We're testing a new design in Portland, OR Metro.
It doesn't have all the bells and whistles yet,
but we want to know what you think.
If you prefer, switch to old Citysearch.
Gone to the Dogs.
Been here 5 times over the years. Always uneven, had one or 2 good meals.
But my last visit was very,very bad.
Waitress looked unhappy we had decided to come in, except when I
was adding her tip, then suddenly - all smiles!
Food was obviously assembled with precooked ingredients then warmed in a microwave, everything was dry and flavorless.
Even soup and salad were just sad.

gone down hill. We used to go to Hakatamon on a regular basis since they moved. Over the past year or so, the quality of the sushi has gotten worse. We used to love their spicy tuna roll. They now put the raw tuna in a blender with hot sauce. I find that pretty disgusting as it ruins the texture. The regular hot meals used to be excellent. This too, is not the case anymore. Time to find another Japanese restaurant. View Less …
Quality Dropping.
I have now had two bad experiences in a row at this restaurant. The service was poor both times, and the staff just don't seem to care.
I decided to give them a second chance tonite and they just plain blew it. I was served a luke-warm bowl of ramen and when I spoke up, they just yelled at the cook and asked for my money anyway.
How can they serve ramen the temperature of old bathwater??? And it's not like they allowed a hot bowl of ramen to get cold, the noodles were not cooked. Another way I could tell it was never heated sufficiently in the first place was because it had never been hot enough to melt any of the fat on the pork slices into the broth! Unsavory and unsanitary!!!
When Hakatamon moved into the space previously occupied by Sambi, they served good sushi, good portions, and always fresh. When they introduced their ramen, it was a good hearty bowl of tasty chashu-mein.
What the hell has happened to this place?
Oi, ten-cho! Hazukashii!! Kyoo no ramen wa mazukattandayo!

Best Sushi in the Portland Area. Ever since my wife and I moved here in 07' we look for restaurants to match what we had in the Bay Area. Hakatamon is the best place for sushi in the Area so far. Everytime we are hungry for Japanese, we go to this place. Homemade Udon is to die for and sushi is always fresh. I don't want to move from Oregon now because of great restaurants like this. Service is slow, but I forgive them having one of the best Japanese foods in the area. View Less …
Authenticity Abounds!. Episode #3 of the "Udon and Roe Show." If you are looking for REAL Japanese cuisine...look no further than Hakatamon. This is the real deal. The spinach salad and miso served with the meals are wonderful. So many Japanese restaurants lose me with their sesame dressing, but this one is perfect. The Miso soup has a great flavor and tastes very fresh. The pickled cucumber salad is light and refreshing and will be devoured in seconds, so do NOT set your chopsticks down. The nigiri we sampled was sake (salmon), maguro (tuna), and the tai snapper. So scrummy. The fish pieces were much larger than the rice but not so big you couldn't eat them without losing your dignity. Whichever roll we tried escapes me but it was totemo oishi desu. All fish was at peak freshness. Rice had perfect texture and temp. The only downside to the food is that due to a shortage of white wheat, the noodles were not of the hand-made variety that previous posters have raved about. The ramen I had was still very satisfying, reminding me of ramen I've had in Honolulu restaurants that cater almost exclusively to Japanese tourists. "Well Udon, tell me about the service and ambience" you say.....patience, Daniel-san. The waitstaff were the friendliest we've encountered. ...even after they had figured out who we are. A good indicator of authenticity in a Japanese restaurant is how many Japanese people are actually dining there, and the place was full of Japanese diners. We went on saturday afternoon and waited 5 min. This place is a "have-to-go-to" if you love Japanese cuisine, and like to murder the Japanese language in front of strangers. With Uwajimaya next door, you can make a whole afternoon out of it. After a satisying meal you can go buy a headband and join the Cobra Kai. View Less …
