Wow! Definitely have to come try this place if you like sushi and an intimate experience. The food was amazing from start to finish. The service was superb. When you walk in you are greeted with some sake and receive attentiveness throughout the whole meal. Would highly recommend this place for a date night! We will be coming back!

Wonderful traditional Japanese style dining. I will remember to skip lunch next time I go….one if my favorite restaurants in Portland! The sake/wine pairing is totally worth it. There were some new exquisite dishes that blew my socks off and the uni was the best I’ve ever had!

Very intimate omakase experience – had the Blue Zone experience. Delicious food, well minded experience and great hospitality. Website is slightly unclear about how to book the tasting menu and MLM products can be advertised sometimes but overall good experience!

Really enjoyed the special new year dinner menu at the end of January. The new space is cozy and the setting is intimate with only 15 seats. The food and service was top notch and I would highly recommend Nodoguro for special occasions and splurges. There were several parties there for birthdays in the night we went!

This is my second time to Nodoguro. It dazzled me then, and this current time, exceeded my expectations yet again.

Extraordinary in every way. Ryan and Elena (and their wonderful staff) create culinary magic in a small, elegant space with few hands. The multi course dinner I enjoyed, with sake and wines to pair, was one of the best meals in my life. (up there with the four star le Bernardin in NYC) Unsurpassed quality of seafood and fresh fish, inventive and playful pairings (eg a vinegared sea cucumber with diced cucumber and apricot), exquisite presentation, warm and gracious service. Nodoguro is a treasure.

This is hands down the best dining experience I’ve ever had, period! And that’s saying a lot for me since I love going out to eat. We went here for my birthday and it was the best birthday present that I’ve ever received. The fish was so fresh, I loved hearing the interesting stories surrounding each ingredient, and you can tell that a great deal of care goes into every single bite. I used to say that I’m not an uni fan, but this experience changed my mind. Guess I just hadn’t had uni as fresh as this! We opted to do the additional sake flight which I’d also highly recommend. After dinner, I sent an email asking for the menu, which Ryan kindly typed up for me. He didn’t have to, and I really think that shows that he cares. I can’t wait to go back here once they are back open, but for now I’m awaiting my bento box that I’ve ordered for Saturday night. Thank you Ryan and team!

Unfortunately, I was not able to dine at Nodoguro. However, I did buy a ticket and had to cancel to which Ryan made the process very easy and quick. I was very impressed with the interaction, and wanted to make mention. Seems like a solid team over there.

I’m pretty sure this was the best meal I’ve ever had. The food was delicious and beautiful, the people were super nice, and the place was fancy but not fAnCY. The atmosphere was really relaxed and that’s saying something for the caliber of food they were serving. They make fine food approachable and friendly—if go back IMMEDIATELY if I wasn’t still so full from last time.
