This was definitely our meal of the year, chef and staff were very kind and patient, overall the flow of the course felt phenomenal. It was an anniversary night and it lived up to the hype, definitely recommend to any sushi lover.
Also get the upgraded service, loved the Uni and all the special lit
4.5 stars- Came back again and the fish is so fresh and so delicious. The aged fish or fish soaked in sake is so delicious. Everything about the meal was incredible. The only thing that changed is the slices of sushi. Got thinner and thinner. ( and smaller - 150 grain rice vs 200 for perfect taste
It was great to talk to the chef. She was so friendly. The food was amazing. My favorite Omakase in Oregon by far.
Dinner at Nimblefish was truly amazing. The chef Design's an Omakase menu that is 11 courses from the best freshest ingredients and is then fallowed by soup and dessert. You can revisit something's you liked and explore new ones after the guided tour from the chef, do take advantage of it. Everythin
One of the very best sushi experiences we have ever had. Top quality, highly professional presentation, friendly staff. Worth every penny.
It's really an amazing experience. The food is great and the interaction with the chefs where you can ask all about the sushi is amazing. They even pulled out a whole fish when we asked what one of them looked like.
Far and away the best sushi I’ve had in Portland, and a strong contender for best sushi ever. We’re super fortunate to have this level of omakase available. The fish was exquisite, the staff knowledgeable and friendly and the ambiance sealed the deal. Will be back as frequently as I possibly can!
Food: 5/5
Service: 5/5 (long wait time though, about an hour)
Atmosphere: 5/5
Would recommend: yes
Some of the best sashimi I have ever had. The quality of the fish really shines here. Really amazing food, but some cons are: somewhat pricey ($3-5 for a single piece) and long wait (an hour or so). D
Fantastic experience with our chef who was very welcoming and still professional during the omakase experience, and every piece of nigiri was unique and flavorful. Would love to come again in the future!
We love experiencing different Omakases and this was one of our favorites. The fish was very fresh and the sushi chef used flavors enhancements like shiso, soy, and salt well. They were complimentary and not heavy handed. There was a good variety of fish and the non-nigiri dishes paired well. Also s
We had the most amazing experience! Thirteen servings of the most delicious and beautifully presented sushi. The staff was perfectly attentive and created an intimate environment as they shared how the meal was sourced. 10/10!
Others have left reviews saying the food here wasn't great. I'd say I've certainly had worse food for twice as much money with worse service.
Not everything we had was spectacular, but 80% of it was, and the tamago and salmon were insanely good. One of the two owners was our chef and host, and was
Excellent Omakase at a very reasonable $90/pp. After moving to Oregon from Southern Ca, it’s been hard to find high quality sushi in Portland. The Nimblefish experience was great with high quality fish and a decent beverage selection.
Amazing omakase! Every piece was fantastic. We’ve had good omakase elsewhere but when you come here you realize the other places were BS. So good you’ll want to eat the pieces that come out with flossing later…
OK, so I have had my fair share of omakase tasting menus. Some magnificent - Kusakabe - and some only ok - looking at you Kaiseki Yuzu...
Nimblefish breaths that rare air of genuine excellence while still being a great value. The pacing and variety are topnotch. The broth with clams towards the clo
By far the best nigiri we have ever had! Excellent food and service in an intimate setting. We would absolutely recommend visiting Nimblefish for omakase and will return next time we are in Portland. Make a reservation in advance for weekend dining!
Absolutely loved the food here! An excellent omakase and the a la carte options at the end were phenomenal. Worth every penny to do the add-on too - the hot dishes in the omakase were a highlight. Stunning chawanmushi.
I lived in Tokyo for 4 years and this is the best Japanese restaurant that I’ve been to in the PNW. nimblefish combines the Japanese values of beauty, precision, and excellence with the Portland values of warmth, informality and un-pretentiousness. Great food and great service. Can’t wait to come ba
