Outstanding experience. Every single thing we ordered from the menu was really good with a notable mention to the Black Cod Misosuke (medium plate), the sunomono which comes with a couple of small pieces of octopus and salmon (small plate). In terms of rolls we ordered the Transformer and the Japanista, contrasting flavors which paired really well to share. We will be back to this downtown gem !
Staff was friendly and welcoming and seemed to genuinely enjoy working there and taking care of customers. Service was prompt and accurate.
Food was delicious, portions were decent sized. We will definitely be visiting Ajisai again.
The best octopus in all of Portland. I try Octopus everywhere and its never prepared properly(octopus needs to be massaged). Excellent Sashimi; 3 of us shared a plater that was only $36!
