Japanese Restaurants in Portland, Oregon

Portland, Oregon has a great selection of restaurants. They have something for everyone. I love Japanese food and Portland has a great selection of inexpensive Japanese restaurants. Here are the very best Japanese restaurants in Portland that are also easy on your budget.

Big Dan's west Coast Bento- This is a great Japanese restaurant that is also very inexpensive. Big Dan's specializes in the yakitori bento, which is a Japanese box lunch. For $4 you have a selection of chicken, beef, lamb or shrimp skewers, served with rice. The also have a great vegetarian vegetable curry also served with rice. I love their humbao, it is a steamed bun filled with BBQ pork. Along with all their yummy dishes they have a selection of traditional drinks such as tropical fruit drinks, and iced coffee. Don't expect to find anything as American as soda here. Big Dan's only serves lunch, and is take out only.

Ikenohana- This is a very charming Japanese restaurant that just happens to be located in a strip mall in Beaverton. They have a large menu with many items such as teriyaki, tempura, sushi, and different noodle dishes. I love their chicken katsu, it is the best I have had. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you are new to sushi or Japanese food they are very willing to help you out. They are also very reasonably priced and two people can have dinner for under $20.
