Editorial Review for Le Hana Japanese Bar & Grill – by Elizabeth Lopeman
In Short
This fusion spot features clean architectural lines and is located in one of Portland's environmentally friendly buildings on the waterfront. Diners will find original combinations wrapped up with rice in a traditional nori roll style. The caprese roll spins together the Italian summer favorite with clear rice. The broiled yellow tail offers a more substantial fix. There's an excellent selection of sake and domestic and French wines. For dessert, the gorgonzola cheesecake is a must.

I like this place the best by far and I have tried all of the sushi bars in Portland. I have been to Japan and traveled to New York and California and had the best. The place is great! Good sushi, great drinks, great service and great atmoshpere... I would call it "Best in Portland". Happy hour is great too..
Pros: It is all good..
Cons: None

First, let me say that this was some of the best sushi I have had in town. The La Hana roll is to die for! That alone is the reason I'm considering going back. The Tokyo Ice Tea did just what the menu said it would - knocked me off my feet! And also but me in a good enough mood not to leave the restaurant. On this night, my husband and I were going to see the Cirque du Soleil show; we gave ourselves an hour and a half for dinner and drinks, which under any other circumstances is plenty of time. Our food at La Hana took over an hour. My sushi roll came 20 minutes before my husbands stuffed pork. They said the pork took longer to cook, but I've grilled pork...it does not take an hour to cook, not even close. Besides, his pork was completely uncooked on one end. It's hard for me to recommend this restaurant because I don't think you should ever wait over an hour for your food and you should be able to dine together (get your food at the same time). Time after time, my husband and I watched people walk out in a huff before they their food arrived, so I know we weren't alone in our experience. We watched people finish their drinks, complain to their waiters, and go. Nothing we received was at a discount or on the house, but it should have been.
Pros: OK street parking
Cons: very long wait for food
