Stopped by Mio Sushi while I was in Portland and was really impressed with the portion sizes, especially for the price. The sushi was super good and the rolls were a lot bigger than I expected. My only small complaint was that some of the end pieces weren't rolled very well. They were basically just huge lumps of sushi, but they still tasted good so it wasn't a huge deal. We also got the teriyaki chicken, which was really good. The teriyaki sauce had a ton of flavor and they gave us a pretty generous portion of chicken too. Also our server (who i'm guessing was the owner) went above and beyond and was super nice and helpful. read more

We visited as a group of three on a weekday night without a reservation, and had no trouble getting seated. Parking is easy - there's a small lot behind the restaurant, plus plenty of free street parking in the neighborhood. The space is fairly small inside, but they also offer patio seating when the weather is nice. It seemed cleanly and orderly. I notice now that the reviews are really mixed, but we had a good experience. Service was friendly and attentive. If anything, service was overly attentive, as they kept our waters filled to the brim. No one was there that matches the description that past reviewers seem to have had issues with. Food wise, we ordered a couple of appetizers and a couple of sushi rolls. I'd probably skip the appetizers next time as they were just okay. The sushi rolls came out beautifully presented on one big tray. Each were good - not incredible, but solid. For the neighborhood spot this is, I would definitely return. read more

Holy moly. The elderly woman who works there is the weirdest combination of demented, rude, and mean I have ever seen in a person. Probably shouldn't work with the public. I have never regretted stepping in an establishment more in my life. She needs serious help. Bonus, I felt sick to my stomach leaving the place. Bad omens. Bad karma. Bad service. Bad. Bad. Bad. read more

Service was excellent and they were able to accommodate our group of 8. Sushi was enjoyed by all and plenty of it. Bento boxes were excellent as well as appetizer of gyoza's and edamame. No left overs for sure and everyone left with a smile on their faces!!! read more

Great food and great service! Love this place and so does my whole family. Best kids menu/meal ever!!

The old woman working over doesn't know how to be a server. Sushi is nasty and so is the sticky floor. Won't be coming back here and don't recommend to others to try this horrible place read more

I love this place. The sushi is fresh, the prices are reasonable, it's small and intimate with good parking and on a nice summer day they have outdoor seating available. read more

The best in the neighborhood? Wrong it is the opposite of best in the neighborhood. Overpriced and poor quality sushi! This sushi restaurant should get 0 stars for serving bad quality sushi and I'm not sure why they're rewarded for serving the "best sushi" in Portland when the fishes aren't even fresh. It was absolutely terrible and they also charge you for side sauces like spicy mayo and eel sauce for dining in. It's reasonable to do so for to-go but dining in, that's greedy of them. The restaurant is old and dirty as well. Ants appeared from tiny holes crawling on the benches. I witnessed a customer mistakenly walk into this restaurant thinking it was Thai and apologized to the the old woman server who greeted them at the door she had a sudden change of attitude negatively and decided to turn and walk to the back, ignoring the customer's apology. Is that how you treat customers for walking in to the wrong restaurant? The customer is lucky to have skipped this restaurant because of how the lady reacted in annoyance. She's an ill-mannered lady and her old grumpy looking face says it all. Spend your money elsewhere and there's way better sushi places out in Portland that serves outstanding quality sushi and positive attitude customer service than this one here. Never returning here again. read more

Not sure why this place only has 3.5 stars.. One of my favorite spots in the area. consistently fresh sushi, amazing staff, quick service. Seriously some of the best salmon nigiri I can find anywhere. The tempura is also very unique, different recipe than other places and is probably my favorite item there. The Fuji & Mt. St. Helens rolls are also great! Very friendly family owned restaurant, I highly recommend this place! read more

Mio Sushi - I forgot to take a photo of all the food before eating bc I was so excited! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Mio has been my favorite sushi restaurant in Portland for the last 10 years. The fish is always fresh and is the most flavorful, while never tasting too fishy. It's both filling and light weight, I never feel too full after Mio, just happy. I've only ever ordered take out, but whenever I go in to pick up my order the service is always very friendly and the restaurant is clean. Sushi is my comfort food and Mio always puts me in a good mood. I'm never disappointed. My favorite rolls & nigiri are featured in the photos. read more

This is a satisfying all encompassing sushi restaurant. They have creative rolls, sashimi, nigiri and menu items for non sushi lovers. Some tried and true favorites are the NIKSAN roll, bloody vampire (if you like fried sushi ) the garlic salmon and the sweet salmon are so tasty, green muscles are an amazing appetizer (be sure to order early in your meal...they take time) I had yellowtail belly for the first time and really enjoyed it. They also have the best sake descriptions. Eating in I noticed a lot of single people at large 4 tops so it's probably good to call ahead for the wait or order out. They seem to have a really efficient system. I'll definitely be back. read more

Used to love this place but now all they give you are rolls of rice with tiny tidbits of tuna hidden somewhere in the middle. Not only have the prices jumped, the quality has fallen making this a no go moving forward...unless I want a rice roll. Avoid the bento boxes which come with rice rolls and a cup of rice on the side. Service is always nice. Ambiance, I always get to go. read more

We ordered take out. Paid cash and was missing a miso soup literally a 3.00 iteam and they wanted to dispute weather it was in the bag. Regardless the total was 80 plus a tip. Just make it right to the total of 3.00. Will never recommend or go back and will definitely tell my circle about the poor customer service. read more

The food was terrific and the service 2nd to none simply outstanding . My friend and I thoroughly enjoy ourselves. Thank you Mio Sushi read more

Always really great food. Tempura is amazing, especially the shrimp. I always get california rolls and they are awesome. I've also had the salmon bento box and that's a nice meal - comes with a little bit of everything. Highly recommend! read more

Good quality fresh sushi. I did not eat much but what I did ( California rolls) have tasted very fresh. The staff was very polite. I will be back here again. The customer service was great and food I can't wait to try the downtown/warehouse location I've heard it's even better. read more

So good. I swear I order from here like once a week now. My bank account is not happy about it but my tummy sure is. I enjoy the sushizza and think the Mt. Fuji roll is to die for. Can't wait to dine here in person. read more

We were craving some Sushi and decided to order Mio via Postmates. This was amidst the COVID-19 lockdown and 90% of our food delivery experiences had been sub-par. Mio did not disappoint and delivered the constituent quality we have been use to in precious dining experience. The favorites included the Dragon, Mt. Fuji, Tempura and Salmon Creek (the yakisoba was a 2.5 out of 5). While there are many Sushi choices (a few with a much better menu and in restaurant experience) across Portland, Mio is consistent in delivering quality. read more

The food is really REALLY well prepared and tasty. Their happy hour is awesome! Just don't go in there during happy hour, the current staff (12/22 currently, and the last 4 times I've been in...) makes it known they hate you for ordering happy hour. I've always tipped 30-40% because I can. And always will, but this place has such a depressing staff, I avoid it when I can. Plenty of places have good sushi around town, but this one is so convenient I keep ending up here. Never disappointed by the food. Always disappointed by the fact that their staff hates their job. read more

The woman that answer the phone was so rude! And didnt want to let me speak with the manager!! read more

Great spot for low key sushi. Always friendly and quick, been going for years now. Affordable and fun!

Customer service was awful made me feel very unwelcomed, the bigger blonde white lady was very rude to us when we sat down to think about what we wanted to eat. Would not recommend eating here maybe I'll try again once this certain lady is gone. read more

It's been a while since we were at our local Mio Sushi so we thought we would give it another shot (last visit was disappointing service - see previous review). Unfortunately they didn't deliver. The bento box was ok but at 13.95 it is starting to move into a high enough cost that I expect better. The worst was my husband's ramen. Take note - Mio Sushi does NOT know how to do ramen. It was served with half a hard boiled egg that was so over cooked I could see the grey edges around the yoke. Also it was just that: an ordinary hard boiled egg. It also came with 2 slices of chashu, one of which was inedible as it had no meat on it. It was just a slice of gelatinous fat. Noodles were also over cooked and left a gloopy feeling as it you ate it. We told the waiter who apologized and said he would tell the chef. No offer of a discount or anything. Overall, it did not meet good value nor good quality enough for us to justify visiting again. read more

We were lucky to snag the last table during lunch time since we noticed it was quite busy on a Monday afternoon, ok except the tables outside of the restaurant and some counter seating were still available. The $6.95 Bento lunch box is such a steal!! There was a really nice sizable salmon teriyaki, with a side of salad, lots of ginger and a huge 10-piece California roll with 2 pieces of vegetable gyoza! Something this calibre would have costs $10 in Mountain View or another other Bay area restaurants during lunch time. We also shared the cucumber salad and the ahi tuna salad and two pieces of Unagi nigiri and the bill came up to $17 without tips added yet. Cute lil restaurant in the northern part of Portland, friendly staff and a great and reasonably priced lunch menu! We are coming back! I want to try the tempura green tea ice-cream! :) They also accept to-go orders since we noticed other patrons coming in to pick up their orders. Update: We liked it so much, we had lunches two days in a row at this sushi joint! The bento box are certainly delicious and such a great deal! read more

This is by far the best Mio sushi location in Portland, I have been to them all.. and this one's ratio of fish to rice is the best, the rolls are slightly bigger and the rolls seem to be put together with more care + they torched the top of certain rolls, where other location leave it plain read more

Not good at all and mediocre at best. The sushi was pretty bland and not authentic and the presentation was sloppy- Im saying this based upon their price point. The service was pretty bad and the girl taking my order wasn't friendly- had an attitude. It's Portland so I typically don't expect anyone to be friendly, but when you're customer facing, always nice to be friendly and welcoming, even if you have to fake it. Won't be back. Overpriced, unfriendly service, and mediocre. read more

I'm surprised to see bad reviews here, but to each one's own. During my four years as a University of Portland student, my friends (and parents when they were in town) and I frequented Mio on Friday or Saturday nights when we wanted to get off campus. Although I had to wait in an area with limited space, I have never had an issues with service once my friends/family and I were seated. I always got the strawberry lemonade, and loved the addition of real strawberries. It was so good that I would take advantage of their free refills. :-) I also loved their "sushizzas," (sushi pizza) and have yet to see this item at other sushi restaurants. However, all the sushi I had is amazing and not super expensive considering that it is high quality. Still hungry after sushi? I'd recommend their green tea ice cream and key lime claypso. The key lime claypso is has the texture of mousse but not as rich as its chocolate cousin--although I may be biased as a key lime fan. :-) My friend turned me on to green tea ice cream, and given that I am not a green tea fan, my recommendation says a lot. Though I have mostly been here for dinner, a friend and I had lunch the day before I moved. The restaurant wasn't as crowded then, so if you want to avoid crowds and long waits, lunch is the time to go. I know some reviewers have compared this location to others, but I can't add my two cents as I have only been to the Killingsworth location. I miss Mio dearly since I left Portland after graduating in May 2012, and will come back should I find myself in Portland. read more

I've eaten here many times before and never had a problem, until today when I was greeted by a mouse upon walking into the establishment to pick up my to-go order. The nonchalant demeanor from the worker when I told her about it gave me an uneasy feeling that this has been something they've been dealing with. This whole experience has made me question their cleanliness. I will unlikely eat at this particular location ever again which is unfortunate as their sushi is pretty good. read more

Ordered to go so can't speak on service. Food wasn't anything special. Not very flavorful.

GREAT sushi and while they don't have coloring books or anything fancy, my five year old daughter had fun! The wait staff was very friendly and they even brought special chop-sticks so my daughter wouldn't feel left out! Dragon rolls aren't too hot, but VERY good! I highly recommend Mio for Sushi... Parking is a bit of a problem when this place is busy, but the food is worth walking a block! read more

Mio Sushi - Dragon Roll among others - Sushi Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

As sincerely as I can post this, I was so relieved to have a reliable sushi/Japanese restaurant to relieve all of the occasional Nihongo angst that builds within. To my rescue, a Mio Sushi up in NoPo, right off Greeley! Here, it can certainly get so busy, I'd waver to say the wait was worth it, if you got stiffed and was dealt an hour wait verdict...I mean, it's reliable all right, but I could also certainly drive downtown for a higher quality experience. And so, yes it was great that I could, instead, just place an order by phone, get down an exact time the food'd be ready, and approach the ingesting at home. My humble Asian opinion: sashimi is fresh enough, but not stellar. The portions are very decent, as are the prices. For me, though, what a joy to not fight the parking war in Nob Hill, circling like a dingbat to get as close to NW Johnson as I could, and just come here instead. If I was *really* ambitious, I actually could have ridden here too; another healthier (for me n for environment) option! read more

We ordered a spider, tempura and a crunch roll. We won't be ordering again neither from mio sushi nor thru Yelp. The total was just under $50 with all the fees & tip for food that was delivered twenty minutes late, super soggy like falling apart and flavorless. We didn't even eat but one bite each. They sent no soy or chili sauce, no chopsticks. The deep fried shrimp tempura was cold. I wonder how long the food was sitting. We contacted support and they offered 20% off the next order as if we want to try and waste some more money. Do yourself a favor and pass on this place. Who wants sushi that's flavorless, not fresh, and you have to wait the 30 min delivery window plus an extra 20 minutes? If you want to do that go for it, I guess. Also when they make a mistake be aware that they won't refund you for their mistake. read more

Our first time here, and though we would've liked to sit down and eat in we perfectly understand why we couldn't. We've seen plenty of people hanging around waiting for food so we had a reasonable expectation of decent food. And we weren't disappointed. We got a dbl crunch roll, and avacado and jalepeno sushi. All were really good and fresh. My wife and I are certainly glad to have finally tried this little spot and will most certainly be doing it again. read more

I was checking the Yelp page to see what time my favorite sushi place in the whole wide world closes. I was dismayed when I saw that this Mio location only had a 3 star rating. EVERY TIME we come here we are greeted with smiles & joy. The food is top notch, and they even gave us a free t-shirt on my birthday. We have never had a bad bite at this location, but if a 3 star review keeps all the haters away, we don't want your negativity anyway. We have never experienced long wait times here: it is definitely worth the visit. Shout out to Tank! read more

This place isn't for me. Very roll heavy. Nigiri fan here. Ordering system is a little odd but ultimately what I didn't enjoy was the food. The rolls I did get were too rice heavy thick thick roll of rice & little salmon. Not for me but maybe for you read more

We go here all the time! It's our local go to spot. The sushi is average and the staff is SO nice. They are quick with getting your order out, which is refreshing. I would get nigiri instead of a hand roll, they tend to put really fatty fish in the hand rolls. Our favorite specialty roll is the Mt. St. Helens, for its baked goodness. read more

I've been eating at Mio for many, many years at their various locations all over town. This one is, sadly, not the best. The sushi just seems to be worse, and the staff is not the same bright and cheerful group from different locations. I would probably just keep all this to myself as a fan of the brand, but they've dropped the ball on a couple delivery orders and, when you're sitting hungry at home waiting for your (1.5hrs) overdue food, it's just sucks. I can't recommend anyone go to this Mio location and, given the fact that there are many other locations and, for that matter, other sushi restaurants, DEFINITELY DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY FROM THIS ONE. read more

Great food! The calamari was nice and honestly the little white styrofoam looking crispy noodles are really good and fun to munch on afterward. Sushi combo pictured here I believe. Only concern is the service, it was fine given that it seemed only one or two waitresses were on the floor. She was great but it'd be nice if there were more help to attend to all the customers! read more

I always do sushi for my sons birthday and all special occasions we ordered over 100 bucks in rolls and the waitress would only give my son 2 little cups of spicy mayo he uses 2 cups worth when we dine in. Very upsetting why not give enough for the whole order. It's sushi time again and I don't think I will order take out form them again . Sushi is really good no complaints on that read more
