    Pros: Neat and clean dining area. Good service. Food was good and portion size was good. Price was fair for portion size and quality. Cons: Difficult to find parking.

    The sushi is so fresh! Definitely one of the best sushi places we've tried. Service was quick and pleasant, definitely exceptional. The presentation of sushi was fun and creative. Definitely worth to try out if you're looking for quality sushi.

    What an absolute gem! First of all, great service. Both servers checked on us frequently, food and drink was brought out promptly, and it was all done with respect and a smile. We ordered the premium nigiri combo and sushi combo A. All cuts of fish were fresh, flavorful, very high quality, and BEAUTIFUL! The fact that both combos came with miso soup was a surprise to us as we have rarely seen an accompanying dish with a chefs choice combo at other restaurants. I appreciated the portion sizes of fish in each piece as well. We also ordered a salmon skin roll for an appetizer which was very good. Finally, three gorgeous pieces of hamachi sashimi that were presented in a stoneware dish containing dry ice. Nice effect!! Great value overall as this + two beers was $110. I'll definitely be adding this to our regular rotation.

    While the food was very tasty, their prices are a little high for lunch. And it felt rather odd that the waitress kept walking circles around the tables while we ate. Then at 2 pm, the staff sits down at a table and eats, talking to each other with food in their mouths

    Great quality fish and the staff we're all so warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back! We got two specialty rolls, a poke bowl, 4 pieces of nigiri, two miso soups, and a salad all for 80 dollars which is a great price considering the quality.

    BEST JAPANESE IN PORTLAND! Located in the old town area of Beaverton, this tiny little Japanese restaurant packs a big whallop! The food is fresh, beautifully presented, and the portions are big. I ordered the Bento box and easily could have shared it. So much food! All the sushi and sashimi were excellent, the tempura was wonderful, and we even had a delicious cold sake. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. Check out the amazing Shogun Tower Roll. If you come on the weekends, the place is small so there might be a wait, but the area is cute to walk around while you wait. BE BOLD, and try something new. Every dish is a delight. This will soon become your go-to place for great Japanese.

    The yuzu sake highball reminded me of the ones in Japan i loved 10/10! the bento box vibe was so cute and delicious i would get it again next time, it is very filling for two people since the rolls themselves are bigger than a normal roll

    Excellent service with a smile!

    Had an excellent lunch here today! Service, food and sake were perfect. It's a small space, so we arrived early to make sure we were seated well. Spendy? No. Worth every penny!

    Ama ebi
    Mike A.

    Amazing, fresh fish well presented and pleasing to the eye. Had our favorites including sashimi platter, shrimp tempura, ama ebi, soft shell crab, hamachi kama, and tonkatsu. The folks were very attentive and courteous. We enjoyed every bite by taking our time and savoring each of the different flavors. It was a zen like experience. Sitting at the bar felt like old times in Hawaii with the best chef, the freshest fish and the most satisfying dinner in a long time! WOW! A place to return for another peaceful meal!

    Koya Sushi was spectacular from the very first impression. Everything exceeded expectations--the warm hospitality, the stunning presentation, and, of course, the delicious food. My friend and I arrived close to closing time and didn't think we'd be seated, but the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which set the tone for the entire experience. As soon as the food arrived, I couldn't help but notice how amazing the presentation was. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Koya Sushi left such a positive impression that I'm already looking forward to my next visit for more amazing sushi!

    Monster Roll
    Jamie H.

    My husband and I stopped for dinner on our way to Grand Lodge after seeing the reviews on Yelp and we were so happy we did. The location is so cute and truly authentic. We ordered the monster roll and house roll as well as the Japanese chicken appetizer and all of it was amazing! The effort they put into their presentation is AMAZING! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We can't wait to go back!!

    "toro toro roll"
    Renee F.

    Koya Sushi used to be my top choice for sushi in Beaverton. i'm not sure what's happened, but it seems like they've been gradually slipping in quality. aside from their classics, like the hang ten roll, my favorite roll is (or was....) the toro toro roll. however, my handful of experiences ordering this roll in recent history have been wildly inconsistent and disappointing. they make it differently every time. sometimes they sear the toro, sometimes they don't. sometimes they forget the asparagus. the last time i ordered it, the fish smelled and tasted weird. this time, instead of layering a slice of seared toro on top, i'm fairly certain that they used regular tuna, crushed it up, and then topped the roll with that. for being a $25 roll, it's the least appetizing roll on my plate. the texture is all wrong. i'd rather throw back california rolls all day long than eat this even once. at this point, i think i'm breaking up with Koya. Update: Byung-Ho, thank you for your attention and response to this issue. unfortunately, there was no way to notify your staff of any issue to ask them to remake the roll because this was a take-out order. however, i have raised an issue in the past when we dined in, and the roll was not re-made at that time. the toro on top was seared too much til it was completely cooked through, and when i spoke with the staff about it, they told me "that's just the way it's made." i knew that wasn't true because i'd ordered this roll many times before. anyway, i posted a picture with the review showing how it was made incorrectly this time. crushed tuna on top of the roll is not how it's supposed to come. i hope greater attention is given to this roll and that takeout orders are inspected more closely in the future.

    Spicy tuna roll and Philadelphia roll

    This is one of our regular spots for sushi or a bento box. Their service is always great, food is excellent, and their pricing is reasonable. The sushi chefs create some really neat presentations with their different specials, always worth a gander even if it's for the table next to you! Highly recommend for a step up from a go-round.

    As many other reviews will attest, this is an excellent sushi spot. Their fish is high quality and…read morethere's a wide variety of nigiri and sashimi to choose from. They do have a large menu besides sushi so I've been branching out into their other items. This time I tried the miso ramen, and the broth was flavorful, not too salty, and it felt complete without needing to order extra add-ins. Better than some dedicated ramen shops I've been to. They might still get busy on weekends, but we went on a weeknight, it was pretty quiet and the food came out quickly.

Their menu is pretty large, with so many options to choose from if you're not really wanting sushi or just wanting to change it up a bit. We were sat down pretty promptly for a walk in at 6 pm! The space was nice to sit down with friends and loved ones for a bite to eat. We came starved, so we practically ordered the whole menu hahah. Nigiri: the salmon was superb. Very sweet, melt in your mouth, perfect mouthfeel! That was our first bite of the day and it really set the tone for the rest of what we ordered. We then had the kanpachi, madai, escolar, and ikura. I really enjoyed the madai and the escolar. Those were both buttery but had a great texture/chew. The kanpachi was fine, I wasn't expecting it to be slightly charred, but that's a personal preference! Next was the ika and the Hokkaido scallop. The Ika was delicious! Everywhere I go I always order the ika, and the Ika here was just as tasty and chewy. They added a shiso leaf with it, giving it more of a different flavor profile, slightly spiced/bitter. But I quite enjoyed that. The Hokkaido scallop was soo incredibly tasty. It was soft, bouncy, and sweet! No fishiness that can sometimes be found with scallops imo. Lastly for nigiri we got the spot shrimp. I thought this was just okay, similar to how I felt about the ikura. Not bad but there were better hits with the nigiri we ordered. Rolls: hamachico was my favorite roll we got out of the two. The yellowtail was so light tasting it almost felt like a palate cleanser with all the food we ordered, it was really good I'd order this again! The lobster roll was okay, I think the chunks of fried lobster on it was great, the base was like a slightly more elevated California roll as my partner described it. It was overall good. Negimaki: this was so so juicy with each bite and full of flavor! Would definitely order this one again. Lobster karaage: the breading to lobster was spot on. These were large fluffy chunks of lobster with just the perfect amount of crunchy breading. Paired with the spicy mayo and the tartar sauce- so delish! Miso soup: it was packed with clams, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, scallops, tofu, etc. the pot was PACKED. I didn't even get a photo, but I absolutely loved this. I'm not really a miso soup girl, but seeing how much others raved about it, we had to order it and I'm so glad we did. Best miso soup I've ever had! The star of the dinner was their ankimo, hands down. I've tried so many others, but this was so soft, creamy, perfect umami. I would've ordered seconds if we didn't have so much other food already. Overall dinner was delicious, and I definitely have my eye on so many other menu items to try next time!

Seaweed Salad (3/5): Fine and fresh, but pretty average. Sake Nigiri (3/5): Okay, but a bit heavy on the rice compared to the fish. Grilled Steak Roll (3/5): Steak, avocado, and cheese. It was fine, but the cheese flavor was too strong and there was too much rice, which took over the bite. Seared Salmon (5/5): Wow. This was the highlight of the meal. Very tender, perfectly seared, and full of flavor. This alone is a reason to come here. Smoked Salmon (3.5/5): Good and nicely balanced, with fish that was not too thick and a decent amount of rice. Edamame (3.5/5): Beans were good inside, though the pods were a bit firm and cooler than expected. Service: Friendly and helpful, always with a smile. Ambiance: Small cafeteria-style setting with rotating sushi on a conveyor belt. Simple, casual, and good for a quick meal. Overall, some items were just okay, but the seared salmon really stood out and made the visit worthwhile. I would come back for that and try a few other plates.

There was other customers that were canceling their orders, and I should've known better and canceled mine. I have had sushi at hundreds of places and I can probably say this is the absolute worst. Honestly, not one role was good. You know it's bad when a sushi lover has to literally spit out the roll. Literally throughout the entire order. Except the miso soup, which was just kind of normal miso. And my son ate the shrimp tempura, but he's three years old and my other son ate the white rice. The sushi was just complete garbage not fresh tasted fishy. I am not one to complain. In fact I have never once complained and this is my very first yelp review but I just have to warn people that this is garbage and you are better off going to a fast food place. Such a bummer considering $90 is a lot to spend and to just throw away in the garbage.
