Located in downtown PDX, this sushi spot is one of those no-frills conveyor belt sushi places that…read morelook a little dirty from the outside. If you're looking for an upscale omakase experience, this isn't it. The staff is friendly, but sometimes there is a wait. Since it is a revolving sushi counter, space clears up quickly and there is lots of spots to sit. The sushi is reasonably priced, the selection is solid, and they even carry Uni at $5 a piece, a price that doesn't make you do a double take for sea urchin! It's much better than HMART Uni fr. In a city where sushi can get expensive fast, Hana keeps things affordable - which I truly appreciate, especially being in downtown. Perfect for a casual lunch, quick dinner, or when you're craving sushi without the special-occasion price tag.

I went a third time when I was in Portland recently and made it a point to stop by for lunch. I always get the Chef's Choice Nigiri for $29 (7 pieces with a miso soup). The quality of the fish is absolutely superb, especially for this price. I always end up ordering something else like a handroll to be fully satisfied.

If you're not downtown, they also have a smaller location on the east side! To start I got the takoyaki, or fried octopus balls. It was crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, with a tender and chewy piece of octopus, topped with a sweet sauce and fish flakes. Yum!! For my main, I wanted to try one of their broth-less udons and chose one of the specials, the Mentaiko kama-tama Udon--house-made flat udon noodles tossed in and onion oil, bonito, and soy dashi sauce. The noodles are topped with Men-taiko (spicy Tarako caviar), soft egg, tobiko, tempura puffs, green onions, and nori. I also added ikura (as recommended). I've never had flat udon noodles or broth-less udon but I'm forever changed. The minimal broth allows the toppings to be the stars of the show, and here was no exception. The flavors were complex, but balanced, and the variety of textures kept me coming back for another bite. The soy dashi sauce was full of umami and a subtle spicy kick, the fish eggs added pops of saltiness, and the tempura puffs and green onions added some crunch and offset the richness from the other toppings. The house-made noodles also made a huge difference, they were chewy but tender, and soaked up the soy dashi perfectly. I could not recommend Shigezo Izakaya enough!

Generous meat portion and it's cooked well. The broths were piping hot and flavorful too. We also tried the Fried Squid Legs and Tsukune. Again, both were delicious and made fresh. Nothing to complain here, we'll definitely be back.

My review is coming from a place of a life long sushi lover. I have absolutely no notes about the…read moreservice - it was extraordinary! It moreso has to do with the minimal sushi options. They have a menu of about 10 rolls & at least 4 involve tempura - which to me isn't the sushi I'm searching for. I want FISH. In addition, their beverages were also limited. I feel like if you're more of a novice to sushi this is for you, but if you love fish & fresh fish - then I would go elsewhere. I will likely not be back nor recommend to visitors; however i would say it is satisfactory to perhaps the most average or novice sushi lover.

But I've had sushi in San Francisco, Monterey, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland, Las Vegas, all sorts of places. THIS was the sashimi to end sashimi. I also had a sunshine roll, which was great. I could taste literally every single ingredient of the roll in every single bite, through every second of chewing. The baked green mussels were delicious as well. The Kodama was pretty good, a little sweet, but still good. Service was quick, staff was very friendly and helpful, it was very quiet, clean, and the vibe was very relaxed. If I'm back in Portland again, this is one of the first places I'm coming back to. 5/5, if there was a gold star 5/5 I would give it to Kaizen.

We like sushi. We eat it fairly regularly in DC. When local family says they have a new place to…read moretry in Portland...yeah, interest already increases. Momoyama definitely delivers in the flavor department. What I was struck by was not just the freshness of the fish, nor the expert cuts...but the diversity of flavors. Perfect example - the King salmon with truffle knocked my socks off. I am not really a fan of salmon. I find its raw texture to often be a little soft to my taste and the funk of the omega 3s in quality salmon is just... not my bag. The truffle completely transformed the experience for me. I was not prepared for how well the earthy notes of the truffle complimented the King salmon. It made the sushi something to be savored without any of the traditional off-putting (to me) fishy funkiness. Highly recommended. Similarly, the octopus Sunomono was perfectly prepared. Often, octopus can be chewy. Not in this case. Additionally, the sauces and the salad greens complimented the dish and elevated it from traditional "sushi tastes." The bracing acidity made me want to eat more and was a delightful preamble for the rest of the meal. Service was prompt, friendly, and accommodating. We had a large group of eight and they were dutiful in informing us they had included gratuity in the bill so as to avoid double tipping. This small courtesy was not wasted on us. Service was always readily accessible without being intrusive. Orders were executed without defect and questions were answered pleasantly and with expertise. The restaurant has a pleasant and serene serving space. The bracing refrain of the "Irashai!" Greeting was a welcome touch that made me smile. Overall highly recommended. The prices were quite excellent given the quality of food and I would not hesitate a second visit. Sushi well, my friends.

Maybe the idea is to help with any language barrier -- the server spoke fluent English, while often the sushi chefs do not -- but we found him way too attentive. We sat at the bar so we could interact with the sushi chefs. We did talk with a chef, but his advice wasn't very specific. So...despite plenty of suggestions from the server, and some advice from the chef, and a long time perusing and discussing the extensive menu, we still weren't sure what to order. We finally went with a combo and were disappointed to see it served in a boat! That just seemed like a gimmicky, touristy thing, we would have preferred a plate. The fish actually was very good, and so were the salads. A shrimp nigiri was the only misstep, as the shrimp was overcooked. I guess I would return to this place -- hopefully on that server's day off! And make sure my order is not coming on a little boat. And skip the shrimp.
