- RRichardPortland / Oregon •1 review5.0Dined 5 days ago4 person Omakase experience was exceptional. Well paced, it very much felt as though they intended for our table to be our the whole night. The staff was very attentive. Cocktails and sake selections were wonderful. By far a must try experiance in Portland.More infoZilla SakePrice: Expensive• Sushi• North Portland•4.7
- DdanielChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoIt took a solid 15 minutes or so before we were greeted, which isn't a big deal, but the Sushi bar was also a bit backed up, so it would have been nice to be able to at least get some drinks and starters going a bit quicker. That ends the complaints - service was overall exceptional. We got some fairly "standard" rolls, but even the rainbow roll that you can get just about anywhere was exceptional. They had monkfish liver on special with a yuzu sauce that was absolutely out of this world. There was also a jalapeno toro crispy rice nigiri special that was one of the best bites I've had all year - extremely unique flavors and a really fun party of textures. When I come back, I'll definitely explore some of the more unique options available - my party was a bit averse to branching out too much - even though they ended up *loving* the monkfish liver, our most "adventurous" pick. Seaweed salad and gomae were also top-notch. I had a "Scott Toddy" - probably the best hot toddy I've had (FYI: sweeter than usual). I'll probably pass on the house sake next time and spend the few extra bucks on something nicer. There was nothing wrong with it, and for $9 it'll do the job, but there's a reason you get 9oz for $9. I can't wait to come back.More infoMoMoYamaPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Pearl District•4.9

Love the ambiance and low-key atmosphere, it's great for couples or large groups. Their staff is the best!

The drinks were delicious. The place was packed and we all could easily hear each other.
