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.“

“My husband and I chose Fuji’s for Valentine’s Day this year, and it truly did not disappoint. It’s been years since we’ve been able to enjoy a Valentine’s together, so this night meant a lot to us and the staff made it feel special.

The food was delicious, the hibachi chef was entertaining, and the whole atmosphere was lively and fun without feeling rushed. Even on a busy holiday, everything flowed smoothly. We left feeling full, happy, and grateful for such a wonderful evening. We’ll definitely be back!🤩🥰🎉“

“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!“

“Highly recommended ！The staff is very friendly and enthusiastic. The soup given by the store is very delicious. The shrimp and beef here are both excellent,。Highly recommend Korean kimchi fried rice ，I will come here often, the food is not only delicious but also reasonably priced“

“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.“

“On my way home, I stopped at Donburi Factory to get my last poke fix for 2025. Was greeted by a delightful young lady, Olivia who took my order. We had a very pleasant chat while I waited for my order which didn't take long .
When I got home, I inhaled my Poke Don which was of course, fresh and tasty ! Olivia recommended some spicy mayo to add to the Poke and she was spot on. So, thanks Olivia for the spicy mayo tip and for being so personable.
Happy New Year. Doug L“

“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!!“

“Went here on a whim with a colleague and the atmosphere is gorgeous and refined but has a taste of izakaya to it! The food was absolutely delicious! I had the shrimp tempura maki and the wagyu (from Hokkaido, not American wagyu) nigiri and it was perfect! My colleague had the sashimi bento and bao bun. She fell in love with the bao bun and miso soup that came with the bento. Staff are super nice, attentive, and ready to answer any questions about the menu. I will definitely be back!“

“Expect to be here for roughly 1.5 hrs but well worth it! We show up right when they open; get seated, order and food hits the table 50 minutes later. Food is very well done and worth the wait otherwise we wouldn’t keep coming back. My family has been going here for several years. If you are impatient; this place is not for you!“

“Fresh, beautifully presented sushi with great variety.

We ordered a mix of rolls and appetizers, and everything was consistently good. The rolls were well-balanced—not overly sauced—and the fish tasted fresh. The spicy tuna poke had a nice kick without overpowering the flavor of the fish, and the blistered shishito peppers were a perfect starter.

Presentation was thoughtful and elegant, especially the specialty rolls and nigiri. You can tell care went into both the food and plating. Service was attentive, and the overall atmosphere felt relaxed but polished…great for a casual dinner or a special night out.

Would definitely come back to try more of the menu. 🍣“

“As a fellow restraunt owner, this is beyond amazing and the price is better than any other teryaki compared. They give you a full plate of food and the people working there are sweet and kind especially the lady who takes the orders. Will come back“

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

“I already knew the food would be good when I saw the steamed rice. The flavor was really good and the portions are very big. If I was to critique anything, it would be that the steak was a little dry. Otherwise, I will come back here if I go to the food carts again. So far it has been the best one in that food cart pod.“

“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!!“

“We really liked the service and the food quality! We were surprised they had a lot of appetizers with seafood not like other sushi restaurants near by. I liked their variety of sake as well. The waitresses were so kind explaining the menu and it was helpful to make our decision for the delicious meal! They have so many rolls so you will definitely need some recommendations and I'm sure it will suit your taste! It was our first visit and we will definitely go back to sushi avenue!“

“Was told about this “secret” restaurant with little signage, weird hours, that you had to get there before opening to secure a seat. Excited to try, we got there 15 min prior to opening and indeed, 7-10 before opening, we saw someone going in so we opened the door and they were seating people. By opening time they were nearly full. Our excitement was seemingly validated by the opening rush.

Atmosphere was clean, staff were friendly. The menu looked delicious. The food however, hmm. We got their signature ramen, which is $18.50. It was ok. The broth wasn’t as rich as other ramens I’ve had in the area but had some unique flavors. The cubed pork belly in the soup was tender but slightly bland. The sliced chashu was ok but only 1-2 pieces in each bowl. There were limited veggies in the soup too, I prefer more. Didn’t like the fine angel-hair noodles, I prefer a thicker noodles at other places. Overall the ramen at FuddoYama or Lucky Cat is a lot better. Even Ramen Ryoma inside Uwajimaya was better, despite them not even having tonkatsu.

We also got some sides. A small bowl of rice was $5. Edamame was $8 which is pricey, but when it arrived, it was the smallest edamame serving I’ve ever seen. There was literally a child’s size handful only. $8 felt like robbery. The other sides, fried tofu and karrage chicken were delicious, but also priced at nearly an entree but the portion size was on the smaller size. Spent over $90 for two adults and a young child who only ate a couple sides and didn’t leave full. Something is wrong with that picture.

Overall, was meh. Probably won’t return. Overhyped and overpriced. I’m all for hidden gems but I don’t understand the buzz about this place. I eat ramen 1-2 times a week and have tried I think every place that serves ramen on the west side. The best tasting ramen and best value in town is Lucky Cat ramen full stop. And it’s only $12.
All you other restaurants need to step up your game.“

“I didn’t take a photo (regret it now!), but these were honestly the best sushi I’ve had in Beaverton.

Everything was incredibly fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. The fish tasted super fresh, and the ingredient combinations were just perfect — nothing to add, nothing to change. I’m genuinely impressed.

I ordered three rolls, and it basically turned into three full meals — they’re that filling and generous in size.

Amazing quality for the price. Absolutely worth it.
Keep it up! 🙌“

“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“

“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.“

“First time trying & don't know what took me so long. I'm a big fan of Katsu Chicken but rarely order it especially if done with chicken breast. It's rare to find chicken breast not overly dry so avoid ordering it. They told me they use thigh meat for all their dishes so went with it. This was wonderful, cooked to perfection, & a huge amount of food. I will be eating on it for two days. The place was super clean & put the food out quickly. I can't wait to try some of their other dishes.“

“Food was good, but the price was a little high. Wasn't outrageous, but was higher than what we expected. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't the best sushi that I have ever had, but it was good. I think it would be a great place for date night.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“A little cold inside, but amazing service and food. I got the Chicken Yakisoba noodles and it had amazing flavor. The chicken had great flavor but was a bit soft/ chewy and my brain kept questioning if it was truly chicken. But that could definitely be a ME issue. Overall great food and a variety of extra sauces/ marinades on the side. I will surely be back, but for the beef next time!!“

“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.“

“Been coming here on and off for over ten years and it is always fantastic. The food costs enough that you expect it to be good but not too much to where you regret ordering items. It's always great though and never a disappointment or a regret. My favorite appetizer is their monkey brain which consist of tuna inside a ball of avocado. Just great as I love both of those things. It is decorated beautifully and even has sunken booths where you take off your shoes and sit on pillows. Super authentic if you want that. The portions are generous and worth every penny. Love coming back here and glad that I live so close. Don't waste your time and money at the places that are hyped up, this place has been here forever and it shows why in all that they do. Looking forward to our next trip to Banya“

“WOW! This place has become a regular dinner hangout for my family and I. The food is amazing. You can taste the love he puts in it. The owner is there everyday and he ALWAYS has a smile on his face. The food comes in huge portions as you can see and the atmosphere is inviting ad warm. So much care went into this place and the food and you can tell.
Absolutely recommending for all occasions!“

“1. Super clean restaurant! The interior design feels pretty Japanese.

2. The employees went above and beyond!

3. The sushi rolls, fish, house sake were on point. I'd recommend the PDX roll.

I'm definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“Super fresh fish, beautiful presentation. Our favorite sushi spot these days!“

“We stopped by Sambi and honestly had some of the best Japanese food we’ve had in the PNW.

We ordered the Karaage Omu Curry, Smoked Salmon Roll, Negihama Roll, and Seared Salmon Nigiri. The curry really reminded us of the kind of comfort food you’d get at a restaurant in Japan. The karaage was super flavorful, nicely marinated, crispy on the outside, and incredibly juicy and tender inside.

The salmon was outstanding and about as fresh as it gets. The seared salmon nigiri practically melted in your mouth, and the smoked salmon roll was excellent. The Negihama Roll was rolled perfectly with a great balance of fish and rice, which is harder to find than you’d think.

Service was friendly and quick, and everyone made us feel welcome. We’re really glad we found this place and it’ll definitely be one of our go-to spots whenever we’re in the area.“

“Teriyaki was amazing! Rice was cooked portly as were vegetables in the bento box. Sadly the dumplings were not included as ordered. I was truly looking forward to trying those most. No option to request siracha sauce in DoorDash app… the food just isn’t the same without the siracha. Chicken was amazing and I’ll order again! Here’s hoping my dumplings arrive next time!“

“Stopped here while traveling and me and the wife enjoyed our food niche little spot for some Japanese food. I'm surprised they actually use nice plates and silverware where most other places would just use the traditional Styrofoam to go boxes. If back in Tigard would visit again. Price is reasonable too.“

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

“I cannot stress enough how much I love this place.
The food is fantastic. I have never had an issue with them not paying attention to special instructions. The shop itself is so so cute and cozy.
I hope this place never goes away. 🥹“

“Very impressed. Ordered a fresh hand roll with yellowtail and avocado — fish was clean and fresh, rice properly seasoned, and the texture balance was excellent. The ginger and soy were well portioned, and the overall presentation was simple and honest.

It’s not flashy — it’s focused on quality. If you appreciate fresh fish and straightforward execution, this is a great stop“

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

“I got the chicken and rice With an egg roll. Everything was perfectly done. Super crispy egg roll chicken. And salad was just normal... Not shown because I ate it.

The chicken had such a good color and flavor and Plenty of rice. The other thing I really like about this place if the new folks the Pacific Northwest who've not tried teriyaki, this is exactly how it used to be 20+ years ago. I wish I would not have gotten caught up in all the hype of new places and more places like this survived the last decade.

I heard both Japanese and Korean in the kitchen and Spanish and Russian in the seating area. I also saw a very timid regular white guy playing with the Sriracha and unable to handle it with his Gatorade... Excusing himself leaving 80%of his meal finished. Really a fun throwback.“

“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👍“

“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“

“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.“

“Best Teriyaki in wilsonville!

The Lunch price currently at $11 is the best bang for buck around here!

This location used to be a different teriyaki place which was not good. Since i assume new ownership and a name change it has increased not only in quality of ingredients used, but quality in whoever is in the back cooking the food!“

“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!“

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

“Oh my lanta! This place!?!?!
I've been to so many sushi places and this by far is THE best place.
The nicest staff and just very wholesome.

We watched a little boy go up to a server and ask for the bathroom to wash his hands. The boy couldn't have been more than 5yrs.
The server had a big smile, got down to the little boy height and looked the little boy in the eye so he could listen.
The server the. Showed him the bathroom (one person bathroom), held the door open and help3d the boy turn the water on. He kept the door open and smiled the entire time.
It was so heartwarming to see this interaction.
It actual brought warmness to my heart.
This is just the service.

The food was outstanding. The amount of fish they put in their rolls is amazing and oh so fresh tasting.

I would give this place more than a 5 star rating if I could.“
