Quick, good selection and tasty Japanese lunch selections! The amount and price was pretty good too for a mall food court choice as well. My daughter was only able to eat about half of her chicken and shrimp with vegetables because the portions were very generous!

So, I've been going here for 23 years... I remeber when they used to serve samples of the chicken teriyaki on toothpicks when they first opened..lol This was always my go-to place when i was shopping in the mall, and was even more thrilled when I moved to Portland being minutes away compared to an hour before!!! But...unfortunately the past couple years we've noticed changes...and we can't be the only ones.... first, the larger pieces of the chicken teriyaki was all of a sudden chewy (the non-fat parts) and....it uses to be full of nice big pieces..with little to no fat attached at all... now ....half of the entire order is fat..with only half of our order being edible!! :( im not angry..im more disappointed..sad... Tonight, i noticed another new change..... There was barely any f

I can’t express enough how good the food is and how hardworking the employees are. They are so sweet and work so hard. The food is absolutely delicious, can’t recommend it enough. Me and my family always go to them whenever we are in the area and it’s become such a fond memory for us. The chicken teriyaki is beyond the best and I crave it all the time. You just have to go! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Grabbed a quick bite while Christmas shopping. Great flavor, no frills, decent price. Chicken and shrimp combo were solid.

The mall food court has a lot of restaurants to choose from, but every time I go, I always seem to go to this particular one. My personal favorite is their teriyaki steak with rice or noodles (with vegetables). Sometimes I even go a little more by adding mushrooms. This particular dish has a lot of flavor. On this trip, on a weekend, everyone seems to have the same idea. The line was long! It's a good thing that their associates are not only friendly, but are also fast. Definitely a must try next time you are at the mall.
