Sushi Mania

04/14/2008 Posted by epicmeatwad

Seems like everyone has their favorite sushi joint, and everyone always insists theirs is the best. Well, ill tell you, nothing even remotely compares to Sushi Mania. Nothing. Mio Sushi, sorry not even close. Yuki's, nope no way. Masu..hah! Saburo's , nope sorry, try again. Hama, no mama. Yoko's, nope-o's. Forget the cheesy name, its by far the best sushi youll ever put in your mouth.

Pros: Best Sushi in Town

Cons: The space is a little small

My mom and I decided to try this place because we love sushi and I read about it on-line. There was plenty of parking on the street and we were seated promptly. There were about 3-4 other tables already seated when we got there. We waited at least 15 minutes for the waitress to come take are order and it seemed strange because there didn't really seem like there was anything else for the waitress to be doing. The food also took awhile to come out and I think we were the only ones waiting for our food. When we got the food it was very impressive. I ordered the Chirashi and my mom ordered the Sashimi Salad. Both were large sized and very well presented. The fish was extremely fresh and the slices were hearty. The salad dressing was also very good and flavorful. We will definitely go back because the food was so good but it would be nice if the service improved.

Pros: Great Food, Easy Parking

Cons: Slow Service

Yummy, yummy in my tummy!!! I went to Sushi Mania last night and had an amazing roll called the red dragon, ibichi and the las Veags roll. Oh my gosh they were all amazing! There was a great and creative selection...different than other sushi places. I thought the wait staff was very layed back, but courteous and very helpful-great service! Some may think the outside is plain, but the interior is very cozy and loved the lights! All in all- will definately be back...

We thought we'd try this place, after an early movie at the Regal Lloyd. Despite the latest review , I was happily surprised. This is a cosy little restaurant with amazingly delish sushi. Since we were the only ones there near closing time, no way to assess the service. The guy who waited on us was prompt and attentive, our food arrived promptly in any case. I wasn't driven over the top by the Pink Lady, perhaps not to my taste, but absolutely adored every other selection we chose. Fresh, distinctive, and totally worth returning. Both my son and I used the restrooms and found them to be clean and tidy, just to give a different report than a previous diner. I'll be coming back there, and bringing friends.

Pros: Quality of food

Cons: Street parking only

We were looking for a new sushi place to try out, and after citysearching sushi mania, we decided to try it just because they had a cupon and reviews said even though the outside was not so pretty, the sushi was good. Well.. we drove up to what looked like it could be a dirty strip club, and with the name sushi mania..we were a little skeptical. the place is small, and decently deccorated. when we walked in i had to ask someone where we could sit because no one really acknowledged us. when we looked at the menu they had a good selection of sushi and things, but the waitress was a bit unklowledgable about the drinks and what they did and did now have in stock. We ordered about 30 pieces of sushi between two of us, miso soup and some edamame... it was SO GOOD. if you have been to i love sushi.. it was of that quality. it was dilectable. what we didn;t like was that the waitress wans't too helpful and she kind of just left us to ourselves which was nice, but it would be great if she knew about what she was serving. the bathrooms are kind of gross... they were playing old school britney spears and who let the dogs out ... ?? wtf? and they had WWF on the TV.... why even have a tv? and maybe some better music.. so i guess if you don't care about your surroundings, and having a GREAT experience.. if you just are in it for the sushi and not the service... this is a good place to go. the sushi was great.. everything else... not so much.

Pros: sushi, speed of food delivery

Cons: service, bathrooms, appearance

I suggest the b low b low. My guy picked it because of the name. Still at 30 being silly...Needless to say it was delicious. His mom really liked the Mahi. I preder the spicy crunchy tuna roll. This place is excellent.

Pros: Quick Service

Cons: None

My boyfriend and I went to "sushi mania" yesterday and thought it was the best sushi we ever ate! At first, we were a little scared because the front looks so ugly and the name "sushi mania" made us think sushi might be served on a conveyor belt, but when we took a bite of the sushi, we were in heaven. The Ichi, rainbow roll, spider roll and wild sockeye salmon were to die for. Normally I don't eat raw fish because I had it once at mio sushi and the fish tasted "fishy" like it wasn't fresh. But when I bit into the rainbow roll all I could think of was "WOW!!" Great place to eat because there is no wait. I am going there again for sure

Pros: Great sushi

Cons: the front entrance, parking is a little odd

You know how a lot of places on citysearch get all these great reviews and you go try them out and they end up being not-so-great? This is not one of those places! Sushimania has, by far, the BEST SUSHI I have had in Portland. And trust me, I am a sushi fanatic. I can't stop, it's an addiction. I go to this place almost everyday. GO NOW. GO TO SUSHIMANIA!!

Pros: delicious, great prices!

Cons: none

I am a sushi freak, I've been to every place in town and this is by far the best! The rolls are fabulous, even vegetarians will find lots to choose from. Their cucumber sunomono is the best I've ever had. Part of me doesn't want the secret to be let out about how good this place is, and another part of me wants everybody to know so they'll succeed. The service is good and the prices are reasonable. The ambiance isn't great but it's really about the food here. If you want the best fish in town, it's here!

Pros: The food and the prices!

Cons: closed on sundays

What's in a name?! This place has awesome sushi (try their BBQ eel), great service, and I've never had to wait for a table. In the land of sushi, this place is top of the line at a reasonable price.

Pros: good food!
