Chicken Katsu Plate
Rod G.

Decided to try some chicken katsu at Tanaka. I was greeted when I entered and offered a menu at the counter. I ordered the standard plate and a self serve iced tea. I was given a table number and picked an open table to wait. Food arrived fairly promptly and looked delicious. Restaurant was not very crowded: however there were two very loud individuals sitting behind me discussing the latest movies. Overall it was a good quick service experience.

Ever since I came back from Japan I've been longing for the food I had there. And this place has it! The way they treat their tea, their desserts, their sandwiches... It's spot on! Thank you so much for the wonderful food and coffee and we will definitely be back again!

Katsu Plate

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Worth it

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.

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!

Chicken Katsu
Diana X.

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.

$5 for a not so good donut. The person behind the counter was less than enthusiastic about retrieving my donut. I'll go elsewhere
