50 Best Japanese Restaurants near West Linn

“We love this place! We eat here regularly, and truly enjoy the food, cocktails, service, and ambiance. The black cod miso yaki is our favorite dish - it's delicious and I highly recommend it. The veggie and shrimp tempura is the best I've ever had, with an interesting mix of eggplant, mushrooms, squash, lotus root, and onions - all lightly battered and served with a delightful dipping sauce (pour the dipping sauce on the black cod, it's so good). The cocktails, especially the Japanese 75 and the shiso gin drink (I can't think of the name), are well-balanced and mixed properly, and are very yummy. I tell everyone I know to try this place! Some of the food can seem adventurous if you're not familiar with Japanese fare, but it's all delicious and beautifully presented. Finally, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the owner is a very sweet and funny lady. All around, Sushi Kuni is a great dining experience and I highly recommend checking it out.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I get my Eel & Philly Roll fix here almost every weekend, and they do. not. miss.
Staff is incredibly professional and quick with service, offering chopping block-to-table top dishes of fresh fishes that make you feel like a VIP. 😎 Clean and routine, these cats know sushi and hospitality. 10/10“

“The sushi here is the BOMB. Amazing poke bowl and rolls. Highly recommend- the lobster dragon and Portland We will definitely be back. Great service“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

“One of the best Teriyaki places in the area.

The young gentleman working the front was just amazing. He was managing a VERY fast flow of customers and kept very pleasant and professional demeanor.

Like everyone has said, portions for the price are pre-pandemic quantities and the quality of the chicken was excellent. It was cooked with prefect char.

Salad was fresh and plentiful (iceberg--but at least fresh--unlike my last teriyaki experience.)

I'll definitely be back.“

“Stopped here simply because we were in the neighborhood, but would go out of our way to stop again. The staff were very friendly. Our food was delightful. Very clean place. High chair for the little one who loved the side order of grilled chicken.“

“This place is one of the best teriyaki places in the entire area of downtown portland. Generous portions worth every single penny ❤️

The charred chicken pieces are extremely perfect and juicy, dressed in perfect homemade teriyaki sauce.

The pot stickers on the other hand, have the gingery aroma flavor, makes it more palatable and appetizing at the same time.“

“best salmon and squid salad ever!“

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

“Great food, fast service and great atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“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 love me some teriyaki bowl, and because I am on the road all day with my job, I get the opportunity to try several different restaurants on a monthly basis. This is one of the best, and Jonathan and his team make fantastic food and have created a very friendly environment. I will definitely be returning.“

“Oh my god man. The California roll (with crab/cucumber/avocado) is AMAZING. This place is awesome!! I didn't like sushi before coming here. Get this exact same thing (California roll, also shrimp nigiri×2 with spicy mayo) and the soy sauce is good too! I didn't want it but they know what's up, it was fantastic with it. Thank you so muchhhhhhh I'll be back for pick up orders, and to show people how amazing this place is ☺️“

“I went here for the first time tonight (Friday, 6/30) at 5:15 PM. It was fabulous! Our server went out of the way with us, including looking into different types of tequila they have so my mom could have the perfect margarita. The food came out very quickly, our water was always full, and the ambiance was great. We had delicious chicken gyoza, shrimp gyoza, ebi tem, and chicken karaage don. It's some of the best Japanese food we've had in the Happy Valley/Clackamas area in a long time. We will definitely be back!“

“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“

“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.“

“I really like this place.

Good food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere with all the plants.

Had the Bulgogi Beef Plate upon suggestion and did not disappoint.

Great job all around!“

“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.“

“Oh! Teriyaki is one of our favorite places. They have excellent food at a great price. The staff is always friendly and inviting. We usually call our order in and it is ready in about 10 minutes. I also highly recommend buying a bottle of their famous Teriyaki Sauce!“

“First time here ! Sushi was amazing ! Tried sake for the first time and it was yummy !“

“AMAZING to say the least. The atmosphere, the staff, the food and the music were perfect ✨ I will definitely be back“

“We were pleasantly surprised after we took a chance with this adorable restaurant. It's tucked away in a small shopping center off of 82nd in Clackamas.
The service was quick and friendly. They have an extensive Sushi menu, as well as other Japanese offerings like Tempura, Teriyaki, and Ramen. The prices are reasonable for the fare. We arrived at 730 on a Sunday night. By 8PM, they had more than half the tables full. This place was exactly what we wanted. We will be back.“

“Teriyaki Land is one of those spots you kind of want to gatekeep, because it feels like a true hidden gem. The food is unreal teriyaki beef = GOAT, teriyaki chicken = GOAT, pork fried rice = GOAT. Every dish tastes fresh, flavorful, and way better than you’d expect from such a chill little place.

And then, just when you think it’s a normal teriyaki joint, you notice the koi pond. It’s not huge or fancy more like a funny little bonus you don’t expect but it adds to the charm. The vibe here is relaxed, the food is next-level, and the whole experience feels unique.

Low key, I don’t want this place to get busier… but high key, it deserves all the love.“

“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!!!“

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

“The owner and staff are amazing! Got to know me quickly and are always so friendly and professional! The food is excellent and can’t be the quality you get for the price! I would eat here everyday if I could!!“

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

“One of the best Japanese restaurants in town.

They have happy hour, when they serve ramen, chirashi don and other mains in smaller portion at about half of the price.

Very budget friendly for solo dining! Especially if you want to try out different foods.“

“Low key restaurant with friendly staff and amazing food. The bacon jalapeño poppers were outstanding along with the pork belly skewers. The win er was the Korean Army stew they had on special.

I will be back sooner rather than later.“

“Our server, Jenny, was so awesome!! We will definitely be back!! We drove down from Seattle, and wanted some yummy food - great choice!“

“I would love to give this place five stars. They're are often not open during their scheduled business hours. I've been here multiple times in the last few weeks at 12:00, which is when they say they open yet they are closed. I'm sitting here right now at 12:15 and their food truck is closed.“

“We loved Tada Sushi! Clean and elegant! All the food was amazing and we will go back for more 💞“

“I was making deliveries in the area, my sugar level was 82 and I decided to stop for a teriyaki, I was impressed, the price was only $11 and the food tasted really good, plus I ordered a coffee which they don't really sell here and the girl told me she'll make you one don't worry, I think the food is good although the people who come to this place come to play lottery machines. I recommend this place“

“Swung in tonight to check it out! Double high fives! Great food, service and space!! Jalapeño poppers 🥳🥳 Sellwood roll🥰 sake 🌟 tap Kirin🔥 Definitely give it a try!“

“I don't know why this place is always so empty. The sushi is delicious, and the prices are really good for such a large variety. The staff have been very helpful and kind.“

“The staff here is wonderful. It has the hometown feel that I grew up with and love about the Portland area that is not as common as it used to be. I go here for lunch breaks and the service is very fast and always friendly. I always get the teriyaki chicken bowl which is fresh and good. If I decide to play video poker they bring me my food and it's always exactly as I order it.“

“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!“

“This resteraunt is close to OHSU down on the water front. I was waiting for my husband while he was having a small procedure and found this place about a block away. They have a unique selection of poke bowls and other sushi and Bento selections. I had the Bbq Unagi poke bowl which was very fresh and tasty.“

“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 is the best teriyaki place that you'll find in Portland. The food is great and fresh vegetables never had a bad meal been going here for over 10 years I would recommend hot rice to anybody that wants to enjoy a nice meal inside it's very clean the air conditioning works well and your server is the best she knows everything about the menu“

“Amazing high quality food, great The portion sizes! Can’t wait to come back!“

“i don’t get why people are hating in the reviews. i’ve been coming here since before i could even walk or talk and they are by far the best teriyaki place i’ve been to in portland. it’s family owned i believe and they are always super nice to me and my family. the service is amazing eating in or taking out. my favorite thing is the teriyaki chicken bowl. i highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the portland area or looking for something new to try“

“BIG SUSHI!!! It’s a hole in the wall location, but once found you won’t forget it!“

“Me and my spouse love this place the price is great the amount of chicken you get it amazing you definitely get what you paid for its $28 to get 2 plates with double chicken the double chicken is $2.99 and you get a lot
