No longer at this location..

by tylerpdx

I was looking for a new sushi place to try and wondered down here for lunch. There is now a restaurant called "NW Burger" in this location. :(

From a sushi loving couple, you can find better

This place is extremely easy to overlook as it is in a seedy part of town, neverless there is something to be said for this place. The menu is creative, but you get the feeling that the fire and passion of making the special rolls and sushi on the menu left the sushi chef years ago. Wonderful mixes of ingredients on paper turn out to be a mess on the plate. Little artistry to be found, and the taste is sub-standard. The place could use a little renovation that might put a creative jolt back into the sushi chef. Look elsewhere for great sushi in Portland (because we are fortunate enough to have a few places that are spectacular).

• Pros: Creative menu, warm plates
• Cons: less fresh, chef has lost his fire

Best secret in town!!!!

My husband and I enjoy searching for the ultimate sushi restaurant and trying something new, although exciting, has not proven to be a great experience. Not this time. Last saturday we went to Obi Sushi Bar and we LOVED IT!!. The chef's creations are aswesome!! the fish is fresh and smooth as butter!! The service is wonderful!! We ate so much and tried so many new rolls ( the rainbow roll was yummy!) and got tea... a delicious juicy orange at the end and the bill was under $30 dollars!! We will definetly go back and got some business cards to give to our sushi loving friends!

• Pros: location, food, freshness
• Cons: needs music
