Delightful little restaurant - really happy to have stumbled across it. It'll definitely be my go to Japanese going forward!

If you love authentic Japanese food. You might find what you like. However, I think it’s overpriced. I spent $30+ for a Toshi Nabe that is supposed to come with scallop but I only find a mussel. It took a long time to cook somehow but I don’t feel I am getting what I paid for.

some may call this place a “hidden gem” (literally in a small, unassuming place in a strip mall) & I would certainly agree! this is one of my fav places in this area to get quality & delicious japanese food! being from hawaii, I feel like I’m pretty picky about where I go & this place has my japanese mother’s approval as well. if any of this means anything to you, I’d say it’s pretty well vetted lmao.
I always recommend this place to people that want good quality asian food in (and around) portland, so make sure to go check them out!!
— FOOD — their menu is EXTENSIVE & I love it!! so many options to choose from. they have a whole sushi menu, bentos, ramen, & a whole bunch of appetizers and entrees that are hard to find elsewhere! also make sure to look at their specials posted near the sushi bar!
here’s what is featured in the reel: - chirashi bowl : super fresh with so much variety & the rice was perfectly seasoned! - miso salmon special : salmon was cooked to perfection - agedashi tofu : my family’s fav appetizer treat – fried, savory goodness!
— MORE INFO — PARKING : strip mall has a big parking lot, lots of spaces. SEATING : not a ton of seats, but haven’t had trouble getting a table on a weekday. may need to make a reservation on the weekend. SERVICE : super sweet staff! AMBIANCE : the restaurant reminds me of small japanese restaurants in hawaii. super nostalgic & cozy!

Everything here tastes amazing! The sushi pieces are big and packed with fresh fish, with just the right amount of rice, definitely not overloaded. The croquettes were a standout too, super crispy on the outside and filled with smooth mashed potato patty inside. I also tried the morisoba and the gyu don, both were full of flavor and absolutely hit the spot. The don, in particular, was rich and satisfying.
Service was prompt and really friendly, and the cozy, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. It feels like a truly authentic Japanese sushi spot. One of my new favorite places, I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!

Some of the most well prepared food I've had in a looong while. Sushi/rolls/ramen are well served and are in just the right amounts.

If you value quality on any level, do not come here. Many phrases come to mind having just experienced this place. 'Scam' comes to mind. Yes, that is apt.

Lovely little restaurant. Authentic Japanese serving very good home cooked fare. Sashimi is fresh and flavourful. Miso soup hot and tasty. Salted broiled mackerel fillet was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin. I’d highly recommend this place.
ALWAYS a pleasant experience. Great service, fresh/consistent cuts, unpretentious atmosphere. Can't give them enough praise.

Very authentic Japanese food. At least for me, this is the best Japanese restaurant near this area. Highly recommended. One of my friends said he had the best ever sushi here. For me, I always try Chirasi at any Japanese Restaurant that I go, kind of the menu that I use to benchmark and compare among the Japanese restaurants that I visit. I always order Chirasi Deluxe for all of my visits so far (3-4times) and I still love it!!! Small restaurant, so not suitable for big group :)
