SHO | Japanese Restaurant

Fun easy place to eat

This is our favorite sushi restaurant in the area. High quality sushi that’s worth the price! Their bento is also delicious, the tempura or katsu is always flavorful and not greasy. They have one of the best agedashi tofu I ever had as well!

A well loved and appreciated restaurant. Many “old Japan hands” eat here. Authenticity of Japanese cuisine that is unrivaled in Portland. “Ofukuro no aji” (The flavor of Mom’s cooking), if your mom is a 5 star chief. Presentation is beautiful. “Japanese food is eaten first with the eyes” is fully on display with each plate. The fish is always the best. Sashimi, sushi or grilled you can’t go wrong. “Neta ga saiko desu”! The house curry rice, ramen, tonkatsu and bentos are all great. The prices have gone up, but not as much as many other venues. Sho’s is still the best value for the quality. If you have a visitor from Japan craving Japanese food this is where you take them. Sometimes it does get busy. And that tells you something. Dietary restrictions: Sho’s understands and accommodates many of the challenges we are faced with. Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Mediocre sushi that was incredibly over priced. We ordered 3 of their premium rolls and left after trying a bite of each. Rice to fish ratio was very rice heavy with fish barely visible, rolls were poorly rolled and fell apart, and worst of all the fish tasted off. They charged us full price and made no effort to remedy our dissatisfaction.

Do not eat here!!! My son and I just left this restaurant hungry with a full bill. We ordered 3 premium rolls and they were not fresh. The saki salmon crunchy roll, we can't taste any salmon. I literally looked for the salmon. The devouring flames and Yokozuna were very fishy ==> not fresh. The rolls fell apart. We talked to a waitress, probably the owner, and she did not offer to remedy our dinning experience! Disappointed!!!

An incredibly friendly and comfortable place with great service and even better food. I had the chicken curry katsu and the kisaragi roll, and they were both excellent choices. The staff is cheerful and helpful, offering good suggestions when asked and chatting with customers like the folks at a good local restaurant do. If you find yourself in this part of town, definitely try this place.
