    The sushi is so fresh! Definitely one of the best sushi places we've tried. Service was quick and pleasant, definitely exceptional. The presentation of sushi was fun and creative. Definitely worth to try out if you're looking for quality sushi.

    The yuzu sake highball reminded me of the ones in Japan i loved 10/10! the bento box vibe was so cute and delicious i would get it again next time, it is very filling for two people since the rolls themselves are bigger than a normal roll

    What an absolute gem! First of all, great service. Both servers checked on us frequently, food and drink was brought out promptly, and it was all done with respect and a smile. We ordered the premium nigiri combo and sushi combo A. All cuts of fish were fresh, flavorful, very high quality, and BEAUTIFUL! The fact that both combos came with miso soup was a surprise to us as we have rarely seen an accompanying dish with a chefs choice combo at other restaurants. I appreciated the portion sizes of fish in each piece as well. We also ordered a salmon skin roll for an appetizer which was very good. Finally, three gorgeous pieces of hamachi sashimi that were presented in a stoneware dish containing dry ice. Nice effect!! Great value overall as this + two beers was $110. I'll definitely be adding this to our regular rotation.

    Amazing, fresh fish well presented and pleasing to the eye. Had our favorites including sashimi platter, shrimp tempura, ama ebi, soft shell crab, hamachi kama, and tonkatsu. The folks were very attentive and courteous. We enjoyed every bite by taking our time and savoring each of the different flavors. It was a zen like experience. Sitting at the bar felt like old times in Hawaii with the best chef, the freshest fish and the most satisfying dinner in a long time! WOW! A place to return for another peaceful meal!

    I've been to Koya Sushi a couple of times, and it's consistently top-notch. The sashimi is incredibly fresh and delicious--honestly some of the best we've ever had. The service is excellent as well. We'll definitely be back!

    Great quality fish and the staff we're all so warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back! We got two specialty rolls, a poke bowl, 4 pieces of nigiri, two miso soups, and a salad all for 80 dollars which is a great price considering the quality.

    While the food was very tasty, their prices are a little high for lunch. And it felt rather odd that the waitress kept walking circles around the tables while we ate. Then at 2 pm, the staff sits down at a table and eats, talking to each other with food in their mouths

    Shrimp tempura
    Craig C.

    BEST JAPANESE IN PORTLAND! Located in the old town area of Beaverton, this tiny little Japanese restaurant packs a big whallop! The food is fresh, beautifully presented, and the portions are big. I ordered the Bento box and easily could have shared it. So much food! All the sushi and sashimi were excellent, the tempura was wonderful, and we even had a delicious cold sake. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. Check out the amazing Shogun Tower Roll. If you come on the weekends, the place is small so there might be a wait, but the area is cute to walk around while you wait. BE BOLD, and try something new. Every dish is a delight. This will soon become your go-to place for great Japanese.

    Excellent service with a smile!

    Had an excellent lunch here today! Service, food and sake were perfect. It's a small space, so we arrived early to make sure we were seated well. Spendy? No. Worth every penny!

    Spicy tuna roll and Philadelphia roll

    This is one of our regular spots for sushi or a bento box. Their service is always great, food is excellent, and their pricing is reasonable. The sushi chefs create some really neat presentations with their different specials, always worth a gander even if it's for the table next to you! Highly recommend for a step up from a go-round.

    Toro Truffle Roll
    Hoson W.

    Koya Sushi was spectacular from the very first impression. Everything exceeded expectations--the warm hospitality, the stunning presentation, and, of course, the delicious food. My friend and I arrived close to closing time and didn't think we'd be seated, but the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which set the tone for the entire experience. As soon as the food arrived, I couldn't help but notice how amazing the presentation was. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Koya Sushi left such a positive impression that I'm already looking forward to my next visit for more amazing sushi!

    Monster Roll
    Jamie H.

    My husband and I stopped for dinner on our way to Grand Lodge after seeing the reviews on Yelp and we were so happy we did. The location is so cute and truly authentic. We ordered the monster roll and house roll as well as the Japanese chicken appetizer and all of it was amazing! The effort they put into their presentation is AMAZING! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We can't wait to go back!!

    "toro toro roll"
    Renee F.

    Koya Sushi used to be my top choice for sushi in Beaverton. i'm not sure what's happened, but it seems like they've been gradually slipping in quality. aside from their classics, like the hang ten roll, my favorite roll is (or was....) the toro toro roll. however, my handful of experiences ordering this roll in recent history have been wildly inconsistent and disappointing. they make it differently every time. sometimes they sear the toro, sometimes they don't. sometimes they forget the asparagus. the last time i ordered it, the fish smelled and tasted weird. this time, instead of layering a slice of seared toro on top, i'm fairly certain that they used regular tuna, crushed it up, and then topped the roll with that. for being a $25 roll, it's the least appetizing roll on my plate. the texture is all wrong. i'd rather throw back california rolls all day long than eat this even once. at this point, i think i'm breaking up with Koya. Update: Byung-Ho, thank you for your attention and response to this issue. unfortunately, there was no way to notify your staff of any issue to ask them to remake the roll because this was a take-out order. however, i have raised an issue in the past when we dined in, and the roll was not re-made at that time. the toro on top was seared too much til it was completely cooked through, and when i spoke with the staff about it, they told me "that's just the way it's made." i knew that wasn't true because i'd ordered this roll many times before. anyway, i posted a picture with the review showing how it was made incorrectly this time. crushed tuna on top of the roll is not how it's supposed to come. i hope greater attention is given to this roll and that takeout orders are inspected more closely in the future.

The crunchy roll was what I liked most but even that was not great. It seems like they add "Japanese Mayo" to almost every plate and on every roll in some way. The wasabi was super sus. The ginger looked like it was in a little trash disposal box and just sat on the table for guest after guest... gross... who knows what could have happened to it! Just way too much mayo... did I mention that yet?!? The wagyu was so chewy I ended up spitting it out... both pieces. The California Roll had way too much mayo... ...the novelty of the belt can only get you so far... and in this case it carried me right out the door with no intention of returning again soon... especially with so many highly rated options near by...

Agedashi Tofu & Kirimochi - Light batter on tofu and kirimochi, but enough to soak up the tempura sauce. - Kirimochi and tofu were both soft and chewy with a crispy exterior. - 10/10 2. Lobster Kara Age - Just what you would expect from Kara Age, crispy and juicy. Not too oily, not too much batter. - Yuzu mayo covers the oiliness of the fried lobster. Citrus sauce is not overwhelming. - 10/10 3. Sushi & Sashimi Combo (Sushi) - Excellent quality sashimi grade fish. No fishy aftertaste, rice was not overly sweet or salty and not overcooked. Fish slice size was larger and thicker compared to other restaurants. - 10/10 4. Sushi & Sashimi Combo (Sashimi) - Excellent quality sashimi grade fish. 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.

Just a little high a price for what I got. It's very possible I have been too loyal to my steadies which have a very good value. I could see myself coming back on someone else's dime or if I was feeling extra saucy.

Seaweed Salad (3/5): Fine and fresh, but pretty average. Sake Nigiri (3/5): Okay, but a bit heavy on the rice compared to the fish. Grilled Steak Roll (3/5): Steak, avocado, and cheese. It was fine, but the cheese flavor was too strong and there was too much rice, which took over the bite. Seared Salmon (5/5): Wow. This was the highlight of the meal. Very tender, perfectly seared, and full of flavor. This alone is a reason to come here. Smoked Salmon (3.5/5): Good and nicely balanced, with fish that was not too thick and a decent amount of rice.
