Japanese Express

Agedashi, okonomiyaki, karrage and takoyaki aren’t items you can find at your garden variety Portland-Japanese restaurant, but Japanese Express does them all, and so many other amazing, authentic Japanese dishes, extremely well! Top-quality Japanese cuisine is slim-to-none on the east side, which makes Japanese Express a welcome addition to the awesome Troutdale Village Food Carts! Can’t wait to go back!

Just got the agedashi and oyakodon, and they were delicious. Tokyo style dishes, and he’s got traditional Japanese food you don’t normally see at other restaurants and hasn’t “Americanized” it. Definitely recommend going here if you like Japanese food or want to try some more authentic stuff!

Agedashi tofu was really good. So well made. The beef udon was good too. A lot of high quality beef in the bowl

I have had several items from here that were amazing- spicy edamame and tempura mushrooms. However, last visit I ordered the garlic fried rice, based on the yummy menu picture. When I got it, it was smothered in a thick layer of bonito flakes. There are no bonito flakes in the description or photo. I am a vegetarian, so I couldn’t eat it. I will certainly order from them again as their food is so good, but I will ask for no bonito flakes!
