The best sushi I've had. Restaurant is very clean with great service. Sushi is very fresh and I really enjoy that the sushi is on a conveyor belt. read more

Always consistent and delicious sushi, highly recommend the Gina roll! The couple running the restaurant are so kind, and always remember our kids orders. Highly recommend. read more

When I came here, I was hoping to grab just a quick bite and it's a decent stop. Walking into the joint, there's so much decor and it somewhat transports you to a cozy, beautiful Japanese spot. The service was quick and very sweet. For those two alone, I thought it was exceptional. The food however, left a lot to be desired. I ordered sake and toro nigiri, an Oregon roll, and takoyaki. I was super excited for the takoyaki so when I was greeted with bonito-less, scarce sauce, and a lackluster plate, I was disappointed. The takoyaki ball itself was alright, but without its complements it doesn't offer much. I've never been to a place that does their takoyaki like this. On the other hand, their rolls were standard. Presentation was okay, and quality was also alright. The thing to note is that whenever ordering nigiri (at least when I went), they didn't have a lot of the options they listed on the menu which was a bit frustrating. Overall, although it's very cute inside and the service was nice, the food doesn't offer anything special and I most likely won't be coming back. read more

The service is family owned, and this is a local's hidden gem. The fish is so fresh, melts in my mouth like butter. The ambience is classy yet casual. This is the best sushi spot I've found in town so far! read more

Really friendly staff that accommodated my keto diet. I was able to substitute miso soup for sugary salad. They were great!

Came here thinking it was Motto Motto - Revolving Sushi Bar but decided to sit down and try this place anyways. Service was polite and the restaurant was fairly tidy and inviting. The tempura appetizer was pretty good except for the sweet potato. It was a bit undercooked and crunchy. For the price and amount, I thought it was not worth the value. The nigiris had thin yet long cuts of fish. Decent fish freshness and quality but also quite pricey for the nigiri. The house special roll was also decent but the nori they used to make the roll was a little tough and chewy. All the food came at a slow pace even though there was only one group of 2 people at the restaurant when we arrived. More groups started coming in after we ordered but still felt like there was a delay in getting the orders out. read more

For conveyor belt sushi this is pretty good. A little bit more on the pricier side but good quality sushi. There's many options to choose from the conveyer belt or you can order what you want from their menu. Once you make an order a little train delivers the order directly to you. I got a bunch of things but I really enjoyed their takoyaki, it was piping hot. The unagi and seared salmon was good as well as other rolls they had. Overall good experience here and will be back when I was done sushi read more

Sushi Moto - Rainbow and Dragon.. the new double team - Japanese Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

On a positive note, the waitress was amazing. Very attentive, and very friendly. I couldn't ask for more. Unfortunately, the food absolutely sucked! I normally don't use such terms to describe my meal, but this was not only over priced, it was just horrible. Everything felt expired. I actually spit out the shrimp on my shrimp nigiri. Nothing tasted fresh. No smooth, buttery texture. Even the seaweed salad and cabbage salad was not up to the standards of many sushi restaurants. The hot green tea was not hot. Nothing was good. The atmosphere was dark. Even at lunchtime, it was impossible to read the menu without using my iPhone flashlight. Bottom line, great service, but horrible food. read more

Wish I could give 2.5 stars because they do have good miso soup and good tempura appetizers. Sadly, all of the sushi is bad. Mostly mushy rice and the fish is shaved super thin. When you take a bite of your sushi roll, all you taste is rice. Also, I gave the poki bowl a chance, $20 for mostly rice, a very small portion of fish, some sad wilted cabbage and NO avocado! Very false advertising, That poki bowl honestly shouldn't have been more than $8. The staff is nice, but the food is subpar and over-priced. read more

My hubby and 2 year old come here quite often and get the same thing everytime haha. I'd say we come weekly. It's delicious as always :) The owner is extremely nice! read more

I can't rate based on their sushi, as we ordered only yakisoba noodles. But I definitely expected better given that their prices are high. $19 for a single portion of chicken yakisoba noodles?? we've definitely had better! It was a small portion and no veggies added, just chicken on top. We did not like it very much. read more

Friendly staff and very clean. Appreciate a sit down establishment with a sushi bar and not "conveyer belt" sushi, which seems to frequent Portland. My favorite was the agedashi tofu, which I try at every Jap restaurant as a staple and they make it right here. These are the pluses for me here. The downsides: it's way too quiet inside and the commercial space echoes all the noises. Suggest they play music? My biggest complaint is the fish. We ordered the large sashimi plate and most of the fish had the previously frozen taste. It also wasn't cut correctly. There's an art to cutting fish and even on a separate tataki plate we ordered, the slices appeared ripped not cut. Really didn't like the siracha on the tataki fish plate. read more

Good sushi, miso soup and service. Enjoy the friendly staff. We had a large take out sushi order for a party. Ordering and pickup was easy.

Great service, really nice interior/ambiance, and the food was delicious!!! So nice to have a Japanese restaurant that's more than just teriyaki. read more

We tried this place yesterday and are not impressed. The train that delivers the food is what brought us in, but the sushi and service definitely made us want to leave. The waiters were not friendly and seemed annoyed when we'd ask for basic necessities ie to order food, sauce plates for wasabi and ginger. There's a QR code to order and look at the menu but doesn't work, so you need to waive down a waiter to place an order. The sushi is nothing special and overpriced. Two pieces of skinny seared salmon is almost $5. The rolls are very small. They taste fresh, but I don't think the $40 tab for 2 people that honestly were not that full was worth it. read more

Love this place. Just a small, simple place. They don't have a lot of extravagant rolls, but everything is fresh and flavorful and the atmosphere is laid back and friendly. This is our favorite place to go for a sushi fix! read more

Incredible sushi and such a lovely, kind staff. This is not a sushi carousel place. It's family run so sometimes you do have to be patient for your food, but it's worth it! read more

Sure sad, but not as good as in the past. I have been going here for at least a year and I really like the owners, but Sushi is expensive and difficult to make fresh and delicious all the time. read more

According to the sign in the door, the restaurant is short of staff. The hours are limited, but when you get in, you are in for a treat

I placed an order to-go and paid over the phone and then I had something come up last minute. I told them I needed to cancel my order and apologized for the inconvenience and they told me I had to come pick it up. I told them there was no way I could. They then proceeded to hang up on me. I wasn't going to ask for a refund but after that treatment I did. I will never order from this place ever again. read more

I was afraid to try this restaurant because they are always empty, but I decided to give them a try since they are in business for a while. I shouldn't give them a chance, low quality fish with overpriced foods. Nigiri with paper thin fish and sever couldn't even get an order right. I'm serious, I didn't know that fish can be see thru. Fish was so old it came dry, and even ginger was old(it was brown). I ordered chefs choice sushi, sashimi, and rolls but you served with us chefs garbage. read more

Best Sushi! Quality fish, beautiful presentation, and just the right bite size nigiri! And to top it off, super nice owners. A hidden gem in Happy Valley. read more

Sushi Moto - Creamy Scallops, Tobiko, Ama Ebi, Sake, Ama Ebi Fried heads.... Hot sake! - Japanese Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

Tried this place out while in the area and was really disappointed. Nobody else was there but the service was still really slow. They prioritized phone orders over us so people were picking up their orders while we waited. - Rolls are really small. Even the special rolls that cost $12+ are tiny and the size of your typical $6 California roll - Super tiny pieces of fish for both nigiri and rolls. Mostly imitation crab and rice - Fish wasn't bad but not the freshest We paid $50 for food and weren't even full or satisfied so we just gave up and left. Do not recommend. - read more

This place wonderful! Clean, kind staff, DELICIOUS food! So glad they are close to home!

This place should be renamed Sushi Slow Mo. we live nearby and have been wanting to try this place. First time we came by they saw us and went to the back room but didn't come back out. We waited there for a solid 3 minutes and said alright let's try someplace else. No other customers were in the place. The second time we came by they seated us. We waited even longer than the first time. No water, no anything. Kept waiting so we said we don't have the time to wait if they are going to be this slow. Again, not a single customer in the place. Why we tried a third time I don't know but we decided to give it one more try. My husband arrived before me. The Chef came out and gave my husband a menu to look over while waiting for me. I arrive a couple of minutes later. There is one other couple in the restaurant. We're waiting, and waiting ... and waiting. We can hear them talking in the back. I asked my husband have they come back out between the time you were given a menu and now? He said they had not. We waited five minutes and said alright we're done trying with this place. It's unfortunate because I truly have no idea how this place stays open. read more

Slowest service ever, extremely understaffed, waited for probably 5 min to even be addressed, 20 min to get seated (there were just plenty of empty tables but all dirty) and another 15 to order food. I think they seriously only has 2 people, the chef and server. Food was good though, so if you go here order to go and wait a while before picking up read more

I tried calling this place to make a big order for my family of 6 who looove sushi, I asked for one thing on the menu from the woman who answered, then asked for no masago, she literally yelled "NO " at me and hung up! I thought to myself "self, maybe that was an accident " as I also work in customer service and am so friendly and kind. So I called her back. She didn't pick up! My husband was like what the heck, and he called from his phone, SHE ANSWERED HIS CALL! I am absolutely shocked at what just happened and how rude this woman is! That's fine I'll take my business elsewhere! read more

We have eaten here many times, and takeout this last year, and never disappointed! The food is outstanding, the restaurant is clean, service is prompt, and very friendly. Portions are very large, which I do know how they can with supply prices through the roof. Since we enjoy Sushi Moto so much we will continue to sample their many wonderful dishes read more

I tried to called the restaurant to order something for pick up through Yelp, I called 5times, and four other times got hung up immediately when they pick up the phone, the fifth time finally someone talk to me, but when I told her about my phone calls got hung up by someone, she didn't feel sorry or anything saying that they will improve their service, she just told me that yes, someone is there to pick up the phone, I said I got hung up 4 times! She said oh, she doesn't know anything, and I told her I just want to tell her not to hung up customer's phone call I will make order next time, and you know what, she hung up immediately! What a rude service! I will not try this place anymore! read more

The food was good, fast and fresh. The establishment is clean. We went for Boy's Day and my sone enjoyed his food. All the guys enjoyed their food. The portions were healthy and we protein eaters were more than satisfied. A mix of Japanese and Korean meat dishes, makes this a good pick for us. The prices were appropriate. read more

I like going to Divine for frozen yogurt, so when I saw this new establishment finally open for business, I went to try it out for the first time with my friend. We came around 7:00PM, and it was busy for dinner time. It was comforting to see this because it must mean the food is good, right? We were seated at the bar, which was nicely decorated with blue Ikea LED lights around the beer, wine and sake bottles. The menu was fairly straightforward, with sushi roll creations (with pictures), bento box combinations, rice bowls, noodle bowls and their family dinner combinations. We decided to take a closer look at their family dinner combinations as it was noted that "each person gets a miso soup and salad" and the combination choices ranged from $15-$40. We decided to go with the $35 combo, with a picture that depicted quite a feast. When our miso soup and salad came, we were surprised that only ONE person gets the miso soup and salad. We pointed out that sentence about "each person gets a miso soup and salad" to our clueless waitress but she said that it meant that "the other person can order an extra miso soup and salad". WTF? So why even put that on your damn menu about each person getting a soup and salad (if ordering off the family combination selections)?! I'm not crazy about miso soup and salad, but it's about being consistent with what is SAID on your menu! There was an awkward 30 minute delay between getting the miso soup and salad (which by the way is just iceberg lettuce cut up in small pieces sprinkled with thousand island sauce) and our first plate of hot food from the family combination. It seemed that everyone else around us were also waiting for their food as well (which is probably why the place looked busy...everyone was waiting for their food!). The first plate of hot food was the beef ribs (galbi) and tonkatsu (bread fried pork) on the same plate. We thought it was weird that they didn't bring out the rice at the same time, as the menu said it included rice. We decided to just give them the benefit of the doubt and just wait. The second plate of our family combo was the sashimi plate. Still no rice, so we asked another clueless waitress (that brought us the food). She said that the sashimi plate concludes our family combo. We asked for her manager and the manager came over. The manager asked if we got our rice and we said no, to which she said she will be "right back with rice". She came back and give us a small rice bowl of rice and proceeded to tell the clueless waitresses that the family combos DID come with rice. So let's break it down. For $35.95, even though it says on menu that EACH person at your table gets a miso soup and salad, you get only ONE soup and salad. You get about 5 pieces of beef ribs, a slab of bread-fried pork, and a plate of sashimi. The taste was mediocre at best. If you are venturing in, don't let the images fool you. If ordering off the family combinations, you will only get half of what you see in the pictures! Oh, and by the time we left, there were still people waiting for their food. Great location, nice ambiance but clueless waitresses, ridiculous wait times and misleading menu. read more

This is one of the better quality sushi/bento places in the area. The rating suffers a little bit due to the service and the ridiculous amount of plastic they use when you do take away. The sushi, shrimp tempura and the gyoza are or go to dishes to get here. My favorite happens to be the beef bugogi entree, where they serve you a mountain of meat with a side of rice. Be prepared to ask for extra rice and to either share or take some food home. (Side note: a lot of these places seem to serve both Japanese and Korean food. Before anyone brings it up, yes I know bugogi is Korean) All that being said, don't attempt to come here if you're in a hurry. It feels very understaffed and the lady (whom I presume to be the owner) seems to be doing 3 things at once at all times. It sometimes takes over 30 minutes from ordering to receiving your food. Again I'm thinking staffing might be a problem. Lastly, because I'm a basic environmentalist hippie, ordering take away makes me cry a little bit on the inside. Everything is in styrofoam boxes, the sauces are all in little plastic containers, you get a handful of soy sauce and plastic utensils and it's all bagged (sometimes double bagged) with plastic. I don't know how to avoid getting all this plastic aside from just not doing takeaway all together. But yeah, if they can fix the staffing and be a little more "woke" when it comes to being eco friendly, I will gladly award an extra star. read more

I think this place is a new favorite! My waitress was fast, friendly, and didn't rush me (I came here for some quiet time on "Mommy's Night Off"). The miso soup was fantastic and the sushi rolls were beautiful and yummy. The place wasn't overly crowded (I went in at 7:30 on a Friday), but, stayed busy. I sat at a table with my book, but, if you sit at the bar, you can watch the sushi chef make all the orders. If you have someone with you who doesn't like sushi, they'll still be happy! They serve bento boxes and have several cooked options including teriyaki chicken and kids' meals. As far as take out, probably a dozen people came in to pick up orders while I was there (I understand why! The food is great!). read more

Went to restaurant approximately 2 hrs before closing, the last table left so we were the only table in restaurant on a sunday night . We ordered the fried appetizer and the Sushi and Sashimi combo. The appetizer was just OK, the miso soup was luke warm , not hot. The combo was just OK nothing special . The plate looked to large made portion look small. I believe eating sushi is an experience and presentation counts. . The service was good and staff was friendly . For the price I think should be better read more
