    Make sure the lid is on...

    I have been craving curry for a long time. The curry hit the spot perfectly... The beef teriyaki was a different story. The meat was gamey and stringy. The chicken teriyaki was good. The customer service was good which bumped it up to four stars. They are right next to Fred Meyer which means that there is plenty of parking...

    Jalapeno Chicken

    First time ordering here and super happy!! I got this chicken with jalapenos and onions, and it's pretty awesome. Theres a good 2-3 jalapenos worth in here. Feels very worth what I paid!

    When I go to Gresham, it's only for Sakura Express and a little grocery run at Fred Myer's. My go to is the spicy pork. They do it just right. However, I went the other day to find new items on the menu!! Korean fried chicken!! If you never had Korean fried chicken then you're missing out. There are a few spots in Portland, but hands down Sakura Express has the best Korean fried chicken! Its extremely delicious! Portion sizes are generous for the price, the sauce is amazing, and the chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I tried the Sweet Heat so far, but it's always on my mind. I don't live too near, so I ate a chicken on our way home, and it still kept its crunchiness by the time we were home. This is key during Covid-19 times when we can't dine-in. Anyway, I can't wait to make a trip back to try the other flavors!

    Dirty bathroom, looks like mouse poop in the corner.

    Bathroom is disgusting. Which concerns me, if the bathroom is this bad, how clean can the kitchen be??

    First time eating here and I was pleasantly surprised! Really nice employees, fast service and yummy food. I ordered the yakisoba with tofu and it was well cooked and had lots of fresh veggies. I definitely recommend and will be back soon!

    They close at 9 and didn't answer the phone when we called in front 3 times .

    My friend used to live in the area and was surprised there was a new ramen shop in the…read moreneighborhood. She asked if I would be interested in trying it, and I was game, of course! We arrived on a rainy Saturday afternoon, and there were already some customers, but overall it was not busy. The staff greeted us right away and took us to our booth. The ladies were very accommodating with my friend's toddler by helping us get a child seat, a kid's drink, and a cute set of Peppa Pig training chopsticks. Needless to say, the kid loved it. One thing worth mentioning is their decoration. It's definitely meant to be maximally decorated with cuteness. On their feature wall, they had floor-to-ceiling shelves displaying Dragon Ball figurines. The rest of the restaurant was decorated with a lot of cute cat decorations. Also, there's no way you would miss the moving ramen advertising light box as it pulls the noodles up and down, grabbing your full attention. Seriously, I could stare at that machine for days. We ordered a black garlic ramen, miso ramen, and a chicken stir-fried noodle, and liked them all. The black garlic ramen has a layer of black garlic oil on top, making it look much darker and intimidating. To our surprise, the garlic flavor was subtle, so it was easy to eat. My miso ramen had a rich broth with two generous portions of chashu, with various toppings including corn, bamboo, wood ear mushrooms, and green onion. I had no problem finishing the entire bowl. We also got a bowl of stir-fried chicken noodles, and it was very generously portioned and tasted good. It was savory with a bit of sweetness. It was a big hit with my friend's toddler, as she kept asking for more. Overall, we liked this ramen shop. Not only does it have good food, it also has fun decorations to keep your eyes busy. If you are in the area and craving some ramen, we would recommend Muteki Ramen and Izakaya!

My favorite was the karaage since it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Personally didn't like the spicy wontons as much as wanted to. The ramen was not bad. The broth was pretty good and the noodles were thick. I was feeling a little bloated this day so didn't eat as much but everything was still pretty good. It was pretty chill the day I went and they had a lot of cool decorations.

    For the past week I have been seeing this establishment on my tiktok page, every scroll was a video…read morepromoting their sushirittos and so I got interested as it was nearby. I like how this restaurant is in a shopping center and there was a lot of parking available. Growing up in a city I absolutely HATED the street side parking, so I was excited that this was easily accessible. Coming in I was greeted and I sat down quickly, got my drink and punched in a few orders. I typically only eat a few certain things as I'm allergic to fish but like to indulge in other seafoods like octopus, shrimp, squid, etc. I wish I gotten more of the squid nigiri, it literally tasted like liquid gold. I definitely saw a couple of my orders on the belt and I felt bad they made new ones but I do appreciate if the order is put into the system they'll still make it fresh regardless if it's on the belt. The belt was FILLED with different items that I wish I got to try. It made me jealous of those who can eat fish because look at the rice to meat ratio It's a bit thinner from other sushi places I have been to but considering the little amount of rice definitely makes up for it. I also am surprised that I had no allergic reaction, usually at places like this I always have a reaction due to the cross contamination. I had a Benadryl ready on standby, but to my surprise I didn't need it. By far in all my time traveling from the east coast down to the west coast and trying the other restaurants in Southern California this was by far the cleanest and prettiest sushi restaurant. While waiting for my order of nigiris to come out I looked up and saw how gorgeous the layout was. That was a nice touch to my first impression here. I was a little bummed to see that it was canned boba, but they gotta stick to their craft and that is the food. The sushiritto, maybe because I customized it and I prefer to not have any of the spicy mayo and unagi sauce it was kinda a let down, I would have to try it fried next time and maybe with some sauce would leave me a better impression! Overall this was a nice experience

    Such a fun vibe excellent food very good prices and the owners are amazing! It might be my new…read morefavorite place in town.
