Outstanding experience. Every single thing we ordered from the menu was really good with a notable mention to the Black Cod Misosuke (medium plate), the sunomono which comes with a couple of small pieces of octopus and salmon (small plate). In terms of rolls we ordered the Transformer and the Japanista, contrasting flavors which paired really well to share. We will be back to this downtown gem !

Fantastic food, fun atmosphere, and informative on ingredient sourcing. The chef is happy to answer any questions you have about the food, even pays attention to which hand dominant you are to orient the fish, and engages the entire crowd. The sommelier pays attention to your glass, informs you about the different liquors, and all while assisting anyone with what they need. In short; fun, attentive, intimate, yet still relaxed.

The best octopus in all of Portland. I try Octopus everywhere and its never prepared properly(octopus needs to be massaged). Excellent Sashimi; 3 of us shared a plater that was only $36!
