Yuzu

Portland

Japanese Restaurant

$$$$

Located in a strip mall in Beaverton -- don't even look for a sign, the only marking is "Yuzu" on the glass door -- this spot is surprisingly comfortable. Japanese-born chef and owner, Yoshi Gemma, serves traditional izakaya, such as light gyoza (dumplings), juicy tori no karaage (fried chicken), and melty buta no kakuni (sake-braised pork belly).
