“Just had one of the best experiences of my life at Lilia. Do yourself a favor and do NOT miss the tasting menu, which rotates weekly. It was an incredible value, and more importantly there was not one single disappointing dish in the 8-course lineup. Some stand outs were the amberjack crudo in aguachile: the fish was incredible and cut so pretty, and the aguachile was just the brightest and tastiest i’ve ever had. The quesadilla with huitlacoche, sprouting broccoli and marinated radish: never having tried huitlacoche I was shocked at how decadent and rich it tasted… every flavor in the dish worked like magic with the others. The pork collar: as soon as I touched a piece of the pork collar confit it fell apart under my fork, cooked to perfection. Like the carnitas of your dreams. And the chocolate & salted hazelnut tart with kumquats: probably the most interesting combinations of flavors and textures in any dessert I’ve tried… the kind of experience that’s just delightful every time you take another bite. Every dish was just a surprising explosion of flavors and beauty. This is exciting food. Absolutely no letdowns with the service (every staff member was enthusiastic and knowledgeable) and the ambience as well, but the food is truly mind-blowing.Vegetarian options: Every ingredient is treated like the star in these dishes, which means the vegetarian dishes were a burst of flavor, spice and texture. I had the roasted fennel with fennel harissa and the white asparagus with salsa pipián, pickled rhubarb and morel mushrooms and both were just excellent.“
“The food was amazing. Yes the price is a little higher than other places but the quality is the best. I have yet to find a sushi restaurant that serves it as good as here and it's not even close. The service was top notch as well. I will be coming back here and recommending it to others as well. A++“
“So glad I was able to try out this place. This place definitely lives up to its reviews. The packaging is so efficient and so cute. You get a cute carry out bag that is reusable, and it fits so much. I also loved that the utensil packaging came with a floss pick to make sure you don't have seaweed stuck in your teeth! Onto the food... I ordered the unagi don because I love unagi, and this bowl did not disappoint. I ended up adding some sliced cucumbers that I had in my fridge. The unagi is a generous portion and is quite flavorful. Because we did do carry out, the rice did get a little clumpy in texture. I would still get it again though My husband got the salmon don with extra fish (2oz). I think the extra 2oz is a necessary amount of fish, which can make the bowl a little spend but the fish quality was good. Overall I would come back again and try some of the other dons and poke bowls, but the unagi don may still be my go to... Definitely check this place out if you're in th“
“Amazing restaurant ! The food is delicious and the pricing is super affordable with generous portions. All the staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful. There is so much variety in food and drinks, I left extremely satisfied. The restaurant was incredibly clean and lively as well. 10/10 recommend!“
“Loved the little food cart and the overall atmosphere in the food cart pod. The Scotch Egg Sando sandwich looked impressive but ultimately the deep fried egg did not deliver on flavor (or texture). The bread was also very plain and didn't taste like shokupan.Overall, we loved the concept and menu and would come again to try a more traditional sando!“
“We have the impression that Japanese restaurants are expensive while not offering authentic taste, but the chef here has good taste. Lunch prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is elegant. We had the Braised Pork Belly, Tonkatsu Curry, and Bento Box (Salmon Teriyaki, California Roll, and Shrimp Tempura). Unfortunately, the shrimp tempura in the bento box was a 'deep fried shrimp' than Japanese TEMPURA, and the cutlet in the curry was disappointingly thin and lacked juiciness. Additionally, red pickled ginger is not used in Japan, as it tends to overshadow the curry's flavor. If FUKUJINZUKE, a classic curry accompaniment, is unavailable, it might be better to serve the curry without any side. (By the way, red pickled ginger makes an excellent garnish for beef bowls.??) The staff was so pleasant.?✨“
“Tried Fish & Rice for the first time after reading all of the great reviews and I'm happy to say that it was a great place! We got a few rolls from here and even though we thought the prices were pretty hefty compared to competitors, the rolls themselves were delicious, I especially loved the spam roll!The decor of the restaurant is very welcoming and cozy, with large tables suited towards big groups and a few high table chairs for singles or couples. The only thing I disliked about our visit here is that there is a smell that gets into your clothes which is not pleasant. Once we left, the next day our jackets smelled like the restaurant and we had to wash all our clothes from that visit to get rid of it.“

“Ramen Ryoma in Portland, Oregon, is a haven for ramen enthusiasts and Japanese cuisine lovers alike.

“Had a lovely early dinner here before a show at Moda on a Thursday. Service was prompt, extremely knowledgeable, and everyone was so kind and helpful. I have the palate of a five year old child so I stuck to the basics but the others in my party had much more elaborate selections that they loved! All around delicious and fresh dishes, plus you can balance out your meal with some donuts, right next door ?“
“This place is great- it’s fresh, it’s fair priced, it’s healthy, it has 4 options menu what makes it better because food is prepared daily like the ones at home. The chef is such a friendly, polite and honest person that makes you feel welcome. Also it’s local and we support small family businesses.Vegetarian options: I ordered the kale with vegetables and I really enjoyed it! Highly recommended!“
“I love this place. I kept telling myself for years to go there every time I was at Uwajimaya, and never got around to it. Now I'm kicking myself for having not gone sooner. The service is awesome, the ramen is delicious and I can get in and out on time for my hour long lunch and have time to spare.Parking: Shares the parking lot with Uwajimaya.Kid-friendliness: They have booster seats and high chairs!Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp outside and they have tall and shorter tables for a variety of seating.“
“Small, cute little shop! Nice selection of drinks and Onigiri, my kids loved them. The only thing I didn’t really like was that each Onigiri was wrapped in plastic wrap and kept warm like that; I think it would be better to wrap in food safe paper and foil so the possibility of plastic particles getting into the food is lessened.“
“I am convinced that Portland is experiencing a sushi renaissance, and Koya Sushi is a shining example of this culinary revival. Regarding fish quality, I'd place it in the top 5 (at least) in the Portland metro.On both my visits so far, service was outstanding, the fish was exceptionally fresh and well-prepared, and the overall dining experience fantastic. You definitely won't find better Ikura or Takoyaki around here, that's for sure.Any sushi enthusiast should consider it a must to visit Koya.“
“I have read good and bad reviews and was leery of going to this restaurant. However, what a great experience!! The food was beyond great, it was fantastic. Service was exemplary. Sonia was our server and was wonderful. The minuses were the music was too loud and I didn't appreciate the servers cleaning the table while we still eating and talking but overall a very great experience. Costly but worth every cent.“
Sushi • $$
“Customer service was great! It was my first time there and the two gentlemen were so nice and explain the menu really well I ended up choosing the build your own poke bowl tempura shrimp as appetizer and the fan favorite dark horse.. everything was delicious ? I’ll definitely drive back from WA to this location to dine in with my daughter“
“Inviting ambiance. Polite servers. Amazing food. Easy parking lot parking. I stopped by at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon and it was surprisingly busy. I was quickly seated and ordered the Sake Aisuru Don and edamame. The Sake Aisuru Don (salmon sashimi, salmon belly, and minced salmon over rice) was extremely fresh. The meats were so refreshing and filling. The soft and silky salmon meats made my tastebuds sing. The edamame was portioned well and the light salt was nice. I'm pleased to have had an experience that makes me want to return!“
“The owners are very hospitable and kind. The food always tastes fresh and delicious. The serving amount is insane, two young kids can share a plate of chicken teriyaki.I went tonight with my two kids and parents, sat in front of the TV on the wall. As we are sitting down, the owner comes by and without a word, puts on cartoons for the kids to watch while we wait on the food (which came fairly quickly). The service was top notch, especially when the owner knew we were about finished and he dropped off to go containers and lollipops for the kids. It was a hit. Also, after leaving, more people flooded the restaurant. It was near capacity. This place does not disappoint.“
“I find the food and service here pretty good. They are very quick to take your order and fairly quick to get you your food. It's clean. It's a little more expensive than other sushi locations but it's reasonable for the food quality. I would recommend this place if you enjoy sushi.“
“I’ve eaten here, more than I can count on a single hand because it is that good! Ordered take out, when typically I eat in. Ordered the Japchae, Cheese Tteokbokki and the Chicken Teriyaki. Can never go wrong with any of these three! Food is made at a great speed and the flavors are always the same, each and every time I come around. Don’t go without ordering their Japchae, I can’t go without it!“
“We noticed this place on a random trip to the post office. It has a chill vibe with the graphics, open concept and music they play.We ordered veggie tempura and a salad to start. I ordered the Komo lemonade and added sake to booze it up!Rolls were spicy jalapeño roll, crunchy roll and the Hawaiian! All were delicious. We would return here!Vegetarian options: No specific vegetarian section but many options.“
“Nice sushi experience. I am a sushi lover but this place offered new flavors and textures that I have never had. I tried the green machine as many people posted pictures so it seemed popular and I had to try. It was a bit sweet for me but still interesting and good. The big island was really good, very unique flavors. I have never had a sushi roll with chrunchy peppers. Spicy edamame was spicy! Good but spicy so if you are a bit wimpy don't get it. I will be back to try new rolls!“
“I don’t remember what these orange wontons were but I remember they were really good! I didn’t get a picture of the sushi; must have been too excited ?The ramen and sushi were good as well.Went at lunch time and had decently quick service.“
“My adult daughter wanted to go here for her birthday. I had heard lots of good things, and now I know why. The treats were good without being too sweet, service was great. Not too busy at 8am on a Tuesday morning. Lots of variety to choose from. Thanks for making my daughter's bday happy!Wheelchair accessibility: Parking avail directly in front, sloped curb to get up on sidewalk, floors are easy to roll on & plenty of room. Thanks!“
“Go here for an authentic old school Japanese sushi house experience! Ingredients are top notch. With specials featuring the best of the catch. I look forward to going back with a large group. And straying a bit further off of the standard items.“
“The GOAT of traditional family style Japanese dinner and lunch in Portland metro. Best chicken katsu curry, best chicken karaage, best best best. It's been around for decades and is authentic and amazing. Less of a Ramen restaurant and more everything else. If I found this in Japan I would consider it as good or better than other Japanese restaurants I've been to locally there.“
“I have been going to sambi sushi since 2014 and let me be the first to tel you that The food is absolutely amazing every time. But what’s even better than the food is the amazing friendly staff that makes you feel at home. Their hospitality is out of this world. Best sushi I’ve ever had and they big tempura shrimp and veggie plate is to die for . Definitely recommend if your in the mood for some real sushi.“
“First time coming out to the Food Hall and it was an amazing experience. The range in food options will always help to ensure that everyone in your party can find something delicious.Although the hall is open seating, it creates an inviting atmosphere. Ambient low-lightning helps to create a safe and warm environment for a person to enjoy themselves. The pricing for food and drink items are skill solid. The counters, tables, and bathrooms are always being serviced and each vendor has their own unique presentation.All of the staff were extremely helpful and kind, but I HAVE to spotlight Brandon. The staff all rotate and work in each part of the Hall, where ether it be for ramen, drinks, or ice cream dates. Brandon is a true Swiss-army knife. His drink recommendations were wonder spot-on and he was super helpful when recommending dishes to order. Truly, being helped by Brandon helped to elevate an already great experience.The Food Hall will definitely be a staple restaurant for every future visit to downtown Portland. So happy that I decided to eat here!“
“Some of the best bang for buck food in the area. Portions are generous. I can barely finish the chicken and rice even when very hungry. Guy working at the front is very kind and enthusiastic and always greets me with a smile.If you need something to fill you up from empty and don’t feel like spending $15+, this is the go to.“
“Just finished ished another meal here and it was great again. Food, service, and atmosphere is wonderful. Music playing in the background isn't too loud. Fish is really fresh and rice to fish ratio is on point. Love the staff, they are really attentive.“
“I had sushi and a wagyu burger, no bun! I had a Dew Drop which was heavily perfect with the finest sugar rim I’ve ever tasted! The bar tender is super friendly very knowledgeable and kind. The best location for a date night after you could enjoy the moon light and the downtown atmosphere.“
“The food was really good! The service was also good everything was good. (By the ten year old).The adults enjoyed the sake and everyone enjoyed the ramen.Vegetarian options: Tofu appetizer, kimchi and cheese roll appetizer, salad appetizer, and vegetarian ramen.“
“Last week I was at the Convention Center for a conference, and a few of us came here for lunch. I ordered a combo platter for lunch, which included a Salmon Belly skewer. Seriously, it was the best salmon I've ever had. Just now, a week later, I thought of it again and had to call the restaurant to find out what it was. Go here, eat, be happy!“
“We love sushi… coming from Hawaii. I wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality & variety of fish. Their hamachi & salmon toro was delicious…I’d say it’s comparable to Masu but 1/2 the price. So you’re looking to down some sushi and not break the wallet. This is perfect.“
“Tucked into the food cartel in Beaverton, this spot stood out from the SMELL. I had the Garlic Chicken, a special of the day, and my mouth was watering even before I took a bite. The dish was well made, full of garlicky, sweet, and salty flavors. I'm giving it 4 stars because I thought it was a tad bit too salty, to a point that it was almost bitter. Another qualm is that I wish there were combination plates available :( but I do understand why they don't allow combination plates.“
“11:40a on a MondayThere are three tables, all occupied. We order the Inari, a Norimaki, and a Miso Soup. We eat the first two standing at a small bar. Then a table by the window frees up and we enjoy the miso soup there. It's all so good. We then get the three Dango to finish, and order a couple of coffee drinks and a Canele to go with them.Delicious flavors, unique atmosphere. The whole experience is delightful. Thank you!“
“Follow up to my visits here.When restaurants try to use sticky rice in place of sushi rice. It is not worth revisiting.Not sure what happened but I was disappointed.First time eating here, great choice!! Delicious sushi, and fresh. Prices reasonable too.이 맛있어요. 그들은 한국말을 한다“
“Wheelchair accessibility: There is actually an elevator to get in, but it isn't obvious. You have to go into the entrance next to the main entrance. I don't think there's a sign for Masu on that entrance even. We used it for our baby stroller.“
“Went here for the first time this week and it was AMAZING. We came in during a week day later in the night and we practically had the place to ourselves, our waiter Karra had superb service. The food was delicious to say the least and the menu had a good variety of options to choose from. The atmosphere was also great, very calm, dim, and somewhere you can get lost talking while eating for hours. We ordered veggie ramen, hello kitty (must try), and miso soup!“
“Small place. Some outdoor seats available. But today, some folks from my office made our orders online and some people went to pick it up. I ordered a Tiger roll and California roll. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were generous. Very worth the price for the quality.“
“Great food, great prices, large portion sizes, and best of all the owners are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I've been eating here going on 7 years, I always get the chicken and pork teriyaki and it's amazing everytime!“
“so happy they opened in my area this is definitely one of my new favorite spots. everything i've tried has been really tasty, they give good portions at a good price too. all the staff has been so friendly really a great spot to stop by when you get the chance.“
“Pretty quality sushi place. I'm not into sushi personally, but they have other options for Japanese dishes that are well prepared and made. Their miso soup is especially tasty. My friend really likes seafood and he said that this place is delicious, he even ordered seconds. Also, the establishment is clean and service is really efficient, fast, and nice. Definitely a good place in the area if you're into this type of cuisine.“
“They reopened under parking structure 2 right next to La Casita and Cafe Ole!Their food is pretty solid! Some of the better sushi burritos for sure. Tried the Sumo Kick and it's very tasty. Super fresh ingredients and everything went together very well. Great portion for the price.Totally would be back to try more!“
“We visit this place whenever we come to Portland. They make the crepes right in front of you with fresh ingredients which makes this place a must try. They take their time to prepare as it is freshly made. But well worth the wait. The only challenge is, if you prefer to sit and eat, there are not much seating around here as it is in a mall. We usually get their cone style crepe which makes it easy for us to carry around the mall.“
“The service here is always great. I try something new every time I visit. I have never been disappointed.Parking: The entrance is just a short walk from the parking garage exit door. You literally walk out of the first floor parking door and the restaurant is immediately in view. There's a cover from the garage to the entry, so if it's raining, you don't have to walk in the rain.“
“NOTE: portion sizes are larger than my photo suggests. I forgot to take a picture until I ate half. ?This place is a gem. Tastes great, solid portion sizes, and very consistent over the six years I've been coming here. I usually get the spicy chicken; it has just enough chili pepper to balance out the teriyaki sweetness nicely, but won't melt your face (add Sriracha as needed). I've also tried the chicken katsu, chicken yakisoba, and chicken teriyaki; all are delicious!Standard counter service; friendly but don't expect to be supremely catered to.Parking: There are four spots in front of the restaurant, and about a dozen more in the lot behind (shared with neighboring businesses). It can be a little challenging to find parking during the lunch rush, but it's never stopped me from going here.“
“I love this place so much! Just went for the first time and got the bacon breakfast sando and my boyfriend got the spicy katsu pork sando and we both loved them!! I was very surprised by how good the breakfast sandwich was, so much flavor and sauce. Still craving this every morning when I wake up. Can’t wait to come back for lunch.“
“So Jarana is actually the kitchen inside of the bar, Lulu. It was a bit confusing when we first walked by and were trying to figure out where it was. We ordered the saltado with steak and the ceviche as well. The steak was soooo tender. The sauce had good umami flavor. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Rice had such a good seasoned flavor. I will think about this dish for a while. The ceviche was also really good. I loved the mango and passion fruit to add sweetness. I didn't expect fried fish and fish chicharrones. So yummy.It might be a bit pricey, but the food is SO good!“
“The food here is delicious! They give great sized portions and the food is reasonably priced. We will definitely be back. The only negative is that the floor is a tile floor and the grout is really dirty. But the tables chairs and all the condiment containers have been wiped down thoroughly and are clean.“
