This is the first place that I ever tried sushi. It was a great experience. The staff was very helpful in explaining what different items were (for this novice!) A fun location in the heart of the Lloyd Center area. I have returned...

Great unagi
Koji is a nice sushi bar right downtown. It's small, but I've never had trouble getting a seat. Their udon noodle soups are very good and I always get the unagi (cooked eel - 2 pieces).

Time and money to waste required
After living in Japan for 2 years, I think I know a little about Japanese food. It's hard to eat Agedashi-tofu that tastes like onion rings. From the time I sat down to the time I was served, my lunch hour was over. When I told the waitress that the tofu tasted like onion rings, she asked, "Do you know what it is supposed to taste like?" I guess she wouldn't know herself because when I first placed my order, I had to repeat it in English by saying, "I will have the tofu in sauce lunch special" Authentic...not! Quick...think again! Worth the time and money....only if you don't know Japanese food and like the taste of McDonald's. Go to Saburo's in Sellwood instead. The wait may be long, but once you are in, the food is fast and the portions are as large as they are tasty.

Japanese? I don't think so.
THe wait staff is incredibly rude and the service is slow. The food was no better. I would not recommend this restuarant, and it is definately nothing like Japanese food. I am Japanese, and the chefs there certainly are not, or they would never serve such horrrendous meals.

amazing tuna sashimi!
I went here on the advice of some friends. I went during a Friday afternoon and got seated promptly. I had some of the best tuna sashimi I've had in a long time. The tuna was glistening and just melted in my mouth. I also was excited to find another of my favorite dishes, cold soba noodles--so refreshing on a hot day. The Unagi I had was also excellent too. I can't wait to go back and try the ramen noodles with miso and more sashimi.

This place works
Granted, its not a four-star restaurant, and service can be inconsistent, but have a little heart. This little spot is still good for decent and inexpensive japanese food. I like the udon, chashu ramen, and california and spicy tuna rolls here.

Great sushi
We're regulars. Every time we feel like Japanese this place is our choice! Very simple scene, but food is great. Sushi loaded with fish, just the right amount of rice to balance it. The pieces are the right size. I've had all of their items on the sushi menu and all were just great. Chicken teriyaki is always juicy and tender. We also like chicken curry mild or spicy. Bento box is another of my favorites. Never had a bad meal there, simple atmosphere, price is right.

The Japanese are nicer than this...
Koji really had me won over for a while. The food is very good. I don't know if it is authenic Japanese, but it is always fresh and comes very prompt. Their sake is good to drink, and the seating arrangements are decent. Price is so-so and could be a little more affordable. The location is pretty cramp with the restaurant being downtown. I really became disappointed with Koji's last time I was there...

Food that looks and tastes like saliva
I used to really like this branch because of the location. Their curry and cold noodles used to be really good. But that was a couple years ago. For the last two times I was there, I was left disappointed. I ordered curry as usual. I was informed that the "hot" curry would not actually be spicy. Well I got my curry and found it otherwise. It was curry with swirls of hot sauce, and I mean lots of hot sauce that it tasted more like the sauce than the curry. I still didn't seem to mind because I realized I had opted for "hot" when the waitress asked. So I went there again, and this time, I wanted to try the grated mountain potato cold noodles. Even the waitress didn't know what it was like, just saying that there would be potato on the noodle (duh). When I got it, the bowl was filled with thousands of tiny, slimy, clear bubbles that was supposed to be grated potato.... I was speechless. I sat there staring at the thing because I really was wondering if it was saliva or potato! Yet I was brave enough to try it, but I had to quit soon after. It was simply the grossest looking and tasting thing I'd had. I called for a check, and nobody asked why I didn't eat it. Not going back.Worldwide > United States > Portland, OR > Sushi and Japanese Restaurants
