This place is part of the Japanese gastrocult culture. Think of it as Japanese tapas. Order everything. They have a great whisky bar as well. There is usually a 30-60 minute wait. It’s well worth it.

This is my favorite sushi place because it’s super inexpensive and if you know what to order, it’s a great place. They have a conveyor belt but I usually order from the sushi chefs directly. I get salmon sashimi, braised salmon sashimi, mackerel, and deep fried salmon cheeks. The miso is homemade and costs $2. All plates are $3.00.

This is an Oregon phenomenon. I like the donuts. They are made well ahead of time and are therefore not hot. But who doesn’t like a donut with bacon wrapped around it. Get your donut and get your groove on man.
