karage was crunchy and juicy on the inside. What the breading lacked in flavor the zesty Mayo made up for in character. 7.5/10

The ramen was served with excellent portions and at a normal Portland price, about 15 bucks before add-ons. I always add on an egg for good measure. My wife and I both ordered the signature ramen on the menu and it was good, somewhat mild in flavor but still rich. You can tell the tare is made in house and with care. 7.5/10

The service was excellent, considering the price and atmosphere of the restaurant. Wait staff were attentive in picking up plates that were used and quickly serving food. 9/10

The ambiance is nothing to write home about, this isn't a dining experience, this is your local delicious ramen spot. Now Beyonce was frankly unremarkable and that's okay. 6/10

All in all, if a friend wanted to check it out or wanted to eat there, I'd happily oblige. But I've got my own ramen spot closer to my house that I enjoy more so I won't be returning regularly.“

“I love this place! We are from out of town, the last 2 weeks I've been thinking of eating here, lol. And they did not disappoint! Went on a Thursday around dinner, it was busy! A little warm inside as Newberg was having a heat wave, but understandable. Estimated time, 20 minutes and it was spot on. Worth the wait, food was fresh, hot and tasted just like I remembered. One of my favorite places to go when we come to Newberg.“

“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!!“

“Truly the best sushi, and possibly the best spot overall in town! Sashimi is always beautiful, their chef creations are wonderful and so creative and fresh. Rolls and hibachi are great too! Plus the service is truly amazing. Our usual server (it says Alice on the receipt) is amazing, and so beyond sweet with our son and very kind and efficient. It’s become our new favorite spot since they opened. 5+⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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“

“If you’re in the area and love Japanese food, this food truck is an absolute gem you shouldn’t miss. I’ve been a regular customer for quite some time, and it has never disappointed me. The quality of the food is consistently excellent—every bite feels fresh and flavorful. Their California rolls are perfectly balanced with creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and fresh crab. The spring rolls are light, crisp, and make a great starter before diving into their sushi selection.

The sushi itself is where this truck truly shines. The fresh salmon practically melts in your mouth, and their spicy tuna rolls pack just the right amount of heat without overwhelming the flavor of the fish. You can tell the ingredients are carefully chosen and handled with pride, which makes a huge difference.

One thing to note is that the staff’s English is limited, so placing an order might require a bit of pointing or patience. But honestly, that small language barrier is part of the charm—it’s a reminder that this food comes straight from people who know their craft and pour authenticity into every dish.

For anyone who enjoys good Japanese food at great value, this food truck is a local must-visit. It’s earned my loyalty, and I’m sure it’ll win you over too.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is great, service is friendly.

Our only bad experience was when we tried to order through grubhub/ubereats. Some sort of mix up that the staff refused to correct.

Just phone in and pick up it up yourself, and you'll be treated to the best chicken katsu in town.“

“Following peach picking at TK Orchards, we found this cozy restaurant. We ordered lunch specials of yakisoba with veggies and chicken, and the other was mixed tempura and teriyaki chicken. Prepared fresh and flavorful within a few minutes following our order. Very friendly owner operator and accomplished chef made for a relaxed, nutritious meal in a comfortable, clean diner setting.“

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

“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.“

“Koya Sushi was spectacular from the very first impression. Everything exceeded expectations—the warm hospitality, the stunning presentation, and, of course, the delicious food. My friend and I arrived close to closing time and didn’t think we’d be seated, but the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which set the tone for the entire experience.
As soon as the food arrived, I couldn't help but notice how amazing the presentation was. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Koya Sushi left such a positive impression that I’m already looking forward to my next visit for more amazing sushi!“

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

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

“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.“

“Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. The nigiri had very generous cuts of fish and was served at just the right temperature. We were tempted to eat only sushi but we also wanted to try some kitchen dishes and we're glad we did. The miso soup, gyoza, and yakitori were also fabulous!“

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

“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!“

“We've been faithful customers for as long as I (Dana) can remember. Sarku is a tried-and-true favorite. The food is delicious, and portions are huge. They will cheerfully make any requested customizations, and offer plenty of add-ons to meals (extra meat, appetizers, tempura shrimp, etc.). Overall, Sarku is a pretty healthy choice, too.“

“The shop is small but the food is amazing! Best tteokbokki I've had hands down and their bugolgi is to die for! (pics are of the half eaten dishes, they looked prettier before we dug in lol) The staff is also very friendly and helpful. 10/10“

“My fiance and I visited the other night for the first time and we can’t stop talking about it. The quality for the price is insanely good!! The sushi tasted fresh and was yummy. The service was very friendly and we were checked in on frequently. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“I recommend Fried Noodles, Kalua pork with cabbage. Love Palenakas. Wonderful people🌺“

“This is legit one of the best teriyaki spots in the Portland area! The chicken is always cooked to perfection. A little charred but super tender and delicious... exactly as it should be. Most of the competition is dry in comparison. The staff is always sincerely friendly and I leave with a smile every time. Highly recommended!! I just wish they were open on the weekends“

“This place I would highly recommend. The serves here was very good and nice even though it took me forover for some people in my party to choose what they wanted. They also have good atmosphere and the tables are clean and doesn't take that much time to wait (5-10 minutes for my party). The food was also very good and I hope you guys are able to come her with a party and have a good time as well a I did when I came.

Also side note (that doesn't have to do with my review of this place) I would like to apologize for not posting in such a long time but I will be able to start posting agian.“

“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 ✌👍😎“

“Good food, but could use a little more meat in their yakesoba dishes. Good price, too!“

“Absolutely love Sakura! This spot is a go-to for amazing food, especially their crab puffs—hands down the best I’ve ever had. They’re handmade, super crispy, and packed with flavor. The veggie rolls are fresh and delicious, and their spicy noodles have just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back.

They’re also open late, which is perfect for those evening cravings. Bonus: they even have the lottery, so you can grab a bite and test your luck. Highly recommend!“

“This is the second time we have gone to Kigaru and we love it! The Ramen is fantastic and the broth has great flavor. Sushi was outstanding and very fresh. Definitely would recommend the restaurant and you can get take out too“

“Love the staff and the food, it’s never a disappointment!“

“Food was good, service was very friendly. The wall roll and the kaleidoscope roll was very good. The combination fried rice had good flavor. Calamari was different and fun to try, it could use a little more seasoning in the batter but it was very crispy! Thia tea was delicious. Will go again“

“I enjoyed my food a lot—an order of shrimp yakisoba with soy and orange sauce on the sticky rice, a bottle of pineapple 🍍 flavored Mexican Faygo, and a side of potstickers for the table to share—and found it both filling and satisfying.
Especially considering the relatively late hour (≈8:30pm-9:00pm) and the fairly cheap price-point of the entire dish ($17.50 for the Yakisoba; $2.50 for the drink; ≈$5 for the Potstickers?) I can't complain overmuch.

Unfortunately the service wasn't terribly great, so I will be complaining somewhat.
My main issues:
• The cashier didn't really understand the questions I asked him, and I couldn't really understand what he said to me in response; therefore I just ordered exactly by the number.
• Despite ordering exactly as pictured, the others with me in my party didn't get the broccoli that was supposed to be in their Teriyaki Chicken/Steak bowls; mine was fine though. 🤷🏽‍♂️
• We didn't get our side of potstickers with our meals; after waiting ≈15 minutes, I went to the counter to mention it to the cashier. After the initial language confusion, he became very apologetic and brought them out promptly—they were crispy and rather good, so ultimately it wasn't an issue.

The main reasons I bring up these issues is because of the three of us, I had to handle each issue rather than my siblings. Each of them felt uncomfortable dealing with things, but for different reasons.
My sister didn't want to ask anyone to repeat things or clarify what someone said, so she just stood uncomfortably and waited for one of us to explain things to her.
By brother was annoyed by the missing broccoli 🥦 and kept grumbling about the money spent on the Potstickers, but dislikes confrontation, so he just glared into his rice.
So I went up, mentioned the issues—nicely, politely, asking instead of making demands—got them resolved easily, moved on with our meals and our nights; everyone was happy.

We'll all definitely be coming back again.
Most likely for late-night dinners or a quick snack before events or activities.“
