Delicious sushi! My friend also got udon which was also super good. This place is MUCH better than FG sushi, so if you are debating between local Japanese this is the one to go too. They also have a wide sake menu, cocktails, though I haven't tried any. The atmosphere is super cute too! read more

Fresh and excellent... they know their sushi! Had the Tuna Poke Don (had them add jalapeño), which was outstanding. Even the rice and fresh ginger were spot on. Appreciated the great and friendly service. read more

Ordered the unagi donburi and saba (mackerel) nigiri, both being quite good. The owner and staff were friendly and seemed to enjoy their work. The space is a bit small but feels cozy, so it may be difficult to accommodate larger parties (6 or more) during busy times. I also went at a pretty busy hour, so the unagi took a bit to come out. I unfortunately forgot to take pictures as the food looked and smelled so good that I just had to dig in. It was a bit expensive on a student budget, but definitely a worthy splurge after an exam. read more

Really nice inside, friendly waiter. Relaxed atmosphere. Food was really good. Had chicken teriyaki donburi and yako donburi. I highly recommend. All the food looked yummy read more

It's one of the best and authentic Japanese tempura udon dishes we've had in the West Coast. We've lived and traveled through Japan, and cook Japanese meals for friends and family. It was really nice to find a restaurant that pays attention to good Dashi broth and serves shichimi with their tempura udon . I know the sushi and teriyaki are the rage in this region, but the SaWa's owners know there's more to Japanese cuisine. Love to come back to try their donburi since it is the name of their restaurant. Well done. We sat outside for lunch, but walked in to pay and use the restroom and noticed the decor. Elegant simple Japanese Living Edge tables. We would come back for the atmosphere. read more

SaWa's Donburi - Japanese Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

Some of the best sushi we've ever had they also have several rolls that are a bit unusual. We go there fairly often

A great Donburi option in Forest Grove. It's a hike from Portland, but worth it. So, go out there, go to SakéOne to pick up a few bottles of Momokawa and venture over to SaWa's Donburi for a bowl. They have a nice location and there's also a really nice park nearby. If you want to justify the trip even further, stop by Greenville farms and pick up your vegetables and meats for the week. read more

Great fresh food and attentive service. Sushi was very good, reasonable for cost as much as sushi can be these days, and tasty steak Udon.

The value is well worth it. Sushi done right. The large sake we got 8 pours in the 1 ounce cups. One of my favorite sushi places. Top shelf drinks, great mixology, with out the scrimping. A lot of organic ingredients, real soft shell crab, great spicy tuna. Top notch with a great full bar and lots of sake options. The house sake is wonderful. Savory. I highly recommend this place. I have been eating sushi in the Beaverton area for thirty years. Make the drive to Forest Grove. No regrets. Pricing spot on for the the excelling value of the quality. Quality - 5 stars all day long. My favorite spot. Unagi is beautifully delicious. It's a total win. Guy Fieri - where ever you are - triple D needs to visit! Nice job everyone! read more

Amazing sushi. The sashimi is so fresh and perfect. For happy hour they have a steak stir fry that's just umami. Absolutely love this place. So happy they're in forest grove! read more

Food is good, when dining in service is great. However rating is due to website pricing is not accurate and will not honor. As a consumer this is unacceptable to hear "we haven't had a chance to update it". read more

Had a lovely lunch with a friend here today. Service was excellent and the food was good. Would have been 5 stars but the menu was very short on vegetarian items. In read more

I can't comment on the food as it took an hour to get a water cup with No water in it! We saw 3 other people up and leave as well so we weren't alone. It looks good and if I come back to try it I'll gladly update the review but that was incredibly frustrating to wait with a hungry kid after a sporting event!! read more

I definitely enjoyed the quality of the sushi and the food here. Also they a very large selection of sake The specialty rolls are about $10 to $15 and and the entrees were right around the $20. Supposedly all the fish is sourced from sustainable sources none of the rolls contained imitation crab is always all real crab. read more

11/10 I've been eating here for the past couple of weeks maybe even months and I can't stop, there food is beyond incredible not just the sushi but I'd recommend the steak don I probably eat it a few times a week, and the interior of this place it's pretty chill highly recommend sawa for people who want a nice meal and also the relax. Totally forgot about the employees they are amazing best service ever :) read more

Great selection of rolls and delicious fresh sashimi!! Friendly staff and fun atmosphere. We'll be back!

A friend told me about this place , so I gave it a shot since I was around town and it was awesome! Our server Gean went above and beyond our expectations and service is always a big one to me! Gean greeted us with a warm welcoming and was so kind! She recommended rolls and her favorites which are now my favorite too! Everything was delicious and came out in a decent amount of time. I can't wait to come back and try all the other sushi rolls! Thank you Gean for a great experience! We will definitely be returning! :) read more

Super yummy sushi and great service! Love having a local "fancy" place for date night

Just happened by this place for lunch. It's great!!!! Best Japanese we have had in a long time. Great service, good prices and wonderful food. read more

The sushi was just average and not worth the price that they offered. I would rather just go to FG sushi, its cheaper and the sushi is just as good. Too expensive for the quality read more

They have a really unique selection of vegetarian and vegan sushi that I really appreciate! You get more than just cucumber and avocado rolls here. We got the vegetarian sushi platter and the vegetarian izakaya set, I was really surprised at the variety, that's something that can be hard to find at a Japanese restaurant as a vegetarian or vegan. Really great tofu and the best inari I've ever had. read more

Ordered take out, great service and excellent nigiri (omekase), however the spicy tuna roll was so spicy the taste if the tuna and everything else was lost. I love hot and spicy food, but the hot just covered up the more subtle flavors here. Since this is just my preference, and everything seemed fresh and well prepared, still giving 4 stars. Seemed like a great place to sit and have a more leisurely meal as well. read more

We had a great dinner tonight! Sat at the bar and had super prompt service. Got the Sake Chazuke soup which was delicious, also the zen garden, shrimp tempura, and squash rolls. The server gave us a great recommendation for the plum wine! Only thing was the green tea could have been a little hotter, as it was a chilly evening. Overall very satisfied and full! read more

Great experience and food. Was very surprised how great and tasty the food was and the prices didn't put a dent in the pocket. The ambiance is remarkable and quaint. The service staff is excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable on their menu. This is a diamond in the ruff as I was surprised at the quality of the food and how great everything tasted. read more

Very nice little sushi restaurant. I sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed a good conversation with the owner. Had the ring of fire sushi roll, it did have some fire. The fish was fresh the roles were nicely presented would highly recommend. Only negative was you have to pay for refills on Soda water. I drink a lot of soda water. read more

5 star water, seriously the best water. The food and service was great too. We made a reservation for lunch but there was plenty of room at the time. read more

The sushi was great. they service was horrible. we were seated by one of the employee's gave us menu's and walked away. started talking to a girl at the bar, it took 20 min just get drinks ordered, and that was by someone else. once the girl at the bar left he started helping a different table and taking their order but never once came back to ours. the other person who got our drinks finished up service. we could have ordered more as we were not full but didn't feel like spending any more money here. Its sad as this place is about a block from where we live. I don't think we will be coming back. read more

I'm not really a sushi fan, but this place just opened and we decided to try something new. The Chef's creation from our veg only request was amazing. Crispy Japanese potatoes, zesty sauce, asparagus and avocado, to name a few stood out with each bite. They were also accommodating on the preparation of fish for a scallop roll. The bar seating provided entertainment as we watched how our rolls were delicately prepared. Loud guests were contained in a back room to keep the noise element at bay. Our server was prompt and courteous in spite of the busy Friday night. This would be a shared plate style of sushi due to the size of rolls. Well done! read more

Menu is exemplary. Uni was the best. Presentation and table service was excellent. Claire was excellent at listening to our needs and responding with creative suggestions. House saki is bright and sweet with floral spice and cedar. Glasses were always full. This is the 'sister' to Syun in Hillsboro. I will be back. read more

We really enjoyed our meals! The miso soup was perfect for a rainy day. Sushi overall was good - the first two specialty rolls were delicious, the third was ok/good. There's a large selection of sakes, all with descriptions including sweet versus dry scale. read more

SaWa is by far the best restaurant in Forest Grove. I always have a great experience. The servers are super friendly and great with accommodating gluten-free requests. The sushi is fresh and flavorful. Great place. read more

Great place! Delicious food with a variety of creative menu items. Very friendly staff. Delicious cocktails and edamame served as an appetizer. Great date night location. read more

This was our first visit to SaWa Sushi and our last.We sat at the bar waited for 15 minutes before I finally asked the Chef who we order from he said oh I can take your order as long as it is not from the kitchen oh great. So we ordered 3 rolls as we were waiting for the rolls we saw the other chef smelling something from a plastic bag and handed it to our chef.That alone was a bad sign to what's next we got our three overpriced undersized rolls that were smaller then a bent hotdog to look like a sushi roll.No one came to ask if we wanted drinks service at its finest not. So we ate our five small bites of sushi rolls and asked for our bill and left won't go back to there restaurant it was terrible at best. Went to Mio sushi and had a real meal that you don't have to smell before you eat it. Stay away they won't be there long. read more

Excellent food. We had the Oregon roll. So fresh and the perfect amount of spicy. We also had a noodle dish, though not sure which one. Also fresh ingredients and the sauce had a lovely tang. The hostess was kind and sat us as quick as she could, even though we had to wait, because there aren't a lot of tables. The only thing that was not quite up to the rest of the experience was the bathroom. They might want to invest in a new door handle with a lock that works. I think it's shared with other businesses, so it's clearly not cared for by the establishment. Other than that, all was quite good. read more
