We ordered an assortment for delivery. The sushi items, miso soup, and yakitori were all excellent!

Banya was on my "to try" list and was more or less in the area since I was in western Portland metro area. Sushi sounded good so I headed on over. The menu for different sushi rolls is fairly large so it took me a little bit of time to figure out what I wanted. I got ones that were favorites as it turned out and I was not disappointed at all. I got an Avocado Roll, a Spicy Tuna Roll and the California Crunch Roll. The sushi was fresh and memorable! I will definitely keep this place in mind for future reference. Prices are fairly reasonable also.

Ordered on Doordash, not very good. Not sure what the fish in the bottom left is but I'm pretty sure sushi isn't supposed to be yellow. This tasted like I would get food poisoning from it (hopefully not). The fish was slimy, had a weird chew, and funky aftertaste. I took about one bite of each piece drenched in soy sauce and could not finish the rest. Spicy tuna roll is bright red and tasted artificial. Upsetting to have to leave a bad review but maybe this restaurant should not serve nigiri if it's going to be like this. At a price point of $25 for nine pieces of nigiri and a cut roll maybe that's my bad for thinking it would be palatable.I bet this place does good teriyaki and things like gyoza and tempura but these nigiris were extremely disappointing.

I really enjoy this place. I find the quality stellar..especially compared to cost. Which is moderate. I have been to higher end places that aren't as good and if you're looking for the best quality to dollar.. I think this is the place. The ambiance is very low key. The service is excellent. We had a range of sushi rolls and bento. Their gyoza was truly tasty and I really enjoyed their Geisha Bento. My husband and daughter got 3 of the spicy rolls and everyone left full and happy. My only negative is that they have barely functioning air conditioning. On a hot day, it just made it stifling. That being said, overall.. I think this is a great sushi option for this area!

Finally, an authentic Bento Box!Don't let this little hole in the wall, restaurant fool you... It's actually really good!I've been living in Portland for 3 1/2 years now and had yet to find a true, authentic Bento box, other than what Portland calls their version of a Bento Box: steak or chicken on a bed of rice with teriyaki sauce. This one is the real deal. (See for yourself)Place is small, but tasty. Despite what I've heard about service being slow, the staff was very friendly and attentive.We started our meal with a refreshing glass of lychee sake, and a glass of pineapple sake. Both were served cold and refreshing. Great startMy friend ordered the Dagon roll, and the Crunch Spicy Tuna roll, which both were excellent.Since my youth, I have loved Bento boxes . And since moving here, the traditional style has been really challenging to find, but this place fits the bill. The tempura was seasoned nicely and served hot, the chicken teriyaki was great, and as you can see, it began with a starter salad with miso dressing and a delicious miso soup, more than enough to eat. Reasonably priced, and even more so for lunch specials. You can't go wrong in this tiny little place with a big heart and big menu.

The food is good it's one of the few places I have found in Oregon that does a Philly roll with salmon, not the gross smoked salmon other places do. Their prices are good. I am glad I found this place.The service takes a while, but overall it's a great place! I love the feel of the restaurant you don't feel like you are in Beaverton, Oregon. The ambience is great!

Recently enjoyed a celebration dinner at Banya. While I would have asked to sit in the unique booths we opted for a table to accommodate an older relative.Our meal was delicious from the shrimp and veggie tempura and gyoza appetizers to the 4 different rolls we tried.My favorite was the Spicy Angel roll (though not very spicy at all). The Lion King wasn't like other restaurants but still very tasty and a good choice. We also ordered the Fire Alarm roll and a simple sweet potato roll. My only negative comment is there was too much rice and a tiny piece of sweet potato. I would prefer more sweet potato and very little rice.Last thing I tried was the chilled pineapple Saki. Highly recommend. It was refreshing and tasty.

I often do take-out from Banya, the sushi is always fresh and their special rolls are also very delicious. We either order for two or for a family of 5 so we tend to over order.We typically do a sushi and sashimi combo + a smattering of other rolls. And I love not having to drive out too far from home (restaurant is right off of Hall Blvd).

This place was our go to sushi place during Covid. Their sushi was very tasty and it was one of my favorite places in Beaverton. Since the opening of their restaurants, we've tried the sit-in option and both times they were disappointing. The food still was decent, however the wait time for the food was terrible. It takes forever for our food to come and both times they brought us the wrong item. The wait staff were very nice and apologized for the slow service. Just don't come here expecting your food right away or all of your food to be correct. We were a party of four, which isn't too large in my opinion. The ambiance was ok, we got to sit in one of those platforms, which created a different experience for us.

Absolutely great! Old school izakaya charm with Western style seating or tatami style floor seating.We stumbled onto the place at 430 pm and they were just getting started, I think.Hostess and sushi chef were friendly and seated us quickly. I glanced into the sashimi glass case and saw beautiful looking grades of hamachi, maguro and sake.We ordered three entrees: tekka don (maguro on rice), a bento with sushi, teriyaki chicken and tempura, and soft shell crab and vegetable tempura. We also ordered rolls of futomaki to be shared.Too, too many positives to list and the negatives were too insignificant to mention.Fantastic sashimi, crispy, light tempura, and fabulous futomaki.Long story short: Visit this place. It's worthy.
