Super affordable lunch specials! I stopped in here before my flight leaving PDX and got sat right away. I ordered their lunch special which came with miso soup. Everything is very affordable given the area where it's located. Would highly recommend coming here with friends before your next flight out of PDX

Stopped here for my wife's birthday on her way to Mexico, sooo good! The best part was they surprised her with a BD cake! So sweet The staff was amazing!

Service was quick and very polite. Very kind people here! Food was pretty good. My favorite out of all the rolls was the American Dream. Very cute restaurant aesthetic and comfy seating with a fire playlist

Came to Portland for a one-week vacation. I booked a hotel nearby and was craving sushi near the area. It is a super nice location within walking distance of the hotel and PDX airport. Parking is a bit small and snug due to Dutch bro's drive-thru. I called in to take it back to the hotel to eat. I ordered their: Dynamite (Chef Recommend); California Roll top w. Baked Scallop, Crabmeat, Masago, Crunch & Special Sauce. It was so good! I love the scallop on top of the California roll + special sauce. It's not overwhelming. Staffs are extremely friendly and I highly recommend this place. I came back twice for their gyoza as well. Both weekends, the place wasn't packed and was very quiet.

I'd been wanting to check Kobe Sushi & Ramen out for a while now, and an opportunity finally presented itself. The location is SUPER convenient, as it is VERY close to Portland International Airport and Cascade Station. The parking lot is sizeable, and easy to maneuver. The interior is bright, open, and inviting, with a modern and warm appearance. Service is outstanding! All staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, and enthusiastic. The menu is HUGE, and I really want to come back to check out their non-sushi offerings (we stuck to sushi on our visit). The appetizers, sushi rolls, and nigiri were uniformly great! The rice was PERFECT in every way! While this may seem insignificant, I've had plenty of overcooked, undercooked, mushy, and improperly seasoned rice at many other places. It is amazing how much perfectly-cooked and perfectly-seasoned rice elevates everything. I strongly recommend the sushi tower, the kobe roll, and the humble but amazing hamachi scallion roll. I'm VERY impressed with Kobe, and am really looking forward to my next visit.

Food was really good. The service was "meh" our server barely spoke English and struggled to understand my friends and I when we were asking questions while ordering. Also, we asked to have two pieces of sushi put into a container, but the server "accidentally" the it away because apparently she didn't understand. Frustrating. There was another server (named Lucy) who was super helpful, she refilled our beverages and answered some questions.

This is the perfect lunch spot. Their service is fast as hell. The restaurant is clean and quiet. It definitely doesn't feel like you're dining right outside the airport. I was relieved to find this quiet spot to de stress after a recent flight. And let's face it; airlines pretty much starve us so yes I was a ravenous and yes this is all I ordered cause I was planning to cook later that day...cook or order pizza you call it... Anywayyy the sushi was delicious but sidenote: they do Not serve sake. I noticed it listed on the menus other people posted on here but my waitress let me know they don't serve Any alcoholic drinks. All in all that didn't matter cause the ambiance and food made this restaurant a really cool stop.

Straight from LA experience. Welcome to us from Oregon :) They are our first meal as soon as we land, Am I hungry? why everything taste good here?? ok, we ordered 3 bentos, and 2 rolls ($14.95) . Their bentos are a little different from the regulars we've tried, only 2 options for the main meal and it comes with spring roll, gyoza and miso soup. They asked if you would like noodles and rice - so noodles it is. I told you they are different- where is the salad?? it's because they have noodles? Portions are big we had to gooos... planned on ordering noodles to go because it's really delish!!! but we did not because we want to try other places. Staff are really friendly, recommended eel roll which we tried and yes she was right! Parking is a lot, restroom is in place and the ambiance here is perfect! for groups, dates and with kids like us! My kiddo looove the big serving of Salmon. oh! and we got FREE appetizer because of Yelp check in!! yay! enjoy my shared pics. only 2 coz im hungry! ciao!
