I should have paid more attention and got this lol
Jennifer S.

Lunch special seems like the way to go. I enjoyed what i did get very much. Everything was made right there to include the cucumber salad. Two people working the place and they seemed to know everyone who came in and ordered Ill go back.

This TINY mom & pop sushi shop is located in downtown Portland. There is limited outdoor seating only, but I noticed most people get their order to go. A sweet elderly Japanese couple runs the whole show, so please be patient and kind! While there's a bit of a wait during the lunch rush, if you've got the time it's worth the wait. Each roll is handmade by the wife, and the husband helps support her behind the counter. The fish and rice are high quality and I was impressed with how fresh everything was. The prices were also very reasonable (~$11-14 per roll). As a salmon lover I opted for the Mizu Sushi and Lion Roll. The size of the salmon pieces were generous and so buttery. The cucumber and scallion provided the perfect refreshing crunch to balance out the fish. I'll be back Mizu!

We ordered 3 rolls for ~$25 total which is very affordable. The fish quality is pretty good for the price. I would say the only con is their limited and sometimes uncertain hours.

Oregon roll

This place was so cute! I came on a break on my first day of jury duty. It's very small, with room for only maybe 3-4 people to sit. There's a short L counter and one table. But the sushi I had was good! I've been doing Japanese on Duolingo but couldn't really speak anything yet. I've been learning some hirigana and was excited to share my post with the hirigana for sushi: すし I had an Oregon roll, a spicy tuna roll, and a cucumber salad. It was a little too much food for one person but I find every sushi place is a little different. Sometimes the roll will be 4 pieces, 6 pieces, 8 pieces, or be tiny little pieces. The cucumber salad has sesame seeds and sushi vinegar and my cucumber was very crunchy and ripe that day! I would go back if I was in the area!

Small sushi spot close by the waterfront. Stopped by for takeout and took about 15 mins or so for order to be ready, which wasn't bad at all. The restaurant itself is very small and I would not recommend dining in - just order to-go. The only thing knocking off a star is that, when I asked if they had tamago on their menu (or could prepare it), the lady looked at me like a chicken with its head cut off. Every sushi place I had been to previously had it on their menu and I didn't think it was too obscure of a question, but I guess I was wrong. Oh, well. The sushi itself was very good quality and I enjoyed it a lot. I'll definitely be back!

Avocado Vegetable Roll

This hidden gem is a whole in the wall. It's right next to my work and easy when I need quick food. It's counter service and there isn't really too much seating but you can take your roll to the park on the next block to enjoy. The only reason why I give this place 4 stars in because I don't eat fish so I never feel like I'm a good judge of any sushi spot but I do believe it will be worth your time!

For me, hole in the wall spots are usually reserved for taco places across town with the occasional comfort food and little mom and pop place outside of town. I will say, a hole in the wall sushi spot is a new one on me, but what a welcome find. Now, to be fair, I have been here a few times, but just to pick up food since I do food delivery part time. I'd never eaten here before but the sushi always looked great. I also liked that it was one person doing everything. The space itself is probably smaller than the coat closet at the Ringside Steakhouse, so... cozy. There is a small amount of counter seating and during the warmer months there are some tables outside. But one woman is running the show and what I had was simply tasty and very inexpensive. Now from other reviews, a daughter helps out from time to time and on my visit, there was a man that was assisting but she takes care of all the sushi. To start off, there are two combo options that are both cheap and filling for a light lunch. I went with option one for $10.95 which had a crunchy roll with tuna, a spicy tuna roll and two pieces of nigiri (salmon and snapper). Everything was prepared well and so fresh. The wasabi had some kick to it. I also had to get some unagi nigiri (mine and my daughter's favorite) and some yellowtail nigiri that had a real depth of flavor. I actually enjoyed the taste of that the best. The are plenty of other rolls to try plus some hot options. They are limited on the fish choices, but what you get is great. I highly recommend stopping by here and I do plan on coming back many more times. Support local. Enjoy.

The intimate 3-seat counter in this tiny restaurant allows for you to really engage with the sushi chef; this woman not only made me the best California & spicy tuna roll but she educated me on the actual current temperature in my home of Los Angeles, CA. Misu has a very authentic feel, the fish is fresh & chilled well & the miso soup is hot. We really enjoyed our time & food here but it was also the first time I finished my food before my boyfriend finished his & he won't stop carrying weights around the house & telling me how strong he is since we got home from Misu

Rainbow Roll Special with salmon inside with California roll $11.99!
Vivian L.

A little hole in the wall that has great customer service and great sushi at a great price!!! I am so glad we stumbled upon this place. I highly recommend this eatery to any one passing through, visiting, or lives in Portland who loves eating sushi. I usually order the Rainbow Roll and saw a Rainbow Roll Special on their menu. With this menu item you can choose any assorted fish on top and any assorted fish inside with California Roll (avocado, cucumber, imitation crab) for only $11.99! I would not come here with a large group. They only have about four chairs and the place is very small. I would go with a friend or order to go.

Amazing sushi. Would highly recommend! Had time to quickly grab something while here on a work trip. Did not disappoint.

What kind of business model is that?! How do they even stay in business? It's all quality and fresh fish (see pictures posted). I did not expect the level of quality I tasted with an unlimited menu. The sashimi did have a 3 piece limit per fish per person. The market specials have a 4 piece limit per round. Our servers were quick to take our orders for our unlimited session following our omakase. The chefs also prepared them quickly so they were able to keep up! No mention of a time limit either, though we came on a Wednesday night so it was not busy. Our servers encouraged us to order more and asked if we were sure that we're all done. I would definitely come back because it was such an amazing deal for the level of quality.

TLDR: fish tasted watered down where it's the wateriness from being frozen long/thawing…read moreincorrectly. Not worth the price unless you have a hole in your stomach for the volume. Made a reservation here for Sunday 1pm doing their Omakase 1.0 for $110/pax. I did my research and read all the reviews and thought to give it a go. When we arrived, we were greeted and seated after they confirmed our reservation. But they didn't ask if this was our first time or we knew anything about the omakase buffet and just went straight into getting it started. Even though on their website reads complimentary soda with the omakase, they didnt even ask/told us and just served us only iced water. The omakase has a 13 items omakase fixed menu, then AYCE for you to order (sashimi section per person max 3 slices each). Market Special is unlimited but only 4 at a time each order but unlimited rounds of order within your 2 hours. Some tasted decent but definitely not for quality. Fish are definitely not fresh and very frozen (i know "culinary grade" sashimi such as Salmon calls for flash frozen for 3 days at industrial temperature), but this is definitely not that. You can taste the fish is very watery and lack of taste due to low quality fish being frozen long and/or thawed incorrectly. But if you read all the comments that called it great and quality has never had quality sushi/sashimi before. Their nigiri rice to fish ratio was great though as other AYCE has an insane amount of rice. So if you ever had any good quality sushi/sashimi japanese cuisine, look away. If you just want bang for your buck for volume, then you can consider. But after tips and tax you are looking at $150/persons so probably this wont be it. Inside of the restaurant looks nicely decorated with the ceiling all covered with sakura and some warmth and mood light here and there.

From sushi, to noodles and rice dishes, there's something for everyone. The service was excellent…read moreand the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. 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!

Been sleeping on this spot for sure! The outside looks a bit dingy but inside is decorated with…read moreJapanese interior. They got modern and traditional booth seatings for you to choose from. Menu is filled with rolls, appetizers, and ramens. We tried two ramens and they're some of the best we've had in town! Noodles were well-cooked, both the thin and thick ones. 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.

She immediately reassured me that it was no problem at all, wrote down every single ingredient, and got it PERFECT. Exactly what I wanted!! I really appreciated how happy she was to help instead of making me feel like I was being difficult. My boyfriend ordered the Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Firecracker Roll, and he especially LOVED the Firecracker. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, came out quickly, and was super filling. The quality definitely makes the price worth it. The restaurant also has such a nice vibe -- perfect for a cute, casual date night. I honestly have zero complaints. Great service, great quality, delicious sushi, and everything came out perfectly. I'm so happy we stumbled across this place because it's a little tucked away and easy to pass by.

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.
