W e’re not a national chain o f expensive steak houses. We’re a Portland, Oregon favorite.
And fo r over 55 years, w e’ve keen bringing families together with great meals at prices so
reasonable you ’ll never eat alone. Unless, o f course, you want some peace and quiet.

Mio Sushi • 2271 N.W. 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.

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.

elatively new on the sushi scene, Yuki
offers consistently fresh and delicious cui
sine. 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.
