I love this teriyaki spot! We always try to make it here on any Portland trips and our recent experience didn't disappoint. I got the teriyaki chicken breast and it was juicy, flavorful and generously portioned. The salad was crisp with the most wonderful ranch dressing and perfectly cooked rice. The staff is always attentive and kind and I love supporting this small business. Can't wait to come back! read more

Nara Teriyaki - Beef and spicy chicken combination. - Japanese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Have been coming here for 10+ years now, food is great and I will keep coming back here!

Meh! It's not bad, not great. The chicken is often over cooked. The tables are always sticky like they're cleaning them with too much soap. I'd go again if a friend wants to, but it's second or third choice. The staff is great! Super nice counter person. read more

I ordered the veggie stir fry, awful. It was so lacking in taste, spice, and variety. It was a hot pile of cabbage, the seasoning was soy sauce watered down with sugar water. It was benign and unappealing both to the eyes and tongue. read more

The VERY best Teriyaki in Hillsboro. Very generous portions, food is fresh and made in house, including her family recipe sauces. This place is my favorite! read more

Wait time is never more than 10 minutes and the food is always hot ready to pick up! I love how cozy it feels inside as well :)

Back to Nara, ordered Tofu yakisoba with half the noodles and twice the veggies. It took a little while longer to get than usual, I think it was the tofu that did it. When I got it back to work and unwrapped it, there was a TON of big cubes of tofu, not crispy but not totally soft, either. A small amount of noodles ( oh, weight watchers rules,you are so cruel) and a nice amount of veggies. There was not all the variety of veggies they used to have, I notice they have them in their stir fried menu items, but maybe not in yakisoba anymore? there was broccoli, celery (meh), onions, cabbage, baby corn, zucchini, and carrots. I missed the red bells. I love those. But, it had a nice flavor, and it was less than $9 with a drink, so I was satisfied. The place was full of men. I notice they give an Intel discount. The sweet girls who work there are very nice. It's clean and cute. There were also lots of little families. I notice they have a kid's meal for $3.95. Neat. read more

This little gym is located right off Cornell and the other Hillsboro airport. I have been coming here with my coworkers for lunch for many years. They have good lunch specials. There is plenty of parking. There is a good selection of teriyaki stirfry dishes on the menu. The prices are reasonable and most of the items are under $10. The workers are friendly and the service is quick. I've tried most of the items on the menu and have never had anything that was bad. Overall the food is good and freshly prepared. The portions are big and dishes extra flavorful. read more

Nara, you lied to me. You said "BULGOGI" and I melted. I was excited. My boyfriend saw "SPICY PORK" and at least his was what you said it would be. Unfortunately, he didn't much care for it. Nevertheless, it was pork. And it was spicy. I'm very familiar with [good] bulgogi. This wasn't even close. Also, half of my meat was fat. I could see the swollen cells in the adipose tissue. They were crying. I was STARVING. I felt betrayed and wanted salmon teriyaki instead. But is the salmon really salmon? The gyoza was superb. Best of any teriyaki place in the area. The rice was cooked perfectly. The salad dressing was yummy. However, besides the yummy gyoza and some mediocre meat, I don't know what I was getting. Rice is cheap. I got like $0.22 worth of lettuce for a salad. Subpar meat is also cheap. Meh. read more

Food is good. I had the teriyaki lunch special. The restaurant itself was very clean and quiet, so if you just need a low key lunch this place would be it. read more

Nara Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

I came here for my lunch with a co worker. She got the teriyaki chicken and I got the mushroom chicken with fried rice, it was only a dollar extra for the fried rice instead of the steamed rice , but I don't recommend it. It was far from fried rice, it was basically just the steamed rice with a little bit of knor chicken flavor added into it and frozen peas and carrots, not good. The mushroom chicken was ok, but the chicken was kinda hard and it had way to much sauce I asked for it spicy but I think they forgot because it was not spicy at all. The chicken teriyaki comes with a salad that just has regular ranch on top. They offer free green tea and we also got the fried shrimp appetizer and that I do recommend, they were delicious. The place was empty we were the only table there, but they were getting a lot of to go orders so seems to be pretty popular. The service was friendly as well read more

Came here for lunch today, ordered the chicken katsu. Was so disrespected they gave me fried bread crumbs lol the chicken is so thin like a piece of paper no kidding ‍Chicken Katsu read more

We ordered the lemon chicken, orange chicken, chicken katsu and chicken yakisoba. All three were on point! Large portions! The only negative is the restaurant itself seems kinda dirty. Table was sticky and it just felt like it could use a good cleaning. read more

Nara Teriyaki - Lemon chicken, orange chicken, chicken katsu, chicken yakisoba - Japanese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

The first time I had ever had Nara was through work. We placed a to go our for about 11 lunch specials. First I will say they were fast. Withing 30 minutes we were able to go over and pick it up. Second is the price is very reasonable. We have continued over the years to use them when the company is buying lunch or when a few us want to get lunch together. Only bad thing is they do not take american express. read more

Quality food and fair prices I am reviewing this for what it is the best low priced teriyaki place for lunch or a casual dinner. If you are looking for a sit down place to have a drink and order food this is not the place. The spicy chicken is good and not too spicy shrimp is good and not too much breading Hot and sour soup is pretty good Teriyaki bowl is perfect low priced lunch Order at counter nice people and quick read more

I order delivery through doordash. I was very very disappointed in the quality of the food. I asked for extra orange sauce for the orange chicken. I was told I would be charged $2 but I was not able to pay that but they gave it anyway. I was very disappointed in the amount of food I received. It was in a styrofoam container that did not give much food. For the price I paid I thought I would be given more food. I was wrong! I am going back to my old Japanese place. Think twice before going to this restaurant! read more

Consistently good, fast service, friendly owners. We always get the spicy chicken meal and it never disappoints. When covid wasn't a thing, they had free hot tea for your meals when you ate in and that was great as well. Dressing for the side salads is funnier than normal ranch but still tasty and my family enjoys it. Support small businesses so they stick around after covid! read more

I was ordering through the phone and the lady who I was speaking to was very impatient. I am sad to write this review because this was one of my favorite places but she said" oh my goooosh" as I was asking my sister what she wanted. Very rude and not worth my time or money. read more

Food is good. Fast, friendly services. Got to try if you have not. Love it. I like everything so far on menu.

This place used to be a hidden gem. The price was right and the food, while basic, was delicious. I haven't been in awhile so I stopped in today for the lunch. Seems like everything has changed. There prices went up, I can understand this , so no big deal. Then I noticed they were out of half of there sodas ( no diet :( ). I can understand one fountain drink being out but half seems ridiculous. I started to look for the tea they use to offer. I asked the lady and she pointed me towards the fountain tea, bleh. I swear they use have tea instead of soda, nope not anymore. My egg roll was over deep fried, it was like they deep fried it twice and to top it off I've been sick at my stomach after eating there. What the hell happened? I in any hurry to go back. read more

They recently added two new dishes. One is sundubu jjigge (spicy tofu soup) which is really good. The other is dolsot bibimbop (hot stone mixed rice with vegetables) and I'm so glad they added this one to their menu. It's hard to find decent Korean food around this area and bibimbop is one of my favorite Korean dishes. They use stone bowl and it's just right. Their galbi is my all time favorite as well. Check them out if you haven't visited this place recently. read more

Was referred to me by a friend...her lunch snowed so good. It was a good deal $6.75 for traditional chicken teriyaki plate with LOTS of chicken and rice. Quiet atmosphere, got it to go and before I could finish snap chat they brought my food. They were fabulous. The gal behind the counter also recommended the number 5: spicy chicken! I will totally be back and try it next time. Oh and the food was freaking fabulous. Chicken was something I haven't quite tasted since I was a kid, in my favorite hole int the wall. This place rocks! read more

I really debated between one and and two stars when rating this restaurant. The reason I ultimately did one is because of the cleanliness. When visiting the bathroom the doors and knobs leading to the bathroom made feel a little sick. I thought about going back into my car to get hand sanitizer, but since I wasn't eating with my hands and avoided touching the REALLY brown areas, and could probably use the immune booster I ultimately thought I would be okay. The food portions were large, the service was fast, the tofu was nice and soft, and the veggie selection was nice. I wouldn't necessarily choose to go again, and if I was in a car with people who wanted to go I would opt to bring hand sanitizer and avoid the bathrooms... although... what does that mean the kitchen looks like? eeeekk!! read more

Took out the lunch special (lettuce salad, teriyaki, gyoza, white rice, soft drink) for $5.75. Not a bad deal. I loved the teriyaki . I was a little unhappy that the side veg was lettuce instead of, say, brocolli and carrots, which seem to be more common for Asian/teriyaki places and got more nutrition. Gyoza was also so-so. They're deep fried and a little bit too "fast-food like". I would give this place a 3-1/2 star if I could. read more

Nara Teriyaki - Lunch special (soft drink not in the pic) - Japanese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

I got a to go order from this place one day for lunch. I tried the Yakisoba noodles with chicken. I got a pretty bad headache after having this dish and realized it was due to the bad refired oil that they had used in the noodles. The noodles was a little too oily and smelt of reused frying oil. It had a good blend of vegetables like baby corn, peas and some carrots, teriyaki chicken was also good. Had it not been for the bad oil they had used, this dish would have been super awesome. I would not visit this place again just because of the bad oil they are using thats causing me a headache and its also not good for our health. read more

This is teriyaki. Great service. Large portions. Great flavor and price. The teriyaki spicy pork was tender and flavorful. The teriyaki chicken was also very yummy. Will definitely return. read more

Nara Teriyaki - Beef yakisoba - Japanese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

My family and I have always enjoyed Nara's food when it comes to teriyaki. Their spicy teriyaki chicken is my favorite plate. What I like about the plate is that it comes with a salad because they're ranch is amazingly good. They even sell the ranch that is put on the salads. I mostly order take out from this place, but whenever I decide to eat their, there is plenty of seating available. read more

This is not the best food I've ever had, but for the price and the wait time, I'm extremely satisfied. This is particularly close to the Jones Farm campus at Intel...which explains why they give a discount to Intel employees. I'm a contractor and still get the discount, so yay! The teriyaki is quite good, the meat is cooked well, and the extras are done right. I have no complaints, I was glad to eat lunch here a few times so far, and I hope to do so again soon. read more
