Sushi Takahashi 2

Best train sushi in Portland. When I was a PSU student, I was so happy that a second Sushi Takahashi opened near campus. Sushi Takahashi (now Sushi Iciban) on Broadway & Burnside was a bit far away. I've been to several different train sushi restaurants (Sushiville, Sushi-go-round, and Marineopolis), and this is the best cheap sushi in Portland. They even had some local albacore tuna from Ilawco, Oregon and fresh Oregon crab this past summer. The salmon is always good, and the chef is awesome and friendly!

Try the seared salmon and watch the chef whip out the blow torch. The takahashi roll is also excellent. The mochi ice cream is always fresh, unlike other places that serve it with crunchy outsides (yuck!). I have a vegetarian friend who likes the diverse veggie sushi. Two people can leave completely stuffed for $25.…

Perfect sushi night out!. My cons are really reaching. I love Sushi Takahashi 2! 4 blocks from PSU campus and priced perfectly to get full from QUALITY sushi (unlike another place closer to PSU). Very akin to the "old" Sushi Takahashi on Broadway and Couch, only less punk rock (but sometimes I like the punk rock ;) ).…

Don't leave Portland with out stopping by. I'm a big fan of kaiten-zushi, which is conveyor belt style sushi. I have only been to the Sushi Takahashi in NW near the park blocks. You will usually get seated promptly and the train with all the plates on it is really cute. I've seen it derail, detach from 1/2 of the cargo and people always manage to put little notes on it that say hello or something goofy. When I lived in Portland, I was a regular for the whole 6 years I stayed in Oregon. Now when I visit, I will always stop by this place and throw down some cash. Cheap plates, good sake and the waitresses are awesome. The atmosphere is definitely eclectic and non pretentious. Worth a visit be it for lunch or dinner.…
