This is the kind of Ramen place you go to if you're old and like good food without someone's idea of crappy music blaring or sports playing on giant flat screens. This is where you come when you want to bask in the coziness of knowing your food was prepared in a kitchen you can see, the employees like each other, and the couple running the place knows what they're doing. The sake is brilliant. The ramen will wisk you away to Japan. It has to be tried to be believed. Don't take my word for it.
Food/Drinks: 5/5 The food is immaculate every single time. Out of all of the ramen restaurants that I've had in the Portland metro area, this is definitely the best. Furthermore, their consistency is outstanding. Regardless of whatever you are eating, it is immaculate every single time. Service/Atmosphere/Prices: 5/5 The service provided by the staff is top tier. It has the classic Izakaya vibes. Overall Comments: 5/5 Continues to exceed expectations. Will continue to refer friends and definitely will return.
You gotta come to Yuzu, in Beaverton, OR, for authentic Japanese classic food! Visiting from Vancouver, BC we have a lot of exceptional Japanese ramen restaurants and if Yuzu opened in Vancouver, they would do amazing! You might walk past Yuzu as there is no large sign on the exterior. Once you enter, the interior is so cozy and inviting. We shared Agedashi Tofu and we all ordered ramen. Hubby likes his spicy (Kokuni Ramen) and rest of us ordered mild Miso Ramen. I did ask for soba noodles (buckwheat) instead of egg noodles as it is good for my dietary restriction. Delicious and satisfying. We came the day before to make a reservation for next day (dinner). I believe it was the owner we talked to and we weren't sure if she remember us as as it didn't write it down. We were pleasant to see our table had a 'reserve' sign when were seated. Wonderful service!
Amazing Ramen and Sake! Great Service! Wish they are open longer tho yet I understand that's why the quality of food is excellent due to small batches production.
Everything here is really delicious! The ramen is the best in town. The ambiance is cozy and comforting. All the dishes were very high quality as well. My only complaint is that the portion sizes are a bit small. It takes multiple dishes to get full.
Hole in the wall restaurant that's worth the try! Long wait though so make sure you arrive early! Flavor was really good but they don't give much noodles.
Great food as usual and authentic Japanese cuisine . Traditional Japanese menus are available here. Price is reasonable and great tasty Japanese food will be serve.
Yuzu is one of beaverton institutions, a hidden gem. In fact, it could be challenging to find their shop as it simply marked "YUZU" on their entrance. It's been a while since I was there, so I was pleasantly surprised nothing really has changed. Knowing there were limited seatings , we called ahead to make a reservation and we were glad we did. Many drop in customers had to wait for 30 minutes or turned away, which could be a bummer. The food here is Japanese beer house style. You'll find some rice balls, grilled meat, and other common Japanese dishes such as Katsu and ramen here. We ordered some sake, grilled shishito peppers, the house ramen and katsu curry rice, and liked all of what we ordered. The ramen was rich and savory, with fall apart pork belly chunks. My boyfriend really enjoyed the smooth curry and crunchy pork katsu as well. It was fun to see what the chef was doing thru the open kitchen, and our servers were very friendly and attentive, which made our dining experience very enjoyable. Overall, we like this little gem in beaverton and will come back again.
I loved their vegetarian ramen! There was a generous amount of noodles with enough veggies and tofu to make it filling without overpowering. The broth tasted well too. They also have 2 optional levels of spice (medium-spicy and spicy) and I went with Spicy. The broth was more red and hotter but it enhanced the experience without sacrificing the taste - if you love your spice definitely go for it. I switched the egg noodles for rice noodles, which was fresh and went really well with the ramen. Service was great, we unknowingly stayed past closing but they didn't rush us out and were kind with us from start to finish. The place itself was clean and felt homely and a had a small family-vibe to it. It is hard to find the place though, it's in the same parking lot to the UPS store but their sign is not lit up outside so if you park in that lot and walk to the right of UPS you should be able to find it.
I came here to dine alone the other night having heard great things from some friends / acquaintances. It was a cold night and I was ready for some soul-warming Japanese food. Upon entry, you're greeted by an incredibly kind staff and relaxed atmosphere. This is clearly a great place to relax, order sake / beer, and food while hanging out with friends. I ordered some hot sake (waitress / owners rec), pork Katsu (single order), and the curry ramen. The sake was great and both food items hit the spot although may have been a little underwhelming (curry ramen was good but not great and the Katsu was deliciously tender but the crust got soggy quickly). Overall, I'd come here again with a small group and focus my food orders on the Izakaya style foods and drinks. I'd recommend this more for a group hang than for a solo dining experience.
