Stuart Coates: Oh man, order as much as you can stand, it's some of the best. Rainbow roll, crispy salmon roll, tuna, mmmm.
Lindsey Franklin: Literally everything is so good. Takas tuna is special and different!
Karen H: Nice selection of sushi & tempura. Really long wait for a table. A bit pricey.

Music Venue · 68 tips and reviews
Brianne L: One of my favorite bars in Portland. Cool atmosphere, live music, cheap drinks & good selection of alcohol. Happy hour is from 4-7 (11pm-1am Sun-Thurs). Try grilled cheese & tomato soup. Food is great
Darrin Quillen: It is what it is: an OLD bar, est. in 1902. Don't let all the motorcycles hanging from the ceiling fool you, the service is consistently friendly and the drinks well made. People's prices too!
Eye Candy VJs: Majorly revamped kitchen/menu, singularly great downtown live music venue. In-house sound staff get it right, eclectic tourists populate the main bar to see hanging motorcycles and highway history Read more.
Kellen Terrett: I have dreams about these sandwiches. Get the Ruben with Russian dressing.
Tim M: Anything with corned beef and pastrami is a must try! Service was great, food excellent and the Mac&Cheese is UH-mazing!
Eater: The closest thing Portland has to a New York-style Jewish deli. No "artisan" sandwiches here, just simple, unpretentious towers of pastrami, chopped brisket and pickled tongue. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

New American Restaurant · 236 tips and reviews
Benjamin Tran: The Burmese Red Pork Stew is at once palatably spicy, sweetly caramelized, and filled with different textures. Definitely a must have!
Eater: John Gorham's insanely popular second spot reinvents Portland's favorite meal — brunch — taking it to new heights worth the inevitable looooong wait. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Juston Payne: I thought the Dinner Protection Act of '34 banned brunches from being this delicious, but I guess Mr. Tasty and his Sons pulled some strings.

Sandwich Spot · 78 tips and reviews
Erin Mosow: Sandwiches! I got the cuban which was fantastic until I tried my boyfriend's pork meatball bahn mi which was incredible. Good fries-soggy and I like them like that.
Thrillist: A place promoting a pig out, Lardo plates meaty desires like their signature Porchetta w/ caper aioli & gremolata. Read more.
Serious Eats: Monstrous sandwiches, often pork-focused, with a classy chef's touch. Almost any sandwich can be turned into an equally satisfying salad.

Cuban Restaurant · 58 tips and reviews
Janice Pimentel: Get the Pollo Frito -- it's so juicy! Then save some room for the Tres Leches Cake -- worth the trip!
Lisa: The only indoor cuban restaurant I could find in Portland and it is AMAZING. After living in Miami and moving back to Portland, I needed a good place. The empanadas are to die for.
Ashley: They have a killer happy hour menu! And they have heaters above each table outside!! One of our new favorite places.
Rachel Mercer: Really well curated indie section, with lots of lovely zines and limited runs in the front. Definitely my favorite comic book store around.
Wilson Favre-Delerue: Think of yourself as a child. Think of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Now you're an adult and at Floating World Comics: dream, bewilderment, pleasure. You're welcome.
Alessandro Mingione: Great selection of indie comics, as you would expect from Portland!
