"On a gorgeous spring day, the chirashi bowl hit the super-fancy picnic-food note perfectly: vibrant cuts of King salmon, lightly seared albacore, lean tuna, real snow crab, and glistening scallops, among others, served atop sushi rice alongside a pickled wasabi sauce that the reviewer says she "could put on literally everything moving forward." The write-up urges diners to "go ahead and add the $10 uni supplement; it’s well worth it," calling it a celebratory way to mark having "made it through the winter." — Erin DeJesus, executive editor" - Brenna Houck
"From torched albacore nigiri to maximalist stuffed rolls crammed with snow crab and tempura shrimp, go simple or big at this open, airy joint just off Northwest 23rd. With most rolls, nigiri, and sashimi in the $5 to $10 range, it’s a reasonably priced spot for lunch or dinner. But it’s also worth splashing out for the chef’s selection chirashi or moriawase spreads with Alaskan ikura, snow crab, and luxe add-ons like Hokkaido uni." - Zoe Baillargeon
"This bright, casual sushi spot regularly features seasonal specials, with a small-but-mighty sake selection and a variety of pokes. Vegetarians will find a handful of nice fish-free rolls, made with things like roasted beets or pickled radish; fish eaters should keep an eye out for bluefin nigiri when in season, as well as the restaurant’s generous servings of uni sashimi." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"The Nob Hill sushi restaurant previously announced its closure on November 1, citing COVID cases, heatwaves, repeated break-ins, and more, but has reopened as of December 1. The counter service restaurant will streamline its menu offerings for efficiency, and will put an increased focus on seasonal ingredients and specials. Fish and Rice was opened by Michigan expats Peter Hermann and Jesse Sweet in 2018, with an affordable menu of poke, sushi rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and more." - Janey Wong
"Fish & Rice is a Northwest Portland gem, with inexpensive rolls of top-notch sushi right at the edge of Portland’s sprawling Forest Park. Fish & Rice’s not-quite-poke bowls, raw fish tossed with things like basil oil or mango, are best enjoyed in Portland’s International Rose Test Garden, a five-minute drive from the restaurant. Hot tip: Cooler backpacks full of ice help even sushi survive a quick hike on Forest Park’s Wildwood Trail. Fish & Rice is open for takeout and delivery." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
