Sushi Ichiban

Love the train. This is the best dive sushi around. The restaurant has been there for years, and a few of the chefs have been working there since early 2000. They have cheap eats on Wednesday and Saturday, so get there early. It used to be a line but not much anymore. Pull up at the bar, grab something from the train, and enjoy.

One of my favorite spots in Portland, truly. It’s owned by a family that all seem to work there at different shifts and the vibe shows it. It homey but chill and the food is always on point. Plus there’s a choo choo what could be better. Been coming here for years and I’m glad they survived the pandemic. Looking forward to coming here for many years to come.

Came in super hungry. The place was pretty full but we saw good reviews online. We waited a couple minutes for 3 seats and we hit the ground running. We got a heads up from the female server about the many tickets ahead of us, which we appreciated. We still sat down cause we were hungry and they had good reviews. I was so busy eating that I never even took pictures of the food. The little train was cute and brought by a refilling variety of different plates I wanted to try while we waited for our ticket. The servers got us out giant beer and even answered pointed sake questions for our friend. We left so full and the quality of food was delicious. We liked the seared salmon. I liked the caterpillar roll. Always a mackerel fan. The karaage we ordered from the kitchen was also delicious. Thank you!
