Best Casual Restaurants in Northwest Portland

I’m visiting from Boston. I have lived there for 30 years, but I was born and raised in Tokyo. So, I’m particular about authentic sushi. I just enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Masu. It's a very serious, authentic sushi restaurant—truly impressive even by Tokyo standards! Portland is lucky to have a place like this. Additionally, its selection of sake is outstanding. You can enjoy a wide variety of sake that you don't normally see in ordinary Japanese restaurants in the US. I was sitting at the sushi counter and enjoyed talking with chefs. My server was also super attentive. I hope I will return to this city and Masu!

The food and service was excellent. The little gem salad, Greek potatoes and Greek lamb chops were a hit. The restaurant gets a little noisy when full, however not in bad way. If you want a quieter experience their sister restaurant Dolly Olive is a great choice.

Great breakfast as usual. Good coffee (dark French roast from Portland Coffee Roasters), fantastic cinnamon roll and excellent scramble and benedict. we had a very nice competent and patient wait person.

Great spot! Food was interesting and the drinks were great.

Great date night location in the Pearl! Food and service top notch as always. Pickles is a fantastic server - friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menu.
