Delightful, truly authentic Japanese dining in Portland…read more We were visiting for an overnight mini vacation and stopped in for a nice lunch before heading back home. What caught my eye the chalkboard listing fish that one sees at high-end sushi restaurants. Fresh fish flown in from all over but not ignoring the amazing local farm to table items (or in this case, net to table). Our dishes were prepared expertly and amazingly good. I haven't had a Japanese dining experience like this since we were in New York. The wait staff are absolutely amazing. The ladies there were chatting with our kids, teaching and correcting their Japanese, and clearly tickled by the conversation. The decor is nicely subdued, but comfortable. This would be a great place for a first date, or to celebrate a nice event like a new job or an outing with someone special. Highly recommended.

The passion fruit lemonade mocktail, a ten. I had a large platter of "a little of this, a little of that" : filet mignon, lobster, shrimp, scallops and noodles- small salad, clear broth soup. All good but too much food. I will return, sample the seafood ceviche. Why not a five star meal? It was my first visit- will need to sample more dishes.

I admit I was pleasantly surprised. My teenage daughter likes to come here with her friends for…read morehibachi grill. She has been begging me to go with her. So we finally went together. The hibachi grill "show" is exactly what you would expect. The flames, the spinning egg, the spatula banging/drumming, the onion flaming volcano, the tossing pieces of food so the customers can catch it in their mouth, and squirting sake directly into your mouth. I haven't been to hibachi grill in at least 15 years...nothing has changed. Exactly the same. The grill guy was very enthusiastic, funny, and gave my daughter a balloon when he was finished cooking. The food portions are generous. We both brought about half our meal. The food was fresh. The flavors were average...like they intentionally made them basic for the most common denominator. I did like each portion included both rice and noodles. The meal also comes with a small salad (very basic) and a clear broth soup which was better than I expected. The price is reasonable.

I love this restaurant. It's dangerously close to where I live and I go here often and get various…read moremaki rolls. Sushi obviously isn't inexpensive, but compared to many places in Portland it's quite reasonably priced if you order non-speciality rolls. The eel avocado roll is especially good and I have also enjoyed the fatty tuna and yellowtail/scallion. I think what makes this place special though is that it appears the owner is heavily involved in the day-to-day operations. I believe he works as a sushi chef sometimes and I've also passed by late at night and seen him cleaning the glass on the front door. The waiters seem genuinely happy to be working there and seem to be friends with each other. They also seem to have strong intra-restaurant culture such as greeting people who walk in the door with the same greetings that I heard when I was in Japan and saying "corner" every time they're rounding a corner with food. The patio outside is delightful. There's a waterfall and the space has the feel of a Japanese tea garden. Really special place. It can feel a bit buzzy/sceney on the weekends, for better or worse. Definitely a special restaurant worth going to.

My friends and I had a fabulous experience here. We started with the fried chicken (chicken…read morekaraage) which opened up our appetite for all the sushi we ate. Every sushi roll was fresh and packed with different fish. We loved the option to sit at the traditional Japanese tables on the floor, it reminded me of when in Japan. It took a bit of time for the sushi to come in, but we did order quite a bit (so worth it) They had a painting on the wall featuring the sushi chefs from 2020 and they told us that the same sushi chefs are still working here! It was very heart warming.

I stopped into King of the Roll for a casual dinner and tried the beef ramen. Overall, it was solid…read morebut not particularly memorable. The broth had some flavor but lacked the depth and richness I look for in a standout bowl of ramen, and the beef itself was a bit on the chewy side. The noodles were cooked fine, and the portion was reasonably filling, but the whole dish felt more like a generic noodle soup than a specialty ramen. Service was friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed, which made the visit pleasant enough. For sushi or a quick Japanese bite, King of the Roll still works, but if you're specifically craving really great ramen, there are better options in Portland. For the beef ramen alone, I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars.

I have never met two people more caring about feeding their community. This review is special as I had the privilege of working on their team some time this summer. You won't be disappointed. All of the desserts are amazing. The green tea fried ice cream is amazing. The iced tea is made in house. But the rainbow roll and vegetarian green dragon roll are amazing. Two clean bathrooms, outdoor seating in the summer time with a view to people watch. The sweet potato roll is one of their best as well. Enjoy.

Sapporo might displace Yosaku as my go to lunch spot! The lunch menu is very reasonably priced, about $15-22 depending on what you get. 3 rolls for $18 is just about as good as it gets (lower for veggie) and they have some unusual additions as "standard" rolls including spicy scallop and real Maine crab California. I like that most of their hot food also has a smaller lunch portion as well. I've had the katsu before, would recommend. They also have kids sets including a sushi set, which is a big deal for me because my kid can be more expensive than me if I order her à la carte inari depending on the spot. Overall the ease of parking and beautiful interior make this tempting to just skip going into Portland when the sushi craving hits.

Pro Tip: Do not be seated after 8:15…read more To start, we are go here often for sushi, it's local and delicious. Tonight's experience was however different and super disappointing. We came in for a little celebration with our daughter. We were greeted at the door and promptly sat, party of 8. We ordered our food and drinks, some alcoholic. Soon after, we noticed staff was starting to mop and clean the floors. After finishing our first round of drinks they cut us off 9:17, because they said they close at 9:30. No heads up. We also didn't get soup that was supposed to go with our meals because ' they weren't available ' !? Anyways, I suggested that if they have no intention on giving a good service, to just not seat people. It's disappointing to spend a lot of money in this economy for meh service. The waitress however was super nice and tried her hardest given the circumstances she was given by management.

All in all 5 stars again!
