Tiny portions, high prices, nigiri rice falling apart, maki not properly wrapped, server wearing gym shorts, lousy communication between servers. Never ever again.

We were staying across the street and saw the line out the door. It’s such a small unassuming place, that we probably would have missed it. We were able to make a late reservation. We ordered the nigiri and their special role. Everything tasted fresh and melted in your mouth. A small mom and pop type of place with amazing fresh food.

Food is amazing, the space is small so it took us wait for a bit to have our table ready for us, but the food totally made up for the wait! Highly recommend Kama, best I’ve had in the city, definitely top three Japanese bistro in Portland. Reservation ahead is highly recommended.

This is our favorite izakaya place in Portland. Our favorite dishes are the duck, the fried fish collar, and all of the pickled items. If you want a kaiseki meal, they have almost all the appropriate dishes on the menu, and they can help you get the right sequence of dishes. Their selection of sake is excellent, too. Just ask for recommendations.

FAQs

Yes, Akizawa Sushi's intimate, cozy dining room, attentive service and curated sake selection make it a lovely choice for a special evening, and guests have visited for anniversaries.

Akizawa Sushi feels like a small, intimate downtown izakaya, cozy and authentic with a sushi bar, a prominent wall of sake, and Japanese antiques that give it a homey, focused vibe; seating is compact, so reservations help.

Business casual is the guide, aim for neat, polished clothes rather than formalwear.

At Akizawa Sushi, some dishes are substantial, reviewers note the chawanmushi is "good-sized to share with 2-3, " and the pork/tonkatsu is described as filling.
