Hakatamon Japanese

Good again. Hakatamon has had its ups and downs over the last few years. This was mostly due to changes in the kitchen and a paucity of waitstaff, but they seem to be back on target. I have had few complaints about the quality of sushi, but orders from the kitchen, even the miso soup have been quite bad in the past. I often order the Udon soup for lunch or dinner, and I have had a couple of poor experiences with warm (not HOT like it's supposed to be) broth in the pm. Service speed has improved significantly now that there is more then one person waiting on tables!

Sushi has always been good and fresh. I can only remember one suspect order of uni in the many years I've eaten there.

Overall, I recommend Hakatamon for sushi and large plate Japanese meals in Beaverton. My four stars reflect the uneven food fom the kitchen, not the quality sushi!…

BEST SUSHI IN TOWN !!. When people say, "I love sushi," what they really mean is, "I love fresh, top-quality fish." The atmosphere is small and quaint, the sushi chefs greet you upon your entrance, "Irasshaimase". The food served promptly and artistically presented. The sushi is made from quality ingredients and sashimi tastes yummy ocean fresh !

This place has some of the best sushi I have had, and I have eaten a lot of sushi !! You get your money's worth. NOT heavy on the rice and fillers as some places are. You know what I am taking about, generous with fish and appropriate rice content.

We mostly eat sashimi and love love love the uni they get . They also get some tasty fish not found in other sushi restaurants in town - like Aji - we eat sashimi style than they lightly fry fish carcass for us to eat. Its super yummy !

We usually eat here once a week since its so crazy good !

Maido or maido arigatou: "Thank you, come again!"…

Inexpensive, really tasty Japanese food. I discovered Hakatamon last October after moving to the Cedar Hills area, and I've been going with my wife (and everyone I can get to come) many times since then. Of all the sushi I've had in Oregon this is the cheapest we've found for this level of well-structured sushi, making Hakatamon one of my regulars. Some of the other reviewers remark on the small staff, but it's a fairly small restaurant and every time I've been there they have had enough staff to keep up relatively well without getting haggard. Kudos to the sushi chefs for putting up with our huge orders. Once I watched as they received my party's ticket and the two of them literally jumped when they looked at it. But they went at it and finished quickly, and WE didn't jump when we received the bill (unlike some other Japanese restaurants I've been to). A solid recommendation.…

small staff - declining quality. I've been going to this restaurant since June, and over the last few months, I've watched the quality decline. For some reason, only one server and one sushi chef have been working the last three times I've gone in. Last Monday night, there were more than 15 tables, with 30 people total in the place. That is too much for such a small staff. Plan on being there for well over an hour, and watch the staff work at breakneck pace trying to keep up. You cannot serve customers well this way. I think the owner will kill the restaurant if he doesn't change the way it's being managed. I like the food and think the servers are very nice, but I question going back anymore if things continue this way.…
