BEST SUSHI – I'm addicted to this place. My husband and I eat here about once a week it is a bit expensive but worth every penny. They have the best tempura i have ever tasted. We have had a couple bad service experiences but the quality keeps us coming back. I tried to step outside the box and eat at another popular portland sushi restaurants "east" hint hint side location but it was terrible. I wont stray again. I suggest the las vegas roll or the yummy crunch!
Terrible parking, great atmosphere Sinju has a great atmosphere, and suitable for well-behaved children as well as romantic couples. The sushi was acceptable, but some of the maki didn't suit our tastes at all. My first visit, I sat at the bar and received great, friendly service. My second visit with my children and several other adults resulted in poorer service (it was still acceptable). The prices are a little higher than some places, but I would eat here again. They also have private "tatami rooms" you can reserve, but ... read more
Lack of Class – I have been to Sin Ju several times over the last year. After having some exceptionally fresh tuna there about a year ago, I haven't gone to sushi anywhere else and frequently make the hour drive to Sin Ju. So when my birthday rolled around, of course I called for reservations. We showed up on time and service was a little slow, food was okay, and the waitress was hesitant when we asked for recommendations from the menu. We had been there about an hour but had just received our food about 20 minutes prior whe... read more
A trip to boring town! – Dinner at Sinju was lack luster. The preparation and care when making rolls looked thrown together and it was mediocre. We were sat in the back with a large table of rowdy suburbanites who didn't even know what tempura was. (They shouted "what in the heck is this??!) For a place that claims to be so high scale I would like to see them offer more traditional items and more traditional. Our servicer and most of the servers there were annoying. The waitress reached over me while I was eating my maguro n... read more
OK – The restaurant it self looks authentic. But the foods they serve are as not as much. I had a sushi dinner the other day. Miso soup was good. But sushi was not as good as I expected. Besides, there were some fish that I could not even tell what they were. For the price they charge, at least they should provide real wasabi and Green tea. Those who have had real Japanese sushi and foods may be disappointed.
Worst sushi and service – I called in, 45 minutes before closing 9:30, and was somewhat discourage to come in. Was looked at funny, as I obviously am not the snooty pearl type, and had incredibly poor service. After I ordered, my salmon appetizer showed up, and I experienced the first warm sashimi, I had ever had. It was warmer than room temperature. Out of 5 or 6 slices, the last, which had been covered by the rest, was the only one than had any coolness to it at all. The ahi was dry, and far from mouth watering. I half exp... read more
should have believed all the negative reviews – i've been to literally hundreds of sushi restaurants - high end and also your ma and pa joints - all over the country. i read the reviews on this place and most were good, but i should have just read all the bad reviews as a sign of skipping out on the place. service was below average, sushi was below average, rolls were worse than your sushi belt restaurant, and the price was bigger than i was willing to pay for the taste. i don't mind price for good sushi, but this place was ... read more
BEST SUSHI IN PORTLAND – I have been to some of the best of the best, like Kona Grill and Ra in Scottsdale, the restaurant at the Grand Wailea in Maui, and more. Sin Ju is amazing. The ahi tower is to die for, a little pricey and has gotten a little smaller, but I still order it everytime. The yummy yummy crunch, the rainbow and all spicy rolls are delish. The drinks are strong and Sin Ju has a fun ambience at Bridgeport location and Pearl. This is the only sushi I eat in Portland now after being disappointed by many many ot... read more
Avoid this Fake Place – The restaurant is not worth the money. Poor service. They do not appreciate their customers. Our service was slow and the spicy tuna was not the best either. We thought that because of the traditional looking tatami mats, the food would be traditional Japanese as well, but we were wrong. It says a lot if the owners are not Japanese, nor the staff, nor any of the customers. Big mistake. Look somewhere else.
