I was shopping in Bridgeport today and walked past this place and the matcha poster on the wall got my attention immediately! When I got inside I ordered the Strawberry Matcha, Chicken Katsu Sando, and a curry bun. I've been to Oyatsupan in Beaverton, so I assumed the curry bun would be similar to their Curry Donut, but I realized it was not very soft at all, and the curry inside wasn't very good. My sandwich was pretty good, but the slaw on it mixed with the spicy sauce definitely carried the sandwich. The matcha was okay. I was definitely disappointed and probably won't order one again. I would rate the food and matcha a 4/10, the staff service a 10/10, and the ambiance a 10/10. Might return someday and try a donut! read more

Tanaka - Japanese Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

the staff at this location are super nice! especially the guy who was in the kitchen but came out with our food! he was attentive and kind :) the food itself was good. the curry was delicious but not much different from what I could make with box curry from the supermarket. I enjoyed the pork katsu which was not too fatty and still juicy. the breading was crunchy, light, and not too oily. the only thing is that the rice was overcooked and too wet. the fries with the curry aoli were heavenly. i'm not usually a sauce type of gal but I would come back just for this sauce. it had a nice kick and was a little acidic making it easy to eat and not too heavy. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite with my husband. We ordered the Pork Katsu Plate and the Spicy Chicken Sandwich with a side of fries. Food took a minute but it was super fresh and cooked well. The Katsu Plate has a little of everything. The egg on the rice was a tad overcooked so we didn't get that runny yolk I was hoping for. The pork katsu was well flavored and yummy. I could leave the weird slaw though. Fries and the sauce that come with it were excellent. The star really is the sandwich. All of the components go well together. Also really love that they have the Stubborn soda. We caught a girl on her first day. She did great with answering my questions. Music was nice. Place was clean. read more

Tanaka - Katsu Plate - Japanese Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Stopped by after a walk nearby. The atmosphere was modern, with lots of wood. Service was very friendly. I went with the pork katsu sandwich with fries and a drink. The sandwich was good, but I think next time I'll try the spicy sauce option. That seems like it might turn up the flavor a notch. The fries were crispy and delicious, and the curry aioli was great as a dip. I can't remember what drink I selected, but I remember it was good, if a bit overloaded with ice. This place is good, and I'm curious to try their other offerings next time I'm in the area. read more

My first time trying this place and it was fine. The chicken curry was a large serving and the pickled cabbage and pepper were a nice complement to the heavy curry gravy and fried chicken. The tofu katsu sandwich was heavily sauced to the point where all you could taste were the sauces. The kale slaw was awesome -- very flavorful with a nice spice at the finish. I was alarmed to see that the plastic bag of curry sauce was just sitting in a hot pot of water; definitely a situation where the bag plastic would break down into the sauce. Seems like a poor food prep situation. read more

Recently visited Tanaka's location in Bridgeport Village. It is a new modern store, really beautifully decorated and well laid out with plenty of seating. Staff took a second to greet me, but were polite when taking my order at the counter. Food came out quickly and it was well packaged for a to-go order. I have not tried their curry, nor their sweets. I got a chicken and egg sandwich, as well as a tofu sandwich, and a side of fries. I think the sandwich could've used a hot sauce or some additional flavor to give it a wow factor. But everything was good overall. read more

Strawberry matcha latte was okay! Needed a bit more sweetness. However the drink was 8.00 and the oat milk was 1.50. That's a lot for oat milk read more

Tanaka - Japanese Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Visiting Oregon for the weekend and happened to come to Bridgeport Village to visit some friends here. Came by for a late lunch and was pleased to find Tanaka. I like chicken katsu sandwiches and I also like egg salad, so I ordered their sandwich which had both which you can option out with a spicy sauce for a nice kick. The value is pretty great here because you can get the sandwich for around $15, but for $7 more, you can get a side like egg salad or fries as well as a drink like a matcha latte. No sales tax because it's Oregon, but also another 15% off if you're a veteran or a student. It was quiet and relaxing inside when I ate in the afternoon but was pretty packed when I walked by earlier around noon. Service here is very friendly and super fast too, from ordering to table side service. Shout out to Jessica and Ricardo for being really kind and for the dine-in experience. If you're ever coming to this mall, this place is a pretty solid option from a light to filling lunch. Great for a lunch date with friends, family, or even just by yourself. read more

Tanaka - Japanese Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Tired from shopping?? Stop by Tanaka for Japanese-inspired sandwiches! Located at Bridgeport, this location is great with plenty of seating. They are known for their katsu sandwiches - chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, and tofu options - there is lots of variety. Service is counter service, but they are efficient and fast. I got the chicken sando and it was great! The milk bread was soft and held up well - not soggy. The chicken was thin, lightly breaded, and not too oily. They also sell various Japanese pastries, but they didn't look too appealing. I'd stick with their sandwiches. I don't think they are better than the competitor in town - Tokyo Sando, but Tanaka is a great option for a quick bite in the area! read more

Tanaka - chicken katsu - Japanese Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

I have very mixed feelings. On the one hand, the location, the seating, especially when the weather is nice gives a wonderful outdoor ambience, especially if there's live music playing across the way. As for the food, the highlight was the egg salad for me. While I thought the sandwiches were unique and the curry rice plate was tasty. I'm just not a fan of the overall execution. 1. Curry was way too strong. I get one has to enjoy the curry with the rice or protein, but when you have to consciously pursue the mixture and can't enjoy the curry on its own, then something is off. 2. Why some people complain the curry is lukewarm or even cold is because they serve on a metal plate that is extremely cold to start with. I don't claim to know the reason, I just can feel the edges are very cold. As a result the curry cools down far too quickly, same for the katsu when initial contact is made with the plate. If you're going for make-to-order for goodness sake, have it piping hot... it should be part of the charm and experience. This is simple management not looking at every detail... the workers do what they are told. Totally brought the experience down several notches. 3. The ebi fry was not available. Prime Lunchtime on a bright sunny Sunday and you don't have a menu item? Hey it happens, but it shouldn't happen if a place is striving for excellence... so there you go... Enjoyed it, just definitely not a place I'd trek all the way to Bridgeport from Beaverton to visit often with this lack of execution. I've had my fair share of katsu and this style of sandwiches across the globe. This just isn't memorable. read more

Ordered a pork platter. got chicken. unevenly cooked. Katzu sauce: about a thimble full, which soaked into the breading. Egg: fried to a completely solid yolk. No sauce for rice. Cole slaw was fine, as was the tablespoon or so of pickled cabbage. After two bites, threw it away. For me, a waste of $25. read more

The curry aioli with fries is SO addicting. I could eat... way too many of those. The yuzu cream donut was also delicious and had great texture. The chicken katsu sando was decent but definitely not the best I've had. The meat was a little dry and was pretty thin/sparse in the sandwich. read more

My wife and I are headed to Japan later this year; it'll be her first time, and I cannot wait to show all the wonderful sights, sounds and, of course, tastes! As a "preview of coming attractions", we stopped in for lunch at Tanaka while in the area; similarly, she had never had a katsu sando before, wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but was eager to find out. As she surprised me a bit and went with the chicken sando (which I WAS going to order) with a side of hot sauce, I switched to the potato korokke instead. Each of them was utterly incredible: in the case of the chicken, a delicious crispy fried chicken fillet with kewpie mayo and katsu sauce (which, for those who do not know, tastes like a BBQ soy sauce) and cabbage is pretty much to die for; as for the korokke, it's definitely softer (the potato/veggie "innards" of the croquette are creamy and smooth) punches above its weight with a tangy dressing drizzled over the cabbage. We couldn't decide upon our favorite among the two, and repeatedly shared bites of each. I would order either of them again (or both) in a heartbeat! Service was prompt, friendly, and extremely polite! The décor within is minimalist in true Japanese style, and benefits from natural light and gorgeous surroundings: at least during our visit, it was quiet, serene, peaceful...and when paired with the perfect weather, was like a silent oasis sequestered away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the shopping arcade. Even more than she was before, Tanaka has made my wife more excited for our trip to Japan, thanks to its authenticity (and deliciousness)! If you can't make it yourself to Japan, Tanaka will get you half way there, flavor-wise. read more

It's been awhile since I've been to Bridgeport Village and I was surprised to discover this place there. It's a cool concept with good execution. I like the flow of ordering at the counter, selecting your seat and having your food brought to you. I ordered the spicy chicken katsu combo with fries and a drink and then found a seat outside which was great for people watching. The sandwich was good (a hearty portion), fresh and flavorful but had a little too much sauce for my liking. The fries were perfectly cooked and again, I didn't care for the sauce that accompanied them. But service was good and I'd return to try something else from the menu. read more

Tanaka - Kale Slaw - Japanese Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Pork katsu sandwich. Thinnest tonkatsu that I have ever had and definitely a fraction of the pork compared to other reviews. The lean part was good but there was some fatty parts which was not edible. The bread was dry and way too thick compared the thin meat. See pic. The slaw was good, but shouldn't be the star of the show since this is supposed to be a pork katsu sandwich. The fries were good and salty. My meal with a drink was $18 and even to go- I left 15% gratuity. This meal was not worth the money and disappointing. Food came out quickly and they were polite. Nothing else stood out except for the sad sandwich. read more

Tanaka - Pork Katsu sandwich. Thin fatty pork. Bleh. - Japanese Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Known for their sandwiches, Tanaka serves up some great fried chicken and pork katsu sandwiches. This is quick service/fast casual style where you order and pay at the counter and then they'll bring the food out to you. Service is friendly and they are eager to take your order. The decor is cool modern looking, with lots of greenery. It also has a nice patio area so you can eat and watch shoppers go by. As mentioned, their sandwiches are great. The egg salad is a wonderful compliment to it. I would pass on the curry tho. While the flavors are nice, the couple times I tried the curry it was served lukewarm and even cold once! read more

Tanaka does a great job recreating the same experience and flavor at each location. It's good, reliable, tasty comfort food that won't break the bank. These days, that combo is hard to find! One other cool factor about the Bridgeport Location is the ambience - they have a bit more space and they've capitalized well on layout! read more

I had to write a review after the really wonderful service we had today. We ordered a kids meal to share between our kids, and without prompting they split it nicely into two dishes. The gave us an extra drink for the kids too, and made an extra grilled cheese for cheap even though it's not on the menu a la carte. Anyway, we really love this place. If you're not a fan of the sandwiches, I also really recommend the curry dishes! read more

I've been wanting to try here for a long time and finally on the area this week to get their Japanese sandos for lunch. First of all, Bridgeport Village is popping! This location is right next to the kids play structures and it has outdoor seating so definitely a bonus if you want to enjoy yummy food while watching the kids play. You can only walk here as it's inside in the middle of the shopping complex but parking is available in the garage or around the back. First of all, this place is beautiful! Everything is clean, bright, and very organized. It gives off a calming and happy vibe, especially on a sunny day. Staff were very friendly and happy to explain menu items and very helpful with my to-go order while I juggle my toddler waiting for it. They also had fun flavored donuts for sale as well including yuzu and red bean. I've seen the picture and read the reviews so I did have high expectations. However, I hope it is because it was a take-out order and maybe because I didn't eat it right away but the bread was over toasted and the Katsu patties, both chicken and pork were a little dry as well. I did enjoy the egg salad inside the sand which and the Katsu sauce though. The fries were crispy and came with their special golden curry sauce that had a good curry flavor but just a tad bit salty. I really do want to give this another try and maybe it will be a better experience dining in. Come try and decide for yourself! read more

Lovedddd this place! We ordered the spiky pork and spicy chicken katsu sandwiches. Both were tasty and not really spicy. I would probably just order the regular next time because the spice flavor was a bit more like wasabi than anything else. The fries with the curry dip was the star of the show to me. Their fries are perfectly breaded/crispy and the curry dip is amazing! It goes well with the sandwiches as well. Pricing is a little high at $15 per sandwich. I really wanted to try the Tanaka dip specialty but they ran out of it unfortunately. Service was quick and ambiance is casual! Plenty of seating indoors read more

I was looking at the reviews and I was kind of amazed by the consistency in the reviews. I got the katsu sandwich special. The pork is really juicy and tender. Nice texture from the breading and cabbage. Love the katsu sauce which I feel is an underutilized condiment in general. It's a really satisfying bite. My only complaint is the pork is not very uniform. I don't know if they pound it out or I just had bad luck but my meat didn't really cover the bread very efficiently. So my last couple bites had nothing. The fries and curry mayo are good. But they are really salty. Not a single person task. They were closing so I ended up with a croquet and a cookie. Throw that croquet in the air fryer and you gotta yummy breakfast. The space is really nice and the service is friendly. Value is a little skibidi, as the kids say, but like I will say in all my reviews. It's 2024. read more

Tanaka - Pork Katsu - Japanese Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Even though I speak Japanese fluently, it still feels super cringe to me to ask another non-Japanese person if I can have a "katsu sando." Do I use American pronunciation? Do I say it how I would order it in Japan? Who knows? But at least the sandwich is super good. It's a big sandwich, I'd argue even shareable. The pork katsu was cooked well, and the sauce and mayo were tasty. As a meal, you also get a ton of fries, and the Japanese curry mayo dipping sauce is an interesting but welcome condiment. Did think it was weird that the fountain drink was sponsored by Stubborn Soda yet none of the drinks on tap were the brand. Clean atmosphere, nice staff. read more

Also get their curry sauce/aioli on everything. JUST WANT A DONUT? TAANAAKAA. Have not been disappointed by anything in the menu, it will be my 2025 goal to try everything on their menu as soon as I stop ordering dirty fries which is really hard not to. read more

This place was great when it opened, but things are less polished than they used to be. They're almost always out of something when I come in (on more than one occasion it's been bread, which is a big problem for a sandwich shop). The menu also changes frequently. The sandwiches and fries are always there, but the other dishes are often a surprise. The food is good, but from a reliability standpoint I just never know what to expect. read more

Very good sandwiches! The chicken is both well cooked and juicy. The breading is perfect and the slaw is delicious. The fries are 10/10 and we really enjoyed their 3 different sauces: curry, honey mustard, and ranch. I will definitely be back! read more

Tanaka - Takana combo chicken katsu - Japanese Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

I've been a frequent Tanaka Sando customer since they opened downtown. Then we started going to the Bridgeport location as well after they opened. Great having 2 locations as we live in the middle of both. Through their rewards program I unlocked a free katsu sandwich. Great! In April '25 I attempted to redeem the free sando. Seems they were having some problem that day, so we said don't worry about it we'll try next time. No biggie because we come often enough. June '25 was our 2nd attempt. They still cannot redeem our free sando, and don't really explain anything. Also they boxed up everything to go even though we were staying for lunch. Ok, final try was the evening of Aug. 30th around 7:30 PM. I'm going to bring in my inner Karen if need be. ;) The guy says 'nope, can't redeem for a free sando' even though I show him 3 different text messages proclaiming to redeem my katsu sando (they keep piling up). Doesn't faze him. I ask if there's a manager around, and hes says he is the manager and that he has "turned off the reward system"? The "manager" could not have shown that he cared less about us. Total crap attitude. No apology or any attempt to keep us as customers. I mean... is it really that hard? We are done with this place. I hope the real management or franchise owners read this. read more

Disappointed by the lack of vegan options at Tanaka. Although I ordered the spicy tofu katsu in a lettuce wrap, it didn't provide the same experience as Tokyo Sando in downtown Portland. I was disappointed that the spicy tofu katsu sandwich wasn't actually spicy but more tangy like barbecue sauce. And, the fries were saltier than expected. The patio is nice and friendly for dogs especially on a warm day! Make sure to bus yourself. read more

Surprised to find Tanaka here in Bridgeport Village. We ordered the pork sandwich, chicken sandwich and chicken curry. The sandwich is great. The curry is so so, it was presented in a plastic container:( although the katsu chicken tender is crispy and delicious. The service was great. The waitress brought us the food to our table. The ambiance was good. Inside with air conditioning and outdoor tables are near the playground, which you can watch your kids playing. read more

It was my first time going to the Bridgeport location. I love the plant decor they have and really makes up for the ambiance. You order as soon as you come in and seat yourself. Cold days can be tricky since everyone wants to stay indoors - you might find yourself having to wait on the side for a table to open up when people leave. I did notice they had outdoor seating, which will be perfect for warm days. We ordered the fries (which was paired with curry-like sauce) and both the pork and chicken katsu sandwiches. Both of the meats were so tender and easy to bite into. read more

Came back here again to try a different sandwich! Since it has been open for a while now the line isn't as long so you can place your order pretty quickly. The person who took my order was super nice and answered my questions about the sandwiches. There are plenty of places to sit in the inside and I'm excited for the weather to get warmer so I can sit on the patio. This time I got the egg salad sando. I honestly liked this one more than the katsu because it had a lot more filling and the egg salad had a hint of yuzu the pairs nicely! The egg is nicely cooked and there are bigger chunks of egg white for texture. I also liked that there was a lot of lettuce, it was refreshing. This place is nice and super tasty for a quick lunch while shopping! read more

Tanaka - Toasted Egg Salad Sando - Japanese Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

Several friends and I met up at Tanaka before watching a film at Regal Cinemas a few blocks away. Thankfully the dining room was fairly empty, so I was able to walk right up to the counter to order. I chose the spicy pork katsu sandwich as it seemed to be the most positively reviewed item on the menu. I opted for a meal, which includes a cane sugar soda and a side of fries. The meal took about ten minutes to prepare, and was quickly delivered to my table by a friendly server who was humming and dancing the entire time I was in the restaurant. It's always fun to be surrounded by happy people. The fries were piping hot, and came with a basket of complimentary sauces to sample. They are usually 0.50 a piece, but the server must have included them for free since I'd indicated it was my first time. I'd initially been a little put off by the $20 price tag for the sandwich combo, but there really is A LOT of food. It's a completely shareable meal. I really enjoyed my sandwich. The pork cutlet was perfectly crispy on the outside, revealing a juicy and tender interior. The spicy seasoning added a delightful kick without overpowering the natural flavors of the pork. The sandwich also included a zesty cabbage slaw which complemented the dish perfectly, resulting in a balanced blend of textures and tastes. I think I'm a fan! Overall, I was happy with my experience. The food arrived quickly, it was presented well and tasted delicious. As a meal for one it's a little overpriced, but I'd happily share it with a friend anytime. read more

Tanaka is a place to try for those who are curious. You order at the counter, and they give you a number. If you ordered a fountain drink you get to get it yourself. Water is also available. The place wasn't busy when I was there. You would think the food would get to you a little bit quicker because of this. Waited 25 minutes to get my order. The chicken was good, all different sizes. The fries with a side of the curry aioli definitely worth trying. The bread pudding was very dry. Service was okay. Not overtly welcoming. read more

This review is for the Bridgeport location. We ordered the plain curry rice and it was terrible. I saw the cook just microwave the curry and the rice was hard, not fresh at all. The staff brought the wrong order and after we waited for half an hour for the food to arrive, she was very rude. I used to come here and enjoy it but this will be our last time. To the manager, you really need to train your staff better in customer service. Also, as a Japanese restaurant, the rice needs to improved! Keep it fresh. Not a microwave version, please! read more

What came first, the Katsu chicken or the egg salad? This brand new eatery located in the Village Green section of Bridgeport Village takes two great tastes and puts them together in one sandwich. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical and am not a full convert to this flavor combination, but I still fully enjoyed the dining experience. This is Tanaka's second location in the Portland area and it is a beauty of a space in the center of this upscale shopping hub. The covered outdoor patio looks out over a few play areas and has music piped in which is all lovely. When I had young children, it would have been ideal to 'supervise' them on the various play structures while grabbing a breakfast sandwich on the patio. They are newly opened, so I was one of the first customers to score a free cream filled donut. I preferred the chocolate filled option which had a nice balance of creamy filling and fluffy pastry. I was expecting more of a full menu, but there is just a small selection of breakfast (Brunch Sando) and regular (Classic or Spicy Katsu Sando) sandwiches on their signature Milk Bread with a few other options like Katsu Nuggets, fries, and slaw. The bakery items look promising, but weren't fully available during their grand opening. The food has a beautiful presentation and nice portion size with elevated prices which makes sense given the location. The drink menu features coffee from local roaster, Good Coffee, and includes several matcha options and Japanese tea. Overall a pleasant and unique experience in the area, but I will probably stick to the non-egg salad options in the future. read more

Japanese sandos have been super popular here in Portland and Tanaka is the place to try it! They have a variety of options to choose from starting with their classic chicken or pork sandwiches. They also have asian inspired pastry options too which was so refreshing to see! I loved the Spicy Tonkatsu sando, the Miso Caesar salad, and Miso Chocolate chip cookie! The Yuzu filled doughnut was also scrumptious! read more

I've been here twice now since they opened and am a fan since I no longer have to venture to Portland for their sandos. The sandwiches are really filling and are great for sharing since they cut it in half. My only gripe is the katsu is a really thick cut of pork. It's cooked really well and remains juicy all the way through but the pork to bread ratio is a little off for my liking. I also tried the yuzu donut which was SO good. The yuzu cream is light which makes the donut not too sweet or heavy. I like how spacious the place is too. Lots of seating inside and outside that looks over the center area of Bridgeport mall. I'm glad more pdx businesses are expanding out to the suburbs because parking can be such a pain in the butt downtown. Hoping more businesses will follow suite. read more
