Best teriyaki in Portland! The minute you walk in you feel welcomed by who I believe are the owners up front. I've tried almost everything on the menu and I can easily say that it's all good! Most teriyaki places either focus on the sauce or the quality of their proteins, you hardly ever get best of both worlds but Koko Teriyaki nails both! My favorite so far has been the hot n' spicy chicken. read more

Went to Koko Teriyaki on Friday for lunch, enjoyed it so much we went back on Saturday! We would've gone on Sunday too if the were open! Haha. The woman at the counter/taking orders was SO sweet. Very welcoming and friendly and happy to answer any questions. Loved the salmon teriyaki bowl both days and especially liked the veggies it came with. Lunch specials were a great deal too. Big portions! read more

I've been stopping here now and then for lunch for the past several years. Thought it was time to update my original review. The place is still great. The owner is a (I think) a Japanese fellow and I believe everyone who works here is family. There's often a young girl at the counter who I suppose is his grand daughter. She is very sweet and very bubbly. You walk in and get a big smile and an enthusiastic hello. I only go now an then but she treats me like I am a regular she sees every day. I go up to the counter and she knows what I order... always chicken teriyaki. I don't have to say a thing. She rings me up and a few minutes later I have a hot, tasty meal in front of me. There are a few "rice bowl" type businesses in Cedar Mill and they are all good. But Kokos is the best! I'd encourage my fellow Yelpers to check them out if they haven't already. The prices are very fair especially for what you get. A filling, tasty, healthy meal. I don't know if they do this for everyone but the owner is always there and sometimes works the counter. He gives me the veterans discount which knocks a little off the usual, already low price. Plus I get double the meat so now it's a very inexpensive lunch in a container that is just packed with food. Hence the reason for this review refresh. I don't think they make much of a profit and being in the mall I'm sure their overhead is high. The folks there work very hard and likely don't get paid much. Dunno if they are native Americans or immigrants but they are living the American dream. I'm sure one day all that hard work will pay off and they will be very successful. But given how nice they are to me I'm sure they lose money every time I show up for lunch. So I very much appreciate their kindness and generosity. They don't make much money but they generate a lot of goodwill.... wanted to pay it forward in some small way by posting this glowing and well deserved five star review. I hope Kokos will be here for a long time. It's one of the few restaurants I can still afford to patronize. A nice meal that someone else cooks for me has become a rare treat in my life. So THANKS! read more

Really kind staff, good food and came out quickly even though we placed a big order! Definitely recommend

All around Excellent! Service was fast and friendly, like they're greeting a member of the family. We both had teriyaki chicken. Tender and juicy. Vegetables were prepared in a way I'm not used to, and I really liked it - steamed carrots, cabbage, and broccoli, I'm used to raw. Deep fried gyoza was good too. We'll be back! read more

Koko and her husbands teriyaki shop have become a staple for our family here in Cedar Mill. The food and the kid serve is fantastic and I love chatting with them when we go in. Food is quick as well in case you're in a pinch coming home from work one evening read more

Environment: They've been here for awhile but I never really visit this plaza for food but I ordered some for my friends and myself! Staff: the owner was super friendly, kind, and welcoming to both new and usual customers. Food: I ordered the chicken lunch special for $8.95. It came with a fountain drink, too to my surprise. The chicken were grilled nicely and the rice texture was quite good, too. There were also lots of veggies, too. I wish there were a couple more pieces of chicken but for the price you pay, it makes sense. I also liked how the sauce was not too salty or overly sweet. It was a good balance of flavors. read more

Absolutely incredible from top to bottom! The owners and their kids are usually on site and eager to help! Their prices are extremely reasonable for the area - especially their lunch special! Big portions, fresh produce and lots of chicken! The food comes out in under 5 minutes usually. Ample parking - this is one of the very few fast casual sit down places i will give the 5 stars to. It's about as good as it gets! read more

Koko Teriyaki - I couldn't stop eating. Excellent quality. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stopped here for my lunch break. I'm glad I did. I really enjoy some good teriyaki. And this was pretty much exactly what I was craving. It was around 11:30 and there were maybe 5 people waiting for there food to go. I ordered the Spicy yakisoba chicken. It came out pretty quick. For the price point and quality I loved it. I came with some veggies. Do wish the loaded them up a little more. The noodles were good. The chicken was moist and had good flavor. I will be back for sure. I guess the only other thing I would say is since I love condiments for my teiyaki I wish they had more options other than teriyaki sauce and sriracha. Maybe peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce and the chili garlic sauce. Anyways if you haven't tried them you should read more

Went here tonight given the positive reviews here on Yelp. Kokomo did not disappoint as my chicken teriyaki was scrumptious and healthy with a brown rice substitution and fresh steamed veggies. Also, the woman at the counter teriyaki was super welcoming and nice. She gave me a free soda because she knew it was my first time visiting. As the Terminator would I say "I'll be back!" Of course, back in a happy, hungry way read more

The teriyaki chicken had good flavor but the yakisoba noodles had a red sauce which tasted too much like ketchup. If I went back I would definitely order the rice instead. read more

Came here after going to the Columbia sportswear employee store which was less than a 5 minute drive. Super convenient location in a strip mall near Beaverton. The main menu had pictures of each item which was very helpful. Off to the left was another menu with three lunch specials. Lunch went until 2pm so I decided to get the chicken teriyaki lunch special for $8.95. That was a really good deal for the amount of food they give. I still had leftovers but my boyfriend comfortably finished his meal and was satisfied. I thought the teriyaki sauce was a tad too sweet and I wasn't a huge fan of the unseasoned veggies. I prefer the salad with sesame dressing at other teriyaki places. It was a solid meal but I think I'll go to other stable teriyaki restaurants when I need my teriyaki fix. read more

Five stars alone for the sweet lady at the counter! Ordered three yakisoba dishes: chicken, hot and spicy chicken and shrimp. Oh my goodness...get the noodles! Tasty, nice bite and nicely stir fried with lots of veggies (cabbage and carrots) and sweet teriyaki! Got the potstickers which were obviously homemade with a thicker skin and stuffed with chicken and cabbage, it was delicious! Was offered free drinks and we sat inside on a cold winter night. Thank you for being open and making delicious food. read more

I am one of those people who grew up eating teriyaki proteins at home, because my Caucasian but Asian food obsessed parents had both lived in Hawaii before moving to San Francisco. My folks were always marinating meat in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic and throwing it on a hibachi or the big grill. Even our annual Thanksgiving turkey got the teriyaki treatment and was cooked on a spit stuffed with beans sprouts, mushrooms, etc. So, a new teriyaki place opens close to us and we got an endorphin burst. Have I mentioned the teen's teriyaki salmon fixation? Anyway, I know I know... get to the point, Janet. Friendly nice people. I called it in, everything went smoothly. Good prices. Lunch specials. They offered us free small sodas ( we aren't doing soda much but that was a kind offer). Crispy outside and tender inside salmon. Good rice, perfectly cooked. Yummy teriyaki sauce, not too sweet, and reportedly good hot sauce. The only not awesome thing was the veggies- a huge pile of almost raw unseasoned cabbage with a couple slightly more cooked broccoli florets and a sliver of rawish carrot. I think we would prefer it totally cooked down and caramelized or completely raw like a slaw. Or a salad would be ok. Or some kind of seasoning might help. Despite the veggies the rest was lovely and we are definitely going back because there are potstickers! and tofu! and shrimp! All very cool! We are very happy to have Koko near us. read more

In all fairness, we got there about 30 minutes before closing time and they were out of chicken (I am guessing that is what they are known for. The service was excellent... The food was fine. If we are in the area, we wouldn't hesitate to go, but we wouldn't drive there specifically. read more

This place is a wonderful surprise! Food was great(had the beef and chicken Teri combo and the salmon teriyaki). Yes they forgot to add the Teri sauce onto the salmon but we had some at home.

Koko Teriyaki! There was a hot debate today over what to get for our coworker lunch today - Loki's won out! The positive first - customer service was incredible! They gave us extra potstickers and overall were lovely to deal with. The mediocre next - the food was okay. Not bad, but not amazing. I had the sweet and sour chicken, and the breading was sort of soggy... the vegetables leave something to be desired. Overall though, not bad food! Just didn't blow me away. If you need a good customer service spot though, this is the place! read more

This place is delicious! Glad we found a new spot nearby for teriyaki. The portions are huge. I thought everything was cooked well. Service was phenomenal. I even made a comment to my partner that I wish every establishment had service like this. We ordered the chicken teriyaki with dumplings, beef teriyaki, and egg rolls. They even let us do half and half rice and noodles. Price was average (for inflationary times). The teriyaki sauce was a bit too sweet for me but my tolerance for sweet is low. Will def be back! read more

The food here is amazing. This is exactly what I want when I want teriyaki. The person who took my order was very friendly and concise

I stopped by for a quick dinner with some friends recently, after having had a pint next door at the Cascadia taphouse. It was fine, but honestly I was a bit disappointed relative to the many other teriyaki places out on the east side (Joy Teriyaki is my go-to, which compares favorably). Prices seemed high, although I think that may just be inflation. But I'd be curious how their prices stack up relative to peers. I think the entrees were about $16, which just seemed a bit high for takeout. I had the Salmon Teriyaki. The salmon itself was fine, though the flavor was a bit lacking. They serve it with teriyaki sauce on the side -- of course dousing some protein and rice with sugar will make anything taste fine, although it just didn't have that savory flavor that you get at some other teriyaki places. I also just wasn't impressed with the interior. The lighting was insufficient, and everything just seemed bathed in a bit of grey subtle tones. And the seating was organized inefficiently, with several rows of seats accommodating maybe 8 (who brings 8 people into a place like this? they should break it out into smaller tables with 4). I saw that there is a Japanese restaurant, and also a Vietnamese+Thai restaurant, in the same strip mall. I might be tempted to try either of those next time to see if they compare favorably. read more
