This place offers authentic and traditional Japanese food made with fresh ingredients and great quality. The place is a relatively casual setting and the price is very affordable too. It's such a no-nonsense food place that it's almost my default place for dinner meetings. I usually get Deluxe Ichidai Dinner, Ichidai Dinner A, or Ichidai Dinner B from their menu.

Burgerville is an Oregon/PNW fast casual restaurant chain. Its significant differentiation is in its use of local ingredients and natural ingredients, such as Tillamook Cheddar in its burgers, and locally grown strawberries in its milkshakes and sundaes. Throughout the year it offers seasonal items such as milkshakes made with hazelnuts, fresh pumpkins, fresh raspberries, fresh strawberries, and blackberries, and side orders such as Walla Walla onion rings, sweet potato fries, tempura-style fried asparagus and Yukon Gold potatoes.

Consider bringing a pair of clean slippers for indoor use.
