Been eating at Sinju for the last 15 years. Excellent food And the service more so. Just great crew. Regular customer that love seating at the bar area and enjoy dinner. It is actually the only sushi place I eat at. read more

We stopped in on a whim when a sushi craving hit and we were not disappointed! Ended up grabbing some seats at the counter & striking up a conversation with our sushi chef Eric. He was very attentive, friendly, and had some great recommendations. Everything we ordered was delicious but my favorite was definitely the crispy rice tuna & the hamachi jalapeño! read more

Sinju Sushi - Hamachi Jalapeño - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Been here a couple of times and always had an amazing meal. The sauce that comes with the garlic edamame is out of this world; we like to ask for it on the side to use as a dipping sauce for our sushi. The steamed dumplings are also quite tasty, and they always have some delicious specials! I most recently tried a special that had salmon, tuna and shrimp tempura that was killer. Great date night spot before a movie at Bridgeport! read more

Arrived early for a dinner reservation and was seated promptly at the Sushi Bar. I was greeted by the sushi chef and the waitress came by to take my drink order. I had to wait for a while for my dining companion as there was a lot of traffic so the Chef suggested fresh Bluefin tuna. I tried a couple pieces and it was excellent. I also tried some O Toro which was even better. For my main course I ordered my favorite roll, the Yummy Crunch which is a great mix of shrimp tempura and crab with wonderful flavor. read more

We had such a wonderful lunch date at Sinju! The atmosphere is exactly what you'd want--mood lit, cozy, and calm without being too dark. It wasn't overly busy, which gave us the perfect balance of privacy and conversation while enjoying some truly amazing food. Service was calm, courteous, kind, and attentive the entire time. Now the food--absolutely outstanding! Every dish was plated beautifully and tasted even better: * Hamachi Jalapeño - The standout star! Perfectly delicate hamachi topped with fresh jalapeño and a touch of sauce. The simplicity combined with that bold kick of flavor was pure perfection. Elegant, clean, and absolutely unforgettable. * Spicy Pork Lettuce Wraps - Tender, savory pork in a rich, spicy sauce paired with fresh, crisp lettuce. The freshness of the greens balanced the spice perfectly, making every bite bright and flavorful. * Volcano Roll - A showstopper! Warm, baked topping of spicy crab over a roll that had depth and flavor in every bite. The creamy heat and slightly charred finish made this one of the top dishes of the day. * Orange Blossom Roll - Fresh salmon layered over a beautiful roll with bright pops of roe and jalapeño. Refreshing yet indulgent, with a little zing that kept us coming back for more. * Sunset Roll - Another visually stunning and delicious roll, with salmon and vibrant toppings that delivered a smooth, buttery bite every time. The Hamachi Jalapeño and Volcano Roll were the absolute winners, though everything we tried was spot on. From start to finish, it was an elevated yet approachable dining experience. Sinju delivered on all levels--food, service, and ambiance. If you're looking for an amazing sushi and Japanese dining experience, this is it. Already looking forward to our next visit! read more

I'd like to first compliment Cassie at the bar, she was very kind, attentive and quick. She's clearly very experienced and her hospitality was very appreciated. Food was excellent, I chose 2 house rolls and asked Cassie if they had a sweet potato roll, which they didn't. But she asked the chefs if they could accommodate and they made me an awesome tempura sweet potato roll. It was SO good! Ambiance was very nice too. I definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

The inside is warm and intimate. The outside is perfect for sunny weather. I came here for the first time for lunch with family.

The counter is back open! We love sitting at the counter and we're excited to see it's back open. The food is good quality and not overpriced. The tempura is amazing! Get the tempura, and you won't be disappointed. We visited early in the dinner hour so the restaurant was still quiet and almost empty. I've seen the patio with lots of people so they do get busy. Plus they are next door-ish to the theater so it's a good movie night spot. read more

Garlic edamame, tuna tower and salmon belly were great, the maki was good too tho the smoked salmon nigiri could have been better.

The ambiance and service is amazing. Food is top tier and just a wonderful place over all.. Sake is read more

The food is so good !!! Everything is fresh and high quality:) thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought about the orange blossom roll for over a year and it was even better the second time! Great service, the seating options are good, and on a non-weekend night we got sat very quickly. Portions are big and we barely finished all our food, but loved every bite. The yuzu whiskey sour was delicious as well! read more

sooo yummy! cool ambience and service was great we got free miso soup. entrance blended in with the wall though haha

I love coming here with my friends before we go watch a movie. The indoor atmosphere is intimate and cozy. The outside is nice for standard sidewalk seating. The bathrooms have a unique vibe. Colored lighting, an entire mirror wall, pebble wall.. etc. Happy hour here is good too! Shoutout to the bartender. He's awesome. We sat bar top. Always try the garlic edamame and hot sake. I didn't get great pics because I'm very busy eating! read more

Sinju Sushi - Russian Roll Russian Roll - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I was at Bridgeport and got pretty hungry, so I decided to check out this place after being recommended it by the person I was with. Inside, it is a bit more upscale than what you would typically expect for an outdoor mall, but nothing crazy. The lighting is dim and all of the seating is pretty private, creating a great atmosphere for a date or small get-together. My boyfriend and I decided to order some nigiri pieces, sashimi, and agedashi tofu. None of the food took too long and the portion itself are perfect. Everything was great, but nothing out of the ordinary. All of the sashimi and nigiri were fresh, light, and beautifully prepared. It wouldn't be my first place to go to for sushi, but if I were hungry and already at Bridgeport, I wouldn't mind coming back! read more

Sinju Sushi - Sweet Ebi - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Decent, competent, satisfying sushi nigiri and sushi rolls in a comfortable setting. There's also a large and tasty variety of fully cooked selections. It's a good option for groups with diverse gastronomic requirements. Convenient free parking in a multi-story garage next to restaurant. read more

really great atmosphere - loved the cozy fireplace room and the acrylic chairs lining the sushi bar. Our server was very attentive and answered our many questions the best he could - even bringing out a sample of a cocktail we were debating on. The sushi was a bit hit and miss, the fish was fresh but some of the items were a little goopy for me - I prefer minimal or no sauces. I loved the area as a whole, very nice for a post dinner stroll. read more

After the first 20 or so 5 star visits, the last 10 have been terrible. We only sit in the bar area. Usually bar top with Cassie because she is awesome. When we walk by to the empty bar top, we get scolded every time by an 18 year old host telling us we can't go sit there without checking in. Ok. No problem. No other restaurant with an empty bar makes you wait at an empty host stand to check in to an empty bar top. Every time we are offered menus, every time we repeat we know exactly what we want just like last time. Yesterday I made a reservation at 9:00 AM, to sit in the bar area with Cassie at 5:30, 4 people. We got there at 5:00, 30 minutes before our reservation. I saw the table was about the be ready for us. We checked in and left for a bit. Came back at 5:20 and saw our table all ready. Cassie came and said hello. Then they informed us that table was not for us, but for walk-ins. Huh? That's the table I requested at 9:00 AM. 2 hours before they open. Never once was called and told that we couldn't sit there. We have sat there every time. So I told them we came at 5:00, so that's a walk-in. They said no. This was the last option they had to keep us. This is 100% a management/owner problem. They don't have a manager as far as I know. If they do, SHAME on them and the owners. I know a lot of others that go through this as well. We will never ever be back. Terrible restaurant operations. 25 years in the industry as well as a manager, so I know it when I see it. read more

There was one roll that tasted like acetone. I ran into an ex employee a bit later in school and she said the same thing! Never will come here again read more

Sadly Sinju beef is not what it used to be. So horribly salty and was cooked like shoe leather. Had to send back. Came back almost bloody and even more salty. read more

Was so sad when the Sinju in Clackamas closed so I am very grateful for this location. The Sushi is amazing, and the staff is always so kind. I have noticed they don't have the Lavender lemonades here so if any higher up views this please bring them back! Lovely place, Good Food and amazing staff. read more

Went to Sinju with a large group of people and they were very accommodating. The food was fresh and the employees were all friendly and attentive to our orders! read more

A bit disappointed in the sushi quality the past couple of times here. Very large menu with lots of options. Food and drinks are a bit on the pricey side compared to other local sushi options in the area. read more

While the ambiance and staff were pleasurable the sushi was not very good. We ordered 4 rolls and all were boring and lacked flavor. The rice wasn't very sticky and the rolls fell apart too easily. I've been eating sushi for 40 years and this is probably one of the worst for flavor and texture. They're overpriced too. I'm giving a 2 instead of 1 for friendly service. read more

The ramen was very delicious and a large serving! Wonderful ambiance and kind staff with very speedy service.

The service was above and beyond. Flora was an absolute delight! She stored my food in the fridge while I shopped, something I didn't expect a restaurant would do, so when I came back later in the evening I was shocked she was still there so I ordered some drinks at the bar just to chat with her. She was a pleasure and so knowledgeable about their sake and Japanese liquor varieties. I ordered the salmon nigiri, their calamari or octopus special, the ahi tower, and the lychee martini and all were fantastic! I will be visiting again read more

Sushi is fine but not great...I expected far better for the price and ambiance that this restaurant exhibits. I probably wouldn't be leaving a review...but upon checkout our server charged the table next to us our ticket. Which for some reason meant she couldn't charge us (still don't understand this?) Long story short it became very complicated- we had to wait longer til the other patrons returned to the restaurant. It was the most bizarre and un professional experience I've had at a restaurant. Sadly this ruined our evening as it took time we didn't have as we had plans after dinner. My advice- review your ticket when it comes to your table and again when they bring it back for you to sign. read more

There are only a few authentic Japanese restaurants in town, and this is one of them. The photos of the food are nice, but you must come and experience the extraordinary flavors that give us pause to savor. It's not just me, as you have to book reservations in advance for popular weekend dining. Monkey Brains is a must have, for Avocado lovers. It's on the Appetizer menu. The waitress recommended the Summer Roll, which is wrapped in cucumber instead of Nori. So far, I've only ordered rolls, that happen to have no rice, thus making them perfect for the Keto Diet. Yakisoba here is also better than anywhere else in town. again, you have to come and experience the flavors. Sinju is located in the Northwest corner of Bridgeport, with parking close by. Dine In and Patio dining is available. read more

They have socially distancing dining. Yahoooo! Enjoyed patio dining on a Monday afternoon and how delightful it was. Staff was super nice and facility clean and beautifully decorated. Order up: there's a dish combo where you can choose 2 types of sushi from list and it comes w cucumber salad and miso soup. Most admit it was just right amount. We ordered the basics: cali roll, spicy tuna, spicy salmon. Also udon tempura. This really hit the spot for sushi craving and dining out. Will have to try the more exotic choices next time. read more

Hand to GOD (man/woman) upstairs, I loved this place. Fantastic food, and wonderful service, until now. We had dinner on a Saturday evening. The two of us were sat at the absolute worst table in the place. The one where my husband had to watch people go to the bathroom and then wash their hands right behind me. I had to ask to be moved down to another open table but was denied because they had a 4 top coming in. I insisted and they moved us, with the other party never showing. I called to speak to management the next day to let them know, "hey, just close off that spot/wall next to the bathroom at that one table so people eating their sushi don't have to watch people wash their hands after going to the bathroom in whatever fashion suited them at that time". I was told I would hear back. I called again the next day after not hearing back. I was told that management is not there, and what ever I was told yesterday is what would happen. So, I then asked to speak with a supervisor instead. Abruptly put on hold by the receptionist. I sat there for a second before I hung up to call back because I didn't catch her name. She did not feel comfortable giving out her first name, and hung up on me. Loved the place, and now never going back. read more

When I see rolls that cost nearly $20, I will have higher standards. I was not really impressed with any of the rolls that we tried. The Spider, 911, and the Dynamite. They were large and in general pretty bland aside from the cream cheese or the fishy taste after the soft shell crab. The miso soup was appropriately priced at $3. The tofu was nice and firm, the wakame (seaweed) was chewy and flavorful. It was a good soup! The service was minimal, just efficient. "What do you want" and "here is your check" kind of deal. So many other options in Portland! I would not go out of my way to go here and I am so glad we made reservations. read more

The food and service were good, that's first off. Lunch was simple--sone edamame and spanish mackerel sashiki---aji. Everything was dialed in. Presentation was solid. Prices, though, as others have noted, are high. That is my only reason for three stars, because the value ratio isn't present. But the fish was very good. read more

This food was amazing. The outdoor seating also nice however we were seated originally directly in the sun after requesting specially not to be. A small move and everything else was perfect. I was with small group of coworkers and no one had a complaint. The rolls I ordered were new to me, but are probably my most favorite of all time. Lion King Roll Summer Roll read more

The sushi is so good. My favorite place! Philadelphia roll is the best. Usually the staff is very friendly

I'm just not impressed with the prices here. This was definitely good sushi but I can get the same sushi for literally half price at a conveyor belt. I think the most disappointing part was the "dumplings" which sounded amazing on the menu and what I got was store bought and steamed ones. This was 15 dollars?! I could go to fubon right now and get 5 packs for that price. They do have a good HH and that's probably the only time I would ever come back. read more
