The 38 Essential Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland

"When identifying Portland’s “essential” restaurants, it seems only fitting to include Murata, downtown’s Japanese stalwart. Since 1988, Portlanders have stepped into its tatami rooms for dinners of miso soup, tonkatsu, and broiled mackerel, pots of soothing zosui filled with ribbons of egg, chirashi sporting generous slices of salmon and scallop. Murata is old-school in the best way, a style of Japanese restaurant becoming rarer and rarer with time; sitting in its dining room, mulling over crispy tempura or chicken teriyaki, induces a reinvigorating nostalgia hard to find elsewhere." - Eater Staff
