“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.“
“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.“
“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!!“
“My boyfriend and I have been coming here for well over a year and it is by far the best Sushi Hana! The employees are awesome and we would come here everyday if we could lol. Our favorites are their miso soup, seared salmon Vegas roll and tamago! The sushi chefs are very fast and efficient! I've also taken my friends and they loved it! It's the perfect meal for us after the gym!!! The place is always clean! Thank you Sushi Hana staff! To go is also amazing. Never been disappointed here!“
“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++“
“Life is short! Please treat yourself kindly and get a reservation to this place! I sat at the sushi bar and I really enjoyed watching the master chef skillfully prepare some exquisite food, every action was like carefully orchestrated! Not only did he have to create an edible delicacy out of chunky piece of fish, but also turn it into a piece of art, from selecting the plate, to adding all the fine details onto the fish, the subtle flavors and the harmony! And I got to watch it all happen in front of my eyes! This place is near where I live, so the situation is quite dangerous now, lol!“
“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“
“Found this spot via Instagram and it lives up to the hype. Tons of unique rolls to choose from as well as plenty of non-sushi appetizers and entreés like Udon. The sashimi and tamari (nigiri) was very fresh and delicious. We will definitely come back to try the set courses. Sake list is small but there are options for everyone, ranging from dry to sweet, and they have a good selection of Japanese wiskeys. Our server, Becca, was kind and very helpful for our first time experience. (pictured) bluefin akami, bluefin otoro, and hamachi tamari, Blazer and Salmon Twist rolls.“
“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.“
“The Hotate or Sea Scallop sushi with yuzu pepper marmalade was out this world good. We also ordered the Guac N' Roll & French Quarter Roll. Excellent flavors. We didn't even need soy sauce. The Guac N' Roll has a unique presentation and the roll was balance & on point. I will recommend Yoshi to anyone interested in sushi!“
“This might be the best poke bowl I've ever had! I opted for brown rice, salmon & scallops, ginger infused soy sauce, and jalapenos. The seasoning and sauce added to the poke bowl - it did not dominate the taste. The generous portions of salmon and scallops were very fresh. The whole bowl was very filling. Growing up on Oahu, I've had my share of poke bowls. This was definitely the best poke bowl I've had here in the Pacific Northwest and maybe even the best poke bowl I've ever had.“
“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 ?“
“The best poke in town! A must try!! I love how fresh everything is and their big selection. They give a large portion too and the service is always friendly! I also love that they are using reusable cups, spoons, bowls, but wish that they would consider reusable forks and chopsticks as well.Dietary restrictions: A great place to eat gluten-free. Make sure you tell them at the beginning!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Hands down the best dinner experience I had on my trip to Portland - and I went to Han Oak be Laangbaan so really the bar was high! Intimate but approachable setting, great service, and quality fish. Our chef was thoughtful and informative without being too overbearing, and we were able to have a nice family meal while learning about the ingredients and engaging with the experience. Would recommend and will be back! Not cheap but worth the price point.“
“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!“
“We finally decided to try this place since they recently opened to support local businesses and we are so glad we did! We did not try any of the Sushi but the noodle dishes and the beef brisket noodle soup were delicious and flavorful. Everything was very tasty and the portions were large. We will be ordering from here again for sure and we’ll try their Sushi too next time. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for tasty noodle dishes.“
“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!“
“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.“
“I got the lunch combo with two rolls with miso soup and added the cucumber salad. Food was good, staff were nice. There is bar like seating and table seating also. There are signs asking for you to remove your dishes when you are finished eating, many customers did not observe/acknowledge this. Decor is very nice, light, and colorful. Loved the fake cherry blossom tree with the tiny table and bench and the design on the bowl. Nice details“
“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!“
“We had the hotel california and the ocean bounty way. They both tasted great and each one would be more than enough for a meal for one person.I really hope enough people discover this place to keep it in business - there are a lot more rolls I want to try!“
“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“
“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.“
“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!“
“Casual little space. Excellent service. And even better that you can get Thai food and sushi!We ordered 3 different Bento Boxes and a Spider Roll. The Spider roll was incredible. So flavorful! Never had the option to have Pad See Ew in a bento box before! All of us loved it!“
“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!)“
“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.“
“We moved to the neighborhood 6 months ago and have eaten here or done takeout 4-5 times. Sushi is always fresh and delicious but the atmosphere is lacking with the bright lights and television on. We will probably have it to go in the future.“
“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.“
“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.“
“i think this is the best poke as far as value goes in the city. you get so much in a bowl for about the price you’d pay anywhere else. super fast and the fish is definitely quality. i got the northwest bowl and will gladly be back to get it again. such a good mix of ingredients!“
“I was walking toward the river and I found this place . It's a cute small street food spot and the owner is so friendly. The service doesn't take long but it works like this : you order , he makes your food , you pay and then it's the next person turn . I ordered chicken yakisoba noodle. Good portion . Good price , taste good . But it was greasy and very salty. That's the reason I gave 4 stars . I am not living in Portland. Otherwise I would go there again .“
“I would love to give this place five stars. They're are often not open during their scheduled business hours. I've been here multiple times in the last few weeks at 12:00, which is when they say they open yet they are closed. I'm sitting here right now at 12:15 and their food truck is closed.“
“Seriously the freshest and tastier sushi I found in Portland! Loved the Chirachi Bowl I got, came with salmon, tuna, white fish, shrimp, octopus, avocado and a few other stuff. Lots of rice too, good portion for the price! Can’t wait to try more things from their menu!“
“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.“
“Sushi burrito? That may not sound appealing at first (it didn’t to me) but Rollin Fresh gets it right.This is not your typical sushi place but that’s what makes it special. Instead of ordering and eating sushi piece by little piece, they put a lot of sushi together for you and wrap it so you can eat it like a burrito.This is an excellent and surprisingly good Portland find.“
“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!“
“Live right around the corner and this is our go to sushi spot! Incredible staff, so pleasant and attentive! On top of the phenomenal service they have gluten free tempura which feels like such a treat. I also highly recommend chance of rain. If you’re on Mississippi you need to stop here!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free tempera!!!“
“I had sushi and a wagyu burger, no bun! I had a Dew Drop which was heavily perfect with the finest sugar rim I’ve ever tasted! The bar tender is super friendly very knowledgeable and kind. The best location for a date night after you could enjoy the moon light and the downtown atmosphere.“
“We went here for the first time last week. We are moving into the Woodstock neighborhood and we knew we'd have to find a new sushi spot. Shoko pleasantly surprised us with the quality of the food, wide menu selection, and extremely friendly staff. I'm sure we will become regulars!“
“Partner brought me here for my birthday dinner. It was an incredible experience purely based on the fact that I have never had that quality of sushi before. We definitely paid top price for it, but if you're willing, it's worth it.Later on in the meal a group came in that was way too loud, which was unfortunate cause the restaurant had a quiet, zen like atmosphere to it prior. Even so, great spot.“
“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.“
