Yoko's Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar

The Best Sushi Restaurants in Portland and its Suburbs | Eater Portland

"Gladstone institution Yoko’s has held a cult following for decades, delightfully old-school with a range of reasonably priced nigiri and elaborate maki. Yoko’s offers a wide selection of salmon, from ikura to skin to smoked, as well as fan favorites like the poki roll: ahi and seared albacore over a cucumber-avocado roll. Non-purists can get experimental with options like the Ruben’s Special — smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber — or the spicy Thai roll with shrimp, cucumber, broccoli, and peanut sauce." - Zoe Baillargeon

Where to Eat and Drink in Portland’s Creston-Kenilworth Neighborhood | Eater Portland

"A favorite of Reedies and neighborhood “townies” since 1989, Yoko’s is a no-nonsense Japanese restaurant that focuses on fresh, affordably priced sashimi and gimmick-free rolls as well as tasty tempura, donburi, and other hot options. The understated, wood-heavy dining room is highlighted by a small salt-water aquarium. Yoko’s is only open four hours per night and does not take reservations, so consider grabbing a drink at next-door C-Bar if there’s a wait. Yoko’s does not offer takeout." - Nathan Williams
