Reviews for Nimblefish in Portland, OR
The omakase was great, the chefs were very good about explaining each piece they served and very chatty ????
Honestly, I was quite disappointed at this restaurant. Food here is fishy. From recent reviews, it seems the chef is not here... often so maybe that is the reason? Tamago is good but it cost extra; not included in omakase. Maybe I had too much expectationbut just FYI, I feel this is an overrated place. Read more
Nimblefish was the best date night my wife and I have had in a long time. The sushi was some of the best we've ever had. Each... bite was perfectly curated in front of us. You could tell our chef was so knowledgeable and talented. She really made ourexperience great! Try the trevally Jack fish, if they have it, and the tamago was incredible. Totally worth every penny.

What a wonderful experience! We are visiting Portland from Charlotte, NC and going to Nimblefish for omakase was one of the... meals we were most looking forward to. Nimblefish did not disappoint!! The decor is spare but warm and intimate. The sushi chefwas very knowledgeable and engaging, and we really enjoyed sitting at the counter and watching everything being assembled. Everybite we had was absolutely delicious. We love sushi but had several types of fish that we'd never tried as nigiri before. Alsoliked that you have the option to add on additional pieces after sampling the core menu for the evening. Overall a reallyspecial experience and some of the best sushi we've ever had. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Portland!! Read more
We booked our reservation the first day we were able to, at least a month in advanced. The anticipation had been building for... some time. The day finally arrived for use to experience this omakase. We were greeted very warmly by our host. Our sushi chefwas very professional with a laid-back attitude, which we loved. He was informative of our selections and willing to answer allmy questions about the fish. We laughed, we drank, and we were merry. He was very engaging and made the experience that muchbetter. The nigiri itself was amazing. Every piece was unique and delicious. Every time a new piece came out, I thought, THISone is my favorite. I didn't want the experience to end. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. That was the worst part ofit all, that it had to end. A truly wonderful experience, I'd be a regular if I lived in Portland. Thank you Nimblefish!

Dinner at Nimblefish was truly amazing. The chef Design's an Omakase menu that is 11 courses from the best freshest ingredients... and is then fallowed by soup and dessert. You can revisit something's you liked and explore new ones after the guided tour fromthe chef, do take advantage of it. Everything is made with care pride and precision. This was my first time eating sushi of thiscaliber and I was blown away. Yes it's a bit spendy but trust me when I say "totally worth it". It's bout the experience and thefood not just one or the other. I was privileged to sample Firefly Squid that is available fresh only 6 weeks of the year and isdrought in from sea of Japan. That is just one of the 11 dishes. I would also like to send a shout-out to Ren from AlbatrossTattoo for setting this experience up for me, thak you Sir. Remember as always, be mindful, happy and the best you. You only goaround one, so do it well. Read more
By far the best nigiri we have ever had! Excellent food and service in an intimate setting. We would absolutely recommend... visiting Nimblefish for omakase and will return next time we are in Portland. Make a reservation in advance for weekend dining! Read more
Intimate experience with pretty your own private sushi chef for a couple of hours. The omakase experience is exceptional, with... chef preparing each course as a unique piece of edible art. At the end of the performance, you can select more of your favoritefish art a la cart. Pair with a few light beers and your best friend for a night you will not soon forget. Read more
