TL:DR Air conditioner not working properly but food was reasonably priced and portions were large and delicious. Other than the AC not working properly I enjoyed my experience here at the restaurant. My wife and I had just moved here from Reno, NV which is renowned for its all you can sushi restaurants but we were craving some sushi and thankfully it's just a short walk away from our new place. We got a total of 1 appetizer (takoyaki) three rolls and two pieces of nigiri and were worried we were not going to be full after that food. Usually we always get more at an all you can eat restaurant (6-7 rolls, some nigiri, apps and desserts) but thankfully we were full after the rolls. The server was quite nice and welcomed us to the neighborhood and gave us some poki sticks to boot! The overall experience was delightful with my only complaint that it definitely needs to have some better cooling in the restaurant, my wife was "glowing" all over the seats. Even though I realize it's not usually the restaurants fault I do believe that landlords should provide enough comfort for both their tenants and the customers in the restaurant. Would be five stars but my ranking usually follows 4-5 stars for the food, a star depending on the service (usually basic timely service unless it was abysmal) and a final star for just the general ambiance of the restaurant. I can't past how hot it was inside there despite Portland being a more temperate climate I believe if the place doesn't cool down effectively it probably doesn't heat as good as well. Don't let that distract you tho, the food was delicious, and the service was timely and impeccable. read more

Sushi One - Rainbow roll and Dragon Roll - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Based on the revives I had higher hopes for this place. Staff wasn't very friend at all. No greetings or pleasantries until they brought the bill. We ordered three different sushi rolls and they all fell apart from not being wrapped properly. It also felt like instead of having great fish they just had mediocre fish and hoped the plethora of ingredients in top saved the roll. It didn't and I wouldn't come back to give them another shot. read more

Wonderful service and great food. Get their special roll or the Oregon Coast roll 10/10 Voted #1 sushi spot in North Portland for a reason! read more

The food quality has gone down significantly since we were last here. Nori was soggy and the fillings were just really generic and mediocre tasting. Service was still excellent but it's a bummer that I don't think I'd come back again. read more

Sushi One - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We ordered a variety of dishes, sushi, sashimi, noodles and fried rice - sad to say that it was disappointed. The atmosphere was nice and cute for a date. The staff was super friendly and nice enough to switch out our noodle dishes out because it was so salty. We switched to a fried rice instead but it was salty again. The only dish that was good was the creamy scallop rolls! read more

If you're a sushi lover, you absolutely have to give this place a try. The flavors are very authentic, and the owner is really nice, too.

First time trying this neighborhood spot, and it's really good! Such a nice surprise. The sushi was so fresh and tasty, and the nigiri was generous. I loved the West Coast roll with salmon and scallop. The atmosphere is pretty minimal, and there is a tv screen inexplicably showing items from the menu and even pics of the inside of the restaurant you are sitting in. This is niggling, but I asked what the chef's recommended fresh fish for the day was, and the server said, "Well, the salmon is pretty popular..." That's a very common courtesy to the sushi chef to ask their recommendations, or for them to have a board showing their best fish for that day. All that said, thumbs up on Sushi One! read more

Great sushi and great service. Sushi rolls were good and so was the sashimi. Recommend

I'm a regular here. It's a great neighborhood place to get sushi and other Japanese dishes. The owners and staff a very friendly as well.

Bonus points to the restaurant for their generous portions of truly bad sushi. We ordered for take out over the phone and went in to pick it up so we didn't really examine the bag and it's contents. We found later at home that the first red bag should have been the irregularly cut orange slices accompanying our "Citrus Salmon Sashimi." The sashimi was basically chunks of salmon cut in no regular order - like poke cuts but worse - fitted into a hollow orange rind with the 2 ends of the orange peel decorating the whole thing like a pair of Mickey Mouse ears. There were 4 tiny slices of avocado to, I guess, pair with this whole feast which couldn't save the sashimi from having any real taste or flavor of citrus or good salmon. Second red flag was the seared albacore nigiri pieces looking like it was standing up straight from how dry it was. While I believe the intent was to sear the piece of fish, the result was a half cooked, thin slice of fish on top of rice. Unpleasant to eat. Last few things: the ratio of rice to filling/topping on the sushi rolls (we got the west coast roll) was basically 1-to-1. You'd get full off 3 pieces, no matter your appetite -- trust. Anyway, the reviews on this place has given me trust issues with highly rated sushi places in Portland. My partner and I were both fighting for our lives in the bathroom last night. Other than the exciting turn of the night, Sushi One has not impressed in any other way. read more

At almost $20 per signature roll, it's not cheap... but it's probably the best sushi we've had in Portland! We took it to go so can't speak to the service or ambiance but the place looked quaint and cozy when I picked the food up. Would absolutely come back and recommend to others. read more

I think I've found my new favorite sushi place! I've been to MANY sushi restaurants over the years, and Sushi One is spectacular. The restaurant is meticulously clean, staff is very friendly and helpful, variety is huge, and the food is absolutely stunning! Although there is no parking lot, there is plenty of easy street parking available. The sushi rolls here are unique in that most of them are not loaded with avocado, and are not swimming in heavy sauces. The chefs seem to truly appreciate the ingredients, and know best how to prepare and highlight them. I've had negi hama many places before, and Susi One's is hands-down the best. The crispy and fresh scallion in it was something I don't recall discerning at other places. The same holds true for the hamachi kama and sauce that accompanies it. The baked lobster was amazingly great, too. Not at all greasy or heavy, and amazingly fresh. The presentations are particularly great as well. Beautiful flowers and bull's eye beet (or radish, not sure which) act as adornments and serving holders for wasabi, etc. The dishes and place settings are remarkably nice as well. Each of the rolls I had here had an almost magical depth and complexity of flavor, the likes of which I'd never experienced anywhere else before. The only slight negative is that they don't (or at least didn't) have any low-sodium soy sauce. I cannot wait for my next trip and highly recommend Sushi One. read more

Pros: great service, good sushi. Cons: food poisoning, if you order cooked dishes. You'd think it was the sushi, but nope, they have no idea how to cook a grilled dish. Went in at 7pm with a group of 5, and we'd called ahead. They told us 25 minute wait, and we got there 15 minutes later and were seated pretty quickly. We ordered individually, a mix of sushi rolls and cooked plates. I ordered the salmon teriyaki since I'm not a sushi person, and we also got a pot of green tea for the table. The teapot was refilled promptly when we finished it the first time. Food comes and portion sizes look great! They gave me a huge chunk of salmon on my plate so I was excited. However, on starting to eat it I realized that the salmon was not cooked beyond the beautifully grilled surface, and it was fully raw, translucent and cold on the inside. I flagged down our server, who immediately apologized, recognized that it should be fully cooked, and took it back to be remade. A few minutes later, another server came by to tell me they were now out of the salmon teriyaki, and offered to either remove it from the bill or make a slightly different dish. I opted for the dish (salmon collar). However before it came out, I started to feel pretty sick and excused myself to go to the restroom. I'll spare the restroom details, but I was not having a good time. I could also overhear the server in the kitchen, berating the chef for the uncooked salmon, and even saying "this is the fifth time this has happened". Turns out I was not the first victim of this issue. My table asked for a box to go for the salmon collar dish. When I came back, the original server came back to apologize again, and to also tell us they had discounted our bill for the experience. They were very genuinely apologetic and I appreciated their effort to remedy the issue. At this point we'd been at this restaurant a little longer than we'd planned to be, mostly due to the remade dish and the amount of time I'd been in the restroom with a stomachache. We left at around 9pm. I heard from the rest of my group that the sushi was good, but their experience was tainted by what happened to me. And the last cherry on top - the next day, my partner went to heat up the boxed salmon collar dish. These pieces were smaller, but also grilled. Even after reheating it, we found that the salmon collar was still raw on the inside. We threw it away. If you're already on the way here, stick to the sushi. Don't get any cooked dishes. The service worked very hard to make up for the incident, but we won't be returning. read more

Do not order here unless you love mayo. I've had rolls elsewhere with too much mayo for my preference, I prefer a light drizzle. But I've never seen anything like this. Completely inedible. The roll is drenched in Mayo and other sauces. It's hard to see in the pictures fully but there has got to be at least 1/2 a CUP of mayo slopped on this roll. I ordered the Ocean Scallop from the "Sashimi" section of door dash. I expected slices of large ocean scallops. Perhaps I'm wrong but I was under the impression that sashimi meant just the fish. I had no idea it would be minced scallops in globs of mayo in a seaweed wrap... This is not at all what I expected from an upscale sushi restaurant. Super disappointed. read more

Came here with a group of friends on a Saturday evening and it was packed. There was a constant stream of people coming through to eat, so we were pretty excited. Bottom line: great place for raw food, bad place for cooked food. The sushi dishes were delicious--super fresh and huge portions, all reasonably priced. But one of my friends ordered the teriyaki salmon and it was fully raw on the inside. The service is very good, to be fair, and the waiter and manager(?) apologized a dozen times and did get an order of salmon kama for free. They also halved the cost of the original meal. That being said, even the salmon kama ended up being a little undercooked. So, yeah, bottom line: get the sushi. read more

Sushi One food is consistently good. It's our go-to restaurant in NoPo for sushi. The cooked food has always been tasty as well: gyoza, baked salmon, and chicken teriyaki. The seating area is small and no money is wasted on decorations -- that's not needed. Many people are ordering this on Door Dash and the staff treats the delivery people very kindly. read more

Food was amazing can't wait to come back. Service was amazing. Ambiance was great felt right at home read more

Been before and it has been decent but tonight was disappointing. We ordered the sashimi appetizer, spider roll, shrimp shumai and unagi roll. The tuna sashimi was clearly not fresh and mealy. Really bad. Salmon sashimi was chewy, not sure why ‍ but my boyfriend totally agreed with me on this. Never had chewy salmon sashimi. Maybe it was just a bad cut? The unagi roll was put together hastily and was falling apart. The spider roll was ok but mostly just rice. The worst of all was the shrimp shumai. Would not recommend to anyone. It was just bad. Sauce it came with even worse if you're at all familiar with this should be. read more

Great fresh tasting sushi. This might be our 10th time visiting whether dining in or to go. Server was friendly and when asked about sake recommendations provided several options. Owners are always on the premise and making the sushi rolls. I like that they have both fancy sushi rolls and more simpler ones at different price ranges. read more

We wanted to eat good Ramen and this place delivered. The sushi was also wonderful as well as the service.

Love this place! The service is always spot on and sushi delicious.....The fam loves the chicken teriyaki

WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?? Excellent quality fish, generous sashimi cuts, friendly and conscientious staff all result in a high end experience with reasonable prices in a convenient North Portland location. Sushi One exceeds expectations you might have for other sushi restaurants you expect to find downtown or the Pearl. read more

Food and service was wonderful. I even love getting the chicken teriyaki if you don't feel like sushi

its always a hit or miss when finding sushi restaurants. especially when ordering delivery. based on some doordash/yelp ratings and carefuly scrutiny, i decided to take a shot on sushi one. im big on any kind of toro/belly or fatty fish, so finding places that serve them on their menus can be a challenge at times. luckily, sushi one had yellowtail (hamachi) belly at a fair price. we ordered that, some salmon sashimi, the citrus salmon sashimi fusion, and the volcano roll. (the size of the sashimi pieces were pretty plump!) i requested extra wasabi but they didnt include it :-( but the fact that they didnt skimp on the sashimi sort of made up for it. majority of the avocado in the citrus salmon dish was hard, and unripe which was slightly dissapointing but not the end of the world. all in all, i could see myself ordering from this place again in the future! considering its raw fish though, it would probably be better to dine in if you can. read more

This was my first time eating Sushi One's sushi and omg, y'all, it is SO GOOD. First of all, the ordering through Yelp was fast and successful. I was able to walk to Sushi One and get our sushi. Seamless! When I got home and opened the containers, I was amazed by the lovely presentation. Each piece was so delicious. I have never seen hamachi belly nigiri on a sushi menu, so I added it to our order and it was AMAZING. So tender, melt in your mouth, clean flavor. I loved the Denver roll and the Oregon Coast roll as well, although I enjoyed literally everything. My only regret is that I had not visited Sushi One sooner. Thank you very much! read more

Sushi One - Beautiful presentation, even in the to-go boxes! - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Sushi craving on a Saturday Night (any night)? Say no more, let Sushi One handle it. We ordered a Dragon Roll, Sushi Deluxe combo, and Miso Soup through Door Dash. The order took about 45 minutes from the confirmation it was received to delivery. I would say that the rolls are pricy, and from what I saw on the menu so is the ramen/udon. The Sushi Deluxe combo comes with 7 pieces of variety nigri, either a spicy tuna roll (pictures) OR a tempura roll, a miso soup, and a cute lil' flower. I thought the sushi deluxe was the best value. Although pricey, the dragon roll was delicious and each piece was packed with ingredients. Our food tasted fresh and delicious. In terms of packaging, everything was neat and secured. I would definitely order from Sushi One again! read more

This is one of my favorite sushi spots in town but I keep forgetting that I need to write them a review. So here it is! Staffs are very friendly and ready to offer help, I was the only person that dined at the restaurant that night so that's awesome. I had the Chirashi bowl which I highly highly recommend if you love traditional sushi style dish and you can eat a lot. All of the fishes were amazingly fresh, really love the yellowtail and the albacore! There is this really soft and sweet fish that's heavenly good but I do not know the name so that's a pleasant surprise. Portion is huge so one bowl is more than enough for one person. Takoyaki is always good and can't go wrong with it. There's a small parking lot in the back and also there is Lots of Street parking. Highly recommend this place! read more

Ordered poke on a Tuesday night and it was *incredible*. But more than that... get the kimchi. It is so good. It goes so good with the sushi and miso soup.. the kimchi is absolutely my favorite. Solid choice all around. Can't go wrong with Sushi One. Get all of the things. read more

good service, nice place. good selection of sushi. the chef special was a great way to try a bunch of different nigiri for a fair price. their rolls were missing sauce and the cuts of fish weren't the best. would try it again, but not our fav sushi spot. Will say the red snapper was really good, next time we'll probably stick with nigiri only and order what we know will be good. read more

My family adores Sushi One. We first came for our son's birthday, and after some jalapeno poppers (do not miss these), a few rolls, and some ramen, we were instant regulars. Any occasion prompts a sheepish "Sushi One?" from the kid, and we're always quick to accept. If we order enough, it comes served on an adorable little wooden boat which is definitely a crowd pleaser. As the years go by we continue to see new sides of the restaurant. We love to sauna, and sharing a roll and some sake is the perfect post-sauna snack. Lately, we're experimenting with a vegan diet, and while I desperately miss the various fish sushis I'd grow accustomed to (oh no, and the jalapeno poppers--this is temporary Adam, so just be cool), we were delighted/relieved to find several refreshing and delicious items in the menu. Neighborhoods need places like Sushi One that offer healthy, delicious food and friendly service at prices that allow us to keep coming back. This is what makes Sushi One a 5 star experience for us. PS: I've held off on telling anyone about this place out of fear that it will be overrun. I've lived in this neighborhood for 20 years, and seen good places get overcrowded once word gets out. I'm taking the risk here because it's been a little slow lately, and I want to give back to a restaurant that's given us so many fine memories. Enjoy, tell your friends...but not all of them, maybe? Edit: just now seeing some bad reviews based on DoorDash delivery... I would recommend these folks give the restaurant another try when they have the opportunity to enjoy their sushi while it is fresh. Fish that's been sitting in a plastic box will look and taste different than what you get at the table. I'm not saying that one shouldn't order sushi delivery, but perhaps consider ordering more durable menu items and adjusting expectations. read more

This is the worst sushi I've ever had. Everything was wrong and just.. weird. One thing I ordered actually made me laugh when i finally figured out what it was supposed to be. The staff clearly didn't actually want to be there and weren't attentive. They forgot part of our order but after getting what we did get it was for the best. Didn't offer drinks and didn't clear the last persons tea pot off the table when they sat us (or ever). Don't bother with this one. :( read more

They sat down my friend and I despite being busy, which we both appreciate. My friend and I both enjoyed all the plates we ordered, and I recommend that you try the Hawaiian roll.

Either update your phone number so we can call in, or fix your phone. Also when I went into eat it took over 30minutes to get our appetizers & another 30minutes for 3 rolls. Never coming here again. Don't recommend the wait for "decent" sushi that you can get anywhere else. read more

This place has gone through several owners. I tried it years ago and never went back. After reading the reviews with the new owners we decided to go. It was a Thursday night and it was bustling ! The service is very friendly and the food was fabulous. We shared the Gaelic edamame and that alone would be something to go back for. I have the Denver roll and it was perfect. The hamachi sashimi was a little thick cut but fresh and generous. Prices are reasonable as well. I k ow for sure we'll be back. So excited to have a good sushi spot in my hood. read more

Thought i had written a review...somehow it disappeared.... Great sushi at reasonable prices! The fish is fresh and the rolls are filling.
