“Very good food. Lots of flavors. Portion were descend size. The only complaint I would have and that have also everywhere I eat is the price$$$. I felt I can't afford to eat there as much as I would like because I can't afford to the lunch prices.“
“An authentic hidden gem in Lake Oswego! Identical to what one might experience in Japan. Quaint place, spectacular sushi, rolls, and seaweed salad options. Would highly recommend this restaurant and establishment. As one who lived in Tokyo, this place is the real deal. We went here for a small birthday party, 4 people, ordered specialty rolls, sushi, and salads. Impeccable quality and atmosphere.“
“Couldn’t help but see a misinformed review-reply from management 2 months ago.Do not say the fish does not have additives or added color. That is false information. I don’t care about your MSC-certification. Be clear and be honest about your sushi.It is a farmed fish. It has added color. For example, more than any other fish on the menu, its the almighty “King Salmon.” Color added through the food pellets they consume in water-pens. Period. Look it up yourself folks. That beautiful color isn’t so natural. Neither is that fat content.You should really consider where you eat with misinformation floating around like this…Ps: You’re probably just doing your job, but this this is not OK as a customer.“
“STANDARD SUSHINothing too fantastic about this spot, but worth giving a 5 star review. They get their fish from the same sushi supplier *most of the sushi bars get their fish from. If you want fish flown in from Japan overnight, you will need to check out the place in Sellwood or downtown Portland that ARE something special.But I digress…This place’s prices used to be high, but now they are just average and reasonable with the rest of the local spots increasing their prices dramatically over the last 3 years. I love their take on age dashi tofu and their real crab sunomono salad is the best in town. Their sushi is serviceable and I will get the creamy scallop roll or other creation on occasion.“
“High quality food! Freshest sushi in the area. The staff is super warm, welcoming, and accommodating. Favorite sushi restaurant by far!Dietary restrictions: I have a dairy allergy and they were super knowledgeable about which dishes were available for me“
“I am so impressed with the freshness of the fish! However, it doesn’t end there! Food and service go hand in hand. They do it all perfectly!! I either have sushi delivered or dine in almost weekly. They great me like an old friend, chef’s included!! Thank you to all who work there!!“
“Just had one of the best experiences of my life at Lilia. Do yourself a favor and do NOT miss the tasting menu, which rotates weekly. It was an incredible value, and more importantly there was not one single disappointing dish in the 8-course lineup. Some stand outs were the amberjack crudo in aguachile: the fish was incredible and cut so pretty, and the aguachile was just the brightest and tastiest i’ve ever had. The quesadilla with huitlacoche, sprouting broccoli and marinated radish: never having tried huitlacoche I was shocked at how decadent and rich it tasted… every flavor in the dish worked like magic with the others. The pork collar: as soon as I touched a piece of the pork collar confit it fell apart under my fork, cooked to perfection. Like the carnitas of your dreams. And the chocolate & salted hazelnut tart with kumquats: probably the most interesting combinations of flavors and textures in any dessert I’ve tried… the kind of experience that’s just delightful every time you take another bite. Every dish was just a surprising explosion of flavors and beauty. This is exciting food. Absolutely no letdowns with the service (every staff member was enthusiastic and knowledgeable) and the ambience as well, but the food is truly mind-blowing.Vegetarian options: Every ingredient is treated like the star in these dishes, which means the vegetarian dishes were a burst of flavor, spice and texture. I had the roasted fennel with fennel harissa and the white asparagus with salsa pipián, pickled rhubarb and morel mushrooms and both were just excellent.“
“The food was amazing. Yes the price is a little higher than other places but the quality is the best. I have yet to find a sushi restaurant that serves it as good as here and it's not even close. The service was top notch as well. I will be coming back here and recommending it to others as well. A++“
“So glad I was able to try out this place. This place definitely lives up to its reviews. The packaging is so efficient and so cute. You get a cute carry out bag that is reusable, and it fits so much. I also loved that the utensil packaging came with a floss pick to make sure you don't have seaweed stuck in your teeth! Onto the food... I ordered the unagi don because I love unagi, and this bowl did not disappoint. I ended up adding some sliced cucumbers that I had in my fridge. The unagi is a generous portion and is quite flavorful. Because we did do carry out, the rice did get a little clumpy in texture. I would still get it again though My husband got the salmon don with extra fish (2oz). I think the extra 2oz is a necessary amount of fish, which can make the bowl a little spend but the fish quality was good. Overall I would come back again and try some of the other dons and poke bowls, but the unagi don may still be my go to... Definitely check this place out if you're in th“
“Best sushi in Portland hands down. Fish quality and selection is always 10/10. Chefs are the real deal and are so fun to watch (highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar).Dietary restrictions: They always ask you as soon as you walk in whether you have any restrictions.“
“ADORABLE place, and the food itself is great - can recommend the Katsu and poke bowls, definitely a cut above the (also good!) subway-style poke places that are more common. Only been 3 times around lunchtime — two pickup and one sit down — and it’s always been quick.Vegetarian options: Typical stuff for poke place - fresh veggies and tofu w/riceKid-friendliness: Very cute vibe, soft instrumental music, smallish place tho.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, no stairs.“
“Loved the little food cart and the overall atmosphere in the food cart pod. The Scotch Egg Sando sandwich looked impressive but ultimately the deep fried egg did not deliver on flavor (or texture). The bread was also very plain and didn't taste like shokupan.Overall, we loved the concept and menu and would come again to try a more traditional sando!“
“I've always loved the food here and have gotten it often at the peoples co op market. for years the food has been full of heart and vibrancy and absolute care and , well , love. I ordered yesterday and all new things to try arrived to my home that each felt like hugs inside . so delicious and so beautiful. im so glad you all exist. this is true nourishment . thank you !“
“Ramen Ryoma in Portland, Oregon, is a haven for ramen enthusiasts and Japanese cuisine lovers alike. Their ramen is a flavorful delight, boasting rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles that satisfy even the most discerning palates. The addition of takoyaki and karaage adds a delightful twist to the dining experience, showcasing the chef's expertise in crafting authentic Japanese dishes. Conveniently located, Ramen Ryoma invites diners to indulge in a culinary journey without straying far from the city center. The friendly staff enhances the overall experience, ensuring each visit is met with warmth and hospitality, making it a must-visit destination for foodies in Portland.“
“Highly recommend the food. The service staff seem to be evolving and not particularly well trained. Our server was ten days old. Part of the order forgotten. But, when asked about items on the menu, “I really don't know” was the standard answer. But you can trust this, everything was so fresh and yummy.“
“Had a lovely early dinner here before a show at Moda on a Thursday. Service was prompt, extremely knowledgeable, and everyone was so kind and helpful. I have the palate of a five year old child so I stuck to the basics but the others in my party had much more elaborate selections that they loved! All around delicious and fresh dishes, plus you can balance out your meal with some donuts, right next door ?“
“This place is great- it’s fresh, it’s fair priced, it’s healthy, it has 4 options menu what makes it better because food is prepared daily like the ones at home. The chef is such a friendly, polite and honest person that makes you feel welcome. Also it’s local and we support small family businesses.Vegetarian options: I ordered the kale with vegetables and I really enjoyed it! Highly recommended!“
“Small, cute little shop! Nice selection of drinks and Onigiri, my kids loved them. The only thing I didn’t really like was that each Onigiri was wrapped in plastic wrap and kept warm like that; I think it would be better to wrap in food safe paper and foil so the possibility of plastic particles getting into the food is lessened.“
“I am convinced that Portland is experiencing a sushi renaissance, and Koya Sushi is a shining example of this culinary revival. Regarding fish quality, I'd place it in the top 5 (at least) in the Portland metro.On both my visits so far, service was outstanding, the fish was exceptionally fresh and well-prepared, and the overall dining experience fantastic. You definitely won't find better Ikura or Takoyaki around here, that's for sure.Any sushi enthusiast should consider it a must to visit Koya.“
“I love this place. I kept telling myself for years to go there every time I was at Uwajimaya, and never got around to it. Now I'm kicking myself for having not gone sooner. The service is awesome, the ramen is delicious and I can get in and out on time for my hour long lunch and have time to spare.Parking: Shares the parking lot with Uwajimaya.Kid-friendliness: They have booster seats and high chairs!Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp outside and they have tall and shorter tables for a variety of seating.“
“SERIOUSLY so impressed. Came in today and let the kind gentleman to surprise us. We also ordered the uni lovers bowl. Total for us was $198 but the sushi was definitely some of the best and most fresh we had. We will be back. Price reflects quality. We are SO happy to finally try this restaurant.“
“This place is literally everything. The best sushi in town, for sure. But more than that, every time we walk in, Alex makes us feel warm and welcome. We have had an amazing experience every time we walk in that door. We've always loved Bamboo, but since Alex joined the team at this location, it's like walking into a warm hug. The staff is attentive, smiling, and helpful. The food is OUTSTANDING. As a chef from NYC, it's the best sushi I've ever had outside of the city (and probably even better!) Alex goes above and beyond to make her guests and her staff feel comfortable and happy. Only 5 stars because I can't give it 6. Eat here or you will regret it.“
“Inviting ambiance. Polite servers. Amazing food. Easy parking lot parking. I stopped by at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon and it was surprisingly busy. I was quickly seated and ordered the Sake Aisuru Don and edamame. The Sake Aisuru Don (salmon sashimi, salmon belly, and minced salmon over rice) was extremely fresh. The meats were so refreshing and filling. The soft and silky salmon meats made my tastebuds sing. The edamame was portioned well and the light salt was nice. I'm pleased to have had an experience that makes me want to return!“
“Okay... I mean, teriyaki is teriyaki right? Wrong. Their chicken and beef were tender and juicy, the dressing for the salad was creamy and not overly sweet. The meat was seasoned so well that I didn't even reach for any of the sauces conveniently placed on the table. The guy working the front was very nice and everything was really delicious.Vegetarian options: Per usual, there are tofu options. I did hear someone sub out their rice for broccoli so there are options and some flexibility.Parking: Depending on when you're here, it's a small parking lot shared with a number of other business. It can be a bit of a challenge to get a spot. Usually only a small wait for something to open up though.“
“Delicious, convenient and affordable. We came here because the sushi restaurant down the way required reservations even though the restaurant was empty. I am glad we found Umami because it was so good. All of the rolls we tried were great, Spicy tuna, dragon, double, salmon. The service was also excellent. He warned us that the proportions were large and we ignored him and ordered too much. If he tells you you've ordered a lot, listen! The atmosphere was also very nice especially with the nice weather out. Would recommend!!“
“The owners are very hospitable and kind. The food always tastes fresh and delicious. The serving amount is insane, two young kids can share a plate of chicken teriyaki.I went tonight with my two kids and parents, sat in front of the TV on the wall. As we are sitting down, the owner comes by and without a word, puts on cartoons for the kids to watch while we wait on the food (which came fairly quickly). The service was top notch, especially when the owner knew we were about finished and he dropped off to go containers and lollipops for the kids. It was a hit. Also, after leaving, more people flooded the restaurant. It was near capacity. This place does not disappoint.“
“Love love love EVERYTHING about Sushi Mazi. Food, absolutely delicious! My most favorites are classic aged ahi tuna, blue fin tuna top with black garlic, salmon skin appetizer and sushi salad. Will be able to stop in Portland without coming here. I understand why they have so many regulars, the staffs and owners are so warm and wonderful. Recommend trying their wide range of sake. Cheers!“
“I have read good and bad reviews and was leery of going to this restaurant. However, what a great experience!! The food was beyond great, it was fantastic. Service was exemplary. Sonia was our server and was wonderful. The minuses were the music was too loud and I didn't appreciate the servers cleaning the table while we still eating and talking but overall a very great experience. Costly but worth every cent.“
“Anyone can seemingly make sushi seem better by making it more complex, but the real test is whether they can take the simple and make it excellent. Sushi-Ki-ichi does just that. They stick to the simple offerings, leading to an experience that feels less Americanized than other Japanese restaurants. That's not to say I don't love some level of creativity, but you don't need it here. That's because the family that owns Sushi Ki-ichi wants to create an authentic meal - a notion that was confirmed for sure when we had a conversation with the owner. In fact, they take quality to the next level with their equipment and efforts they take to make sure that what they serve is the highest quality, including specific freezers for the fish. We didn't try Sushi Ki-ichi for the first couple of years because we figured that the previous restaurant, a Chinese buffet that had gone downhill and fallen off the cliff, had rebranded and reopened as something new. Now I feel that for those first couple of years, we missed out. This has quickly become my favorite place in Portland. I look forward to any trips I take across town from Vancouver to Tigard, and make a point to stop in and grab a bite.“
“stopped by for late lunch and tried their bento based on the great reviews (lunch pricing ends at 3pm). the food was super fresh and yummy! ordering is via QR code on the tables. the server was kind and checked on us. sashimi and sushi were fresh. the spicy chicken serving was probably twice the size of what i usually get in a bento. i ended up bringing most of the chicken & rice home and had them for dinner. this meal fed me all day!“
“Clean, cute sushi shop with friendly service and interesting sushi rolls. Rolls are large and portions are generous, though a bit heavy on the rice. Seating available for dine in, though we saw many customers ordering take out. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would consider coming again!“
“Some of crazy good sushi. Excellent salads and sashimi. Really clean and simple menu. Nice and helpful staff, even when they are busy and limited on space. It's more of a date spot than a family spot ( only because space is limited). They are worth the wait if busy. I can't wait to go back.“
“Super stoked to have a solid Chinese takeout style spot so close to me. The lunch special was a great price and the portions were perfect. The food was quality. I’m a sucker for crispy beef and was super pleased with my order.Crab puffs was killer as well“
“Nice sushi experience. I am a sushi lover but this place offered new flavors and textures that I have never had. I tried the green machine as many people posted pictures so it seemed popular and I had to try. It was a bit sweet for me but still interesting and good. The big island was really good, very unique flavors. I have never had a sushi roll with chrunchy peppers. Spicy edamame was spicy! Good but spicy so if you are a bit wimpy don't get it. I will be back to try new rolls!“
“The guy behind the counter forgot to pack my rice in the to-go bag the other day and ran out into the parking to flag me down to give it to me. I feel like a lot of places today wouldn’t even bother.The service is great and the food is quite good. I’ve never had a bad experience from this restaurant.“
“The food is excellent and the staff is very nice! Also, they fulfill as ordered. A very welcome addition to the neighborhood! (PS - I want to add we've actually gotten food four times here so far, consistently a pleasure as stated, so not just a one-time thing!)“
“The service and attention are excellent, the food is prepared with fresh ingredients and the portions are generous, the price is perfect and the place is extremely clean and I mention it because some establishments do not take care of the cleanliness of the place, the best in the area .“
“Everything. This is not just going to dinner. This is a dining experience. It’s a small reserved venue. Yes it’s spendy, but worth every penny. You’ll try food you never thought you try. The mostly seafood menu it so well prepared. Plus you can watch the prepared each course. A fun night.“
“Go here for an authentic old school Japanese sushi house experience! Ingredients are top notch. With specials featuring the best of the catch. I look forward to going back with a large group. And straying a bit further off of the standard items.“
“I have been going to sambi sushi since 2014 and let me be the first to tel you that The food is absolutely amazing every time. But what’s even better than the food is the amazing friendly staff that makes you feel at home. Their hospitality is out of this world. Best sushi I’ve ever had and they big tempura shrimp and veggie plate is to die for . Definitely recommend if your in the mood for some real sushi.“
“We have enjoyed Yoko's sushi for almost 20 years. The fish is always fresh, and the combinations are delicious. We love Taka's Tuna, Hamachi nigiri, Thai roll and Samon nigiri. I recommend arriving early, sitting at the sushi bar and watching Yoko work. Try some of the affordable sakes available. We've enjoyed every one we tried.“
“My recent visit to the Portland Food Hall for a quick dinner amidst my busy conference schedule was a delightful experience. This gem of a spot boasts a diverse array of culinary options catering to various tastes, which truly impressed me. Despite my visit coinciding with the peak dinner rush, the vibrant atmosphere was matched by the efficient service that seemed to flow seamlessly throughout the venue.The standout for me was the ramen – each spoonful was a revelation, with a rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles that provided a comforting and satisfying meal. It was an absolutely delicious and hearty dish that served as a highlight of my dining experience. The Portland Food Hall is a must-visit for anyone looking for a quality dining experience with the convenience of multiple cuisines under one roof. Whether you're pressed for time or looking to savor a leisurely meal, this place caters to all with its exceptional offerings.“
“Some of the best bang for buck food in the area. Portions are generous. I can barely finish the chicken and rice even when very hungry. Guy working at the front is very kind and enthusiastic and always greets me with a smile.If you need something to fill you up from empty and don’t feel like spending $15+, this is the go to.“
“Tucked into the food cartel in Beaverton, this spot stood out from the SMELL. I had the Garlic Chicken, a special of the day, and my mouth was watering even before I took a bite. The dish was well made, full of garlicky, sweet, and salty flavors. I'm giving it 4 stars because I thought it was a tad bit too salty, to a point that it was almost bitter. Another qualm is that I wish there were combination plates available :( but I do understand why they don't allow combination plates.“
“Great food, great prices, large portion sizes, and best of all the owners are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I've been eating here going on 7 years, I always get the chicken and pork teriyaki and it's amazing everytime!“
“Just finished ished another meal here and it was great again. Food, service, and atmosphere is wonderful. Music playing in the background isn't too loud. Fish is really fresh and rice to fish ratio is on point. Love the staff, they are really attentive.“
“Such a great experience! Delicious food served with enthusiasm. I love it when the people who work at a place are excited about what they do! The gentleman who helped us made great suggestions and we ended up with an assortment of rolls that were just delightful. Definitely would recommend!“
“Ordered the chicken sandwich and potato salad. Both were surprisingly complex and delicious. Guy at the window was friendly. The only seating here was benches outside so we took it to go since it was cold. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu! Everyone in my group loved it.“
“This place is a real hidden gem here in West Linn. I’m really enjoyed coming here. The food is freaking awesome. And the yakisoba is pretty amazing. I also really like the chicken teriyaki. The people who run the shop I really nice. it’s always super clean and a really good value.“
“We took our order to go, but the atmosphere was pleasant while we waited. The service and folks working was just fantastic. Really good kind people. The food was good, don’t get me wrong. It’s just not so good that I’ll go out of my way to get it again.“
