This is more of a to go restaurant, even though they have tables. The ambience is out of date and with a leaky roof it's not very appealing. The food was good cooked to order with great seasoning. The owner was a little off putting he's a lil gruff but hey he's been at this a while by the looks of the place. Nice lunch, wouldn't come back based on the ambiance read more

Very old school homestyle East Asian restaurant. The prices are affordable, the owners are nice. It's a bit run down so not great for a cafe night but it's tasty and filling!! read more

Bong Teriyaki - Counter - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Someone wrote it wasowned by a Japanese couple but actually they are Korean. I had a little issue communicating with the man who takes the orders. They had shrimp tempura and vegetable tempura. I asked him if the shrimp tempura came with vegetables and he said look at the picture pointing to the window. The window picture clearly shows shrimp and vegetables so I ordered it. We'll when I got the order it was only shrimp (6 pieces). I ate it though and it was good. The also had two sauces so I thought the smaller one was for the salad, wrong. There was dressing on the salad. I guess it was extra dipping sauce. read more

Needed a teriyaki spot close to the UP campus at daughter's request. Came across this place and it was really good! Kind husband & wife owners who clearly put time into their business. Food tasted great! Would recommend supporting this small business! Best to take out for enjoyment at home. read more

Oh my God. I threw away my order it was so bad. Horrible Ambiance, unfriendly service and the food was the worst. This is not mean, it's true. Don't take my word for it. Go try it. He smelled his old home made spicy sauce cause it looked like something was growing in it. read more

Had no idea this place was just right around the corner and with great reviews!!! Such a sweet Japanese duo running the place and making really good Yakisoba. My husband and I ordered 2 lunch specials and they were exactly what we needed. There's only 2 of them at the shop so please be patient! Call in your order if needed. For convenience and cravings, I wouldn't for sure return for more! read more

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our sushi dinner together while I was visiting during parents' weekend at UCLA. The staff are very welcoming, the sushi was plentiful, and one of the chefs took notice of us watching how he prepares the fresh orange wedges: with an extra order on the house. You can sit right next to the chefs while you eat inside, and there are tables outside as well. Genuine and lively, Bong Teriyaki is a great find south of campus. We look forward to returning in the future. read more

Owner can't help roof has leaked for over a decade, hence the damp smell of the place. Owner CAN help the bland, homogenized, not fresh cafeteria food masquerading as Japanese. I've eaten Oscar Meyer hot dogs more Japanese than this slop. Yakisoba with chicken has been served here more resembling shoe leather and a dough ball. Not great by a long shot. read more

Wow, this food was bad, location is weird, portions are small. Egg rolls & gyoza are frozen, not fresh. Spicy chicken is a container of hot sauce on the side. Having a hard time understanding why this was the #1 chicken teriyaki listed in our area. read more

So delicious! The best teriyaki chicken plates you'll ever have! Every bit is beyond tasty and will leave you wanting more. Super fast too! It's my go-to neighborhood place. read more

The people were Friendly and the food was amazing. Such a good find! Not sure why all the bad reviews I love it. Will come back!

This isn't my first pick for Asian food, but Bong Teriyaki does an alright job. It's located extremely close to me, which is why I found myself trying it out a little bit ago. The prices are pretty fair, though I wish everything cost a dollar or two less. From my experience, this place is a little slow with takeout orders. I ordered 2 two choice combos plates (chicken teriyaki and chicken katsu & chicken teriyaki and beef teriyaki) when I was the only customer in the place and waited for probably 20-25 minutes. The chicken was pretty mediocre. It was chewy and tasted a little overcooked. I'd give it a 2 out of 5. My boyfriend's chicken katsu was also overcooked and dried out. So why the 3 out of 5 stars? The beef teriyaki I had redeemed this place. It reminded me of authentic Korean BBQ beef. It was tender and nicely soaked up their teriyaki sauce. My recommendation? Skip the chicken, order the beef! read more

The customer service is great, the food is perfect and the location is better. I like to have an early dinner before I leave for classes at pcc, this spot is fantastic cause they prepare my food quickly, I can call in the order, grab it and hop on the bus right outside and have my classmates jealous of my food. I recommend the sweet and sour chicken but, that's just my favorite. I got to try the skewered chicken today, they were grilling it out front. I'm sort of a nervous person when it comes to Food borne illness, and I've never gotten sick from their food unlike some other places *cough* panda... I've brought friends here, we got to eat outside, that was nice. And like I said, we can walk here. I live in the nopo area and love the various places in the neighborhood. This has become one of my top 5, partly cause of the distance but also, the menus is pretty great. There's quiet music, usually hip hop. I'm more of a metal fan but hey, by the time the food coma sets in, it could be white noise for all I care! Syoy! read more

I stopped by this place because I was in the mood for some Asian food. I've seen this place in passing a thousand times going to work and wasn't sure how good the place was and thought to stop by a couple days ago. I ordered their beef/yakisoba combo plate with a side of fried spring roll and a drink. A total of $15, $18 with tip for one person. Sorry , if I didn't post photos, but the breakdown is this....75% noodles, 15% meat, and 10% vegetable....I mean really...two pieces of broccoli and scattered pieces of cabbage in a $9 combo, please, have some variation. Not to mention, all I tasted was sodium in their food. The fried spring rolls were obviously frozen cooked perfectly on the outside and mushy/doughy in the inside. Either, lower frying heat or cook to order. The ONLY reason I give 2 stars for this place is the service. The service WAS good. I just wish N. Portland and ALL of Portland offered a Mongolian-type place where you filled your own bowl with veggies, filler, and meat for them to cook...at least, then, you knew what you got/paid for and not settle what they gave you.... read more

This is our neighborhood teriyaki spot. We get takeout from here every week or so. We love getting the chicken teriyaki, katsu, and my new favorite this winter is the chicken udon. The noodles are cooked well, broth is flavorful, and great sautéed veggies & grilled chicken on top. Yum! Consistently good food and you're supporting a mom-and-pop during a tough time! read more

The chicken skewers are great, never burnt and the specials are great. If you're s spicy dish person, there's more than a few of those. If you're more like me then you'd prefer something like their sweet and sour chicken, teriyaki yakakisoba or something with a hit of rooster. Today (Friday) they're grilling outside. Its great. I have to admit, I'm a sucker for getting to smell good being cooked. So that's why we stopped. The people are friendly, hard working and polite. The place is obviously kept clean, yay! The servings are more than fair for the price, and if you want to eat outside, they're happy to bring tables and chairs outside. The place us nice, great for little groups if friends or, as I've seen lately , all the post office people ear there. We know they're in a schedule so it shows they're fast. Syoy read more

Fast Japanese food at a very reasonable price. Food is good but nothing out of this world. If you are a broke college student like me I'd recommend the $5 chicken bowl. (It's a hefty portion) read more

Bong Teriyaki - Veggie tempura is so delicious - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is a solid go to. I had a big combo so I could get a good cross section... Ribs-nice and tender, could use a little "char" Chicken also tender, and not over sauced...extra teriyaki on the side to add. Rice was just how I like it...sticky bit.not gluey. Yakisoba tasted marvellous, buy noodles were stuck together on a clump. Veggies were perfectly steamed, yet plain...just fine. Nice neat place. And the staff was very cordial. I will certainly be returning especially since it's in the hood. Solid...the 3 star rating is very respectable. I struggle with star ratings a lot, mostly because they're so subjective. I tend to rate on my overall experience which is also subjective to my dining preferences...a food cart will never get 5 stars because service is part of my review. read more

always the best when we go. the best hole in the wall restaurant around pdx. friendly staff

Thank you so much to Simon and the crew at Bong Teriyaki. Our office lunch meeting was a huge success thanks to your prompt service and expert advice for our group order. We will look forward to many lunches with you in the future. read more

Fast, friendly service and food is okay for a typical Teriyaki place. Ordered Curry chicken and a side of the sweet and sour chicken. Food tasted good, though not a fan of their sauce for the sweet and sour. Otherwise, the lady was really friendly and it only took like 10 mins for my food to come out, so I'm not complaining :) read more

Eek. Not fresh and not very flavorful. Most likely won't be back. Would rather just go to Mashita in NW.

Your mouth will enjoy it. Your tummy will be full. Your wallet will be spared. Definitely a healthier fast food choice! read more

I haven't explored the menu much, have just gotten chicken teriyaki every time, but it's great! Generous portions and affordable. Very tasty. Super friendly as well. Glad I decided to try it. Not sure what "Bong" refers to but definitely not the drug paraphernalia in this case! read more

this place is dank 10/10 would recommend, best teriyaki around here . quick and fresh and sooooo tastey

Great prices, quick service, and large portions. Call in, and they'll have your food ready within 10 minutes!

Super impressed. Don't blink or you will miss the location but worth it when you find it. Had the spicy teriyaki chicken, straight broke da mouth. Highly recommend, nice friendly staff. Priced well with big portions. read more

Nice people, good prices, good food and a clean place. Never have any complaints here.

I have definitely had better teriyaki but this place is damn good. The only thing is WE NEED SOME HOT AND SOY SAUCE TO GO!!! It's not complicated and you are waaay too stingy for ur own good. If i eat in i get as much as I want but if i get it togo it's ww3 to get any sauce...typical Asians I suppose... read more

Great tasting, authentic cuisine, with awesome customer service. Move over Teriyaki King (which I was told was the best in all of Portland) because seems like there is a new king in town. :) read more

Wow, what an unexpected delight. Nuzzled right in between a convenience store and a marijuana is a neighborhood gem. Excellent service, you actually feel appreciated for eating there. The portions are large, the price is right and the food is delicious! I am very happy with the chicken teriyaki I am eating right now!!! read more

One of North Portland's hidden gems (literally). It's located in a hidden pocket along Lombard. If you're craving fast, cheap, and delicious Japanese food, go here. It's also owned by a sweet Japanese couple who offer great customer service. read more

Great food for pretty damn cheap. Always treated very kindly, service is fast. Great 5$ deals too.

Delicious! Fast, friendly service. WAY Nicer on the inside than the outside let's on.

The old man is an a-hole and the food is not good at all. Don't go there. I went for lunch today, the old man is rude and the food sucks. Need I say more!!! read more

I really enjoy Bong Teriyaki (and its predecessor - which I think had the same owners?). I've probably been there 7-8 times now and have found the take-out service to be fast, the prices reasonable, and the food tasty. Our usual go-tos are the Yakisoba with Beef/Chicken, the Orange Chicken, or the Sweet and Sour Chicken. All are solid, generous portions, and consistently prepared. read more

It's clean enough on the inside to not scare anyone away. The prices are reasonable. But the portions are a bit on the small side compared to the competition. The flavor is ok. Nothing to brag about. I can say that my salad greens were my favorite. It might have been just luck of the draw, but I got mostly the heart of iceberg lettuce. However I think the salad dressing was non existent. The rice was cooked to perfection, but again not enough sauce to flavor it up. My teriyaki sauce was the smallest plastic Togo cup possible. I could have asked for more but I was a Togo order. Bag was tied up tight and I couldn't see the contents. I won't be going back for any of the reasons you might be thinking, I won't be going back because I've tried the competition. My advice to the owner is to check out Du's Teriyaki. I don't want this to seem like a complaint, but I feel like it might come off a bit "bitchy". Bottom line is... Du's has raised the bar for Portland teriyaki. read more

WOW. I just got the udon with tempura, and it's DELICIOUS. A feast for $9!
