I’d like to know your favorite sushi spots in Portland (doesn’t matter which neighborhood). I think my favorite so far is Zilla. I’m curious about Nimblefish, but I’ve read several complaints that the portions are tiny and not worth the cost. I also like Yama and Mirakutei. I’ve been to Bamboo and while it’s tasty, I’m not impressed.
Yama Sushi on Clinton has quickly risen to the top of our ranks. I'm no sushi connoisseur by any means, but I've found it to be a combination of great quality, accessible, pleasant ambiance, decent prices, and maybe even a bit excessive selection-wise. Seriously. They come out and hit you with like five different menus right off the bat.
I don't have any problems with Bamboo, but like many places in Portland, it falls into a category of "good, but overrated".
Totally agreed on Yama. I don’t care for most of the rolls and the options are almost overwhelming on that front, but the fish is good quality, service is good, and, like you said, prices are decent.
