I was really happy to see a sushi place so close to home, so we gave this a try. I know it is their soft opening and they still have a lot to improve upon.... so here are my suggestions... The temperature in the restaurant was freezing. It wasn't even that hot this evening so to keep the ac blasting in the restaurant made it hard to enjoy the meal. We were shivering and dying to leave by the end. The food took a very long time to come out because it looked like there was only one guy behind the counter. Rolls were pretty overpriced for what they were. I wouldn't say they were anything spectacular or fresh tasting. 40 bucks for 3 rolls (and tip), and we left cold and slightly hungry still.... May have to keep going to crazy sushi in Sherwood :/ read more

Came in and we were greeted by attentive staff. I got the Tokyo box to try a few different dishes. The gyoza and California roll were good, the teriyaki chicken was not my favorite. Someone else for the Chicken Tonkatsu ramen and jt was great, robust and full of grilled chicken. Another member got the Dragon Box and really liked the Tempura shrimp and vegetables. Only drawback was no liquor license so we couldn't enjoy Kirin which is one of the reasons we came, ha! Next week they are getting their license. read more

Sad to see some of the reviews. My daughter and I went here after a softball game and we were pleasantly surprised to find this little treasure in Newberg. We both did the lunch special, which was 2 rolls, miso and cucumber salad. OMG Delish!! They gave you 6 to ate pieces in each roll you chose. They have so many rolls to choose from it is crazy. The cucumber salad is the best I have ever had (I know not much to a cucumber salad, but what ever they do to theirs it really is fantastic). My rolls were so fresh, that when my daughter was done devouring hers, she decided to try and finish off mine (she got 1 and a chopstick to the finger). Every time we have a game in Newberg this is our go to place. If you like sushi you will like this place. read more

We have been there twice so far. Once for lunch and a most recently for dinner with visiting family. We went in at the perfect time before the dinner rush right after the afternoon reopening. We were seated quickly and drink orders and appetizer orders were done quickly. When the drinks came our orders for Ramen, Udon and various rolls were placed. Were were impressed that the Gyoza came out first and when we finished that off the ramen and the rolls all his the table for a good variety to feast on. Very fresh tasting and tightly made rolls. Nothing fell apart and was extremely easy to enjoy. I did not like the plastic chopsticks they use there as the ramen was extremely hard to eat with them, so you had to focus more on your sticks skills and not the other diners. I wish I would have asked for some good old wooden or bamboo chopsticks. read more

I've had sushi from many different places all over the country and this is one of my least favorites. It might be right for some people, but I don't think I'll be going back. Edit because I got very aggressive feedback from the owners: I personally do not care for all you can eat sushi as I usually can't eat enough for it to be worth the price, but yes Momijis in town has it and I do in fact think their flavor is better but I wasn't going to compare them in my original review because I didn't want to detract any attention from this business but since they brought Momijis up I don't mind. I got a spider roll yesterday which on the menu said it had crab, cucumber, and avocado. So I thought I'd give it a shot and I'm not crazy about raw fish. But when I got it all I could taste was the iceberg lettuce they stuffed in as filler. The crab and avocado weren't even noticable over the harsh crunch of bland lettuce. There was absolutely no flavor to it, I think a dab of spicy mayo would have helped tremendously. But as is it was the blandness of it reminded me of the time I did attempt an all you can eat and overdid it and by the end the food just tasted like regret and mush. On the other hand my husband did order 3 rolls and they were much better than mine. But again they weren't our favorite. I wasn't trying to be rude when posting my original review, merely trying to offer the input of people who have been lucky enough to enjoy sushi from places such as San Diego, LA, Hawaii, Boston, New York, and Nova Scotia among many others as my husband is a massive sushi enthusiast. read more

I just happened to come across this place while driving and apparently they've just opened! So I thought why not review this place for both their sushi and their ramen! First time walking in, you'll be welcomed by caring staff, bright colors of wallpaper and decorations, as well as the good quality China and furnitures. I thought I was in for a diamond in the rough of Newberg. I ordered their pork chashu ramen and was welcomed with a very alluring aroma upon being set in front of me. Omg... I can't wait! But upon digging into the bowl, I was surprised at the uoddles of noodles that laid dormant under the soup. Even more disappointing is that the noodles weren't cooked thoroughly. Usually you'd toss the noodles as they are cooking in the hot water. This was not the case as you'd come across some clumps that were stuck together. This bowl took a turn for the worst as I bit into the pork. Unclean was the static thought that went through my mind. Upon closer inspection, the slices of meat was so thin too... Usually upon eating this delicious morsel, your mouth would be washed over with meaty, umami magic. This was unfortunately not the case here, but rather lack of prep work to boil off the scum and add bits of seasonings. The meal got increasing disappointing as the soup didn't retain the rich flavors that normally associate itself with good Japanese ramen. The ramen egg was an absolute give away to this restaurant's lack of attention to details or love for the ingredients. Hard boiled and without marinade. No custard like texture. No sweet, tangy, soft egg whites. No happiness. Literally all you need is a timer and marinade the eggs over a few hours to a day. Come on!!!!!!! I also ordered the Philadelphia Roll to review their sushi dish. Apparently no care was put into the aesthetics by the sushi chef as there were smears of the cream cheese all over the cuts of smoked salmon, leaving the unappealing thought of whether or not the fish was spoiled... Taste was as you'd expect at any other 3 star restaurant Overall I'm very disappointed with this restaurant. Maybe I chose the wrong dishes. Maybe the chef is still being trained. Maybe I came too early of their grand opening. These are all excuses at the end of the day to the dismal result that lay in front of me. I'll try this place again upon other yelper's reviews. But in the meantime, I will not suggest this restaurant if you're wanting amazing Japanese cuisine. But instead, if you're looking to begin you're journey into Japanese cuisine and Portland's too far, this place will be an alright starting place. read more

I called in a take-out order of a chirashi bowl on Valentine's day at 6:50pm. I was told they were busy, so likely 45 minutes. I told them that was fine, I wasn't in a huge rush and figured they may be slammed. I showed up a couple of minutes early at 7:30, and saw the restaurant was pretty empty. There were a total of 4 tables taken, one of them also waiting for a take-out order. I was told 10 more minutes because they were so busy. I figured 3 tables being served wasn't particularly a rush, but 10 more minutes wasn't a big deal.i paid and sat down. 10 minutes came and went. The other guy waiting to pick up his take-out got a little flustered and asked how much longer, and was told 10 minutes. He ended up waiting about another 25. I finally received my food at 8:13pm. It was good, but not something I would be willing to wait that long for again. Waiting almost an hour and a half for slices of raw fish with a scoop of rice was a bit much. I was given a $5 off coupon for my wait. But seeing as I am not often in the area, and don't usually have that long to wait for food, I will likely not be back. read more

Sushi Hunter - Chirashi. Good, but not worth waiting an hour and a half. - Japanese Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

We came in just a few days after opened. They seemed to be under staffed but I do not blame them as they are still new and trying to get things figured out. It took us about 5-10 minutes to be seated. After that everything seemed to go smoothly. The waitress got our drinks and took our order promptly. I got a roll, miso soup and a salad. The soup and roll where great! When the salad came I was actually disappointed. Normally at Japanese restaurants you get a ginger/ vinegar dressing but this was not the case here. My wife ordered a box and loved the katsu chicken! She tried her Miso soup which was new to her and like that as well. Overall the quality was pretty good and the pricing was reasonable. read more

Wow not impressed even further, the person who represents the business has no clue how to communicate with potential customers, we definetly won't be back. His response on Facebook. Thank U to tell me about this problem. I will check the camera to make sure u are the victim. Try black beer. 10mins no taking care people in the busy time and 1hour to cook ur food That is normal my friend. The problem??? The problem is your service and how we were ignored, that is all on you bud black beer as u put it has better service the. I got at your place and for the record it is black bear. Smh seriously? My reply to his Facebook garbage. Naw It is normal custom in America to acknowledge your customers if they want to spend money in the restaurant, it is the fault of the business if they don't let the customer know that they are important to them. You guys failed in this area, you can like it or not I don't care either way what u think, i am just merely saying I am not impressed with your service PERIOD and u keep arguing with me even proves my point, with that being said I have 27 yrs of restaurant management experience, you will never look good argiung with a customer and believe me word of mouth can hurt a business succeeed or fail. Period And I will tell everyone I know how I was treated at your restaurant read more

We love this place! Great customer service always, the super Hunter is our fabulous! It's a must visit when in Newberg.

I was stationed in Tokyo Bay in Japan for a year. Sushi Hunter in Newberg, Oregon is My way of Visiting Japan again. I Absolutely Love the Sushi and Sake here. There are a few Chinese restaurants in Newberg, but not any Japanese ones until Sushi Hunter came. Their menu is broad with many Sushi and Sashimi choices. Great Japanese beer and Sake for very taste. Please come try out some Tempura, Sushi, Miso Ramen, or Teriyaki Chicken. This is an independent restaurant and local to Newberg, so please come support it. Domo Arigato Gaisamasu; which is Japanese for Thank You Very Much. read more

So usually we have a good experience here. However, tonight all of our "fresh" (not fried) rolls were warm! Not cold. I watched the sushi chef makes rolls with the door open to all the refrigerated fish. We've noticed a decline in most aspects of this place. Unfortunately even tho they make our favorite roll we will be taking our business elsewhere. read more

Sushi fresh, rice not so fresh. Ambience upon arriving was nice; quiet with dim lighting. I have one complaint... their evening hours are 4:30-9:30 and at 8:35 they turned up the lights to brighter than bright and brought out brooms etc. even though there were still 3 tables eating! My Sushi had just come out after a 25 minute wait. So i spent $60 on a meal I ate under practically spotlights with a broom and dust pan leaned up against the table right across from mine. If you want to close down and be out the door by 9 CHANGE YOUR HOURS! read more

They have great lunch specials! The food and service were very good:) I would definitely come back. read more

Sushi Hunter - Cute decor! - Japanese Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

I ordered the ramen to which the broth tasted like dirty feet. Like most restaurants would do is change it out with no issues. BUT the boss apparently told our server (the server was amazing) that he can't take it off the check or switch it out for something else? I get it if it was sushi or something that had major costs involved but for a veggie ramen with just broth, veggies, and noodles isn't a large loss. Very disappointed. read more

This place is a gem. Clean and welcoming. The service is excellent and so is the food. I highly recommend it. Cheers Ate here tonite for the third time and YUM! We love this place and the prices for their sushi is very reasonable! Come check it out-you will be very happy you did!!! read more

Hands down my favorite place to cure my sushi cravings!! Sit at the counter and watch the magic happen. Or grab a booth and prepare to be amazed.

Back again after a year, still a great place to eat with a varied menu and quick friendly service. Unlike many small restaurants this place is very clean and the food has authentic flavors. My wife loves their miso soup. We will be back again in the spring! read more

Food is average. Had the beef teriyaki, the meat was tender but it was kinda salty, so was the fried rice. It's also a bit pricey ($16 for rice and beef teriyaki). Service though is friendly. read more

Immaculately CLEAN restaurant. Service is friendly and average wait time. Sushi is beautiful and delicious. Well rolled and fresh tasting. New fav sushi place in the Newberg area.

I was just looking for a quick bite to eat & I was really craving Japanese food. I ordered the chicken udon & it was great but the shrimp tempura scared me. It was a lot of batter & idk if the shrimp was fresh but the shrimp literally melted in my mouth.. never had that happen to me before & I stopped eating the shrimp. Overall the udon is okay but I wouldn't recommend the shrimp. read more

I thought I would wait a few months and try this place again. Unfortunately the quality keeps going down in my opinion. My business associate and I both ordered the $11 two roll special with miso soup and the cucumber salad. Both of our soup bowls had a square chunk of tofu stuck on the side...not a good sign of cleanliness. The rolls unfortunately were not the appealing either. I wish this place the best, I truly do, but I have lost my appetite for this particular place and I won't be back. read more

By far my absolute favorite place to go enjoy lunch. Have been coming here for months and they have some of the best sushi! They remember my order and always take great care of me. Thank you!!! read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a long time. I can be a little critical of sushi after spending a lot of time in Japan. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. It was a Friday night after 7 and they had aot of customers. I ordered tempura soft sheel crab, arrived in a few minutes. I also ordered a 16 piece plate. More than one person needs. I was not done with the crab before the plate arrived. The food was fresh and well prepared and the presentation was very good. I highly recommend Sushi Hunter and will return soon. read more

The owner is something else. Treats customers poorly. Will not be going to the place again. Definitely not worth the money. Save your time and go somewhere else. read more

We ate here last week and the sushi lacked flavor big time. It was so bland. But the bigger issue was the service l. I asked our server if they have soy wrap instead of seaweed and she said yes, so I ordered my Cali roll with soy. When it came, it has seaweed instead. I responded that I had ordered the soy wrap and she wanted to argue with me. I told her that we just had a conversation about it when you took my order, she rolled her eyes and walked away. Mind you, we were the only people in the restaurant. She came back with it shortly after, didn't say a word. When our check came, she charged us for both rolls- the one they messed up on and the one I ordered. I was a little taken aback, and asked why we were charged for both and she said because we ordered both. There was no arguing with her, we paid and left and won't be back. read more

Ugh avoid, Chinese restaurant masquerading as Japanese. Teriyaki was like bad BBQ slathered over rubbery meat. Spicy tuna roll was passable. read more

My husband and I go here maybe once every few months and the owners recognize us each time and give us the best service. The dishes are always delicious and creatively plated. There's always something new they are trying out and sometimes they even give us a free appetizer to try ourselves. Love this place! (Plus they have my favorite Sake so that's a win!) read more

We are excited there is an Izakaya in town. I don't eat fish but my family loves Sushi. I had the Ramen and they each had a bento box. Prices are good, great menu, great service. I am looking forward to Kirin once they have their liquor license (next week). I recommend checking them out!! My daughter's favorite was the California Toll, my boyfriend's favorite was the gyoza. I ordered my Ramen without the fish cake. It was yummy! read more

Easy 5 stars! If you like sushi and are in the Newberg area this is a must go. If you're on a budget, go with the California rolls, but seriously can't go wrong with any of their rolls. I'll be back soon! read more

For the price, wonderful ramen and fresh tasting sushi. A bit inconsistent at times, maybe different chef, and the green salad is not good, but thats not why you eat at places like this so I'm not too concerned. My favorite place to get ramen, I highly recommend the pork broth ramen. read more

Don't waste your time. We have been here several times and it is always something. Not sure why we keep giving them another try. One time they would not honor their Facebook special. Another time they gave us wrong roll and would not replace it for the correct one. Today was the icing on the cake ... they close at 3:00, we walked in at 2:40 and they refused to serve us. Told us "take out" only. 3 strikes and you're out!! read more

This place is by far the best! Freshest fish, and super friendly and fast customer service..... second to nobody!

Very let down. Greeted by a sign telling you to shut up then presented with dolled up grocery store sushi. Not impressed.
