Since moving from NYC, I have been hunting for a new go-to sushi place, and so far Portland has been coming up short. No longer! Last night we headed to Bara, and were very pleased with everything. Sat at the bar, fantastic service, delicious fresh fish, and a creative menu. I highly recommend the Prozac (for eel lovers: eel, shrimp tempura, tuna, eel sauce = amazing) and the 'tokyo drift' - tuna and japanese potato. They also have great specials, and I have to disagree with previous posts; the fish was very fresh and tasty. Prices were fair (keep in mind I'm coming from Manhattan), but consistent with other places in portland I've been for sush We'll be heading back often!
Pros: friendly service, creativity of menu, freshness of fish, outdoor seating location
Cons: drink menu could be more extensive
