We saw house made udon on their menu and mom lovesss udon so checked out Wa Kitchen Kuu in NE Portland! The biggest surprise was the chicken katsu curry which had such a deep, rich flavor we haven't had anywhere else. Only note would be that mom's soup was on the salty side (prob a one off) but the flavors were spot on 👌 Go check them out and bring us with you kthx 📍Wa Kitchen Kuu 125 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd Portland, OR 97232

If you're looking for a culinary experience that will delight your senses, look no further than Wa Kitchen Kuu. This gem of a restaurant has quickly become the go-to destination for sushi lovers, and for good reason! First up, the Tuna-Krab-Salmon sushi rolls are a must-try. The combination of fresh spicy tuna, succulent crab salad , and rich salmon creates a perfect harmony of flavors that burst with every bite. The quality of the fish is impeccable, ensuring a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Next, the Fatty-Unagi Maki sushi rolls are a true indulgence. The unagi, or eel, is grilled to perfection, giving it a smoky depth that pairs beautifully with the sticky rice. Each roll is a delightful balance of sweet and savory, making it hard to resist ordering another. Finally, the White Tiger Sushi rolls are a showstopper. With their stunning presentation and bold flavors, these rolls are as visually appealing as they are delicious. The combination of ingredients creates a unique flavor profile that leaves a lasting impression. The ambiance of Wa Kitchen Kuu adds to the overall experience, providing a cozy yet vibrant setting that's perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. The attentive staff is knowledgeable and passionate about sushi, enhancing your dining experience with their recommendations. In conclusion, Wa Kitchen Kuu is a must-visit for anyone craving exceptional sushi. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or a newcomer to Japanese cuisine, the Tuna-Krab-Salmon, Fatty-Unagi Maki, and White Tiger rolls will undoubtedly leave you wanting more. Don’t miss out on this culinary treasure!

Honestly this is a pretty good restaurant. With regret however; this review is call out to a server who in my opinion made foolish claim. The server (he has blondish long hair) told me to leave the restaurant because apparently I said something that offended someone. To my astonishment, I have no recollection of anything that would have offended anyone. I was on a short video call with my girlfriends parents. It was a cheerful and polite conversation. There is a possibility I may have said a f-word when commenting on the size of fish my father caught...anyways like I said. I have no idea.

I think the real mistake made here, is I am a next door neighbor. I come to the restaurant generally 3 days a week. I typically spend between $52-$78 every time I come. The food is outstanding, and I like to come to this restaurant to do some light computer work.

I have never been kicked out of a establishment before, let alone a quiet sit down sushi restraurant . When I asked the waiter why he was kicking me out, he said, “I trust what the other customer is claiming”. I then responded, “Im confused...what is the other customer claiming??” He said, “they said (the other customer) it was inappropriate”. Okay...Im sorry to inconvenience anybody. I quietly left the restaurant

I see him every week, and I have never had an issue with him, nor he with I. The only conclusion I can reach is, he is a child working at a very decent restaurant who jumps to conclusions. Kicking a regular customer out for hearsay is a very silly thing to do. The correct procedure would be, “sir, I heard a complaint. I hope you are enjoying your dinner, but I was wondering if you could please keep your...

So, the place is cute. Just has a really nice atmosphere and design, some nice jpop plays. Staff's friendly and attentive, always there refilling out water before we even think of needing it. It's clean, fairly quiet. It's cozy, and would be good for a date if you just liked the location.

The food is just not good here. The Spider roll was outstandingly unflavored. I ordered the unagi-don, which was tiny and disappointing. You get a few slices of unagi sleeping on a bed of rice, on a plate that is insultingly big. My brother had ordered the Loco moco, served on a wooden board that was again too large for the portion, and he hated how vaguely sick he felt after eating it. I tried a bite myself and I did not want another. The only thing we did like was the simple chicken kara-age, but we ordered that twice as it wasn't enough.

The price point is fairly normal for Japanese restaurants in the area, but for bland lunch special sized portions, it's hard to not feel ripped off. There are others in the area that are better in nearly every way within minutes drive, and you should...
