10 years ago I would have raved about this place. But the service just is not close to what it was. Slow service despite few tables occupied. Server hanging out and texting and absent then came by to tell us he was going on a break? Hoping management group puts effort into reviving the old culture, because this place could be awesome.

I am not even close to kidding when I say this - this is the BEST sushi I've EVER had in my life! Even just the California roll is unreal. Also random, but their steak is one of the best steaks I’ve ever had too. I’m celiac and their food is all gluten free except for the burger which I appreciate. I do wish they would do a gluten free bun though - being that everything else is gluten free, it’s a little odd to me that they don’t do gluten free buns! But I highly recommend trying this place out.

As soon as I tried the green machine I knew it was going to be the vegetarian sushi I compared all others to. So good

Americanized sushi - if you are looking for a real sushi restaurant go somewhere else - oysters(only real decent raw fish) were good though

The first time we tried this place it was a pick up order so we were very excited to finally dine in! Dexter was our server and they were amazing. The food was incredible, the vibes inside were gorgeous, and every single person working was so kind. This is my new favorite sushi spot in Portland! 10/10!!!!

The chefs choice was lackluster. I won't be back in a hurry.

Loved it! We went here on a recommendation from our Lyft driver, and we were not disappointed. My husband and I love sushi, and this was no exception. Our server was amazing - she gave us a recommendation from every section on the menu. I would absolutely go back!

If I could give them 10 starts I would! I came in with my son who is less than a year old and they were so accommodating. The food was AMAZING and their service was even better. I can't recommend this place enough.

Great food. Gourmet preparation. Delicious sake flight. Weird Ska Punk music: Less than Jake was played on continuous loop. The music ruined the whole vibe. Are they playing music for the staff or for the guests?? No artwork. I went to the Japanese Garden. Came here. Had to wear my headphones to enjoy lunch. Is that how Portland does it?? I suppose it does: Weird.

The best Miso Soup I've ever had, and the sushi was delicious - tasted fresh, and it felt like a lot of care was taken for deciding ingredients and flavours. A bit pricey, but worth it.

I had high hopes for this sushi spot, but unfortunately, it didn’t deliver. The fish tasted noticeably fishy—not the fresh, clean flavor you expect from good sushi. Some pieces were borderline questionable. Service didn’t help much either—slow, inattentive, and disorganized. Overall, a disappointing experience that I won’t be repeating anytime soon. Plenty of better options out there. I love the location in SE but most likely will never return to this location.

Dexter at the sushi bar is the best. He hooked it up! Always ask for Dexter! I will be back.

Had a great lunch here on a Saturday afternoon; food was fresh and delicious. Hana was our server and she was friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. She had good suggestions and recommendations on what to try. We had a new appetizer with spicy tuna and avocado on a crispy cracker that was amazing. I love the mural in the dining room. This place is my favorite sushi in the NW neighborhood.
