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.“

“Absolutely one of my favorite teriyaki spots near Portland! The incredibly kind and welcoming lady that works the chash register members my order every time!! That kind of customer service is rare and it doesn't hurt the food/ portions are great.“

“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!“

“Great conveyor belt sushi place! A little busier than other spots, but we loved the mix of options on the belt (especially the salmon-focused ones). Plus they gave my daughter the chopstick helpers right at the beginning, she was happy as a clam.“

“This is a simple small place with good food, large portions, and a very attentive staff. Stopped in for lunch on a whim, because we knew they were new and hadn't tried them yet. We were delighted with the freshness and taste. Also thrilled that they had spring rolls that were rice paper for those of us that have to avoid gluten but love a crunchy roll. Everything nicely presented and many sauces to choose from. Could suit just about anybody. Highly recommend“

“I came in to try the number 9 Chicken and Beef teriyaki. The presentation was spot on and the dish was big enough to make you full. It looked as good as it tasted. The chicken was moist and had grill char on meat that gave some additional flavor to the chicken. The beef was moist, juice and had good flavor. The salad was fresh and crispy with the sweet flavorful dressing that tasted very good that went with the dish. The rice was cook good. Not too soft and not too hard. The cashier that took my order was fast and nice. Food came out with the quickness, cause i was very hungry. Which made me a happy customer. I would recommend to come try some of the food here.“

“Just moved into the area, decided this would be my first cart I'd try. They do chicken and they do it well! Reasonably priced. Reasonably generous portions of proteins. My only suggestion is cut salad and add more rice! However this is merely a matter of opinion. The important part is the chicken portions are extremely generous. It's delicious and I'm sure I will return! Salad was well dressed without drenching it, potstickers were neither too crispy or soggy, just right. Well done!“

“I have been going here eating in person and doing take out for at least 15 years. In all those years I have never been disappointed. The food is excellent and the service to match. The prices have barely changed in all this time with portions being consistent and great value. Two can easily eat here for $30 or less leaving full and happy. Highly recommended to anyone.“

“best salmon and squid salad ever!“

“Amazing sushi and good flavor“

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

“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.“

“Been around since I was a kid and still the most authentic sushi place in Portland. They've got rolls for both the western sushi audience (tons of fillings and toppings) and absolutely BEAUTIFUL fish for the more simple and classic sushi. It can get pricy depending on your appetite, but for the $40 range it's basically unbeatable“

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

“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!“

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

“Wow! Finally a great sushi place that is close by. Don’t let the outside fool you, the atmosphere is amazing, very clean and classy. The service is 10/10. Very friendly and comes by often. The sushi is just *chef’s kiss*. We placed our order and the first roll was in front of us SO fast, had to have been within 5 minutes.
Overall, great experience. If you want great sushi, great service, and a clean, well kept place to dine, stop by. You won’t regret it.“

“Ordered teriyaki chicken, spicy pork and shrimp fried rice to go. Really liked the chicken teriyaki. Didn't care for the salad. I definitely got a lot more chicken then my husband got spicy pork. The shrimp fried rice was ok, only had about 5 shrimp in it. Definitely recommend the chicken teriyaki.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“The ramen here is always amazing, but they recently started offering sushi and I can’t even express how phenomenal it is. Huge portions of super fresh fish at a REALLY reasonable price. Definitely come try it, an added bonus is that the service is always prompt and friendly! Pictured: spider roll, salmon nigiri, yellowtail nigiri, fatty tuna nigiri, salmon roe with quail egg.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“Great atmosphere and great food“

“Loved them in the Airstream. Love them even more now, just South of Tacoms St..SoTac❤️“

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

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

“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.“

“Washabi sushi is one of a unique place to try donut and burger sushi. The staffs are pretty nice and friendly. Foods are absolutely delicious and tasty with nice presentations. I would love to come back and introduce my friends to visit this place.“

“We came in about an hour before closing, and the service was excellent. I got the Chicken Teriyaki, and my girlfriend ordered the Tuna Bowl. Everything was fresh, delicious, and prepared quickly. The food tasted great, and the staff was friendly and efficient. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“This place is the perfect terekai place to go to. The food is wonderfull and the staff is incredibly pleasant. They call me by name and they greet regulars with their name also. Super respectfully and I will defenently be coming back any chance I get!“

“While visiting Portland, I came across Momoji, a small sushi restaurant that turned out to be a great find. Even though it's not a big place, the quality of the food really stood out. The sushi rolls were fresh, flavorful, and made with care. My favorite was the Salem Roll, which had an awesome combination of ingredients and tasted fantastic. I also decided to try the sushi burrito since it was something different from my usual order. It was unique, packed with fresh ingredients, and much more filling than I expected. I ended up finishing the whole thing. The staff was friendly, my food came out quickly, and the overall experience was excellent. I always enjoy finding small local restaurants that put so much effort into their food, and this place definitely did. If you're in Portland and looking for good sushi, Momoji is worth checking out. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm back in Oregon to try even more from the menu.“

“They are the best sushi bar I have found in Vancouver and they are just as good at their Hillsboro location! Amazing food for a good price! Try their creamy scallop hand-rolls, they are to die for!“

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

“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.“

“I had a great experience here! As a mom of a toddler they got me a high chair before I even sat down. The portions were great and I’m a vegetarian and they had options ! 10/10 would recommend!“

“I was tried hibachi salmon last wednesday, because when i asked to the guy who take my order what menu is recommended? He said that salmon. But im still curious for the steak, and i coming today to order steak but i didn’t meet that guy. And both is the best, the salmon cooked well and the steak also good. They can cooked as my request, i’ll coming again soon for another menu!

Ps : i choose this foodcart because gluten free!!“

“I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place is. Wow! The food is delicious! I travel a lot because I'm a trucker, and I'm always disappointed at how bad the food is at most restaurants I visit, so I was not expecting this place to be good.. but, I was wrong.. excellent food.“

“the cook was absolutely amazing“

“Food are really great. Service are superb👍“

“Soooo bomb! If you like Sushi, this is the spot! Everything is made fresh and carefully crafted. The Sundobu Stew was incredible. Also got the App Sampler (I could buy that sauce by the liter), Edamame, Yalisoba and some rolls.

The Naruto Roll is SO REFRESHING! Las Vegas Roll was huge. This is my favorite spot in all of Oregon.“

“Nori is my favorite sushi in Portland. The prices are just right and the service is quick and kind. The people that work here are personable and attentive. I always get the spicy edamame and the Cherry Blossom roll. It’s the all time best sushi roll in my opinion. Please run, don’t walk, to Nori for a late lunch/dinner.“

“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“
