"This was such a great find! Visiting from LA and I wanted to make sure we got to eat some sushi while in Portland. I found this place and was able to make a reservation by calling. The parking situation is a bit interesting. There is a structure attached to the building the restaurant was in and when we went in for dinner we paid while going into the structure, and then there are 2 receipts that it gives you. One is to be left on the dashboard of your car and the other you can give to your server and they give you cash back for paying for parking! Thought that was interesting. The servers were all very kind and helpful There is a wide range of options on the menu and everything we got was so good! I ordered the chawanmushi which was really good! We ordered our meals from the selected dinner options. They came with a salad, miso soup, rice, and some tsukemonos. My boyfriend got the combination entree with the tonkatsu and sushi combination. The tonkatsu was a good portion size but tasted like just another tonkatsu I have had. The sushi came with a variety of nigiri and a tekka maki (tuna cut roll). I ordered the single entree with the sashimi. This sashimi was one of the best I have ever had, outside of Japan! The cuts were very thick and all of the fish tasted so fresh. We also ordered some salmon, otoro (fatty tuna), and hamachi (yellow tail) nigiri and wow they were all so good! The toro was the favorite for how buttery and soft it was. We loved all the sushi so much we came back aging for lunch on our trip! I would definitely stop here if you like sushi. The prices were all very reasonable for the quality of food!"
