    Worth it for the curry rice with tonkatsu, which is so tasty and fresh. However, the service is pretty slow. Expect to wait a long time to order and then a long time to get your food (40+ min!). The staff is friendly though!

    I ordered take out this time! The server kindly took my order and I waited indoors. I tried their mixed fried lunch for $16. It was fried wonderfully and it was delicious! I had two fatty oysters, two shrimp, and two pieces of salmon. It was really nice, didn't feel oily and heavy. It came with rice, no salad and soup because it was take out. Overall, it was very good and delicious. I wish they still offered salad in the take out, I feel like that's very easy to do so and all the other Japanese restaurants I did take out also came with soup too, it's not that hard.

    Have been coming her for over 10 years. Consistency is good. Evenings can be a long wait, service of food can get backed up so you need to be patient. If you're not in a hurry, this is a place for good food. We love the bento choices, udon and sukiyaki dishes.

    This food was made in heaven. I don't think I've ever had better sushi. The wait staff were friendly, quick and efficient. The sukiyaki was divine. The dressing on the salad was light and delicious. The miso soup balanced the right flavors. Don't let the fact that this exists in a strip mall, deter you. Once you enter the restaurant, you are transported to Japan. Everything is authentic, fresh, friendly.

    I'm late in posting this from when I took the picture, but it is still on the menu and really delicious, the Makenouchi Bento, (B). It has tempura, tonkatsu, chicken teriyaki, and California roll. I ordered it to go, and it is a very busy place with specific/limited hours in which they are closed between lunch and dinner on weekdays and only open for dinner on weekends (and closed Mondays). It takes a while for the food to be prepared; so I went to place my to-go order and then did grocery shopping at Safeway in the same shopping center.

    Traditional Japanese cuisine with an extensive menu; inside has plenty of room with your typical sushi bar. Service efficient and friendly with smiles and answered the questions we had. Dishes very tasty, we shared which was a good approach, go check it out.

    I love this place. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and while the service may take a bit longer, it's worth the wait. The staff are always friendly, and it's a great spot if you want to take your time, relax, and enjoy your meal. Thank you for always taking such good care of us!

    My parents have been coming here for 26 years and I've been coming since I was a little kid and the food has always been really yummy and great quality. It's a cute little spot tucked behind Safeway and the waitresses are so sweet and provide great service. My favorites are the nabeyaki udon, beef teriyaki, and any of the bentos, but anything you get here will be good.

    Ikenohana is a very cool Japanese spot in Beaverton. The food is decent and it is priced very well. The staff is very friendly and are actually Japanese. It's rare to find a Japanese restaurant in Portland that is owned and operated by Japanese people so I thought this was a cool aspect of this restaurant. The interior decor is pretty dated but it is nice and clean. The service times were pretty long so that left a bit to be desired.

    Restaurant hours as of 2/29/24.

    For this 1/2 Japanese woman, I say it's the best Japanese restaurant around! Chicken katsu is made with breast meat. Tonkatsu is made with pork loin. My mom, who was born and raised in Japan, and 100% Japanese, likes their nabeyaki udon. My husband and son like their sashimi. Daughter likes their curry. This restaurant is always packed - both lunch and dinner. You might miss this little place in the Safeway plaza near Taco Bell and Dotty's. Don't be fooled by the mediocre outside because when you go in, you'll feel like you've stepped into an authentic place complete with japanese decor. Service is so-so and can be a little slow. They're not rude or anything, just don't seem to have any pep to their step. Have patience, your food will be worth the wait. For reference, I am adding a picture of their current hours (both google and yelp are wrong). Oh, they have a *delicious* saba mackerel lunch and dinner entree which I often get so I don't stink up my kitchen at home cooking for myself.

    Have their hours changed for takeout/delivery?

    I don’t know about currently, but I think about the time this question was asked, they seemed to close early. Yelp! said they were open, I drove straight there, about an hour to spare but closed. Ended up going to Toshie’s. Call ahead to be safe.

We've eaten at a few conveyor belt sushi places around town and the fish and rice are never that great, so it's a relief to find a place with sushi fish this good. I got the chirashi bowl, which for $18.99 is a great deal. There was 3-4 pieces of salmon, 3-4 of excellent tuna, a couple of seared tuna, a shrimp, 2 pieces of eel, and a wad of spicy tuna and a dollop of fish eggs. The rice was really good too. The serving size wasn't huge, but it was enough. My wife got the salmon bowl and it was less food - an appetizer would have helped. We will be back! Very good quality, nice people.

Hamachi was extra fatty and had amazing texture. Akami was not fishy at all, texture was great. - White fish on the side with yuzu sauce was a little fishy. Could improve, but overall an amazing dish with thick cut sashimi. Definitely satisfied expectations. - 8.5/10 5. Otoro Tuna Sashimi - Market price; reasonable price for the thick cut and quality. - Melts in your mouth, no fishy aftertaste. - Ordered after checking the fish quality from the sushi & sashimi combo. I had high expectations and the expectations were met. Great slices of fish. 10/10 ________________________________________ *Service: - Reservation was 6:30pm, but due to traffic, I arrived 15 minutes late. I had called in beforehand, which they kindly let us in despite the delay. Once seated and ordered at 7:00pm, pre-dinner sides, miso soup, and water were provided. Appetizers came out 10 minutes later, sashimi and sushi came out 10 minutes after the appetizers. Despite full seating, food came out fast, and of course with excellent plating and quality. Servers came around frequently to check on any needs. Overall, friendly servers, food quality is great. ________________________________________ * Atmosphere: - Overall very much satisfied. For the price of the items, quality and quantity was assured and tasted great. Restaurant was clean and quiet despite the full seating. Again, friendly servers and excellent food quality as well as fast serving time. Portland never really had great sushi/sashimi, but I definitely recommend coming here at least once, as the items I have ordered tasted great. Many liquor choices(wine, beer, sake, cocktails, etc.) and good choice of desserts as well. Would recommend if you dislike fish due to its fishiness since the sashimi and sushi here have no unpleasant aftertaste.

The one thing I didn't like about my last visit, a little bit of micromanagement coming out of the kitchen. In all fairness, a business owner should be critical of what's being plated and served. It's a reflection of the restaurant and the way they approach food. I do not want my food to be micromanaged, I want it to be finessed. This place is clean and traditional, but the bar is also set a little low on that traditional type of experience. This place is a comfortable eatery and not much more. The cultural takeaway is washed over by Ikea lables left on soy sauce bottles, a lack of attention to detail that easily transfers from the table settings to the delivery of food. It's a local spot but not a great date night spot. I was slightly disappointed with the overall presentation and quality. For instance, what a large plate of sashimi or nigiri is brought to the table, there is no explanation and the patron is left to wonder what some pieces might be. I've always nice when the server points out my favorite pieces and maybe something I didn't know about on my plate. The pieces of fish on the nigiri were massive. Let's remember that quantity over quality is not typically what you're looking for in a dining experience.
