Wonderful experience! Incredible food, great chef. Can't wait to go back.

Had no clue what we were walking into, but this omakase sushi spot was awesome...definitely, would wander in all over again. The food was awesome, the staff was friendly, and the pacing was on point. It felt like an 'experience.' The fish? So fresh and flavorful Iâm still thinking about it. Overall, it was an adventure Iâd gladly repeat.

The best Omakase in Portland. The amazing sashimi and nigiri with extremely fresh fishes and seafood definitely surprised me!

High-end sushi with excellent quality and a personal touch. It's very expensive, but that makes sense. Everything we ate was delicious. The Taisho was friendly, professional, and explained each dish in detail. Not a place for everyday meals, but perfect for a special, intimate experience.

If you are looking for a genuine premium sushi experience in Portland, I would highly recommend Nodoguro or Murata over this place.

Horribly infuriating experience. Charged $190 cancellation fee even though we showed up. We were going to go there to celebrate a birthday and took an Uber from outside the city to get there.
At first the host said the other parties would have to wait for us to start at the same time, then once we arrived he said they wouldnât be able to squeeze us in because the chefs wonât be able to start over and cut the fish for the us (implying that the other parties started on time). We acknowledged that we were late, and asked for an alternative if theyâd be able to start us at whichever course the other parties were at but, even then, he refused to do so and said that wasnât the issue.
We were clearly on the way and communicated that beforehand. If the issue was that the chef cuts all the fish required for the courses all at once in the beginning, why wouldnât they portion it for us?
Iâve been to multiple other omakase spots in NYC where there were other parties who were even more than 20 minutes late and they were seated such as at Sushi by Bou and Thirteen Water. Sushi by Bou started everyone at the same time and simply prepared the pieces for the person who was late until they arrived.
Unexpected circumstances happen but the way that the restaurant handled it lacked empathy. It seems the host misjudged his position and the âprestigeâ of the restaurant

Best sushi / omakase experience I've found after trying a few up here and in the california bay area. Excellent service, cozy atmosphere, delicious food (even the cuts I usually don't like). Well worth the price. Good for a date night.

Have been twice. Both times the fish was fantastic.
Nimblefish is amazing. I brought son here. He is a dynamite roll guy so trying an omakase was a risk. He ate every bite. Everything was amazing. Call outs were the smoked mackerel, salt water eel, waygu, sardine and skip jack tuna. It is pricey but so good to treat yourself. Worth the omakase and premium flight price.

Had a wonderful omakase experience at Nimblefish! Every piece of nigiri was delicious and fresh! As a Canadian, I hope to be back in the future.

Nimblefish is exactly what you think it is! Top quality all around. If you're looking for a great experience and top notch service, this is the place to go. I tried fish that I had never had before and it was exquisite! My only knock is the price doesn't quite align with the full experience.

Nimblefish is definitely a unique experience! Thereâs very limited seating, so make sure you have a reservation ready. If youâve never had omakase, this was a great place to explore. The chef introduced each piece to us and told us where it was from, which was neat. Youâll be asked if youâd like to order al a carte after your set menu; I found that it was a bit limited in offerings and didnât include all items that were in the set meals, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a fun experience!
Kid-friendliness: If you have a child who is interested in sushi and is adventurous in their eating, this could be fun. Would not recommend for picky eaters.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs may have trouble making it into the building. There is no designated seating (bar seating) for wheelchairs.

I went here with three sophisticated ladies. That really has nothing to do with the restaurant, but it gives you a sense of who is dining that night. The food is delicious. The sushi chefs are incredible. This is a place that everybody should go to, I truly have no feedback.
OK, I wish they wouldâve asked me âdo you like Uniâ because I donât really like Uni, but even the Uni piece was delicious .
Wonderful experience! Incredible food, great chef. Can't wait to go back.
