    A pork Katsu Sando with fries and Curry Aioli for dipping.
    Benjamin M.

    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.

    Love the strong matcha flavor here, and they have so many options the strawberry matcha was rich and refreshing. I did add Splenda to mine to make it more sweet!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Kale Slaw

    Stopped in just to grab some of the chili kale slaw to go and was met with friendly and quick service. Easy snack stop whenever shopping Bridgeport and the kale slaw was fresh and spicy, exactly as expected!

    Pork Katsu sandwich. Thin fatty pork. Bleh.
    Monica A.

    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.

It was quiet, and we were seated quickly. I ordered the rice patty burger. I thought the taste was okay, it was a tad bit under seasoned but the sauce kinda made up for the flavor.

Once we stepped inside, we were immediately struck by how beautiful the decor was. From the cherry blossom tree with seating built around it, to the wood-and-paper accents, to the elegant wall screen and custom dining tables--everything felt thoughtfully designed. Our dining experience truly felt luxurious, like a little slice of Japan right here at home. Service was excellent as well. Our waitress was friendly, patient with our questions, and quick to bring out our sushi and water. Even the water bottle was a gorgeous textured design--such a nice touch. The menu offers giant specialty rolls, nigiri, and smaller rolls, with photos of most items except the small rolls, which made ordering easy. There's plenty of seating inside, but definitely check the hours before you go. They close at 2:30 pm and reopen at 5 pm, and we've been caught arriving too late before.

They also offer bento boxes and daily specials, giving lots of great options no matter what you're in the mood for. A fantastic experience all around--highly recommended!

At sushi restaurants our younger child usually only eats plain rice, and our older one is a picky eater who will eat a little chicken. We initially asked to order the kids teriyaki chicken for our older child but were told the kids menu is only for 7 and under. Since we do have a 5 year old, we ordered the kids meal for her and a side of rice. When the food arrived and we placed the chicken in front of our 10 year old and the rice in front of our 5 year old, there seemed to be some confusion among the staff, which created an awkward and uncomfortable moment for us. In the end our 10 year old only ate a few pieces of chicken and our 5 year old had a little rice, which is exactly why we ordered the smaller portions. It caught us off guard since we did have a child under the age limit at the table and were ordering plenty of food, and families often share plates. A little flexibility or discretion in situations like this might help avoid making families feel uncomfortable. That said, the staff were genuinely very kind and accommodating overall, and very sweet as we were leaving. Overall a beautiful space with very nice staff.

Portion was normal, tons of vegetables and FOUR slices of chashu meat, which I was already amazed. Soup was thick but not salty at all. Aji tama was perfect. The price is reasonable ($12 per bowl, no matter what favors of soup bases). The front line people always made sure to keep the bar table clean. It really reminds me of family own ramen shops in Japan. Thanks for the delicious food. We want to come back again for different spicy levels of ramen, as well as the appetizers.
