    Lovely open air ambiance and terrific service. The mezcal cocktail was mediocre and the shishito peppers I've had better. The vegan sushi was decent though

    The 🍔 was one of the best I've EVER had. Well cooked, truffle, fries, aioli. Everything though was delicious and well priced. If I come back to Portland it'll be to eat that burger.

    The menu here is the bomb. David the head chef is really cool and the meat is fed a diet of organic beer and hand massaged everyday. Treat yourself here and get the beer martini!

    a mind blowing burger shouldnt overshadow all the other treats that come out of their kitchen. Craft cocktails were only surpassed by the friendliness of their staff. a gem of a find.

    It is an awesome burger but share it with someone so you have room for some of the other delights like the tuna prosciutto or sushi rolls.

    The tuna ceviche is made when ordered, so fresh and delicious! Try the drunken mushrooms, too!

    The burger was amazing. The miso black cod delicious. If you love beets, the beer martini is to die for.

    Ok, now seriously. The Yakuza Burger is my life. I crave it. I need it. It gives life meaning.

    Forget that this is theoretically a Japanese restaurant. Get the burger. For the love of God, get the burger.

    Miso cod, ribs, burger. Not necessarily in that order. Jicama salad a winner also.

    A very inventive take on Japanese food, although not what I'm looking for when I really want Japanese food.

    Don't bother with the omakase nigiri; they're lazy about it and it's not great nigiri anyway. Ordered four pieces and every one was tuna. Booooring.
