    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 all time favorite is also Tan Tan Ramen and they have it here! Broth is very flavorful, noodles cooked perfectly and I love the variety of toppings on the Ramen.

Thought I wouldn't like the slaw because I usually hate coleslaw but it was unlike any American slaw I've ever had.

This location is also a bit small so not really suitable for big groups. We came on a Friday for lunch and there's only 1 kiosk so it takes a while for big groups to order and I don't think they have a person starting another order if it gets too busy. They were out of a couple of the drinks for the kids menu, which was okay because there were 2 other options. Not once did the staff interact with us or say hello to us. The wait time for the food was ok but the server basically ran and threw the food at our table without ever saying anything to us. I ordered a pork katsu sandwich and the pork was VERY dry. I also ordered it normal but when she threw it on the table, she mumbled something "it's not spicy" and but there was clearly some red powder on it and looked like my friend's sandwich that she ordered spicy. We went up to ask the girl and she said they accidentally put the powder on but it's not spicy and that was it. She didn't apologize or offer to exchange it. I think it's unacceptable behavior and I was in disbelief. They were also out of ketchup and we had a whole table of French fries with the kids meals... I have been to the other location a few times and the food and service was good as far as I can remember, but this location is horrible. I will never come back again and will tell all my friends and family about my experience. 2/9- I emailed the business owner like he requested but never got a reply. Don't need to tell me to reach out if you don't care to email back. Thanks.
