Bush Garden

A friend of mine always hangs out at Bush Garden which started me going. The service is always amazing and the food... well... I used to live in LA and I would hit some pretty killer sushi places. I always have leaned toward trying more

Pros: very traditional sushi and Japanesse cuisine

Cons: non that I can see

as of last week or something. it's posted (on the front door) due to slow business from the construction going on all around it.

I've never been disappointed with a restaurant as I am today. I went there for lunch and had to wait 40 mins for my food to arrive. (I only get an hour for lunch) When my food finally arrived it was disgusting. I ordered beef teriyaki with

Cons: I waited 40 mins for my food, food was bad and the service was rude.

The room settings are very nice. The food is a bit overpriced. Especially for the quality you get.\r
The sushi was not good at all. I would have rather gone to Mio sushi or Saburo's ... maybe even sushihana for that quality of

Pros: atmosphere, interior

Cons: quality of food, service, pricey

My Wife and I Loved this place, intimate, quiet, GREAT food and quite reasonable in price. I Highly Recommend THIS Restaurant.

I've only been for happy hour and amazed that we don't see wait staff for 30 minutes at a time when there are only 3 tables of customers. They literally disappear from the room.

Pros: Cheap HH prices. Good California Rolls

Cons: Smoke filled room and absent waitress

I used to go here for the happy hour menu a lot with friends. It was a regular thing. The service in the lounge has always been less than perfect. Still, the vibe was good and divey. Didn't mind spending $40 bucks on drinks to get $15

Pros: Used to be good food and service. At least we have the memories.

Cons: Inept, rude service. Inconsistant to subpar quality of food. Waste of time, money and hunger. Go someplace else.

just say NO!!! It was our daughters 21st birthday (golden birthday) and we were expecting something fun. As it was, we didn't see a waitress for over 20 minutes after we were seated, it was another 30 minutes after we ordered before we

We held our annual party for 60 people in their banquet room, but never again. Most people couldn't get drinks until 45 minutes into our party. Appetizers came out an hour late. We were supposed to have four servers but we only had two

Pros: Authentic atmosphere

Cons: Lousy service, high prices, uncooperative staff

My husband and I stumbled across this restaurant last night ( a friday night!).\r
And we loved it!\r
We arrived there at 6pm and the hostess asked us if we wanted the sushi bar or the dining area or the happy hour. My husband said happy

Pros: Happy hour

Cons: parking

My family and I have been going to this restaurant for 13 years. We loved it. Tonight we went there for my daughter's birthday. Wow! What has happened to this fixture of downtown Portland. The ownership must have changed. Listen to

Pros: It's food.

Cons: Price, service, food, cleanliness.

A lot of people consider this restaurant for its sushi and its dinners, but few have discovered its great ramen. \r
A couple blocks away is another restaurant that has a very extensive ramen menu. However its stock is made from a powder

Pros: ramen, happy hour menu

My husband and I had show tickets downtown one Friday evening, so we decided to make a night of it, and eat downtown as well. We had eaten at the restaurant when we were dating several years ago, and thought it would be nice to go there

This is the place to go for great food on a Sunday when most good sushi bars are closed.\r
The soft shell crab is very good as is all the sushi I've tried.\r
The non sushi food here is great also.

Pros: Open on Sunday and near Max Stop

I had family coming into town so I made reservations for a private room. We were all looking forward to an evening of great food and a nice quiet place to visit. To make a long story short we waited an extremely long time for a server to

My eating experiences have not been great in Portland due to the horrible service that I generally recieve at the cities restraunts. So, I was VERY happy to have received excellent service at this restraunt. The food wasn't great. Being

Pros: Great Service, Great Atmosphere, Private Rooms

Cons: Not many vegetarian options

The tatami rooms are a nice idea, but the food was not very good. The sushi was too tightly pressed and the rice overcooked, the gyoza lacked taste and the texture was awful. I expected better food from the decent reviews, but was

Pros: Nice ambience

Cons: Food, unfreindly staff, food

After driving past Mio Sushi where nearly a dozen people were waiting outside, my boyfriend and I drove down to Bush Garden because we knew there wouldn't be a wait. Within five minutes of sitting down at the bar, we were eating tempura

Pros: no wait at the bar, good service, entertainment!

Cons: a wee bit pricey

I'm from Seattle, and I'm used to the Pike Place Market, where fresh fish is an everyday occurance. While living in Portland I've tried several sushi places. Many were decent, but failed my expectations of my memories of Japan's sister

Pros: fresh, generous portions, great lunch specials

Cons: stand-offish, dinner: a bit pricy, smoky air

I have been going here since my college days (25 years) and love it for groups large or small. One does not go here for the best food, perhaps, but the BEST fun. Having your own room and enjoying the feeling of being back in Japan...I

Pros: ambiance, good parking, tempura

I brought some out of town guests here recently because I had heard great things about Bush Garden. How disappointing (and embarrassing)! The tatami rooms were great, everything else was bad. The service was slow, slow, slow and they

Pros: Tatami Rooms

Cons: Bad Food, Slow Service, Downtown Parking

My boss and I ate here a month or so ago, and while he thought it was expensive, I wasn't complaining. They have tatami rooms, and we had planned to come for kaiseki, as advertised on their website, but the website is out of date and

Pros: Nice atmosphere,, great quality sushi,, many rarer items.

Despite the high rating, the food was higher in price and lower in quality than almost anywhere I've been in Portland. None of the other sushi restaraunts have as strong of a fishy smell right when you walk through the door, and the fish

Pros: good location, good ambience

Cons: bad food, overpriced

What can I say.... I've been to almost every sushi place in Portland. I am a regular at Suburos for the value but if you want the best, I mean the best sushi, go to Bush Garden. Make sure you sit at the sushi bar. The best AJI (Spanish

Pros: fresh, rare, fish, great ambiance

Cons: downtown

Bush Garden is the best sushi in Portland. Ecclectic selection of fish that's always fresh. The sushi chefs will make custom dishes if time permits. A+

Pros: variety, quality, freshness

We came for lunch and were able to sit in a little room that looked like it came straight from Japan. The waitress even helped us to locate a local Asian market. My husband is Japanese and is very picky about Japanese food. This exceed all

Pros: Authentic Food, They have Mochi, Fun Atmosphere

This is my favorite sushi in Portland. Lots of options with eel. Service is very friendly.

Pros: Food
