Osaka-Ya

My Favorite Japanese Restaurant! Oishii!!!. Hello Friends, My name is Hiroshi. Being Japanese, I often get asked where I go for good Japanese foods here in Portland. This 'Osakaya' is the one that I recommend. It is delicious at very, very reasonable price with very friendly service. This place makes me fee like I.m back at home. I've know chef Mitsu-san for about 25years. He is a great chef, but very humble. He is friendly but very soft-spoken. He is a real 'Shoku-nin' (skilled professional').

My wife & I were there this past Saturday. She had a Tempura-soba. I had a Ten-don(Tempura Donburi) and a bowl of Sake Steamed Clam). Oh, they were so good!!! Oishii, Oishii!!!(Delicious, Delicious!!!) You know, when you go to Japan, you'll hear people exclaiming "Oishii, Oishii!! at restaurants or dining places. This is a joyful exclamation. That's because they are simply so delicious. These words come out of your mouth without thinking just like music. We don't care about so much about candle light or valet parking as long as we have 'Oishii Foods'.

Hiroshi…

Disappointed this time.... I am not sure if they are under new management but I am finding the quality of this restaurant getting worse. Last night I had a California roll with "Real" crab. I truly believe it came out of a tin can from Trader Joes. It had no flavor. I told the sushi chef. He just said "real crab" and no more. I didn't eat it and they still charged me. The woman at check-out register asked me if everything was ok I told her my story. She had no response and charged me the full amount. Too many great sushi places in portland to go back here... hope things improve...…

Excellent Japanese Food. Osakaya on Macadam has proven repeatedly to be a best choice for food, service, parking and cozy atmosphere. I especially like the salmon..just thinking about it makes my mouth water. The wait staff are always attentive and eager to get you what you want. I have eaten at the Osakaya's that are part of the chain and I would not recommend them. However, this gem on Macadam is the BEST!…

Good Restaurant. The fish is always quite good and I get the impression that some of the negative reviews are for other locations. If I understand correctly there is a chain of Osaka-Yas in Portland, however, this particular location (Macadam) is no longer part of that chain.

I can't recommend this location enough. The fish is delectable and I often visit for their soups as well.…
