New review: It devastates me to have to retract most of my review… All of our favourite rolls went up heavily in price. The California Rolls alone went up by $4.50. Since this is upsetting and we’re no longer going to eat here anyways, I can say the staff lacks personality. No smiles, not very welcoming, the sushi is still good (at least I hope…), but absolutely not worth the price anymore.
Original review: Our favourite sushi place by far! Perfect size rolls, great taste, great price for good ingredients. I love that they use real crab, and you can see them making the sushi at register area!

We had a late lunch around 2pm here on a Saturday after fishing near Hagg lake. We had a party of 9 and had a party room available that could fit us all together at one table. We appreciated being able to be seated together. They do charge a tip/service charge of 18% to use the room. We tried the chicken teriyaki don, katsu don, beef don, and salmon teriyaki don,oyakodon, as well as a salmon avocado roll. Everything was presented nicely and tasty. The dons included a small dish of soy based green beans. The one drawback was the kitchen was a little on the slow side, perhaps due to the time (2pm) we were being served.

Great price! Delicious food! Great staff! Nicely decorated too. We had the mango sushi roll, one of the noodle dishes and the unagi rice bowl. It was filling!

We have been wanting to come here for a while and decided to give it a shot. The food was pretty good, and the service was decent. We felt the Donburri was a little disproportionate, there was a lot of rice and not so much of the protein. However, we were very pleased by how tasty everything was. It took a little while for the food to come to the table, but not so long that we felt forgotten about. It was a bit expensive considering it wasn’t significantly different than most sushi restaurants. All in all it was a good experience, and we’ll definitely be back.

We came here for sushi during the 4A basketball tournament in 2023. The restaurant is quiet and nicely decorated.
The sushi was fresh and had good presentation. I appreciated the edamame as a complimentary appetizer.

I loved this place, the good was great, and portion sizes were plenty big for the price of going out these days it was a great deal. Got the Unagi don and absolutely full of flavor. Service was quick and responsive, everyone was clean and very nice. Highly recommend.

easily the best sushi in Forest Grove! Not only that, they have a wide variety of other Japanese faire. The katsu curry is next level!
Out of the gate, the food and atmosphere made this place our goto family night out location… and they are super accommodating… we brought the family in shortly after one of our kids came back from oral surgery, and he was still having trouble opening his mouth wide enough for a whole piece of sushi, and the chef cut everything bite size for them!! ❤️
its the little things like that… that will keep us coming back to Sawa for years to come.

We arrived before the dinner rush around 4p and watched the place fill up. The service was excellent and friendly. The food was very tasty. We sampled the HH menu and a bowl of tempura udon with an extra side of tempura.
Everything was delicious. The poke was very flavorful without being fishy or too heavily dressed. The rolls were nice, though I typically prefer nigiri/sashimi. Points for real crab & no Krab
The udon was perfectly chewy with a light broth.
I can’t wait to go back!
Edit: less than a week later, we’re back with friends. Unfortunately, the service was severely lacking from our first visit & server.
The food was still excellent but I’m glad I didn’t receive this service the first time–i doubt I would have returned.
The Salmon (sashimi) donburi was very good. I’m picky about my salmon and it was perfect. The rice, however, was the star of the meal. They made the most perfect and delicious sushi rice I’ve had in years. It was sooooo good.

Some of the best rice I’ve had at any sushi restaurant in Portland area. Well seasoned! Fish was tender and delicious. I love that they make donburi. If they only had salmon roe!
