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 💖.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ☺️“

“best salmon and squid salad ever!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Probably my favorite sushi spot so far in Portland. Lovely service! I got the Poke Don and partner got the Salmon Special, both were delicious and big portions! Definitely more of a home style mom n’ pop rather than most of the “fancier” spots in the city.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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“

“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 ?.“

“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

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.“

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

“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!!“

“I've been here twice in the last couple of months and I absolutely love this spot! Great, authentic food, friendly staff and pretty decent prices especially for the quality that you get. The presentation of everything is so pretty too! On top of all that, everyone there is very patient with me when I try to use some of my very limited Japanese :)“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We've been loyal customers of Yaraimura Maru for the past 3 years, and it continues to be one of our favorite spots! The food is always amazing—this time I had the Abu Udon and Shoyu Ramen, and both were absolutely delicious, as always. Cynthia and Phil were awesome—so kind, welcoming, and attentive. Their warm service really makes the experience extra special. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and great people!“

“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“

“So yummy! And walking distance. :)“

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