Shoten Japanese Dining - Beaverton

Have you ever ordered any food from this restaurant over the phone? Did they respond immediately? In my experience, they only answer the phone at a convenient time for them. Today, I called again and again for almost 30 minutes to order, just in case, but as expected, they didn 't answer again. I have complained about this before, but nothing has changed since then. Will thet ever change? I 'd like to say No. because they seem to have no awareness of this at all. So I can 't give this restaurant a high rating.

Really good food. Great portions. Great value. I ordered the bento box for lunch and it had a lot of variety! Highly recommended going there for their lunch bentos.

Unfortunately I have had to many awful experience that I needed to change my review. This is solely for the food. Today was so bad. The spicy tuna roll looked like the tuna was canned. The rice was oddly sweet. The Hawaiian roll was weirdly heavy, mushy, thick cut fish, and mostly imitation crab.

Love their bento box combinations, and is my go-to bento box resto on this side of town. There's plenty to choose from and don't do what I did and order another side of sushi, it was too much food for me to finish, but hey I took the extras to work the next day. I got the salmon teriyaki and the sashimi, and everything was on point, and delicious. A bento box for dinner, and it only being $17, is a screaming deal, in my opinion. I ordered mine to go, sat down outside a few doors down at the Craft Pour House, and enjoyed my bento and a cold pint in the shade on a warm sunny day.

Not a lot of places capture the Izakaya feel like Shoten does. With a very classic, homey decor, wide menu selection, and great food, Shoten brings Japanese dining beyond just your paltry western sushi joint. Too often do Japanese places of this price point forego small savory dishes like the humble Salmon Collar, or will heat up 3 small frozen gyozas and call that a side. However, the devil's in the details with Shoten, who prepares those classics from their kitchen, which tipped me off to the quality and care they have for their food. Of course, their sushi and don selection is primarily what people look to for their order, which so far has not disappointed in terms of size, freshness, and taste. I'd reccommend their katsudon after a hard week of working- or for the sashimi lovers, the sakedon.
