“ When I'm missing Japan, Yataimura Maru is my go-to for authentic izakaya flavors, and the vibe is as close as you can get Stateside. All the food is delicious and the staff is friendly and attentive. So glad this place has survived the pandemic. (Are we still talking about that? ) Anyway, this place takes me back to Japan, 懐かしい! ”

“ Came in for a fancy dinner...but on a budget! Spent less than 60 bucks and left feeling extremely full, and feeling divine Got the salmon bowl *I'm forgetting its actual name on the menu, but it had a chicken option too* ; the tofu appetizer, which is my absolute favorite tofu preparation I've had in pdx ; my partner got a noodle bowl, he didn't like it as much as he wanted too but it was still great, he completely forgot the name of it though... ; the octopus dumplings are both of our favorites! ; lastly, the sushi roll was stuffed with tuna and topped with seared salmon, it was the most delicious item we had all night. Highly recommend for any birthday, special event, date night, etc! ”
