Excellent Japanese sushi and dishes. We like the varieties of offerings and it's nice that they have hot or cold options for soba noodles. One thing that we hope they will look into and improve are the tempuras. Our table ordered several different dishes that included the tempuras and also had ordered the main tempuras as the appetizers and none of them were the typical crunchy texture that the dish is known. Biting into each piece it was of mildly soft texture. Not at all the big crunchy texture. read more

Always a favorite spot to enjoy authentic Japanese food. They can improve the business with a better system for calling to make reservations or to go orders. Also there's no way of knowing if they are open or closed as they often do not answer the phones. read more

This place is authentic and reminds me of the nice Japanese restaurants in Hawaii that I grew up with. The food is fresh and everything you order is tasty. The sushi was very fresh but the bentos have my heart. I got the makunouchi bento A which came with katsu, teriyaki chicken, mixed tempura, sashimi and rolls. It had so much food that I had a whole meal for the next day. The only downside is that service can take a while but that was no problem for us since we were hanging out as a group. I would recommend reservations. read more

Worth it for the curry rice with tonkatsu, which is so tasty and fresh. However, the service is pretty slow. Expect to wait a long time to order and then a long time to get your food (40+ min!). The staff is friendly though! read more

We have driven by this place for years and decided to give it a try today. I'm so glad we did! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor and the service was impeccable. The place is small so it felt warm and cozy, and it was packed at lunch time. I was also surprised by the reasonable prices in comparison to other similar restaurants. This one is now a favorite on my list. read more

I ordered take out this time! The server kindly took my order and I waited indoors. I tried their mixed fried lunch for $16. It was fried wonderfully and it was delicious! I had two fatty oysters, two shrimp, and two pieces of salmon. It was really nice, didn't feel oily and heavy. It came with rice, no salad and soup because it was take out. Overall, it was very good and delicious. I wish they still offered salad in the take out, I feel like that's very easy to do so and all the other Japanese restaurants I did take out also came with soup too, it's not that hard. read more

I've been coming here more than 30 years. This place is perfect. The food is always top notch as is the service.

Little piece of Japan lives here. Such a great place fore some authentic japanese cuisine. This is the type of food you'd find in the smaller towns of japan. Mostly the same but somehow cozier. The staff are so kind. If you want to come here on the weekday there is typically no wait in till about 6:30. But in the weekend it's pretty busy. You have to be there right when they open. They do take reservations for larger parties aswell. The food is great! The sushi is what you'd expect nothing crazy just fine sushi here and the rest of the menu is also really yummy. They have a good variety of if traditional japanese dishes! Good tea is served here and delicious crisp clean beer! Kanpai乾杯　！！^ - ^ read more

Everything was delicious especially the eel. The salad dressing was delicious and tasty. The eel was yummy. The rice was cooked well and the pickles were crunchy. Alls well! read more

Almost don't want to make a review cause i don't want this place to get more attention. It's so good!!!!!! Perfect Japanese dinner, the service can be slow which is the only downside, on a busy night it can take a while to get your food. Wish they would recognize that they can make more money by staying open longer or just having more servers. 10/10 read more

Have been coming her for over 10 years. Consistency is good. Evenings can be a long wait, service of food can get backed up so you need to be patient. If you're not in a hurry, this is a place for good food. We love the bento choices, udon and sukiyaki dishes. read more

This food was made in heaven. I don't think I've ever had better sushi. The wait staff were friendly, quick and efficient. The sukiyaki was divine. The dressing on the salad was light and delicious. The miso soup balanced the right flavors. Don't let the fact that this exists in a strip mall, deter you. Once you enter the restaurant, you are transported to Japan. Everything is authentic, fresh, friendly. read more

The food is outstanding! Service was slow but it was worth the wait. Price was very reasonable for what you get.

I'm late in posting this from when I took the picture, but it is still on the menu and really delicious, the Makenouchi Bento, (B). It has tempura, tonkatsu, chicken teriyaki, and California roll. I ordered it to go, and it is a very busy place with specific/limited hours in which they are closed between lunch and dinner on weekdays and only open for dinner on weekends (and closed Mondays). It takes a while for the food to be prepared; so I went to place my to-go order and then did grocery shopping at Safeway in the same shopping center. read more

Cozy, old school traditional Japanese restaurant, a disappearing breed. The servers are friendly and helpful. The diners look like regulars meeting over a good meal. The complimentary green tea is soothing. Have tried many dishes, and enjoy the shrimp tempura best. The grilled mackerel is better than the teriyaki salmon. The sushi is good. I love this place. read more

For this 1/2 Japanese woman, I say it's the best Japanese restaurant around! Chicken katsu is made with breast meat. Tonkatsu is made with pork loin. My mom, who was born and raised in Japan, and 100% Japanese, likes their nabeyaki udon. My husband and son like their sashimi. Daughter likes their curry. This restaurant is always packed - both lunch and dinner. You might miss this little place in the Safeway plaza near Taco Bell and Dotty's. Don't be fooled by the mediocre outside because when you go in, you'll feel like you've stepped into an authentic place complete with japanese decor. Service is so-so and can be a little slow. They're not rude or anything, just don't seem to have any pep to their step. Have patience, your food will be worth the wait. For reference, I am adding a picture of their current hours (both google and yelp are wrong). Oh, they have a *delicious* saba mackerel lunch and dinner entree which I often get so I don't stink up my kitchen at home cooking for myself. read more

My parents have been coming here for 26 years and I've been coming since I was a little kid and the food has always been really yummy and great quality. It's a cute little spot tucked behind Safeway and the waitresses are so sweet and provide great service. My favorites are the nabeyaki udon, beef teriyaki, and any of the bentos, but anything you get here will be good. read more

Ikenohana is a very cool Japanese spot in Beaverton. The food is decent and it is priced very well. The staff is very friendly and are actually Japanese. It's rare to find a Japanese restaurant in Portland that is owned and operated by Japanese people so I thought this was a cool aspect of this restaurant. The interior decor is pretty dated but it is nice and clean. The service times were pretty long so that left a bit to be desired. read more

Ikenohana - Bento A - Japanese Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Ikenohana is a small and cute restaurant. It's very homey and the staff kind and welcoming. I would say that the food also got served in a good amount of time. The food was pretty good, I got yamakake don which came with miso and sunomono which was all light and refreshing. The food was good overall, although I feel live the fish could have been a bit fresher. The people I was dining with got a bento with tempura and teriyaki chicken and a gyudon. Both of which they enjoyed. read more

FIRST: Hours are wrong. I have tried to submit a photo to Yelp to have them correct it but they seem to not care. The restaurant closes promptly in the 8 o'clock hour. OK with that out of the way. The restaurant feels like you've stepped into a new world. They have no windows open to the shopping plaza, so the rice paper and wood light fixtures, sushi bar, and overall vibe make you feel almost like you've stepped into a family living room. The same people appear to have run this restaurant for many years. They have two lines of business - a fully featured Japanese menu, including daily specials then also a sushi menu that you use a pen and piece of paper provided at each table to order a number of rolls from. My dining companion usually orders off the regular menu and I usually order sushi. The sushi is OK, it doesn't "WOW!" me but it has always filled me up and been tasty, especially at the prices they charge. My partner's full dinner feels like a real bargain coming with a surimi salad (cucumbers, rice noodles, rice vinegar, sesame seed) and miso soup along with the main entree. This place is worth a try if you're in the mood for a family run Japanese restaurant with consistency over the years. Not much changes here, they aren't chasing trends, but the place has many repeat customers as noted here. I cannot speak to authenticity as I am not very knowledgeable about Japanese food. read more

Very fresh sushi and wonderful service. My husband likes the salmon bento and soup & salad.

The best Nabeyaki udon in town! Our family has been dining here for over 40 years, and Ikenohana has a special place in our hearts. My grandpa and his siblings who grew up in Japan had an affinity for Ikenohana's intimate style of home cooking, authentic flavors, the friendly faces of the staff who we knew for decades, and the warm sake. It's authentic Japanese home style cooking that's hard to replicate. Our fam favorites: - Bento A - Oyako-don - Saba Mackerel - Unaju or Unagi Bento - Katsu (avail in some bento or with combo) - Tempura (avail in some bento or with combo) - Sushi Deluxe - Combo (you pick 2 from list), our favs: Nabeyaki udon, Sushi, Tonkatsu, Tempura, Saba, Chicken teriyaki, Salmon teriyaki - Tempura ice cream IYKYK: their special secret salad dressing is very addicting - I know it's a very weird thing to say, but try it with the bentos or combos when you dine-in, and you'll understand. They really should bottle and sell it! We typically go for their cooked fare. Their sushi bar has one or two chefs, and it's good but we tend to stick to the classics and haven't really ordered any speciality rolls. Over the years, the secret got out and lines form at the doors before opening, and the phone lines stay busy so it's tricky to even order take-out without a wait. As our family grew (15+ ppl) it became harder to have dinners altogether here because they just can't handle that volume and the service can be a bit slow - it's great for tables of 2 or 4, possibly up to 6. I will admit the quality has also faltered just a bit, and possibly due to the increase in grocery prices but it's still very good...for example, in the past, the sunomono used to come with small shrimp, and they used to give you miso soup and salad even with take-out. You'll typically spend $20+ per person in most cases, especially for dinner, and it's worth it, but if you opt for just an udon or donburi it's actually pretty cost efficient. Support this local gem, hidden in a little strip plaza by Safeway and Taco Bell, and let's keep it going for another 40+ years! read more

Ikenohana was always a childhood favorite of mine so I thought I would bring my son here for date night. We arrived around 5:30 on a weekday and it was only about half full. I was happy to see that the menu was the same as when I was a kid and we both ordered my go to, Bento A. It includes a perfect mix with tempura, sashimi, chicken teriyaki, tonkatsu and tuna/cucumber maki. Everything is cooked perfectly with the tempura light and crispy, the teriyaki tender and the tonkatsu juicy with a crunchy exterior. Service was quick and friendly and our included salads and soup arrived quickly. The portion was filling and satisfying. My son said this is his new favorite sushi restaurant and it will be a regular for date nights! read more

This Japanese restaurant is a bit tucked away so it's hard to go there unless you know of it. Although it was my first time visiting, it felt familiar because of the cozy vibes of the classic/vintage Japanese decor. They have an extensive menu but we settled on Chicken Karaage to share and a Sushi Deluxe plate for myself. The karaage was light and crispy. The chicken was juicy and had a lot of flavor from the marinade. Like a traditional karaage, no sauce is necessary, just a touch of freshly squeezed lemon juice is all you need to elevate the flavor. The sushi was great too! The fish was very fresh and the sushi rice was seasoned pretty well (I prefer a bit more rice vinegar, but it was still good). One thing to note is that the service is a bit slow since the restaurant was full and had only two servers. Overall the quality of the food is fantastic and very affordable! Highly recommend. read more

It can get busy so depending, it might be slow depending if it's peak time. but great sushi and kind service, highly recommend

This is a small and authentic-looking Japanese restaurant nestled in a plaza. The curry is a must order! My friend had the curry rice and I had the curry udon, both were so much better than Glico cubes! They were both thick, creamy, and filled with good flavors. The suki udon had so many flavors inside that we couldn't tell if we liked it or not. Ikenohana probably isn't known for sushi as there wasn't much variety in the rolls--definitely catered towards more of a western audience. The waitresses were very sweet, helpful, and attentive. read more

Great, authentic Japanese food. I wish they also had the authentic speed restaurants in Japan have, but we can't win'em all. Honestly I like Ikenohana's miso soup over any miso soup I've had in Japan. Give it a try! read more

I read dated reviews about how their customer service is not up to par; I just want everyone to know that their service is actually wonderful.
