Mizu Sushi Bar

Some of the best sushi I've ever had. We tried the Mizu roll, the shrimp tempera roll, the eel roll, the Oregon roll, plus salmon sashimi and salmon nigiri. We love yellowtail, and the Mizu roll especially was right up our alley. They put their own twist on the shrimp tempera roll which we enjoyed a lot. I recommend the eel roll if you're a fan of eel. The Oregon roll wasn't my favorite of the ones we tried but was still very tasty. Generous cuts of fish for the sashimi and nigiri. The dine-in experience was excellent when we visited in the later afternoon, but slightly claustrophobic inside - seating is very limited so it wouldn't have been possible to do if it had been any busier. I liked that they didn't wait for all the rolls to be ready before starting to serve them. Overall a great value. We've only visited once, but if they can consistently deliver the kind of excellent service we received, they really deserve to charge more!

A small sushi joint in downtown Portland, with really good food at great prices! The specialty are of course the sushi rolls. While not extraordinary, they are amazing for the price, and service and vibe are outstanding. There's limited indoor seating (mostly outside), but either is cozy, if a bit cramped if you're accompanied. But if you're by yourself and want some good Japanese food, by all means it's worth visiting.
