Editorial Review for Koji Osakaya Japanese Restaurant – by Ivy Manning

In Short
This restaurant is all about getting people in and fed in a hurry. Movie-goers and solo business diners pack into the small, sunken dining room. A dizzying array of Japanese specialties, from udon noodle soup to teriyaki, is available in addition to a standard list of sushi choices. Dinner items include broiled salmon, teriyaki and yakitori skewers. Shashimi is fresh, but rolls and nigiri are less inspiring.

Insider Tips

Sake it to Me

The addition of a small bar has spawned a few specialty cocktails like the Saketini--an icy sake-laced martini--and a tasty sake flavored Cosmopolitan.

Wasabi for One

The long sushi bar is a favorite haunt of those dining alone; the sushi chefs will point out the best fish of the day.

Way better than any Sushi Train type of resteraunt but not your fancy expensive joint. The fish is fresh (at least at the Wiedler location) and service in very genial. If I wanted to spend a third more for atmospere and presentation I would go to Sinju or Masu. If I just want some good Japenese food I will go Koji.

After growing up in Tokyo all my life I find it refreshing to have a place where I feel at home chatting it up with the Japanese staff and mostly authentic food. Thanks guys for making Portland a little closer to home.

Pros: oddly authentic for a chain and good prices

Cons: sushi is avg to good

Part of a chain of Japanese restaurants, this swinging Lloyd Center sushi joint packs 'em in.  See the full editorial review.
