Bend, Oregon’s Best New Restaurants: Spring 2025 | Eater Portland

"Although located In Bend’s outlet mall, Ryoshi Sushi and Izakaya is more than a bite for a shopping break. It’s worth seeking out sushi at lunch or dinner. Non-sushi eaters can enjoy Japanese bento boxes, yakitori skewers, and other cooked fare. However, the spotlight is on sushi, particularly the seasonal fish flown in from Japan and listed on the specials board, like black rockfish, scorpion fish, or Japanese uni. Along with an exhaustive list of sashimi and nigiri, signature rolls go beyond the typical run-of-the-mill combinations. Take the pressed box style (no seaweed) Ryoshi Roll topped with seared and raw salmon, mild jalapeños, avocado, and masago. Their house-made soy sauce with added spices and sweetness and garlic edamame add flavorful twists and are best enjoyed alongside their extensive selection of sake and sake cocktails." - Barb Gonzalez
