We came on a friday evening around 7pm and the place was empty -- we were the only ones there. It made me a teensy bit worried to see an empty spot during dinner time, but the food tasted great and service was good. This is a pretty casual spot if you're just looking for a quick bite to eat! Salmon and tuna poke don -- 8/10. The ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful. However, the salmon to tuna ratio was off with more tuna than salmon. Unagi don -- 7.5/10. This smelled super good, but it was a bit too salty for me. I thought they seared it nicely and the unagi was super soft. read more

Donburi Factory - Poke don and Unagi Don - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Donburi Factory is in an unassuming Tigard mini-mall, and the space itself is bare bones: just some basic tables in a line against the wall. But if you like raw fish, this is a great spot. The quality of the sushi was really excellent. We've eaten at a few conveyor belt sushi places around town and the fish and rice are never that great, so it's a relief to find a place with sushi fish this good. I got the chirashi bowl, which for $18.99 is a great deal. There was 3-4 pieces of salmon, 3-4 of excellent tuna, a couple of seared tuna, a shrimp, 2 pieces of eel, and a wad of spicy tuna and a dollop of fish eggs. The rice was really good too. The serving size wasn't huge, but it was enough. My wife got the salmon bowl and it was less food - an appetizer would have helped. We will be back! Very good quality, nice people. read more

A great affordable lunch spot for rice bowl enjoyers! I ordered their Chirashi bowl and the bowl was tasty for the price. I will add that even though the fish quality is not fresh omakase quality, it's still not bad for the price they offered. This restaurant shines more with their hot/cooked rice bowls than their raw fish options in my opinion. Services were quick, which is a great stop for lunch. read more

Donburi Factory - Chirashi Don - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Came here on a recommendation from a friend who saw it on Instagram. Cute little spot with very aesthetic bowls. Went with the spicy tuna don,& was asked if I'd wanted the crab salad , sure why not. Pretty much a fancy way of saying its a poke bowl. A good amount of fish for the price & the crab salad was really good. We left feeling full. Service was really good. My friend & I both ordered beef bowls (spicy) to go to take home to our guys. The woman behind the counter mentioned that she'd have it made later,so it'd be fresh for us to take home. Thank you very much! The beef bowl was also really good by the way. We'll be back. read more

Donburi Factory - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been warning to try this place for a while after seeing all the IG posts and finally got to come on a random Wednesday for lunch. The parking lot is pretty cramped because it shares with many other businesses. It's not a super big place with limited seating - it had a small bar counter seating, one 4-seater, and a few 2-seater tables in the hallway leading up to the bathroom in the back. We ordered Unagj Don, Beef Don, Chirashi Don, miso soup, and gyoza to share between 3 adults and a toddler. You put in your order at the counter and seat yourself, service was helpful and friendly. We were able to get the Japanese red pepper flakes on the side. I thought the portions were generous for the pricing for all the bowls but it was rice-heavy for sure. Fish did look and tasted fresh and the unagi and beef were flavorful. I think overall it was good and I'm willing to come back to try the Chicken Katsu Don since that looked good and the other poke bowls. Come try their yummy and filling bowls for lunch or dinner! read more

Donburi Factory - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I finally went! Every time I'm around that area, I usually eat at Washington Square or Hmart area but I finally went and highly recommend! Environment: it was a small place with a few tables that could sit 2-4 people. You bus your own table and get your own cups of water. Staff: patient and friendly and when we asked for plates to share she wanted to make sure if those were good enough for us. Food: I went with my friends and this is what we got to share: 1. Bulgogi donburi: to be honest, it wasn't bad but nothing was outstanding. I just appreciated that it wasn't too salty or sweet with the sauce the meat was good, not dry or rough. 2. Poke: this was good for the portion and price. There was a good amount of fish along with crab salad, seaweed salad, cucumbers, green onions, and masago. The downside was that there was way too much tuna and only a few pieces of salmon. If they could make the raw fish a bit more balanced that would've been nice. 3. Chicken katsu: they don't have pork here but their katsu was delicious. They give you two big pieces and so when you cut them up into slices, you have a lot and you can share! It was crispy, it didn't have an oily feeling and very flavorful. To be honest you don't need to add any sauces and it was already good. I enjoyed it very much and hope they keep up with the consistency! Just keep in mind, they make the food after you order so it's bound to be piping hot or fresh, which means it'll take a bit of time for them to make the food. read more

This is a small spot in a small strip mall. Order at the counter, lots of take out happened while I was I hear. We sat and ate. It's not bad, it's simple and straightforward. I got a chirashi bowl, the fish was fresh. The selection was lacking however. Where it really fell short for me, there was a lack of vegetables, with the exception of some crudely enormous cut cucumber chunks. We also had a beef down bowl. The flavor was excellent. Overall for what this place is it passes the test 100% on the most important points. It's clean, it has some good service and the food is fresh enough. read more

Donburi Factory - Chiarshi Don. - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I came to the Donburi Factory near the hotel where I was staying. The parking lot is also around the store. There's a counter when you go inside, so you can order there. There are seats in the store, but there are limited seats. I ordered eel and beef bowl with miso soup. Water is self-service and on the left side of the counter. The bowl I ordered looked good, but the color of the sauce on it was dark, so I was curious. As I expected, the sauce was salty and there was plenty of sauce on the bottom rice. I couldn't eat eel, beef, or rice because they were too salty. If possible, I hope the sauce will be less or in a separate container. read more

Not quite sure I remember how I had this place bookmarked but the fact that it's both close to home and to work makes it a place I should make it back to soon. I'm a fan of pretty much all Asian food and all the Asian grocery stores out here on the west side. At Donburi Factory, you have the option to just go to the location or order online, which is what I did. I figured I'd start with what seemed to be the most popular item, the Chicken Katsu Don and I added some gyoza as well. You can add or subtract items, like making it spicy or extra katsu sauce or even a side salad. I was not disappointed. The gyoza were made with chicken and not the usual pork, were tasty and crispy. The katsu was great! They give large portions and there was more than enough chicken and rice, plus some crunchy, pickled radish, of which I would have liked more. But yeah, I can see why it's so popular. With options like fried chicken( in addition to the katsu), beef, shrimp, salmon, tuna, poke, unagi and more, there is no shortage of choices and more reasons for me to return. Most everything is in the $15 range, so a little spendy but they give you more than enough food. I will be back soon. As always, support local and enjoy! read more

Came here at 7pm om a Saturday. This is a small place with only 1 table taken. Paid for our order at the front cashier, took a seat, miso served immediately, then the rest of the food came out in less than 10 mins. Chirashi Don: 5/5 - fish was very fresh, no fishy aftertaste. Unagi Beef Don: 5/5 - although too sweet, it was still very good. I have not been eating too much sweet lately, so it could be my tastebud, so I'm still giving this 5/5. They have a neutral gender bathroom :( read more

I can't pass up an Asian rice bowl so I knew I had to try Donburi Factory. They are a very small restaurant and I think our party of 3 got the only 4-top; all the other tables only sat 2. But they did a steady takeout business and had a few customers dining in too. We got gyoza, fried chicken, chicken marsh, and teriyaki chicken. All very good but the fried chicken was the best, in my opinion. Served over rice with some sauce. The spicy mayo was the tastiest and least sweet. Ambiance was a little lacking but the food was a winner. read more

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and gave us some great recommendations. We ended up ordering the poke Donburi, beef/unagi donburi, inari and a side of crispy fried chicken. All the food was freshly prepared and quite tasty, and the fried chicken was well seasoned; I'd probably come back here just for that! The donburi rice was just plain rice, a little bit disappointing if you're hoping for sushi rice. The atmosphere was boring, but clean and tidy. Everything came in plastic to go dishes, even though we were eating in. It seems like most people get their food for takeout. A great place to get tasty fresh food, but not a place to eat at for a cozy atmosphere. read more

Such big portion sizes that I was able to split my Katsudon into two full meals. I wish there was a curry sauce option, but the katsu sauce was good and not too sweet. Service was excellent, with the server bringing little chocolates at the end of the meal, which was super thoughtful. The restaurant has more seating than you'd think and doesn't feel cramped or uncomfortable. read more

Donburi Factory - Teriyaki Chicken Don, Gyoza, Spicy Tuna Don and Chicken Katsu Don - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We live down the street from here so we've driven by quite a few times. We were feeling like a rice-y dish tonight so finally decided on this place. I ordered the unagi beef son and my husband ordered the poke don. Mine came with one piece of eel, and it was excellent. Very tasty with a little sauce. My beef had a dry spice on it and no sauce. I prefer a little sauce, but I'm not sure what's traditional so no complaints there. There were some large pieces of beef in it. And I was only able to finish half my bowl. It's a bit pricey, but I will get two full meals out of it. My husband enjoyed his and while he could finish his, he wasn't left hungry. He asked for it without salad, but it came with it anyway. He still liked it. We also ordered gyoza. Nothing special. Just normal gyoza. But tasty indeed. Overall, it was pretty tasty. We'd go again. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday and wanted to check this place out. I love donburis so I wanted to see how they made theirs. It's counter service so ordering is simple and quick. The restaurant itself is small and has limited seating, so it seems that it's meant for mainly takeout orders. I got a Spicy Tuna Don and my family got the Chirashi Don. The chirashi bowl looked pretty filling but my spicy tuna bowl wasn't very full. The flavor was good but I had to eat the appetizers like the edamame and salad to feel full. One suggestion to add to the menu would be a miso soup as a side or offer a hot tea as a beverage option. Miso soup pairs well with donburis. Also I wanted something warm to soothe my throat but there wasn't anything to help it. read more

Donburi Factory - Spicy Tuna Don, Green Salad, Edamame, Chirashi Don - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Wish I could write a better review but this is the best I can say... A little pricey for a "take out" type of place. If you want to eat here be aware as seating is limited and very tight. We order two chicken katsu dons and two water bottles. Total was $32. If this was a "restaurant" or food was served in real bowls, I would have been happier but they are served in small plastic bowls, the kind you'd expect at a food court type of take out place. I guess the pdx.eater.com article over hyped a bit and my expectations were a lot higher. I really had my hopes up high but truth be said, this is a really small joint and best for take out lunch at most. No hot drinks and you have to pay for miso soup. They only have cold bottled drinks. Chicken katsu don and all other bowls are NOT Donburi so misleading. See my photo. It is a five inch bowl with one inch of rice and chicken katsu patties on top... read more

The food was so delicious and it can out hot and fast! I definitely recommend this place.

Simple and clean flavors for the Donburi bowls. I got the Chirashi Don and added a miso soup and side of fried chicken - like chicken tenders fried in tempura batter with a drizzling of spicy Mayo, it's tasty but not karaage. Everything was good, and worth trying out but it was pricier than some of the other Poké places. The chirashi Don was a decent amount of food, it's not covered in sauce like some other places so you put soy sauce on it with wasabi to taste. I believe you can ask for a side of spicy Mayo or ponzu as well. I haven't tried the cooked Donburi bowls so I'm reserving my judgment until I try more of their menu. But here's a short list with my initial observations: - Limited indoor seating (similar to nearby Mugen ramen) - All the food is served in to-go containers, even if you're dining in - No hot drinks, like hot green tea - Plenty of parking and not too busy - It's closer to the Beaverton / Murray-Scholls area than many other Poké places **My wish: Would be amazing if they joined forces with Mugen to offer Donburi and Ramen! read more

I'd never tried Unagi and OH MY GOODNESS it melted in my mouth . For everything was a little less than 50$ not bad ( we also got cannes sodas) . Would definitely come back! read more

Food tasted uninspired and bland, bowls were 85% white rice. Witnessing how the guy handled raw chicken in the kitchen, however was the true horror show. Using his bare, unwashed hands he shows his whole arms, elbow deep in the bowl of chicken then proceeds to touch every piece of equipment in sight. It's only a few minutes later when he realized I stare in disbelief that he finally decides to wash his hands. He spent a whooping 5 seconds using no soap no nothing. If this is how they behave when guest are present and watching, imagine what they do when no one is around. Fingers crossed we won't get sick read more

My husband surprised me with a lunch from here (I've been wanting to try it) and it was very very good! Got the unagi and shrimp tempura bowl - good quality, big portion (couldn't finish it all), really good price (given prices these days) and yummy sauces (got a side of unagi and spicy Mayo sauce). He also got me a scoop of crab salad added, so I like that there's the ability to customize. No frills, simple but delicious - if that's what you're looking for that's what I got. Not a single thing I would change! read more

Ordered takeout from this spot. It's cute and small the staff is friendly. We ordered 2 of the crab and shrimp salad and the chicken katsu don. It was a light dinner. The portions are adequate and the items were fresh. Did it wow - not a lot of wow factor. The chicken katsu don rice was not flavorful. I would have preferred sushi rice. The salad was ok a little too much seaweed that overpowered it. The crab tasted more like krab. Will try some other dishes in the restaurant rather than takeout. I always want to give new spots a try. read more

Very solid lunch, dine in or to go option. Limited menu, but all I've tried done well. Very good option for quality and value.

The food here was great and tasted very fresh, I was very happy with how it all tasted. The salmon and tuna slices were really big which was great for the price. While I would give this place a 5 stars, the sauces were not the best, the eel sauce and the spicy mayo were both too sweet which made me not want to use them when I usually love my sauces. read more

Oh my! The Donburi Factory is dangerously too close to where I live and now that I know about it, I will be a regular. This is Japanese comfort food: rice bowls with meat, seafood, tofu, sashimi, poke & sides like gyoza, edamame, and "karaage" (crispy fried chicken bites). It opened a little over two months ago and I'm happy to see the mostly -and well-deserved- positive reviews. Inside is a bit sparse and quite small but very clean. Friendly and attentive staff too. Some reviewers say the prices are too high but the fish IS sushi grade and that and all seafood, is expensive anywhere, plus everything is fresh and made to order. I think the prices are pretty fair. I tried the Salmon Poke Don ($16.99): salmon, crab salad, cucumber, seaweed salad, romaine lettuce, and masago with your choice of sauce: sweet and spicy poke sauce or ponzu sauce (a citrusy soy sauce). I asked for no cucumbers over all salad, no rice, and the poke sauce. It was a perfect portion and absolutely delicious. My husband had the Chirashi Don ($18.99): tuna, salmon, albacore, unagi, shrimp, minced tuna, masago, wasabi, ginger, with soy sauce on the side. He also had rice which was not as sweet as other sushi rice (and that's a Good Thing). We also had two orders of edamame ($9.98), a miso soup ($2.50) and a two-piece inari sushi ($3.99). I love fresh ginger and the inari came with a huge scoop of it and I was in heaven! I'd love to see some outside seating as spring and summer approaches and a nice hot tea offering of some kind. Overall excellent and I highly recommend Donburi Factory. read more

Our first time here on a Wednesday night at almost closing time but the staff was so nice and let us dine in. This is what we got in the order of our preference: 1.

Tofu Teriyaki Don: so crispy from the outside and soft in the inside. Came w a side of sauce for dipping 3. Poke Don: fresh seafood but wish there was equal portions of tuna and salmon and a little more sauce. All the ingredients were super fresh and tasted really healthy. We're happy we gave this new spot a try. Overall, we would recommend this place. We'll be back and try the other dishes on the menu. read more

A small little restaurant with counter service. Probably best to order to go as there is very limited seating. Overall, customer service was nice. The lady was super friendly. She even carried our takeout order to us vs calling out our order. My boyfriend ordered the fried chicken don and I got the unagi-gyudon. The food was delicious. I do find it pricy for what you get. But 2023 and inflation.... They gave me the option to make my dish spicy which I think was just them adding pepper flakes. I found the spice very mild and tolerable. The meat was tender and marinated well. I do wish they cut the pieces smaller as they were giant chunks of meat stuck together. It would have been nice to have an egg with my gyudon. Rice was a bit too soggy for my taste. Overall, I would like to comeback. Wish they had cooked options available for poke as I'm not a fan of raw fish. read more
