One standout review from Francis F highlighted the REAL CRAB MEAT in the California roll, underscoring the commitment to quality ingredients that Syun values.
But, it doesn’t stop at sushi. Syun Izakaya proudly offers an XL sashimi platter that is fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Dining here isn’t just about the food; it’s an experience that wraps you in delight, from the first bite to the last sip of your drink.

“ 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. ”
“ Syun Izakaya has been around for years. If it wasn’t 20 miles from my house, I would go more often than every few years. I went last night en route to a concert in Forest Grove. The menu was smaller than in years past, but the quality of food, service, and atmosphere are as good as ever. ”
“ This place has been in the area for a long time so I decided to try and I was satisfied. I ordered a 10 pieces of mixed nigiri sushi and they were fresh, delicious and worth the price. The ring of fire (Sushi rolls) was very good too with a nice presentation. If you passby the town in Hillsboro and cave for sushi, this place might be among the top lists too. ”
“ Came here with my family. Everything was sooooo fresh. We ordered XL sashimi platter and some rolls to share. Their California roll use REAL CRAB MEAT (Amazing if you ask me). Everything was perfect. Excellent service and food. Highly recommended ”
“ 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! :-) ”
