Akira sushi - Best beef udon in Portland! - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm not one to leave bad reviews but I used to come to this sushi place often, since the food was good and it's nearby. But this last experience has ruined it for me. One of the workers (thin girl with black hair & bangs) was very rude to my partner and I. As soon as we walk in, I requested a booth and she yelled at us to go sit on the side, because booths are for bigger groups. Sure that's understandable, but apparently that rule didn't apply to anybody else. The whole time I saw new couples sitting there and she didn't have a problem with that. Afterwards she took everyone's order around us and brought them plates, then when we finally ordered she told us to wait until it comes around, why doesn't she say that to everyone? They were out of it on the belt, but when we asked about it they put it way on the other end. After that we continuously get ignored. Anyway just felt like very poor customer service from her end. Everyone else was nice read more

This has become a regular place for us. Food: Salmon Skin Roll (4.5/5) A really good version of this roll. The rice was soft, and the salmon skin was crispy with just a bit of tenderness left inside. Very satisfying texture and flavor. Edamame (3/5) Okay overall, but it was served cold (explicitly stated), which took away from it a bit. I prefer it warm. Inari (3/5) Decent and simple. Sake Nigiri (4/5) Good sized slices of salmon with a nice balance of fish and rice. Seared Salmon (5/5) Excellent. This is the main reason we keep coming back. Savory, tasty, and incredibly tender. Easily the standout dish of the meal. Chicken Katsu Don (3/5) Decent and filling. Comes with chicken katsu, rice, miso soup, and a small side salad with cucumber instead of seaweed salad. Solid but not memorable. Ambiance: This is a sushi train restaurant where you can grab plates from the conveyor belt or place special orders. There are many booths and bar-style seats. It works well for small groups and families. Four people fit comfortably, and six can work but a bit tight. Casual and busy atmosphere. Service (3/5): Generally attentive. Plates were cleared regularly, and staff checked in often enough. Nothing exceptional, but solid and reliable. read more

Somehow I go here all the time but had never checked in or left a review. Oops. Giving it a 5 because we go back again and again, but not necessarily because it's AMAZING. For sushi joint with a conveyor belt, it's a favorite. The prices are great and the quality is consistent. Oddly love some of the veggie rolls (Super Vegan is a fave), but mostly go for the tuna poke bowl with toasted sesame sauce. It's awesome. Service is... well you have to flag them down to get anything from the menu, but they're nice enough. Don't expect them to come to you other than to order drinks. The place is always clean and it scratches the sushi itch every time for a great price. read more

Yakisoba noodles were overcooked and food, not handle in the best care to be sour. .

Good quality, nothing that special. Nice folks but a little hard to get them to order anything special. Clean and neat place for families. We were just hungry travelers. Been here before and probably will return. read more

It's a conveyor belt sushi place. Everything tastes like an old California roll. Just skip it.

Love, whenever I'm craving sushi I always come/order here and I haven't had a bad experience even when I accidentally ordered the wrong sushi the person helping did not have an attitude when I was trying to describe the sushi I did want. The place is also clean and good vibes when I'm there whetherI'm sitting in or getting food to-go read more

Sushi gave me and my partner food poisoning. Think it was the scallop that made us sick, it didn't taste right. Quality wise, it's okay. Big portions of rice and very little fish. Prices are fair. We had dinner for $30 for the two of us. Service is okay. Servers are friendly but didn't check in on us when we needed things like refills on drinks & to order. You have to call them over. Orders placed came out at a reasonable time but it was really slow when we went. Place is clean looking, I like the spacious open layout. You can see into the kitchen a little. Overall, decent spot if you like simple rolls. Would steer away from their scallop dishes. Fish quality is okay for the price. Won't be returning though, as an avid sushi lover, it missed the mark for me. read more

I had an unexpected stay in Portland so I used DoorDash because I was craving sushi. Usually sushi is pretty expensive on DoorDash. I was very surprised to see the menu. They offered half rolls for anywhere from 2 to 5 dollars. I ended up getting 5 halfrolls for $15. I assumed they were going to be small and did not know what to expect. When they arrived it was actual big fresh quality rolls. I could not finish it. I was very impressed. It was delicious. read more

It wasn't the worst sushi. But it is mostly rice and very little fish. It's one step up from the stuff you would get at Fred Meyers. The staff is friendly and I really do love the atmosphere of conveyer belt sushi. But if you want good sushi this is not the place. If you just want to guzzle some cheap eats that mostly tastes like mayonnaise then this will hit the spot. It's got great reviews and I honestly have no idea why ppl are rating it 5 stars. Who are these people? Perhaps it's the sign at the cash register that promises 25% off for a good review ? read more

My Boss at work introduced me to Akira Sushi and it's become our new favorite sushi joint. First of all, "The Rice." Wow. So tender and flavorful. This is a Belt Type Sushi place. Some people don't like belt Sushi. Good. More for us. There were so many choices. We tried a bunch of different Sushi and only 1 thing wasn't as awesome as the rest It wasn't awful. To us it was good but not great. Not a problem because of all the other things available. We ate so much. I can't wait to eat here again. The employees were all super helpful and nice. There is a "Claw Machine" here and that's cool. I saw a dad and his kid try to win prizes. Then when it was slow. The employees all started to come out and talk in Japanese about the claw machine. I wondered what their strategies were. It made me laugh. It's a modest design inside the restaurant. Nothing fancy but clean and organized seats, more than you'd think there would be but not crowded. There are only a couple pictures on the wall. They're of samurai cat's with tattoos. I laughed out loud when I saw them. That's when I knew I had found my new favorite sushi place. That and the cost wasn't very much for how much I ate and drank. I know we'll be back Not as often as I would like but that's OK. I can wait. read more

Good selection, not expensive. Friendly service. No long wait, quiet atmosphere. Came before closing and there was still a good selection

My boyfriend came here once with his coworkers and now it is our favorite local sushi place. We come here almost every weekend and the sushi is always super fresh and delicious and the employees are very welcoming and attentive. I would recommend this place to anyone! :) read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - we arrived around 11:30 when the restaurant just opened so other than the nigiri, other options weren't quite available on the rotating belt yet. We picked up a few nigiri and a chef's special roll. The rice was a bit disappointing as it was a bit dry (day old or not cooked properly?) which affected everthing we ate. The salmon and tuna were decent by themselves though! Ambience: 4/5 - spacious and clean. We didn't care for the staff screaming across the restaurant at each other as it was fairly quiet initially. Service: 5/5 - to the point and quick to address us. Slight communication difficulties but no issues overall. Value for price: 4/5 - okay food but quick service. Not the best sushi but hits the spot read more

The food is always tasty and fresh, the prices can't be beat, and the folks working here are so friendly and nice.

Chill vibe! Good sushi, great prices! The no music in the restaurant is kinda awkward though haha but have used them for take out and dine in and the service is quick! Great place!! read more

This was my second experience with conveyor belt sushi in PDX and Akira sushi did not disappoint! We found seats as soon as we arrived and there were plenty of options rolling past within seconds. Highlights: yellow tail fried salmon jaw salmon sashimi tuna small bowls of teriyaki We even ordered mochi ice cream for dessert! The bill for the two of us, and we ate a lot, was $38 read more

Fresh food, fast service when ordering special orders. The staff are friendly. good value for money.

My sister and I love going to this place, it has great food for a low price! We come here pretty often when we want some sushi and we love the conveyer belt sushi places. If anyone else does too, we recommend this place. read more

Highlights/Lowlights 1) Fun "sushi train" style of dining 2) OK sushi 3) Affordable Going to a sushi train style restaurant has been on my food bucket list for a long time! I visited Akira with friends on a Sunday night. The restaurant was slow and we were seated immediately. As soon as we sat down we were brought waters and could just start grabbing sushi immediately. Each player represents a different priced role and they even have appetizers like calamari, edamame etc. The food was decent. I've definitely had better sushi but I thought the pricing was really fair (some rolls under $4?). Akira was out of a few items but you can find a server and order any rolls from the menu that they don't have. This was fun and I would definitely come again if I was a local! read more

Love the sushi here! Nice people and great selection and it's all tasty and fresh. We're big fans of the Hot Night roll!

Stopped in for some late night sushi and had a great experience. It was 30 minutes before closing time and the Staff was in the middle of cleaning up. Even with that being said the staff still took the time to make us fresh sushi from the menus instead making us eat off the belt. Great experience!! Will come again. read more

Would never ever recommend this place. You should've seen the spring rolls, they should not feel my dish sponge, the soy sauce tasted like hell. Personally I would give a solid 1.367 review. And there was a fly trying to get me. Be better guys. read more

Akira is awesome! Affordable and tasty sushi. Our whole family loves it. The staff is nice as well.

Ambience mag not be elaborate, but the sushi certainly makes up for it! They have a wide array of sushi options including beef rolls which is not common in sushi places. The chopsticks they provide are perfectly shaped for sushi, and napkins, soy sauce, wasabi, ginger, and even spicy mayo are all available at every seat! Seems like a southern Chinese family owned business which adds to the great service and quality of the food, please stop by! read more

It's cheap. Some people seem to be happy with it. Maybe if I lost my taste due to COVID or never had good sushi, I would be happy with it. But I agree with other reviews that everything tastes a little off, but mostly like cardboard. They also have rolls that are almost all rice and/or "krab" but very little fish. It's frustrating, but they're probably doing you a favor. I did find it clean, though, contrary to some other reviewers. So, there's that. read more

Akira sushi - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We heard good things about this place so we decided to try it although it's quite far from where we live in Hillsboro. Upon entering we were seated quickly. They had a spicy mayo at each table which was nice because we usually always have to ask for it. We ordered one tea and got a whole pot. There's a lot of cool signs on the conveyor belt so you can see the different types of sushi they had if you wanted to order and a decent variety on the belt. The problem we saw was a lot of the sushi didn't have great flavor and was mostly rice; all the sushi we had was predominately rice. The spider roll that we got had jalapeños in it which was kind of strange, but the worst part was half of the pieces didn't even have any of the softshell crab or tempura. I ordered a spicy salmon handroll and it came on one of the more expensive plates but half of the handroll was basically completely empty; there was no rice or remnants of any type of fish. I will say the service was very friendly and quick but as much as we'd like to like this place we didn't feel like we got our moneys worth. They were playing BLACKPINK the whole time which was kind of cool. read more

Wait staff was friendly. Sushi quality was ok. Fast food, nothing special. Here are more words to make 85 characters. The review doesn't need that many, but they're required. read more

Plenty of sushi on the belt, I like each dish has sign so I know what they are. Very reasonable price and the taste is not bad at all for the price! I side is light, and very good service. I liked it. read more

Flat-out GREAT. I did a carry-out order via their website ordering partner, because with the COVID FLiRT variants slaying, I'm not eating in indoor public spaces. Order was ready right on time, the woman who delivered it to me at the register was kind and pleasant. The quality of the fish was excellent, and the prices (which many people have mentioned in reviews) really were that good! I plated it when I got home, and what's in the photo cost me $22.87, INCLUDING a 20% tip. Definitely my new go-to for sushi. read more

WORST SUSHI EVER !!! Order California rolls and the California rolls were just imitation crab, no avocado or cucumber. Gave me one mayo sauce, for a $40. Order Complained when I asked for more mayo sauce. Gave me re heated food , the food was stale , the lack of customers service is ridiculous , found hair on my food. The bathrooms was dirty when I was there, so were the cups for soda , not properly cleaned read more

Sushi was good; the service was not the best. They are all on their phones constantly. You do have to literally call them over for anything instead of them checking up on you like at any other restaurant. read more

I came in with my friends didn't want to eat all you can eat and they were very flexible and gave me a option to eat separately. The salmon was very fresh and the customer service was great! The ambiance was clean and a very cool setting. In conclusion I was very happy with my experience and Akira Sushi. read more

If Only I can give a negative. I ordered Baked Salmon Roll and it doesn't look like Salmon. So I asked the waitress. She said , the image I see is download from the Internet on the menu and this is how it look. Even so, it looks more like Tuna than Salmon!!! They have a bug in the Teriyaki Chicken Plate!!! I should have known better when there are signs of red flags. It's a Japanese restaurant playing Korean music with employees speaking Chinese! read more

I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the PDX area. I had the following rolls: Boston Roll, New York Roll, Bake Salmon Roll, Atlantic Roll, and Akira Roll. This world tour was phenomenal, and hit every craving I had. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town! read more

I always like going to Akira, great spot! Highly recommend for a quick sushi run! I like the service, even when it gets busy.

Ordered via DoorDash. Arrived quickly so I was cautious. The eggs roll were cold and a bit soggy. The tempura was cold also. I ordered three rolls and got nothing that I ordered. The rolls tasted like they had been sitting on the conveyor belt for a while and not made to order. Total disappointment. read more
