50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Tualatin

“Very delicious teriyaki sauce that goes great with the chicken and yakisoba, which is what I got. Highly recommend the pot stickers and literally everything else. The price per person was about 11$ and they give you very generous portions, enough to fill you and then some. The workers are super friendly and nice, definitely coming back often!“

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

“Ordered takeout, grilled bulgogi plate was delicious. Full disclaimer: i used a gift card, which took $15 off the price.. so part of my pleasure is in getting a huge discount AND Grubhub was offering a “7 free potstickers with purchase of Bulgogi plate”. If I’d spent $22 on just the bulgogi plate I’m not sure I would be as pleased or be writing this review… but as it was, my particular situation and price? Superb! Did come with a side salad.. decent portion of bulgogi … but like I said I paid seven bucks“

“This is one of my favorite places to each lunch, a great place to meet a friend, and the friendliest service you can imagine. I wish more restaurants focused on doing one thing well and being deeply authentic in vibe and presentation. After today's visit I felt compelled to write a review because it sparked true joy. This is a meal that you end up thinking about - sometimes DIRECTLY after eating it. You should probably go - there's bike parking directly outside, and it will be something you enjoy.“

“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 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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“As a Washington resident traveling to Portland often, I must say this is my all time favorite! The staff, atmosphere, location, and most importantly the amazing food is beyond 5 star! I will continue to come back and highly recommend the chicken katsu donburi it’s my favorite 🙂“

“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“

“Great Sushi and Phenomenal Service❣️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything. This is not just going to dinner. This is a dining experience. It’s a small reserved venue. Yes it’s spendy, but worth every penny. You’ll try food you never thought you try. The mostly seafood menu it so well prepared. Plus you can watch the prepared each course. A fun night.“

“The food was just ok. Too much rice around the rolls. It was almost all rice. We ended up picking at each roll to take out the rice. Spider rolls and tempura was not crispy. Service was ok. Waiter was came and asked if I wanted more water, but never came back. Our two dishes were $45. Probably will kept go back.“

“Amazing food, gorgeous location, great atmosphere. Have never had anything we didn’t love here. Our favorite sushi around and we’ve tried them all 💖.“

“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.“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

“My experience at Kokiyo Teriyaki in Central Eastside, Portland, was an absolute treat, and I can’t recommend this hidden gem at 1234 SE 7th Ave enough for anyone craving authentic, flavorful Japanese comfort food! Nestled in the vibrant Industrial District near OMSI, this family owned spot delivers a cozy, welcoming vibe paired with mouthwatering dishes that keep you coming back.

I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki with Gyoza combo, and it was a revelation. The chicken was perfectly charbroiled, tender, and coated in their signature homemade teriyaki sauce that strikes the perfect balance of sweet and savory: truly some of the best teriyaki I’ve had in Portland! The gyoza were crispy yet juicy, and the steamed rice and fresh veggies rounded out a generous, satisfying plate.

I also tried the Honey Chicken, recommended by a loyal patron, and its subtle sweetness was addictive. The menu offers variety, from yakisoba to spicy pork bulgogi and even a unique burger special, all at wallet friendly prices.

The service is a standout: warm, genuine, and attentive. The staff, led by new ownership that has elevated the quality while preserving beloved recipes, greeted me with smiles and made me feel like a regular, even on my first visit. The restaurant is impeccably clean, with a charming, no frills atmosphere that feels like a true neighborhood spot. It’s perfect for a quick lunch or takeout, and they even offer delivery for those cozy nights in.

Located in the heart of Central Eastside, Kokiyo Teriyaki is a must visit for its delicious food, stellar service, and unbeatable value. Whether you’re a teriyaki purist or just exploring the area, this spot will leave you full and happy. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to try the Hot and Spicy Chicken plate!“

“I love this place! Great food, great people and prices. You really can't ask for more. I have tried their spam musubi, terri spam musubi, and their salmon and tuna triangle. Everything is delicious and fresh and service is always with a smile! This is my new favorite spot for sure.“

“if you want to eat fish, they have fish and definitely don't skimp on the portions. If all you care about is the food tasting good and its reasonably priced and good portions, this is the sushi spot. If you want your food to look fancy and be expensive then i would recommend eating elsewhere. I'm not saying the sushi looks bad, sometimes the rolls are a little sloppy and fall apart. I love unagi and i love dragon rolls. Do NOT order the dragon roll here it makes me sad. Their salmon is really good though. Would recommend the spider roll.

Side note:
4.7 stars on google with over 900 reviews! that would make this one of the best sushi shops in the Portland area. There are some restaurants that have 4.8-5 stars but significantly less reviews.“

“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!“

“Stopped in on a whim for lunch, and ordered the Kaizen and Salmon Aburi rolls, Sunomono, Gyoza and hot green tea.

The staff was really kind and attentive, the majority of the food was great. We had one roll where the tuna was not really tender and had some sinew in it that made it tough to eat (that's why we can't give it 5 stars), but the roll it was in had good flavor.

We will definitely give them another try.“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“Yuzu is absolutely my favorite Japanese restaurant. The service is excellent and the dishes are consistent in quality every visit. The Japanese fare here is exactly the way I remember them from my trip to Japan. I have not found a better curry rice than yuzu and the kakuni Ramen here is fantastic.“

“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.“

“While we did pick-up, we were in and out in the time they had said it would take. Where we live we don’t have a lot of teriyaki joints to eat at. This is one I said to my wife we need to come back to next time we’re visiting. The chicken and sauce are 🤌🏻. My leftovers were as good the next day as the day I had them. It’s worth going to.“

“Ordered take out and loved our food—even my two toddlers downed it! 😊👍“

“Always fresh and yum!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We came here last Saturday for our family lunch. It’s worth the drive. The food was delicious—it’s like eating sushi but healthier. I usually get tired and bored of eating sushi, go round or just regular sushi as it tends to be repetitive, but this was an excellent choice. They add good portions veggies to your plate, and I love veggies. The portions of meat were more than we expected. I definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to try some new fusion sushi-style food.“

“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!

“Best � around hands down. Keep returning, the wait is well worth it�� very popular, come early. Their sushi � burritos are A-MAZ-ING.“

“Dinner was amazing. Staff was amazing. just AMAZING. My son took me as a surprise while visiting him from FL. Thank you for making this moment for us. 5 star!“

“This is our second time dining at Janken, and this time we brought some of our good friends to enjoy a restaurant we've been raving about for months. The food was delicious and outside of the Wagyu steak, which was the most expensive item but also quite fatty, everything was outstanding! However, our service was very disappointing. Compared to our first dining experience, it was almost like a different restaurant. We had to ask for our waters to be refilled multiple times, our second round of drink orders took so long we almost cancelled it, and our waitress (though she started out good) somewhat disappeared until the end of the service. As I said, the food was outstanding and the ambience is dreamy, but when you pay that much for a meal, I expect the service to be excellent, especially because the tip is included in the price. We assured our friends, who's first experience with Jankens, was not as positive as ours, that hopefully this was an anomaly and our first dining experience was more commensurate with the way Janken actually is. We will certainly be back, but my hope in writing this review is that those reading it will see this as a learning experience and improve the quality of the service to match of the quality of the food.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Prepared and delivered quickly. Everything was delicious! Aloha poke, musubi, salmon rolls, tuna rolls and shrimp tempura. Hearty portions were filling. I have an injury and was unable to go in person. So glad we chose this for delivery. Definitely recommend!“

“awesome food great service!“
