Been going here for over 30 years! Always a sweet place in my heart for Syun. They have a wonderful staff and a quaint atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for a delicious Japanese meal or a sushi Delight, I highly recommend you check this place out. They are small, but they take reservations and they have a room you can use with long tables for group dining or a birthday celebration. I went to celebrate my birthday with two dear and close friends and had a wonderful meal! Great variety, excellent specialties and even better service! Highly recommend checking out their great selection of Sake’s and specialty cocktails, their rolls are awesome and very pretty! Made me want to eat more than I could have. Haha! Thank you for Reading and Happy Dining! :-)

Husband and I were visiting from Salem, in the area to buy a car. Decided last min to eat here and we're happy we did! It's in the basement of a charming building, and the atmosphere was perfect and relaxing. Seems you can enter from two different doors/sides of building. Service was friendly, professional and quick. Food waa delicious. Would definitely go back for a nice date.

Perfect day to sit outside under the trees, and enjoy the view. Our server was amazing! He never let our tea get cold or left us for longer than we wanted. The food was amazing and beautifully prepared.

This is a gem. The last time I was here was more than 10 years ago, but the place is essentially the same. Probably the best Izakaya that I have been to in America. Don't mean anything derogatory to Hillsboro downtown, which is up and coming with lots of new constructions going on and new chic restaurants and shops, I'm surprised that this place is not in downtown Portland. Didn't have any alcoholic beverages, but I am certain one would find his or her favorite here. Selections are voluminous.

Haven’t dined here in a long time and so glad we made the drive to Hillsboro. Still the same great service and food as we remembered and the welcoming atmosphere always makes for a pleasant dining experience. This place can get busy on the weekends, so it may be best to call ahead. And as always, don’t forget to support small business!Service ✅Food✅Atmosphere✅ Mahalo Syun Izakaya! 🤙🏽
