31 Best Japanese Restaurants near Washougal

“Quick, casual spot for teriyaki done right. Generous portions, tasty sauce, and fast service even when it’s busy. Decent value for the price and a solid go-to when you want something quick without sacrificing flavor. Would recommend to anyone in the Washougal area looking for a reliable lunch or dinner option.“

“This is the spot! The food is delicious , the restaurant is clean and comforting , and the family who owns this spot are the SWEETEST people ever .“

“Had the pork teriyaki bowl and it was really good. Friendly staff, talked with me for a while too. I will definitely hit this place up when I am back in town.“

“Excellent pho place close to home. The owner Hung is such a nice guy and always happy to see us back to the restaurant. Their grilled pork vermicelli bowl is so packed with pork that just fill you up.
Just tried their special Pho King bowl at $16.50 the best price around. Happy to support the local restaurant.“

“Yami sushi is easily the best all-around Asian food that you can get in Portland and their difference is in the small detail of each dish, every presentation. Each sushi roll is jampacked with flavor and bursting with ingredients in a perfect harmony and presentation. You can really tell the love that the chefs put into every single roll that they make. The quantity is also very generous, and portions will put you in a satisfying coma afterwards. They have a lot of various menu items, none of which you can go wrong with selecting. Whether that’s noodles, soups, rice dishes, sushi rolls, or the underrated appetizer/starters (spicy edamame 🔥, seaweed salad, tempura) and desserts ( Bing Soo is better than any standalone place in Portland ). They also have a lot of interesting beverage and alcoholic choices. The environment is very family run and cozy, and the real beautiful orchids and plant decorations on each table are very nice touch. The soy sauce is also handmade? I could drink a whole bottle.

The service is always very warm, welcoming and responsive. They take care of you right and it doesn’t take much to feel familiar.

Shout out to the kalbi item on the menu, which is also better than any Korean restaurant I’ve been to in Portland. A place full of hidden gems and lovely individuals working hard in their community.

Tastes like the Korean home I know and love.“

“The sushi here is fresh and delicious! Had veggie and spicy tuna rolls and the veggies were fresh and crisp, and the tuna was generous.
The server was super busy and you could tell she was stressed, but still made time for a genuine smile and answered my questions, and even brought my to-go order outside to me where I was waiting with my dog when it was ready.
Highly recommend for food and service!“

“I can’t believe it took us so long to come try out Muteki! The decor is so cute, but most importantly their food goes CRAZY- I was so excited to try I forgot to take a pic before having a few bites of the black garlic ramen hahaha. The noodles are nice and thick with a good bite, and the chashu pork is thick cut and pre seared- it’s SO good!

I also have to say that I saw a review dinging the prices- their bowls def cost a couple bucks more than other spots, but I’d have to argue that it’s fully worth the price both in value and quantity. They’re practically pho bowls, and on top of that they do NOT hold back on toppings. We each got a full egg instead of just a half, and SO much pork! Also plenty of bamboo shoots and mushrooms to enjoy 🥰 Realistically we could have split one bowl and still been full. I’m stoked to come back and try their dumplings next time!

The one thing to note- if you park in the parking lot by Red Robin you’ll be able to enter through that side, but there isn’t a door chime to let the staff know someone’s arrived. We showed up while it was slow, so we crossed the restaurant to open the front door to let them know we were here and someone immediately came to seat us, but if we hadn’t done that they may have not realized we were there right away!“

“There was a mishap with my order through DoorDash but I made a call in to the store and Bo was quick to correct it. I just wanted to give a shout out because a little bit of customer service goes a long way these days and I’m happy to say the service and the food was 10/10!! Thank you Bo!!“

“I always order takeout online from here. The sushi is delicious, and there’s a huge selection for a very reasonable price. I’ve tried many sushi places in the area, and this is still my favorite in terms of quality and value. I’m very picky when it comes to sushi, so that says a lot. Long story short, this place is definitely worth your attention!“

“I love Bento Plus. There stuff is great and not too expensive. The couple who owns the place works there pretty much all the time, and they are lovely. I hightly recommend this restaurant.“

“FAIRLY GOOD FOODStopped by here after a water polo game to have supper with my daughter.The karaage salad was good, but the chicken is garden variety popcorn chicken. It does not taste like it’s been marinated in soy sake and does not have the proper karaage fry.The agedashi tofu was perfect!“

“Food is excellent!! Owner is friendly and so kind to my granddaughter!“

“Vancouver's newest food cart at oak tree station. I don't think I've ever seen hibachi done in a cart before. The prices are really good. I foresee this to be very popular. Check out my profile for more great eateries and craft cocktail bars. ✌🏼“

“great food definitely will be trying again😁💪🏾🔥🔥💚“

“I love this place. I stop by after work and always get their chicken and beef and its the best! Today i got their lunch special. service is great. I highly recommend this place to all my family & friends. Even customers at my job. Stop by and check them out.“

“Great food with plenty of selections. Fast service. Can get crowded at times as it’s a smaller shop. Wait time not usually long during popular hours. Other times no issue with plenty of seating choices. Have seating available at the counter and can watch the chefs prepare the dishes. Family friendly with plenty of non sushi sashimi options. The tempura bento box is a great choice. Parking sucks as the lot is shared by multiple businesses, Legacy clinic, and a hotel. The parking spaces are very small so don’t bring your oversized pickup.“

“As someone who has been eating here for years— This is THE place to eat! A small business whose food is at an affordable price you don't see anymore, but the food is absolutely delicious! Everything is all under $20!! What a steal!!
Everything always tastes fresh and cooked to perfection. The sauces are absolutely delicious, made in house! If you are worried about your dish being too saucy or spicy, you decide how much to your dish yourself via sauce cup. Understandable if the sauces are too spicy for your taste buds (no judgement here). If you want more sauce, just let the workers know to add an additional lil sauce cup and they'll happily add it for you.

Our favorite is the #19— it is the perfect balance of meat, veggies, noodles, and sauce. Other recommended items are the #2 & #12, but honestly all are good.
Thai iced tea is great❤️ you can switch the cream to whichever option available if you can't have milk.

Workers are always welcoming and helpful if you have any questions.
Place is very clean and have a bathroom if you need.“

“I had never tried this spot until I started working less than 5 min away. But I quickly fell in love, and will always stop by when I need a pick me up. Their gyozas are delish and their yakisoba noodles are so thick and yummy, with the veggies tasting very good as well.“

“The crunchy sushi donut is delicious! Me and my older sister come here a lot, to the point of them knowing we don’t like spicy stuff that much. My elder sister had a day where spice was absolutely horrible to her because her stomach hurt, and they swapped out the spicy tuna for the crab salad when asked politely! They have earned 2 loyal customers :D“

“We haven't even left this restaurant yet... I had to jump on here and praise this wonderful lady and her amazing food. Their salad dressing is made in house and their teriyaki chicken is astounding. This is the closest food I've found to Oahu, HI teriyaki!“

“Great Sushi i go for happy hour 3-pm,love the spring rolls and shrimp tempura and salmon“

“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.“

“I've been to this food truck park a few times and for some reason I never ate at this particular truck, but today was the day! Now I'm mad that I didn't try it sooner. The chicken was so tender and cooked to perfection along with the veggies. I'll probably go back and try something else tomorrow.“

“Now listen, ignore those last couple negative reviews. I have been a technician working out here in Gresham for a long time and I usually stop in this Joy Teriyaki for a bite whenever I am on a job nearby. I dont normally get involved in these online things but I saw some reviews that just do not make any sense.

I see a couple peeps talking about boycotting this place and saying they do not respect law enforcement. I think you folks have the wrong location entirely. There are several Joy Teriyakis around and they are all franchises (different owners). Even the top photo on this page posted by a customer is a completely different location!
Just last month I was in here and saw the cashier and our folks in red and blue having a perfectly normal and respectfull interaction. No issues at all. Plus there has been a army recruiting office just a couple doors down for over a decade now and I never see any of those guys complaining here!
It is a real shame to see a local business get a bad reputation just because someone likely clicked the wrong spot on there map. You folks posting that hate clearly ment to put it on a different shop.
God bless.“

“This place is so underrated!! Their Galbi (beef short-ribs) was DELICIOUS. I didn't have any expectation to be honest. I was hungry and craving Galbi and happened to be around that area. The portion was generous too. We made the special order so it might seems plated differently from the regular bowls and plates.

I'm not even a big fan of teriyaki places but this one surprised me. It is run by a Korean elderly couple. They were super nice. I wish they could gain more customers and sustain because I really like it but I live far from there. I’m definitely going back there whenever I swing by the Gresham area.“

“Joy Teriyaki is bomb dot com! It’s always cooked fresh and full of flavor. Portion sizes are always huge for the Chicken Yakisoba. Haven’t had any issues. Nobody in there around 11:30am for pick up. Plenty of parking outside. Tables are always clean and wiped down. Family loves the food too!“

“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!!“

“great food definitely will be trying again😁💪🏾🔥🔥💚“

“These types of places are normally hit or miss this one was a hit really good good food good service I felt like“

“We came through this part of town, so we decided to have dinner at this place. We ordered the number 57 Chicken Teriyaki with Beef Riblets and a teriyaki bowl. The Chicken tasted pretty good and moist with good flavor. The Riblets had lots of sweet flavors and tasted pretty good. The rice was almost perfect. Not too soft and not too hard. The salad that came with it, needed some dressing to make it even better. But it did help refresh the body.“
