Reviews Sushi Takahashi 2

We've been going here for 10+ years. It's my son's favorite sushi restaurant. It's the best cheap sushi spot in town. I recommend the following. - salmon nigiri. The seared salmon nigiri is good too. - hamachi nigiri - spicy tuna handroll or regular roll - spider roll, great deal If they're not too busy, order with the paper menu. He'll make fresh sushi for you. Most everything is good here.

Sushi Takahashi 2 has been my family's go to "conveyor belt" style sushi joint for years now. It's convenient to our kids' school, and they love the model train that carries the sushi plates around the bar. Sadly, their lease is not being renewed, and they will be closing at the end of December while they search for a new location. The fish is always fresh and tasty, and the atmosphere is welcoming. We'll miss today location, but will return when they do. Also, they'll be open Saturdays and Sundays during December, so go while you still can.

This is the best sushi shop in Portland. It is completely unassuming. Not fancy. Just great. Sure you can pay 3 times as much at other shops and still not get the same level of quality. I eat there every other month or so, and have never been disappointed. Don't let the unassuming interior fool you. The food is pure magic.

Great place for a quick bite. In order to get better sushi one has to pay twice as much, by far the best value in town. Jalapeno hand rolls are to die for, in addition to wonderful, fresh, raw and cooked choices. The nicest service pared with mouth watering treats made by people who still love making sushi. My favorite spot.

Not usually a fan of conveyor belt sushi, but this place has a model train running around, with a limited number of plates, so you know they're fresh. Prices, for Portland, are pretty good too.

The sushi here is amazing. My favorites are the spicy tuna rolls (both regular and creamy) as well as the jalapeno rolls. Everything else I ate was really good too. However, track is literally a (model) train track, and the train itself is relatively short. So the selection is kinda small, forcing you to have to order directly from the chef.

First of all, I never write reviews, but after having such an amazing experience I have to. So here we go: FOOD: Incredible. Not only are the portions of meat sizable, but they are also very good quality. No fishy odor or taste, no grittiness or chewiness, just good fish that almost melts when you eat it. Also, the sushi rice was delicious and the best I have had from a place serving "conveyor belt" sushi - it was slightly tangy and not too stiff. Each sushi piece is made with expertise and love, and it shows. PRICE: Also incredible. Plates range from $1.50 to $3.75 with menu items averaging $9 or so. For the quality and quantity of food, it's a real deal. My partner and ate until we were stuffed for just $29. SERVICE: Very friendly and talkative. The small number of seating (about 20 seats) allows for a more personal experience and faster service (also, probably contributes to the food quality as well). The woman serving us was all smiles and very polite, and the sushi chef and owner was also talkative and happy and gave out free samples - You can tell they really enjoy the food they serve and sharing that experience. ATMOSPHERE: Not gonna lie, at first, I was nervous. The location is tucked away off the highway next to a corner store, but when entering, it is very homey and pleasant. You forget you are on a highway in Portland and get sucked into the cozy and inviting staff and seating. BEFORE YOU GO: Apparently it can get busy for lunch, and for dinner, so come before or after the rush. Also, they are closed on weekends and the owner takes random days off, so the hours are never entirely for certain. And if you are looking for quick and inexpensive sushi, all sushi on the sushi train is 50% off for to-go orders after 8:30pm (it closes at 9pm) All in all, an amazing experience. Definitely will be frequenting this place, and even now am hesitant about writing this review because I secretly want to keep this gem all to myself; but it is one that should be shared :)

Delicious food, excellent fish at a very reasonable price. Service can get a little slow during busy hours, but sit on the side the chef is facing for great recommendations and prompt fresh rolls. We find it hard to go get sushi anywhere else after discovering this gem.
