Have gotten take out here several times and this place does not miss. The fish quality is excellent and they have such an extensive menu that there is something for everyone. The prices are also reasonable which is so refreshing. The staff is always super helpful when we order and have even helped load a big order into the car. Excellent addition to the Portland food scene!

Ordered delivery and every dish was delicious! The fried rice and sushi is fresh and full of flavor, the kimchi is perfectly spicy, the avocado salad was a nice mix of greens small tomatoes and large fresh avocado slices. I can’t wait to try the ramen! Prices were very reasonable considering the location and rates of competition.

Stopped here on a whim while passing through on way home to the northern parts of the state. We are always seeking something fresh and delicious when we go beyond our rural hometown so this just made our day today!
The dumpling soup was so delicious! The broth was perfectly balanced (slightly sweet and slightly salty) and they didn’t skimp on the dumplings, but also fresh veggies too! We also had the gyoza which were delicious and a few sushi rolls; beautifully presented.
Also, our 8 year old son LOVED All of it!!

So glad we have a Portland outpost of this great spot (longtime Brunswick location). Food is delicious and the service is top notch. For classic sushi, you cannot do better.

This was an an absolute gem of a find. The quality of ingredients was top-notch, everything from the protein to the veggies. Our beverages were refreshingly special and varied, and extremely tasty, as well. And last but not least, the service was above and beyond. Location was easy to find and super clean. We highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience. The host / server was extremely kind and accommodating since we had our small child with us and put us in a nice quiet area with room for our stroller. The food was delicious and artfully presented. Beautiful decor and a wonderfully peaceful way to end our day in Portland. Would 100% recommend and we will certainly be back.

The sushi here was excellent, and really reasonably priced. A lot of places in the area felt like tourist traps, but this place seemed much less so. The outdoor seating was really pleasant, and the service was great.
There’s a decent sake selection.
The bathrooms weren’t super clean, but I’m willing to overlook that because everything else was great.

Sushi was great. I had the supreme roll, with all spicy tuna.
We went again last week and I had a make your own poke. It was wonderful. You get to choose all the things you like. Great choice!

My husband and I have been coming to Portland every year for our anniversary for 13 years. Last year, this place was under construction and we wanted to come. Today, we tried three dishes and let me tell you, we loved them. It's a 10/10.

I recently visited this Japanese restaurant with high hopes, and while the food itself was quite enjoyable — fresh sushi, flavorful ramen, and nicely presented dishes — the overall experience was let down by the service.
The biggest surprise? Our food arrived before the drinks, which is something I’ve rarely seen in any dining setting. It took multiple reminders to get our beverages, and the staff seemed disorganized and inattentive throughout the evening.
If you’re going just for the food, it might be worth a try. But if good service is important to you, be prepared to lower your expectations.
