50 Best Japanese Restaurants near West Linn

“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 💖.“

“Umai is my go-to teriaki place in West Linn. I usually get the bulgogi, chicken katsu, and the yakisoba. I like to get them with steamed vegetables and make more white rice at home and we can feed 5 people plus left overs for the next meal.“

“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!“

“Favorite place to eat. Great sushi and service. Fresh, made to order by menu. Highly recommended by a friend who was a frequent diner. Spicy tuna rolls, ninja rolls without the jalepenos, spider rolls, and yellowtail rolls are top choices. Happy hour is happy for eating more. Thank you to the staff and sushi chefs, especially the kitchen staff. Support your local businesses. We'll see you next time!

Parking: Approximately 50-100 spots. I can't count.

Kid-friendliness: There are a few booths for family.“

“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“

“I came around 3 pm after returning stuff at UPS. I saw the Japchae poster on the wall and read a lot of reviews.

I chose to try Galbi as I haven’t had it for a while and people said it is good. It did not disappointed. Will come back to try japchae wity bulgogi beef next time.

Big portion for the price. Will be my to go place for my Galbi/ bulgogi/ Japchae fix in the future! Like the portion of the salad too.“

“The food is great, the staff are extremely nice, the service is amazing. Overall 10 out of 10. And the ramen is really good! As someone who doesn't go out to eat often and going there for the first time, I would go again if I had another chance to go.“

“best salmon and squid salad ever!“

“Checked out Yami Sushi & Teriyaki for the first time, and it’s got that vibe that sets it apart from other go-to spots. Service is on point, and the sushi quality? Top-notch. Love that they’ve got a solid mix of options, including some killer vegetarian bites with unique flavors. Definitely a spot to revisit!“

“Sushi Kata is a long established Milwaukie Japanese kitchen serving truly authentic Japanese dishes at a reasonable price, even for the current economy!

I spent a number of years in various prefectures of Japan and Sushi Kata brings the flavors and quality of the food back to me each time I go there.

From the sashimi and nigiri, rolls and hand rolls, to the katsu curry and thick udon noodles. Sushi Kata is the best Japanese food experience you'll find in the Portland area. Others may have a prettier atmosphere, but if it's authentic Japanese cuisine you are looking for, Sushi Kata is the place.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

“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.“

“Some of the best sushi in Portland for decades, going back to when it was Sushi Takahashi 2 (at a different location). Highly recommended. Great options for vegetarian sushi as well!

Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options available, and when they're not too busy, the chef makes fantastic custom rolls as well.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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 ?“

“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“

“Greetings ?.

Got treated to lunch here and it was pretty good. Ordered the special, Mongolian Chicken, and it was a good price at $10.99. Tasty with a kick, good meat and veggie to rice ratio. Would definitely get again.

Enjoy watching the Koi fish and place has a relaxing atmosphere. Food came in a timely manner and excellent service.

Thank you ?.“

Kid-friendliness: My kids love going to Clackamas town center with me n my spouse“

“This little tiny place has great chicken and beef teriyaki, Angry Orchards ,and a perfect little hiding spot to sneak to and hide out and play poker! What else do you need? Plus the Employees are quick and polite,and leave you alone! Sweet!“

“I don't really like visiting here because of neighbor hood . Located near Homeless Camps and allot of Apartments . So people have easy access . I have seen fights there , car wrecks , drug deals , dogs get hit by cars . Tents across the street . Bad location for friendly nice people . I think the food is not really cooked properly and the drinks taste not so good . The workers or owners are not so helpful.“

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

“I love having date night here. The sushi and chicken katsu is delicious. Chef Marc and Polly are the kindest people.“

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

“It never takes more than between 10 to 15 minutes for my takeout to be ready! They wear masks and are Covid conscious! The food is excellent!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Good food, super nice staff. Was there for happy hour, good prices on drinks. Got the corn ramen which was underwhelming, so if we come again it'll definitely be for the sushi which was delicious. Brother had their curry and loved it. And the takoyaki was bursting with flavor.“

“I was craving some sushi and bomba and thankfully this is right across the street from my place. The sushi was extremely fresh and delicious. The mango boba I got was so good! It is sometimes hard to find good, fresh boba. The real star of the show was the spam masubi. The spam was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The staff was very friendly, we will definitely be back!“

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

“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!“
