The dinner was absolutely incredible. We ate for maybe 3 hours and I was never hungry and never full. Everyone was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, and the food was so so delicious!

The artistry, expertise and vision and execution of each dish was extraordinary. If you love to experience the cuisine of masters of their field then Nodoguro is a must. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to dine here twice. Simply amazing and a must for foodies.

I’ve been taking friends, family, and coworkers to Nodoguro since their 2014 popups. I’ve had at least 12 dinners over time which has never felt old. Ryan and Elena are amazing hosts and continue to make their environment very welcoming, fun, at times educational, and they always give such a delightful presentation to each amazingly tasty course. Whether you live in the Portland area or just visiting, don’t miss out on Nodoguro.

Amazed at every moment, with every dish and most dramatically, how incredibly welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and amazing the team was. Thank you for an amazing evening!

I’m came here right my wife for our wedding anniversary - and it was money well spent. The moment you walk it, you can tell you’re in for a flawless experience. Every dish not only was amazing, but had a story. I can not rave enough about the food, service, and how this was possibly the best dinner I’ve had in my life.
Bonus points if you decide on the sake paring! Well worth it.

Worth every dollar.

We’ve never been to a place that is as calm, welcoming and friendly as Nodoguro. Every course felt thoughtful and intentional. The flavors were so so good, some being mind blowingly good. We enjoyed every single course that came out and loved everyone there. Money well spent for a team that really takes care of their customers

10/10 wouldn’t go. They employ Brendan O’Connor. He’s posting all over how he wishes the bullet didn’t miss Trump.
You guys should hire better employees.

Their employees wish Trump would have been assassinated.

An absolute phenomenal and authentic Kaiseki dining experience in Portland.
Absolutely stellar experience. Went for the handroll experience. We arrived early and the space is incredibly intimate. You get to pick your seats which was nice since we got seats where we could watch Ryan Roadhouse and company prepare the meal. Service was fun and I really enjoyed everything there. Sake pairings were out of this world.

One of, if not the very, best restaurant in Oregon. Every interaction, experience, bite and sip here is filled with joy, creativity, pride & deliciousness. Thank you! ???

The meal was very well prepared. The presentation was beautiful. The service was superb! I definitely recommend getting the sake pairing and you should get an Uber or have a designated driver after this meal.
Alex Lim
Good Japanese fine dining as usual

What does one say? I didn't take any pictures of the 15+ playfully plated dishes but even a good photo wouldn't do much to capture the special, precise intentionality in each bite.Not every dish in the (2+ hour omakase) menu was perfect for me but nothing missed the mark and every bite was either sublime or a new taste/texture adventure. The service was exceptional and created/supported an intimate atmosphere among the exceptional experience.This restaurant is remarkably expensive and requires making reservations far in advance but the remarkable talent in both the kitchen and front of house are more than worth it.
