Knockout Sushi Restaurants in Portland and Beyond

"From the same owners as Portland sushi standby Mirakutei, this downtown sushi restaurant not only offers Oregon Dungeness sashimi and a variety of salmon and mackerel cuts; it also heads into inventive territory, topping maki with garlic butter or yuzu tobiko. Start with the restaurant’s distinctive ponzu “ceviche,” before opting for a salmon flight — a round of salmon belly, salmon aburi, ocean trout, and wild sockeye nigiri. Those who love the super-involved rolls should finish with the Pacific NW roll, which tops Dungeness crab and spicy albacore with more albacore, pesto, tempura, and eel sauce." - Seiji Nanbu, Janey Wong
