Reviews
It’s an intimate space run by a talented chef and his wife, who handles both serving and kitchen support. Even though they were busy managing the entire floor by themselves, the service was seamless and attentive.
Every dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious—I was thoroughly impressed. I would love to visit again during my stay in Portland, though I know how tough it is to get a table. Highly recommended if you can get in!
[Update/Addition]
We were incredibly lucky to return to KAEDE just a few days after our first visit, this time for table seating. While I personally loved the unique experience of the counter, the table service was equally flawless.
The highlight of this visit was the team’s incredible hospitality. It seems they review their reservations in advance; since this reservation was under my friend’s name, I suspect they were expecting guests they hadn’t met before. They seemed genuinely surprised to see us again, which was a wonderful moment.
Despite how busy they are, both the chef and his partner—who handles everything from greeting guests to seamless floor service—were incredibly attentive. They made sure to explain the dishes in both English and Japanese so that both of us felt comfortable and well-informed.
Also, I must mention the Maitake mushroom Chawanmushi; although it was an optional addition to the course for $8 this time (it was included in our first visit), it did not disappoint at all. It was truly unique and one of the best I have ever had. It is rare to find such high-quality food paired with such genuine care. KAEDE remains the highlight of our trip, and we are already looking forward to our next visit.
If you think you’ve found great sushi elsewhere in Portland you’re probably right, but you haven’t eaten the best until you’ve dined at Kaede. Owner/Chef Izumi Uehara and Executive sushi chef Shinji Uehara (wife & husband) have teamed up to bring you perfectly prepared fish flown in overnight from Japan for the fine people of Portland to enjoy in a Sushi-Kappon experience.
Tips:
– The premium nigiri is a MUST HAVE. Shinji showcases his fish in the most authentic way with little adornments such as jalapeño relish, yuzu jam, and whatnots. He is careful not to overwhelm the delicious melt-in-your-mouth fish with the extra bling he puts with each bite. His knife work is the best I’ve seen in Portland and it comes through in this elevated approach to sushi.
– Try things you normally wouldn’t eat. I despise eggplant and NEVER want to take a second bite of anything related to the nightshade. The NASU AGEBITASHI is Uh May Zing and you will want to devour Chef Izumi’s clever creation.
– Saba Battera is super special here and a steal at only $10 (now $12). This is the only place in Portland other than Murata where I’ve seen it on the menu and this rendition is exquisite.
UPDATE
Came back a year later and it was even better than I remembered. The king salmon sunomono salad was soooo good that we had to order a second before dessert….
