"When it comes to flexing, this Pearl District sushi bar knows what it’s doing. Yes, it has seared A5 wagyu nigiri. Yes, it has both Japanese and California sea urchin. Yes, it has surf clams, spot prawns, and a full gradient of tuna cuts. Yes, it has packed-to-bursting specialty rolls like the Portland Timber with salmon-topped spicy albacore, cucumber, and avocado. It’s worth it to splurge on the full omakase (starting at $135), which is a parade of raw and slightly seared delights." - Zoe Baillargeon
"This Northwest Johnson Japanese restaurant is best known for its sushi, including an extensive selection of fish from the famed Toyosu fish market, a wide range of omakase options, and intricate maki including favorites like rainbow rolls. The kitchen, however, churns out quite a few hot snacks, including deep-fried squid tentacles, grilled yellowtail collar, Snake River Farms Kobe beef skewers, and brown sugar short ribs. The bar specializes in sake, including flights." - Thom Hilton
