Kanji Fusion Restaurant

Ordered vegetable chow mein and general chicken tonight. The vegetable chow mein was solid with plenty of vegetables, spice, and flavor. I did not care for the general chicken at all. The texture was extremely soft and the sauce was lacking flavor. Just really hard to justify that $19 price for an entree that I really did not like.

Really cute little spot on Division. My girlfriend and I love stopping here for sushi, we can get some great rolls for a good price. I adore salmon sashimi and this spot has some of the best pieces I've had at a sushi restaurant. We've also tried some of the chicken dishes before and loved them. Great portions and a nice quiet atmosphere, great for a little night out or to get takeout.

I got delivery and super happy with the food. The eggplant garlic sauce dish was real good. If you like spicy food they have this make it hot and spicy option for fried rice that was also excellent. I didn't try any sushi but all the.food we ordered was super flavorful, fresh and reasonably priced in this economy. Wontons were good as well. I will definitely order from here again. The cucumber salad was nice as well, was pickled and crunchy.

Amazing food, it’s so simple but so fresh and that makes all the difference. Fast even during the rush hour and always have a smile on their face. Thank you!!

Great experience, we were looking for an Asian place that was fresh and tasty. The reviews were good and the prices looked good too from the Internet. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was very fresh and great flavors. I would definitely recommend. The street it is located on has many interesting restaurants and shops. Best to walk the street a few blocks before or after dinner to enjoy the local vibe.

We came here right when they opened for the day and although we were the first to dine in they had quite a few online orders already. The server was very nice and attentive. Food was AMAZING. The sushi list was pretty big and we had some of their noodle dishes. Everything was delicious and ordering two sushis, two noodle dishes, the takoyaki, and a beer to share for the 3 of us was more than plenty and we only spent about $30 each. Would come back!

I’m like a grizzly bear in that I love to eat raw salmon and lots of it. It’s tough to get lots of nigiri around here for an affordable price but this place has a salmon roll that goes a long way towards satisfying that desire. Their nigiri is amazingly high quality and the price is competitive. The staff are super kind and helpful.

Super stoked to have a solid Chinese takeout style spot so close to me. The lunch special was a great price and the portions were perfect. The food was quality. I’m a sucker for crispy beef and was super pleased with my order. Crab puffs was killer as well

We had such a great time here on Christmas Day. It was our first time visiting Kanji. We could tell the staff was feeling a little overwhelmed on this busy night but they were really doing a great job. Everyone we interacted with was really friendly and helpful. We ordered veggie egg rolls and eel, yellowtail, and kanji rolls. They were all tasty. Nothing over the top but very enjoyable. The space was cozy and welcoming on a rainy night. Would definitely recommend.

Really good food, kind of pricey for the meat entrees, but everything had really great flavor and was really fresh when I received it! Would come back for more!! The eggplant green beans were my favorite!

I agree with many other reviewers that the staff here really are very friendly and it feels genuine. We sat inside and it was a nice atmosphere. There are a couple of tables outside. I enjoyed the XLB special. The wrappers are a bit thicker than places like DTF and Dough Zone but they make them all day long all week long. The flavor was good so I would have them again. We loved the flavor and prep of the dry cook green beans and the portion was huge!! My husband gave big thumbs up for the Kung Pao Chicken and liked how they had celery in it instead of only chicken and peanuts. We will come back and try other dishes.

Great food! We got it to go but I look forward to eating there next time. Very friendly helpful staff.

Every meal has been delicious! We want to try everything on their menu (minus any sushi that has cream cheese; NOT for me). Other than that LOVE this place so much!

Wow in the quality and quantity of the poke salad and the hand roll! My dish, chow mein, was a little dry but still great. So was the plum wine

We love this restaurant and the staff who are amazing! We came a party of 7 for granddaughter's birthday. And they took amazing great care from service, ambiance, welcoming us and ensuring our dinner was the best! They are soon top of keeping things moving! Sushi rolls, crab puffs, General Taos, dry green beans, chow mein, honey walnut shrimp were the best! If you haven't tried this great place? It's a must! The best Sushi and Chinese menu is fantastic! PS: Thank You Staff members for all your hard work, and awesome smiles!!

This places tries to do too many things...they try to do every possible asian dish and all are meh. If you looking for greasy friend sesame chicken then this is your place...don't get the sushi

Got the broccoli and beef and a salmon and avocado roll delivered to work. The roll was fantastic! The beef and broccoli was just ok. Not the best I've had...wish I had pics to share, but I was hungry and at work.

Mainly a sushi review-- We ordered veggie crunchy rolls, salmon tempura roll, California roll and yellowtail roll. We were a bit disappointed in the selection, but it is a fusion restaurant. everything was decent but the yellowtail roll was inedible. The fish tasted off, and I didn't want to risk it. Would probably stick to their Chinese cuisine in the future!

We've eaten here a few times now, in the restaurant and with delivery. Both great! They have so much to offer! The service fantastic, the place is new and clean. Everything we have tried has been really good. We have had out usuals like crab puffs and hot and sour soup, Philly rolls and the like. They offer a lot of different types of rolls. Definitely recommend and we will be back for sure!

This review is an update to my original 4-star review. We have been going here 2-3 times a month. But my order last week was not good. Everything was SWIMMING in oil. My fav is the sweet and sour cabbage. I actually put the dish in a colander and RINSED it!!!! . It was still greasy, but we could eat it. We also got the cumin beef, and I didn't think I should spray water over it. I just don't understand why all the grease. It was truly disgusting. Guess we'll have to give up on good Chinese in our neighborhood.

We ordered salt pepper squid and the eel roll. The squid was really good. The dough was fried very well and had a delicate texture. Something to note though is it does not come with rice, you have to order a small bowl separately for around $3. The sushi was okay, it wasn't my favorite. There are indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, there are many paintings hung up and decorated minimalistic but elegant. The place well clean and well maintained, definitely not overwhelming. The waiters came to check on us often and refilled our waters. Overall a positive experience.

Some of the best food ever. Had a large group and ordered some things family style and sushi individually. A must stop when I'm in Portland again. Service was impeccable.

Our service was very thoughtful and attentive. Worked with my wife and explained the options and menu items. Food was awesome.

We love this place - family friendly, fresh ingredients, generous portions, good service, easy to get a table, and a variety to suit different tastes. What more could you ask for? Chinese dishes including the noodles, green beans, and Sichuan dry fried chicken are consistent and delicious, and the sushi is pretty good as well. We've been 5 times now to this neighborhood restaurant with our young children who love the food as well. Highly recommend!

Super fresh an DELICIOUS! We stopped in for a quick snack an were not disappointed! The Assorted Tempura was delicious! As was the Cucumber Salad an the Egg drop soup (so yummy with bits of tofu an corn!!) We will be back!

Food was great, service was great and even the offerings were plentiful. We really wanted Chinese food so we tried this place on Valentine's day of all days. It was full from 6:00pm to past 8:00 when we left. They also had a continuous line of people picking up to go orders. I really wanted BBQ Pork but they no longer have that. (insert a sad picture of me here). They have both Japanese food and Chinese food (each on separate menus) One dish we had was Kung Pao Chicken (a little too much celery but great flavor) which we liked a lot. The Sesame Chicken had a little kick to it with excellent flavor. The hot and sour soup was probably the best I have had in years and my wife said the Fried Veggie Spring Rolls were fantastic. We will be back and we will be sharing this place with many people!!

Really enjoyed eating here! The green beans and the sesame beef were amazing. The customer service was amazing as well! The waitress was kind and attentive!

Very clean fresh food. I've found my Asian food restaurant I've read the other reviews and I'm glad I discounted many of them. The staff is very attentive, meals served family style and it was a wonderful meal.

More 3.5 based on flavor. I will say everything tasted very fresh and high quality. Orange chicken was all white breast meat, but the breading and flavor was just good at best. Same with the chow mein. Broccoli beef was lacking flavor. Again, super quality just weak flavored. Apps were fine, nothing stood out. Tried something new, will probably stick to out regular spot.

The food is mediocre,at best. The entrees do not come with rice, despite their $17+ price tag. Upon inquiry about that, I was told "most restaurants don't include rice with their entrees"

Oh wow!! Great place, super clean and ready to go for us early birds. Got many things and all were great. Had to turn around and ordered a second helping of the Yellowtail Toro !

Never disappoints. Always consistent and delicious. Side note, but also important, they are so nice. Great service.

Resturant is well kept and clean. We were there around 11:30 on a Mon and there weren't many people inside. Service was pretty fast, which is always good. I was able to park with free street parking nearby. Menu felt pretty basic and would not recommend for "authentic" Chinese food. Szechuan chicken tasted good with its numbing spicy kick , but it was mostly batter and not chicken. For sushi, the flavors are pretty good. Was surprised by how well done the asparagus one was - not chewy as asparagus can be and very crispy on the outside. However, the eel one wasn't rolled well. It fell apart as soon as I tried to pick it up. Portions are pretty standard for the price. Personally prefer other Chinese/Japanese restaurants so probably wouldn't return again, but am happy I was able to try this new place!

Great food & service. Seared salmon bowl is so good & portion is big. Kids friendly, clean and fast.

The sushi and veggie spring rolls were pretty delicious. It was easy to pick up to go and the fish was fresh. So happy to have a spot like this in the neighborhood.

We got here just before closing and were welcomed in. We ordered takeout considering the late hour. Food came very quickly and was fantastic. So good we went Bach for lunch the next day. Sesame chicken, orange chicken and soups were beyond good.

Very good service and food. Spicy yellowtail roll was delicious and tempura nicely battered and fried.

One of the best experiences we've had since moving here!! We cannot say enough good things about Anna. Incredibly kind, patient and sweet. All the food was absolutely delicious, some of the most quality fish I've had in a while! The salmon toro melted in my mouth, and I love a place that doesn't drown their sushi in sauce. The spicy salmon roll was delicious, so was the yellowtail roll and the salmon tempura roll! We inhaled everything in less than 10 minutes. I can't wait to go back and try more of their Chinese side of things, and to get more wonderful service from Anna!!

We popped in after a day of shopping in Portland. The food looked good and we were excited to try it. We ordered the schezuan chicken and it was inedible. It was dry, no sauce and tasted liked someone dumped a line of salt in it. I've bender sent food back before. My son ordered sushi and it was very fishy and slimy. We also go the chicken and green beans. The green beans were great, but I'm not actually sure what kind of meat we were eating. It was soft like jelly and had a strange taste. The waitress hovered over us the entire meal and stared at us while we were eating and paying. This was honestly one of the worst meals I've had.

Delicious food! Huge portions! Attentive service! This place has it all! Definitely recommend. The Xiao Long Bao was amazing

This was such a great find!!! The food came out freshly prepared for us and it went beyond our expectations. Szechuan crispy tofu - excellent Sizzling black pepper beef - excellent Garlic broccoli- excellent AND very garlicky Hot and sour cabbage - excellent I will say that this food is best enjoyed hot and immediately. I can see how a take out order may not do it justice We will be back!

I've been meaning to review this place for so long! This restaurant is fantastic every time. Great prices for enormous portions. I've never been disappointed with any thing I've ordered here. The egg drop soup is amazing, the plum wine is delightful, the service is always 10/10. Hands down the best agedashi tofu I've had in Portland. The cucumber salad is always a hit and their broccoli beef is so flavorful. Yum!! Always a great lunch spot with friends.

Chinese and Sushi, where have you been. Excellent quality. Friendly staff. Free parking. Latest menu attached

Kanji popped on my radar a few times, mainly due to being ~hot and new~ since they just opened about 2 months ago, but also because they offered a selection of both Chinese and Japanese fare. I convinced my partner to try it as our to-go date night du semaine (of the week). We scoured the menu and decided on a few things: 1. Szechuan Wonton with Chili Oil (10) - because wontons with chili oil sound like fun mouth fire! 2.General Chicken (Asked for very spicy) - because I admittedly had a hankering for this Americanized dish. HA! 3. Black Pepper Beef (Asked for med spicy) - something new to try. 4. Caterpillar Roll - my covert way of getting my partner to have some sushi with me! :O The ordering went very well. She was wide-smile-thru-the-phone friendly, attentive, and gave us the exact total and estimated wait time without asking. The interior of the restaurant was clean and slightly quiet for a Saturday night, but I didn't mind! We rushed back with our food and unpacked. First up, wontons. I think the container was just overfilled with solid spices that threw me for a mouth twist initially. My tip, mix the liquid and dust off excess solids, as needed. The wontons themselves did not pack any strong flavorings but were spicy when adequately soaked in the oil. Personally, we would pass in favor of the entrees (or rolls ;) ) next time. Next, the General. The cornerstone of every wanna eat Chinese but no duck appetite (although I love :duck:). We loved this dish. It was strong on flavor and you could tell the chickens had some good living before ending up in a food rectangle. Definitely not spicy as asked. I would like to try again and ask for a spicy boost! Black. Pepper. Steak. This surprised me when I first popped the lid off the container. It was more gravy-like than I expected, but pepperrrrrrr indeed. I was peppered and medium-hot spicy like a tasty Grandma's stovetop special. And, the mushroommmmssss were delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I definitely hunted the container solely to yoink those 'shrooms... and shared when I could, of course. Highly recommend. Last but first in my heart, Caterpillar Roll. My partner doesn't do the raw fish or sushi in general thing, but this was super duper yum for both of us. The avocado on top was so smooth it melted as it hit my palate. The bbq eel inside was amazing like all eel is supposed to be. I would love to get plenty (is 17 too much?) of these next time. It is also competitively priced (read as under most competitors) so that's another ribbon in the hat, wheel on the wagon, whatever you want to say. It's YUMMMM. All in all, great place if you feel like American Chinese or some sushi rolls, or both!! PS - rice is extra :). Thanks for reading.

Five of us shared pot stickers, dry sautéed green beans, sesame beef and a fried rice dish. We all took some home! Generous portions. Very flavorful. The staff was amazing. Super nice, friendly and attentive! Definitely will go back. Plan to have sushi next time.

The man serving us was very friendly, and had excellent customer service skills. The atmosphere was very quiet, and no one else was in the restaurant at the time. They have a very big menu with "fusion" meaning they have both Chinese and sushi options. This place was not a disappointment, but it was nothing spectacular. I had the general chicken, which was not particularly healthy and I'm someone who looks for healthy food. I might give this place another shot, but with so many great restaurants in Portland, I might not either. Decide for yourself.

Not our thing. Got a fried sushi roll and instead of a thin crispy coat got mushy breading. The stir fry we got was also sort of lackluster. I want them to do well in this neighborhood but didn't taste anything that would have us come back.

Being first generation Taiwanese, I'm admittedly hard to please when it comes to finding "authentic Chinese food." Almost every Chinese restaurant in Portland has some fatal flaw in some dishes that prevents me from wanting to return or leads to a mild diatribe to my American husband who just wants to eat his orange chicken in peace without me ranting about how it's not "real Chinese." That said, when my husband picked Kanji for take out, I was less than enthused by the menu that read like an expensive Panda Express. I chose a sushi roll while my husband ordered hot and sour soup and Szechuan chicken. He definitely made the better choice. The chicken was as addictive as flaming hot Cheetos but had wonderfully seasoned crispy skin on the outside and moist chicken on the inside. The burn of the Szechuan peppers were slow and sweet. The soup was the right consistency and flavor and one of the best I've had in Portland. My sushi roll and sashimi was meh. We ordered out again a couple of weeks later and, again, it's not what I'd consider "authentic" but it sure is delicious American Chinese food!

Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Best I've had in Portland or Seattle. The restaurant also appeared clean.

AWESOME FOOD!! Went with my son and his 2 friends. We were all happy. Shared all: Crab Rangoons - real crab, cooked perfectly! Kung Pao Chicken,Orange Chicken, Sesame Beef, pepper shrimp and some and 2 sushi. My fav was the Kung Pao Chicken- perfect heat, plenty of hunk of water Chestnuts, pers and moist chicken chunks. Topped with a generous amount of peanuts ! The beef dish was A good combo of heat and sweet. The beef had a thin, very crisp breading and tossed in the sauce. Beef not tough!! Shrimp were huge and not over cooked!! Lightly breaded! Plenty of onions, and pepper. A few jalapeño slices. Really good. Orange chicken was perfectly breaded. Sauce was a bit too sweet for me- BUT it was the guy's favorite!! Sushi was good. Took most of it home- we were full! Big plates of food. Fair price! We will be going back! NOTE: they over heard us talking about William's BDay and surprised us with this "out of this world" dessert with a candle and song . A "fish" pastry filled with matcha ice cream and chocolate!! That - my folks, is attention to detail

It's damn nice to have a place nearby when I'm having a General Taos jones. The Generals chicken here hits all the right things for me. The breading is crisp, the sauce is a great thicker consistency without being a jelly, and it's got a decent kick. The crab puffs were prepared just right and the noodles had just the right scald on them. The sushi was pretty decent. I will be returning here to try out the rest of the menu when I can.

Phenomenal. Orange chicken, veg chow mein, tofu with vegetable cucumber salad. Ordered for delivery and honestly a perfect dinner. Flavors were all incredible portion sizes were awesome and arrived hot. I asked for extra sauce for my chicken and they were incredible and gave it. I love my stuff saucy and that made me so happy. I absolutely will be a returning customer. Amazing size portions and the selection of vegetables in the dishes from snow peas to broccoli to sprouts to water chestnuts. Seriously incredible food. My hats off to the chefs. Thank you for a awesome meal.

The employees were incredible, service was quick and knowledge of their menu and food was very impressive. The food was above what I was expecting. The freshness and flavor were so wonderful. We all commented almost at the same time (jinx Jinx) as we drove off how good Kanjj Fusion was that we were come up with a date to go back. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Long overdue sushi date with my favorite Goose. 11/8/21 @ Kanji Fusion - Portland, Oregon

We are so glad this place moved in! It's only been there a couple months and we've already eaten from here multiple times! Our daughter loves many of the shrimp dishes but my wife and I love the sesame beef!

I am not usually a fan of 'fusion' anything as it usually means doing more than you can be really good at which leads to average to poor results. Well, Kanji seems to have got the 'fusion' thing right. We tried their Szechuan, Cantonese, and Japanese dishes and all of them were pretty spot on. The Spicy fried chicken was really good and tasted very authentic. The chow mien was good too. The sushi was also very good. Not typical but the tastes and presentation were right all around. The service was also super friendly and the prices on their menu are reasonable. We are so happy to have this option when we crave spicy and Japanese at the same time.

This order is based on a Grubhub delivery. I loved everything. Order was well packaged, everything was correct, and nothing was cold. Everything tasted good. That said... There were no descriptions. Those would go a long, long way. The hot and sour soup gave the option of spiciness level. I selected "medium" and it was just fine. Two other items, the Szechuan Wonton with Chili Oil and the Szechuan Crispy Chicken had the spicy icon. The Crispy Chicken also gave the spicy option and we selected "medium." Both were so spicy, they were basically inedible. Because of the lack of descriptions, the Crispy Chicken dish, although good (except for too spicy) was not what we expected. I like spicy, but within reason. It's good to provide the option to pick a level, but it needs to have meaning and be properly done. Fix that and I'd probably eat here all the time.
