Johnson St. t’s no secret that Mio Sushi has long been Portland’s reigning sushi palace. In its very nonpalatial abode in otherwise fancy North west, Mio has been turning out excellent fishy delights long before it became the rage. Mio is still top dog, and its success—a second spot on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard opened a couple of years ago— hasn’t diminished its quality. With raw fish, fresh matters, and Mio always stocks the freshest Cuts. 1 can’t resist the alhacore, yellowtail or the freshwater eel. The edamame never disappoints— moist, not soggy, with the perfect amount of sea salt— and the miso soup is full of tofu and seaweed. Not to he missed is the Sonny’s Special: half- baked salmon topped with spicy tuna and a special sauce. The special sauce is so gtxxJ, 1 dream about it. It also comes on the Baked Green Mussels. Don’t miss them, either. Yuki • 1337 N.E. Broadway L unch • D inner ( 503 ) ost fads are irritating, but when it comes to food, I can cut some slack. W hat’s so had, for instance, about sushi bars springing up like wildflowers.7 Well, nothing— hut not all of them are created equal. There’s nothing worse than had sushi—a combination of raw and had really isn’t easy on the stom ach—and nothing better than really gtxxl, fresh sushi.

There’s the great standbys— hamachi, unagi—and always a couple of fresh specials of the week. If you go in for rolls, Yuki is your spot. Their selection is extensive and unique—among the best are the deep-fried specials. I know, deep-fried seems blasphemous when we’re talking about sushi, hut Yuki’s are delightfully light and crunchy. Try the Crunchy Spicy *1 or *2—one has squid and the other tuna, and each comes with a special sauce that melts in your mouth. The Salmon Dynamite is another favorite. The Baked Green Mussels run a close second to Mio Sushi’s, hut he prepared for very hot sauce. You’ll want some smooth sake to wash them down, and Yuki has a great selection. Just about everything Yuki does, it does well. Just about. Steer clear of the tempura banana— it’s just not cooked enough. But do try the mochi—Japanese ice cream halls encased in a chewy, sweet, doughlike coating. R 503.281.
