This place is incredible! It was unusually calm for opening time on Friday (they usually have a line) so we didn't have to wait and sat at the bar. The bartender was super sweet and helpful in suggesting her recommendations. We got the seared ahi tuna wontons, the green beans, a tofu roll, and a funky tuna roll. The Japanese whiskey list was impressive and I got their seasonal shrub spritzer. All of it was perfect. They make everything fresh from scratch. Good atmosphere. And again, super lovely staff! A gem in SE Portland 🥰

Best ginger chicken anywhere! Goyza were a little spicy for me. Nice selection of drinks.

This is the coziest sushi spot I've ever been to. It's got a Japanese countryside atmosphere. Really great sushi at reasonable prices.

Incredibly quick service, got the food really fast too. Chicken Karage was good, korean ribs were a little bit bland, the marinade didn’t penetrate fully. The rolls were not great, pretty flavorless and the rice was too soft so it was falling apart. Salmon sashimi was good.

Delicious sushi rolls!!!!! The fish is so fresh! Cocktails are outstanding and the spicy tempura shrimp roll was incredibly tasty! I also loved the cute nook where we sat by the window!
This is a very good small restaurant serving Japanese cuisine with a twist. Classic dishes and homemade specials with an emphasis on local ingredients. They have a really nice selection of sakes. It was impressive! It’s a small place but very cozy. No sushi bar to sit at, but there is a nice Bar with really friendly staff. I can’t wait to come back again. Zenbu by has that special vibe that’s really hard to find in any restaurant. Character, great food and a really relaxed atmosphere!

Not super authentic but food was still tasty. Most sushi places give each roll a name, their's is only a description with limited options than the avg sushi restaurant

Service and food were great!
But it’s annoying when restaurants take an automatic 20% tip and not only doesnt tell you but also misleads customers by giving you a prompt of how much you should tip at the bottom of their receipt. So I tipped 20% on top of the previous 20%. Congrats to this place for figuring out that scam! I’ll pay attention next time.

Delicious, fresh sushi in a fun environment. Felt like we were on a ship! They had only one waitress, but boy was she on top of it! Impressive service for the situation. Will be going back!

A tiny bit dark for the QR codes, but I loved the ambience and Halloween decorations. Great tap list, great food, beat sushi I've ever had though I'm limited in my experiences with sushi. (Heads up.)
