    Pork Katsu
    Alyssa L.

    We waited a while after our online order time but it looked busy and understaffed so it was understandable. But wow the sandwich was worth it. Thought I wouldn't like the slaw because I usually hate coleslaw but it was unlike any American slaw I've ever had. So delicious and unique tasting, and paired with the crunchy katsu was just delicious. The fries could use some more crunch but the sandwich makes up for it.

    Pulled pork Curry Rice

    I really enjoy the downtown location and was pretty pumped to see there was one in SE area much closer to me! I ordered the meal, it came with a drink, egg salad, and a sandwich of my choice. I chose the shrimp sandwich. I thought the egg salad was overly sour but bland- it needed more sugar. The texture of the egg salad was more runny than a fluffy egg salad. The shrimp sando was pretty decent. There was a good amount of sauce and cabbage but the shrimp itself didn't have that bouncy texture you'd expect with fried shrimp. My partner got the curry rice pulled pork and it was really underwhelming. It tasted less flavorful than a curry packet cube we'd make at home. The staff was nice and greeted us as we came in. But the food was lacking so I'd stick to the one downtown.

    Matcha Iced Watermelon

    It takes a lot for me to be blown away by matcha. This place by far has one of the best matcha I have tried. The watermelon matcha pleasantly surprised me in an unexpected way. The blend of the sweetness of the watermelon and the earthy flavor profile of the matcha elevated each other to create this beautiful, tasteful drink. Considering that I'm a frequent matcha drinker, this one takes the cake. Give it a taste yourself and be prepared to be blown away!

    The sandwiches are very good! I'm not a huge mayo fan and it was tolerable for me. I was definitely still hungry after the sandwich so I recommend getting something else. The curry was not my favorite. Wouldn't get again tbh. The shrimp were good. Service was great. Lots of places to sit too. Clean inside.

    I love this katsu spot, their sandwich and fries with the curry aioli is amazing and delicious! The employees are very nice and friendly so i'm definitely coming back again.

    Love the vibe of the restaurant and the location is really nice! Staff was friendly and nice. The tofu katsu was super delicious, I would definitely come again just for that!

    Delicious food and friendly service. It's like a tiny Osaka in Gresham! Very authentic and fresh. The decor is bland but you ain't going for the ambiance!

    Ordering the chicken katsu sandwich
    Melanie T.

    This is a new business that recently opened in Gresham. I've driven by a few times but finally had a moment to catch some lunch. All of the menu items were explained by the friendly cashier and I chose the toasted katsu chicken sandwich. I didn't know that the egg salad actually came on it but was SO pleasantly surprised. They taste great together. He had told to me how the chicken was made with a delicate Teriyaki sauce. It was fabulous! Fast Service, and too! When I saw how large each half was I knew I was going to need to-go container. So I asked for a piece of foil. My husband was really going to enjoy this. There lots of seating and sunshine coming through the windows. I'll be back soon. Make sure to look for the parking behind the leasing building of the apartments. It is the "pink zone" parking for customer shopping. Then you'll just have a very short walk to the front door of Tanaka

    Had Tanaka at its other locations, and this one meets the standards! Glad to see them expanding as these sandwiches are delicious. I will be back to try different kinds. They also have sweet fruit sandos that are great as well.

    Spicy chicken sando with fries
    JI K.

    What a find! Passing through the area and found this gem! What we ordered: -Tonkatsu sando with fries and fountain drink combo -spicy chicken sando with fries and drink combo -10 pc chicken nuggets -peach & pineapple lemonade First of all, it was Fair price for all of the food which is a plus. Tonkatsu sando was good but spicy chicken sando was excellent! Their coleslaw inside made it heavenly. Soft White bread with crispy breaded fried chicken cooked to perfection! Drooling thinking about it! Chicken nuggets were ok. Too crispy which made it hard to eat but flavor was still there. And finally, Peach & pineapple lemonade was to die for! They have seating inside and outside which is nice. Nice lady at the front took our order made the experience awesome too. Overall, i would definitely will be returning here again.

    I have seen my friend post about Tanaka in NW and always wanted to try it, so I was thrilled to see that there's a location in Gresham now! He and I went a couple of weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it. The one downside is that the indoor dining area is very small. However, there is a large outdoor dining area, which is where we ate since it was a beautiful day. It was lovely! I tried the spicy chicken katsu sandwich, and it was delicious! Definitely was hot for me (I have low tolerance sadly haha) but I enjoyed it! Got to try my friend's fries & curry sauce, which were tasty and helped cut the heat of my sandwich. If it's a nice day, I recommend coming and dining outside, and if it's an average weather day, maybe consider to-go since the dining area is small.

    soooo good!! Starting on the left pic, we got a chicken katsu with spicy sauce and oh man!!! so good!! Then the chicken and egg salad sandwich which pairs so perfectly.

    Both the Spicy Katsu and Dirty fries were delicious. The spices on the sandwich were really good and were the perfect amount of spiciness. The dirty fries had some roasted cilantro and small peppers with some sort of gravy that gave it a unique flavor. The service was great and super friendly along with the ambiance. Definitely will be coming back to try different sandwiches.

    Le Petit Café was a great find on our chasin' waterfalls adventure. They are an anchor business…read moreinside the Troutdale Station Food Cart building. It's a nice open space with plenty of picnic table seating and a few chairs and a sofa on one side. The staff was friendly, and there were plenty of food and drink options. You order at the counter and get a pager that beeps when your order is ready for pickup back at the counter. I ordered their featured drink, which was an iced tiramisu latte. It was yummy, as was my ham, egg, and cheese breakfast croissant sandwich. The elevated plating for the croissant sandwich was a nice touch. Instead of blobbing mustard on the plate or offering packets, they gave my plate a pretty swoosh of mustard with a sprinkling of chopped chives. I didn't expect this, but I appreciate that they went the extra step, as we eat first with our eyes! This is definitely a great stop coming to or from The Gorge and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

Aside from being a doofus and not noticing the 15 feet of menu on the wall opposite the counter, the place was warm and friendly and had the smell of a place I'd like to eat, (a little warm bread, a touch of cinnamon, and a hint of bacon.) I ordered the Hope's Mess with eggs over easy, a biscuit, and sausage patty and the youngster ordered the Huevos Rancheros. I was told that Hope was now living my wife's ideal life while her partner lived mine. Hope rolled in later and the partner was there first thing so she was not there. We got drinks as well and waited a perfectly reasonable time for our food. Rich, creamy country gravy, perfectly cooked eggs, good coffee. My companion enjoyed his food also, but since it's not my spouse, I didn't feel comfortable stealing a bite to report directly. Always a pleasure to stop in, bring a sticky bun home, and visit with nice people in the community.
