    We were in the area and happened to spot Zen teriyaki. We thought it looked kinda anonymous which made us curious to try it. So, we decided to give it a try! The outside of the restaurant was covered with mirrors like a reflective decal. When we got inside, the register was right in front, and the dining tables were aligned to the left. The woman manning the register was a petite lady, and she was full of energy and very friendly. We ordered a combo7 (chicken and short rib) and H3 chicken Katsu. How about the food? Well, we like it a lot. Everything was well cooked and flavorful, and it reminded us of a solid old fashion Japanese Teriyaki place. My chicken Katsu was satisfying and crunchy, while my boyfriend's teriyaki chicken and BBQ rib were savory with a hint of sweetness. I also like the portions of the rice and the salad, both were freshly made. Overall, we are very happy with the food and service, and I plan to bring my friends who grew up with this kind of food here. Apparently the classic American Chinese/Japanese restaurants are in decline, as the owners aging and retiring. So it's harder and harder to find good ones around. Now I've found this one, I gotta take my friends to give it a try!

    2/1/2020 - Their egg rolls.
    Mikhail H.

    I have been on the hunt for a decent local teriyaki spot and think I finally found one! I took a chance and am so happy I did. I started with their egg rolls which were delicious and very generous in size so be hungry or share with a friend if you are ordering these! They were pretty perfect though. I went with the chicken combo which came with salad and some gyoza. It was all quite good. The chicken was clearly fresh and had the perfect char to it balanced with just enough of the sauce so you could add more if you like a lot but was not necessary. As crazy as it sounds also, the rice was perfect - I have been to far too many teriyaki spots with over or under cooked rice. So having it cooked so well IS a thing. The restaurant itself is quite well kept too so if you do not want to go the takeout route, you really do not have to. I will definitely be back.

    Order at counter.

    Zen Teriyaki is located in the HomeGoods and Big 5 Sporting Goods shopping center. It is very close to the Beaverton Transit Center. After a long morning browsing HomeGoods, I was craving a nice yakisoba for lunch. So I did a quick check of this place on yelp and found out that they do indeed offer a nice veggie yakisoba. The pictures looked pretty good so in I went. The lady who took my order was pleasant and efficient. I ordered my food to go but if you dine in they include miso soup with your order. The dining room was clean but seemed rather dimly lit. The yakisoba tasted ok. There were lots of noodles but imho not enough veggies. When you order a veggie item without meat, the veggies are very important. Also, I had asked for extra broccoli and it was mostly cabbage. So, this was an ok experience.

    T5. Short Ribs Teriyaki
    Sharon H.

    Our usual place 808 is closed so we decided to give this place a try. Service- As we were finishing placing our order and requested if we could have water to go with the meal ( there is a soda machine with a sign "water"as one of the option), the waitress pointed to the fridge section and asked us to pull out the bottle water instead. Boyfriend then clarified we just wanted a cup for "water" while pointing the soda machine. She paused for a second ( not sure if she was trying to pretend she didn't hear us). And finally gave us the cups we had asked for. Short ribs- poor quality of meat as mostly are bones plus very few thinly sliced burnt pieces provided. (See photo) I had to inquire the waitress if the order was done correctly as this seems way over priced for $16. She came back with one freshly cooked meat piece ( yet still tough and thin) and called it good. Cannot recommend.

    General Tao, Kung Pao, Chicken Teriyaki
    Kyra C.

    We enjoyed our first time here, we got General Tso, Kung Pao, and teriyaki chicken! The plates were huge and the fried rice was really tasty and worth the extra money (to many peas for me but overall really good). Ordered over phone and was ready in 20 min and still super warm once I got home and staff was really nice and welcoming. Super close to our home so we will for sure be back!

    This was chicken terriyaki plate.

    The food is good. The only complaint is they raised their price so many times within very short period of time. Sigh....

    Overall: 4.5/5.0 ________________________________________…read more*Food: 1. Agedashi Tofu & Kirimochi - Light batter on tofu and kirimochi, but enough to soak up the tempura sauce. - Kirimochi and tofu were both soft and chewy with a crispy exterior. - 10/10 2. Lobster Kara Age - Just what you would expect from Kara Age, crispy and juicy. Not too oily, not too much batter. - Yuzu mayo covers the oiliness of the fried lobster. Citrus sauce is not overwhelming. - 10/10 3. Sushi & Sashimi Combo (Sushi) - Excellent quality sashimi grade fish. No fishy aftertaste, rice was not overly sweet or salty and not overcooked. Fish slice size was larger and thicker compared to other restaurants. - 10/10 4. Sushi & Sashimi Combo (Sashimi) - Excellent quality sashimi grade fish. Hamachi was extra fatty and had amazing texture. Akami was not fishy at all, texture was great. - White fish on the side with yuzu sauce was a little fishy. Could improve, but overall an amazing dish with thick cut sashimi. Definitely satisfied expectations. - 8.5/10 5. Otoro Tuna Sashimi - Market price; reasonable price for the thick cut and quality. - Melts in your mouth, no fishy aftertaste. - Ordered after checking the fish quality from the sushi & sashimi combo. I had high expectations and the expectations were met. Great slices of fish. 10/10 ________________________________________ *Service: - Reservation was 6:30pm, but due to traffic, I arrived 15 minutes late. I had called in beforehand, which they kindly let us in despite the delay. Once seated and ordered at 7:00pm, pre-dinner sides, miso soup, and water were provided. Appetizers came out 10 minutes later, sashimi and sushi came out 10 minutes after the appetizers. Despite full seating, food came out fast, and of course with excellent plating and quality. Servers came around frequently to check on any needs. Overall, friendly servers, food quality is great. ________________________________________ * Atmosphere: - Overall very much satisfied. For the price of the items, quality and quantity was assured and tasted great. Restaurant was clean and quiet despite the full seating. Again, friendly servers and excellent food quality as well as fast serving time. Portland never really had great sushi/sashimi, but I definitely recommend coming here at least once, as the items I have ordered tasted great. Many liquor choices(wine, beer, sake, cocktails, etc.) and good choice of desserts as well. Would recommend if you dislike fish due to its fishiness since the sashimi and sushi here have no unpleasant aftertaste.

    We ordered a bunch of sushi or rolls and it was fantastic. Tried a few starters as well. The…read morekaraage was a bit underwhelming, and the yakisoba was average too. Overall, if you're looking for some amazing sushi, Noah Japanese Restaurant is a solid option to consider.
