“ Was a wonderful meal. Speedy service from kind people and absolutely phenomenal food. Got to sit in front of the fish tank and we were very entertained by the fish. We went in for Happy Hour. 35 for a couple rolls, couple appetizers, on top of a tip is very reasonably priced. Love UCHU and would highly recommend! ”
“ I personally love their jalapeno poppers and the Reno roll. But all the other vegan options are equally tasty! Highly recommended!! ”
“ Fantastic bento box! And....for 12! Yes please! Gyoza is so hot and juicy! Rolls are super tasty as well! ”
“ We love sitting in front of the aquarium, watching all the creatures and grabbing a bite here. We stopped in last night for our third time in, and the Energy roll was delicious, some of the freshest sushi I’d ever had tbh. It was a good night at Uchu! One time, the owner chatted us up about how he grows the coral in the tank himself. Great menu here, would recommend stopping in. ”
“ The inside is beautiful! The giant saltwater tank really catches your attention. Arrived at 5pm on Saturday and it was not busy but very quickly picked up. Service was fast and friendly, Korin is absolutely incredible! Plenty of vegan options! The Dynamite roll was delicious. The Chicken Teriyaki Entree is worth the price. It comes with miso soup, salad(dressing is delicious), rice, and 3 gyoza. Overall, it was wonderful experience and I'd go back. ”
“ Highly recommend the salmon skin roll. The sashimi platter comes with verrry generously sized pieces. It's a great deal. Add the hot sake and it's a great time. Amazing service and friendly staff. ”
“ The sushi was amazing. I got three rolls all about 10 each. They have lots of options for other dishes as well as vegetarian options for rolls. I loved the saltwater aquarium. The atmosphere was lively. I did have a bit of a wait on my food, but it was super busy. The waitress apologized twice. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely be back! ”
“ I've been eating Sushi my whole life since I was very young, so I am extremely perceptive when it comes to discerning high quality and fresh sushi. UCHU sushi on Mississippi is by far one of my favorite sushi spots in Portland! The food is fresh, high quality. The service is also excellent and friendly. However my favorite thing about UCHU Sushi is that I can enjoy Sushi with my 2 dogs because they have an outdoor seating patio. 5 stars all the way with this place. It's not stuffy, and the prices are reasonable. ”
