“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful dinner on 2-15. We sat at the end of the sushi bar- it was a little tight when it got busy, but it’s definitely the best sushi place we’ve been to. Our server Chad was awesome and made us feel very welcome. I told a few friends and decided to write a review“

“Been talking about Bar Futo for a year now ever since their pop up at the amazing Koji Club in Boston. Here’s how it went. Get one of everything. Drink a bottle of sake. Chat with amazing staff. Order more yakitori. Have some beers. Order a crazy dessert. Buy the kitchen some shots. And listen to the story of the amazing chef and owner on what it takes to open and run the best new restaurant in New England. I said it. Sorry Boston but gonna have to step it up notch. Can’t wait to come back!“

“One of the best dining experiences in Portland highly recommend“

“Fantastic ramen and poke bowls.“

“If you are looking for some of Portland's most amazing foods come here. Today I had their special which was a softshell crab dish that was out of this world. I have never had the same thing twice at MaMi because all of the dishes look and smell and taste so amazing I want to try them all. It's truly an experience.“

“Great food, atmosphere and staff. Will definitely be back!“

“Food was really amazing, as a sushi lovers it was up to my expectations. Keep rocking 🍱🥢🍣“

“The salmon bento was the best.“

“Overall: 4.5/5
I ordered teriyaki chicken with white rice and it was cooked perfectly. Chicken was very tender and still warm when delivered. Rice was cooked well, not mushy and not dry. They gave me a good portion with a decent amount of stir fried veggies. The seasoning and sauce wouldn't blow you away but it is still pretty darn good!“

“Delicious very fresh sushi and a Ramen to boot! Very delicious.“

“The Crab Rangoon is amazing!!“

“We were in the area on vacation and decided to give this place a try since we love sushi. For the cost it was a utter disappointment. For $8 you get a chewy Alaska roll for ants with avocado that looks like it was sitting around for a week. When we ordered in person they told us 20 min. We came back after 20 min and they seemed to have forgotten who I was and asked me how they could help me. They then told me 10 more min so I left and came back after 10 min. Once again they forgot who I was, and after I reminded them they told me 5 more min. I then left and came back after 7 min. At least they remembered me that time because they quickly rushed to finish my order. Unless if you want to feel like a different person each time you have to come back to remind them about your order and you want to go to bed hungry, then I would suggest not going here. PS the sushi was bland and just not done well.“

“The atmosphere is great in the hibachi area. There are tons of tables and a lot of chefs so you do not wait long for them to start at your table. The tables are smaller too which fit just our family making it a nice experience for our group. The chef made the night even better with his cooking skills and jokes. The food was great!! I wish I could remember his name Victor maybe? His catch phrase was “thank you for laughing” after most of the jokes which made it even funnier. Enjoyable night with our family!!“

“The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lovely quiet ambiance. The service was impressively fast, and the food was absolutely fantastic! Having enjoyed a fair share of Japanese cuisine, I can confidently say this was truly exceptional. The strawberry mochi was a standout for me, and with such great quality at a reasonable price, it’s hard to go wrong.“

“Food was good. Only issue was the young lady who worked the front. Zero professionalism. Never greeted me nor even looked at me. Just did her thing and yelled stuff at me about signing a piece of paper, disappeared and then five minutes later showed up with the food. At least acknowledge the customers... "Hello. How may I assist you?" I mean, say anything; that's customer service.“

“My boyfriend got the fried rice with beef, and I got the one with chicken - both were amazing! The cheesecake is out of this world - the best I’ve tried in Portland! The staff was also very nice and attentive. Genuinely liked this place and will definitely be coming back!“
