Wow! Definitely have to come try this place if you like sushi and an intimate experience. The food was amazing from start to finish. The service was superb. When you walk in you are greeted with some sake and receive attentiveness throughout the whole meal. Would highly recommend this place for a date night! We will be coming back!
Very intimate omakase experience - had the Blue Zone experience. Delicious food, well minded experience and great hospitality. Website is slightly unclear about how to book the tasting menu and MLM products can be advertised sometimes but overall good experience!
Absolutely magical and delightful. Highly recommend the pairing. Seasonal menu. Eat with your eyes and your mouth. What can I say that everyone else hasn’t already said?? Just see the beauty in the pictures and come taste the magic that makes you speechless
Simply amazing, 22 courses and 8 of them were "best thing I ever had"-level stuff, 8 more were really excellent, & the other 6 were merely very good - nothing remotely disappointing. Easily my new #1 restaurant in Portland, and tied with a 3-michelin star place elsewhere for #1 all-time (both have a 25/20 on my scale). Highlights were the burdock with smoked black cod, japanese eggplant, raw scallop/soba/caviar salad, earthy fig soup, toro hand roll, king salmon nigiri, chili crab with salmon roe, honeycake.. can't narrow it down, will be dreaming about all of those for a long time. Service and atmosphere were wonderful too. One of the best ways to spend $250/person, certainly. For reference I have this ranked above Tercet, Le Pigeon, Normandie, Kann, and Langbaan, and of those only Normandie really compares when it comes to goodness per $$
Wonderful traditional Japanese style dining. I will remember to skip lunch next time I go….one if my favorite restaurants in Portland! The sake/wine pairing is totally worth it. There were some new exquisite dishes that blew my socks off and the uni was the best I’ve ever had!
Food was plenty and delicious. Quality was great and lots of imaginative and creative dishes.
Really enjoyed the special new year dinner menu at the end of January. The new space is cozy and the setting is intimate with only 15 seats. The food and service was top notch and I would highly recommend Nodoguro for special occasions and splurges. There were several parties there for birthdays in the night we went!
I had the pleasure of going to Nodoguro with my partner for our 10th anniversary and the experience from top to bottom was well worth it. The initial walk in to the restaurant was already very cozy and intimate feeling, with the music, the lighting, and the seating with other patrons. We ended up having very nice chats with another couple sitting next to us and with the folks working at the restaurant too. The employees were super nice and helpful!
I usually eat food quickly and it’s not often I have a meal and think “wow I wish I would’ve taken a picture too to savor it later too” but just about every bite afterwards gave me that feeling. I had the drinks pairing to go along with the meal and it went together perfectly! I feel like I also need to really emphasize how cute the plates, bowls, and cups they use are. Everything definitely feels lovingly picked or crafted in some way.
I want to make it a tradition to come here every year as an anniversary treat. Thanks for the experience!
