The food is great, best chicken teriyaki in town. Dressing on the salad is great. The cheap plastic containers that they put their food in constantly collapse. The forks they send with to go orders are 100 percent trash. I ordered today and again the food was sticky and gross in the bag, leaking everywhere and for the I don't know how many times I ended up spilling the entire portion of chicken on the floor because of the flimsy containers. read more

The food is great. There are only a few seats, so it's mostly take out. If you don't like teriyaki, this is not the place for you since that's mainly what's on the menu. The chicken is best. I absolutely love Du's. read more

I'm sad to write this review. My very first experience was back in '03. I remember the family working hard with a smile and the chicken was absolutely delish. Infamous hole in d wall. Fast forward May 2026, personnel has changed. And I ordered the beef yakisoba, chicken and rice, pork and beef rice, chicken yakisoba. The noodles were hard, overly salted on sauce and the meats, and the veggies looked huge, like I'd choke on the carrots. The broccoli tasted like it was soaked in teriyaki sauce. Almost like You can taste the rapid paced cooking, and putting together the dishes was not made with love at all. DU's --please bring back the magic. read more

I ordered two yakisoba and chicken to go, they weren't busy, they made one after 10 minutes, and I said I ordered two, so the guy had to make another one. Long wait, the place has gone down hill. The food was super salty and drenched in teriyaki. For $33 for two was so not worth it, oh well. Disappointed. read more

A Portland staple! If you like teriyaki, but haven't been to Du's, What are you even doing with your life?! Always delicious. Recommend the chicken or beef teriyaki & the Yakisoba. I'm pretty sure you just cannot go wrong here. Don't be deterred by the unwelcoming parking lot. It's worth the struggle. The owner (not always on site anymore) is incredibly friendly & personable. The shop is kind of a hole in the wall, but all the best places usually are. read more

Du's Grill - 5. Chicken & Beef (ordered extra chicken) - Barbeque Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Used to go here all the time and loved it. Same family owned and operated it, now different staff - not sure about ownership. The person at the counter had little customer service and seemed way more interested in the to-go orders. The drink machine was down, no ice either, a case of plastic water bottles was on the floor and there were about two choices for sodas in the refrigerator. I had my usual teriyaki chicken with rice and salad. The salad came without dressing (I actually ordered extra) and had to ask for it, the chicken was very dry! I ate in and each table used to have bottles of teriyaki sauce, hot sauce, and occasionally extra salad dressing - none of that was available. Sad experience as it used to be such a friendly, well-run local spot with the best teriyaki in town. It's really declined and I won't go back. read more

Honestly the best (only?) teriyaki in town. Portland seems lacking in teriyaki, so at least we have the best of the best. Always fast, friendly service and food is consistently great. read more

We have been going here for years but times have changed. The dinner was a far cry from what they used to do. Dinner was 2/3 the size it used to be. They have watered down the sauces and are using cheaper grade of dark meat so it heavily lacked in flavor! They replaced front counter gal with an self order iPad that felt liked it had not been wiped down in over a week Floors were dirty Large menu screens are broken and dark. So very very sad! read more

Simple but delicious. Only thing I didn't like is that they cut the chicken and pork on the same cutting board. My dad would never go for that but it was okay. read more

Du's Grill - Chicken Teriyaki - Barbeque Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I started going to Du's in 1995 when I lived in Portland, off Sandy. It was a staple 2-4 times a week. I was sitting at a bar in Scottsdale yesterday and struck up a conversation with a guy who said he was from Vancouver, WA. He mentioned his favorite place was across the bridge in NE Portland, so naturally I asked where? "Du's Grill"... I about fell off my chair. Prompted me write a short note. This is a great place and glad to see they are still there. read more

This place never disappoints the food is amazing and yummy and they give you large portion as well. I've been going here for years coming from Beaverton. I'm sad the Beaverton location closed it was down the street. Highly recommended DU's. read more

I pity the poor lost soul who would give Du's anything less than 5 stars. The food is sooooooooo good! And the folks are nice. #dus4life read more

Du's Grill - Couldn't wait dug in before the photo - Barbeque Near Me - Portland, Oregon

As a fourth generation Asian American I've had my fair share of teriyaki. This place has been hyped up so much that honestly I'm not quite sure what expectations I had. I don't know what got into my brain but I felt I had to have the chicken. So I got the chicken and the pork. The chicken was good. It was juicy enough. Nothing exceptional but in my opinion chicken is really easy to screw up. The pork had some good flavor on it. Nice char on it. Juicy enough. I liked it. I added some sauce but I think I added too much but that was my fault. If I loved salad I would appreciate the amount of it. Teriyaki salad has two kinds of dressing. Creamy and garlic ginger bomb. I guess I'd choose creamy. It was ok. Price was a little high. But it's possible I've completely lost touch. The soda machine was broken. I don't know if it always is, but I really wanted one. Ambiance is nothing special. On par for sandy boulevard so I'm not offended. Is it good. Yes. Is it worth crossing town and making it a compulsory Portland meal? That might be a stretch. read more

Du's Grill - Chicken & Pork Teriyaki - Barbeque Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I really love this grill -- the food is delicious and the service is quick. The only downside is that it's pretty far from where I live, so I only make it out here every few months. Parking isn't great either, but the food keeps me coming back. I heard they had a location in Beaverton that didn't last, which is a shame. Honestly, I think it comes down to location and visibility. With a better spot and more advertising, this place could do really well. read more

I recently was following an influencer on some of the food places she raved about and teriyaki chicken is one of our staples that we love in our household. I was so excited to check out Du's based on her video! I called in to order takeout and I picked it up easy peezy - lots of parking on a weekday. The restaurant smelt good. I am a mobile-muncher, LOVE eating while driving, so I dug in. I loved the salad. I tried the chicken without any sauces and noticed it was really dry and overcooked. I poured the teriyaki sauce on it and not only was there not enough sauce in that teeny cup, but the sauce didn't fix anything. I do have to admit that the sauce is pretty tasty and I would've been happier with a lot more of it. My son had a bite and said it was too hard. I was so bummed because of all the hype! I'm not sure if I'll go back since there are so many other teriyaki chicken places to try. I unfollowed the influencer after this. We just have different palettes! read more

I've never been to this restaurant in person so I can't speak for the service or ambiance. But, my supervisor brought me a chicken teriyaki meal from Du's and I love it ! I have never heard of Du's till today. A coworker commented that a lot of people at our workplace eat at Du's and I can see why. Simple and straightforward. Easy to digest and packed with protein. Generous portions for the price. YUM! read more

Great food and friendly staff and I love their sauces for the teriyaki chicken and rice

My last review of Du's was in 2016, but I've been going since at least 2007. Still--one of if not the best tasting anything in Portland. That's what she said. Honors: They were about to close for about an hour to service the grill (in the early afternoon), but after learning I was visiting from DC, fired up and made me two chickens extra sauce to go. read more

Have been eating here for years. Always good and consistent food. Sometimes they are too busy to actually listen to what you want to order if you want something slightly changed. That can be annoying. read more

This place is the definition of a hole in the wall...staffed by friendly people, with moderately quick service on a busy busy night. I enjoyed the chicken teriyaki/beef teriyaki. The pirtion was generous. I had to take half of it home. But that's a great problem to have. Next time, I'm gonna stick with just the chicken teriyaki, and make sure to ask for more teriyaki sauce. read more

Du's Grill - Chicken and beef teriyaki - Barbeque Near Me - Portland, Oregon

food was okay but very unsanitary conditions and really should be shut down until they could get it cleaned.

The chicken salad is my absolute favorite! It came with this really good salad dressing and teriyaki sauce. It's very tender cooked yet grilled on the outside. read more

Du's Grill - Chicken salad - Barbeque Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I would rate this closer to a 3.5 stars but upgrading due to the price point & quickness from when we ordered. I had Du's bookmarked after reading an article of Amine's favorite local spots to check out and who doesn't enjoy some teriyaki!? It was pretty late in the night so glad they stay open later and even when we arrived there were a couple groups enjoying their meal and ordering for pickup which is a good sign for me. On the menu it's pretty simple where you can get one meat or do combinations with two. This time I ended up getting the chicken teriyaki and the beef yakisoba to try something else out. They run you ~$11+ for entree which really isn't that bad! We got both our entrees within 10 mins but as we were waiting we could smell the grilled chicken and it smelled so good! The teriyaki comes with rice and a side salad as well with that you order. Salad was nothing special and rice wasn't bad but could have been cooked a little longer. As for the chicken I'm a little torn since I loved the char and flavor buuut would have preferred more sauce. There was hardly any leftover sauce after the rice absorbed it so was a little try for leftovers. The entree did last two meals so worth the price point. The yakisoba was actually the opposite where there was more sauce than the noodles that were in the entree. It wasn't bad since it added the sweetness to the meat and veggies but would have enjoyed it more if there were more noodles to soak up the excess sauce. If all else fails be sure to pour it over the rice from another entree you get. read more

So good! Teriyaki. I haven't found better in Portland. Just really good. The only better is Seattle The origin of teriyaki read more

So good! Was introduced many years ago. Thankfully they're now open on Saturday's so I can get my weekend fix.

This place used to be the best. Last time we had it was few years go. After Covid. The price increased w smaller portions and dry meat. Not sure if they changed owners but probably won't be returning read more

(Updated January 17, 2023) I have been a customer since 2016. Du's Grill used to be my favorite restaurant for teriyaki chicken. I ordered two chicken teriyaki combos. The portion sizes have gone down and prices have gone up. I understand having to raise prices due to inflation, but you cut the portion sizes in half, this is just greedy. I won't be returning and I can no longer recommend your restaurant to friends and family. read more

Average and definitely does not meet the hype. Good amount of food, prices are normal. Its was ok. Had the chicken and beef and wife had the yakisoba. Chicken was cooked too long, beef too fatty. Sauce was good. read more

Good teriyaki chicken. Love the combo with the salad. They are a bit skimpy on the sauce so I recommend asking for more. They will charge you for it. read more

Pretty good food. Love the sauces at the table. Simple menu ,not hard to choose what to eat which is nice. Had a one track mind on what I wanted heading there anyways. Chopped spicy chicken with rice. Same as everywhere else nowadays , overpriced ( 1 star off) and they apparently charged $2.00 for using my card after checking my checking acct. So took off a star for that. Maybe there was a note by card reader that stated that ,if so I missed it. Still, a pet peeve of mine. read more

Shady pricing!! Menu says Yakisoba is $14 or $15.50 with meat. Ordered 1 Chicken Yakisoba and 1 Pork Yakisoba for pickup and was charged not $31, but instead they rang it up as $15.50 + $14 + $6 for "Additional meat". Too bad because I've been a pretty regular customer here and the food is great - but after this I will probably not return if this is what they're going to pull when getting rung up. read more

BEWARE THERE ARE RODENTS AT THIS LOCATION! The health department has been notified of this issue. Just last night my family went here and ordered two meals. While waiting, a large rodent crawled out from under the front counter and scurried into the kitchen. I ran out as fast as I could and my husband was alarmed so he came out after me. I was in absolute disbelief. I told him there was rodents and we have to get a refund! The man running the front seemed aware of the rodent issue and gladly refunded us. read more

Stopped in to order. The place was filthy. Service was 20-30 wait. Piles of cooked food just sitting on the grill getting cold. Original owner was great. This new one. Not so much. read more

I always get the Chicken Teriyaki whenever I come to Du's. It's my favorite teriyaki place in Portland! While I've heard Du's has gone down in quality with COVID, I've only had it post-pandemic and it's absolutely delicious! I can't imagine how it could be better, but I guess I'll just have to wonder. Very reasonably priced for the amount of food you're getting. I am OBSESSED with the poppyseed dressing!! I wish I could buy a bottle for myself. If I could change one thing it would be more side salad so I could have more dressing :P The staff is always wonderful and the food comes out fast and hot. 5 stars!! read more

Du's Grill - Chicken Teriyaki - Barbeque Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Unfortunately this Du's location has gone downhill and I've been going there since it's opening so many yrs ago. It's evident that the emphasis is on the Beaverton location & the who's who in the sports, music world ordering & getting their picture taken as being a customer & fan. I get a smile from one of the cooks as he knows me as a long time customer but as far as the cashier? Customer service isn't her specialty. It's too bad the owner has put this location on the back burner....no pun intended. He doesn't seem to care. I know the west side is close to his home but why ignore your flagship location? I will never understand. I will try again in hopes attention will get paid to the not so great reviews. My original review was over nine yrs ago and at that time it was the bomb! read more
