​I visited Masu Sushi for a Monday dinner with a 6 PM reservation. We were promptly seated at a window table as requested, which offered a nice view of the street from the second floor.

​A few points to note for future visitors:

​Atmosphere: The place was very lively and quite noisy. It is not the ideal spot if you are looking for a quiet place to have a meaningful conversation.

​Service & Timing: It took about 40 minutes for the first dish to arrive after ordering. Our server seemed a bit shy and wasn’t particularly outgoing, but they were professional and performed their duties carefully.

​Food & Value: The food was decent (passing grade), but nothing stood out as extraordinary. Given the quality, the prices felt a bit high, likely due to its prime location.

​Overall, it’s a solid spot for the view and the vibe, but be prepared for a wait and a loud environment.

I’m a total snob for sushi and this place is great, at least for the dishes we ordered. Ordered assortment of nigiri and everything had a great flavor, texture, and made well. The rice is slightly brown from the type of vinegar they use. The calamari on the happy hour menu had a great spicy after burn. Definitely coming back!

If you feel that sushi is as sushi does, then you haven’t tried Masu. Portland is a city with incredible food, and I firmly believe Masu sits right at the top of that pyramid. The ambience is unmatched – even entering, going upstairs adds to the allure. Every cut of fish melts in your mouth and lingers. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful, and… supportive? I felt like they cheered us on all evening. I can rave about the sushi, which is the best in the city, and you must try the bincho (wow), amberjack, hamachi, and it’s the next morning as I write this – I haven’t stopped thinking about the makanai. They accommodated my extremely odd dietary needs (whatever your specific dietary concerns, they can help you!), and gave our group a memory. One we won’t soon, or likely ever, forget. Thank you!!

Perhaps the best sushi restaurant in Portland. Food quality is exceptionally high, presentation is beautiful and authentic. Service level is very excellent. My server even taking the time to explain each type of fish in a dish, like the chirashi. The vibe is upscale friendly, with a beautiful view out onto the street (it’s on the second floor). Pricing is very fair for the quality, prsentation and service, even if somewhat higher than other downtown sushi restaurants. Highly recommended.

Went here for my 25th birthday. I loved the freshness of the sushi. Great low light vibes to enjoy the food, and wonderful service. I got the Chefs Choice flight and it was delicious. Staff were attentive and had a high chair for my 11 month old.

Amazing place, fresh seafood and quality customer service. I visited from Texas and I could not recommend more, I believe you have to have reservations but I was unaware. Luckily staff was very understanding and helpful and sat me down at the bar after 15 min. The food was a little bit pricey but definitely worth it!!!! Please come out and try. Also anyone can eat here they have Gluten free and vegan options if needed

A nice sushi restaurant in Portland near Pearl. Very low key entrance but when you reach to upstairs it has quite a large area. Handsomely done interior and an extensive selection of sake. Food is excellent and the happy time menu is a good bargain. All wait staff are very nice and friendly. I will come back to this place many times more.

Hands down the best omakase we’ve ever had. Not only was the fish top notch but the creativity and pairings were daring yet rewarding.

You can sip the shoyu, it’s that good, they have the most expensive nori on the market, the ginger and wasabi are good, and of course the diverse array of fish is high quality. I don’t know all the names so I can’t repeat it, but I’ll mention that the otoro is worth the admission. The duck noodle dashi soup was also a standout. Oh and the teas were fine as well

The ginger ice cream monaka was a lovely dessert as well

The location and vibes are very unassuming, as was the service, although the people are lovely. If not for the food you’d think it’s just a normal neighborhood casual sushi joint. You MUST treat yourself to the omakase, until they blow up it can be your own little gem here in Portland that SF and Seattle don’t have

Stopped here one night (10/28/25) after my conference. I was told by a local to go to Bamboo Sushi, but glad I found this little gem upstairs right before the rain started coming down. It was a slow night and was going to sit at the bar, but decided to head to the back table with a view of the street below. Yang was my waiter and he was great in his suggestions and service. I started off with some hot sake that hit the spot while I waited for my food. I ordered Chu Toro – medium fatty tuna and Sake Toro – King Salmon Belly to start. Then got the Rip City – spicy tuna, shishito tempura, green onion, habanero masago, and avocado before finishing my meal with Ami Aji – Japanese Horse Mackrel. All of these dishes were made with the freshest ingredients and melted in my mouth. It was my favorite meal of the week and I would recommend trying this place out.

I went to Masu Sushi this weekend, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, and you could really tell that high-quality ingredients were used.

The sushi was especially impressive—perfectly prepared, flavorful, and well-balanced. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The service was also friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.

Overall, I had a wonderful time at Masu Sushi and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves Japanese cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back again!
