Nice atmosphere, good sushi, sake by sarahsloane on 4/17/2012 via Citysearch
Nice atmosphere, good sushi, sake cocktails and interesting specials. Tatami-style booths add to the effect. Definitely recommended.

Great sushi. by sunshineluvr on 10/11/2009 via Citysearch
My sushi place used to be Masu. Then they changed to Bamboo and for some reason become more snobby in the changeover. While Meiji-En isn't nearly as swanky as Masu, the sushi is just as good. Super fresh, great prices. I am picky about my…

did someone say sushi? by epicuriousgeorge on 7/20/2009 via Citysearch
OH! Meiji-En... How I love you! You make me feel so good inside. Spicy tuna to die for! Veggie roll, hella awesome! Fresh fresh fresh ingredients! The moment you bite into one of those delectable rolls everything you once knew about…

Best Spicy Tuna Rolls by kirky89 on 6/2/2009 via Citysearch
Great sushi- we have always heard Saburos's was the best sushi in town- granted their portions are huge by comparison. Yet, freshness in nothing on Meiji-En. When you walk in- there is no fishy smell- this quaint place is a good deal…

Solid family restaurant by happypalate on 5/2/2009 via Citysearch
enjoy very nice sushi rolls in a relaxed family atmosphere

Very fresh and tasty sushi provided by Vincent and Angel, sushi chefs; small, neighborhood feel by DennisChapman on 11/11/2008 via Citysearch
I have been to Meiji-En twice, and have been totally satisfied both times. Vincent and Angel, the sushi chefs, are welcoming and knowledgeable. If you know what you like, they'll make it. If want them to choose, they'll start off…

Best sushi in Portland!!! by karrim on 2/29/2008 via Citysearch
I have searched this town for a long time and I choose Meiji-En. The sushi is always fresh and consistently good, presented beautifully in good portions (they have toro!). Appetizers are great as well; my favorite is the seaweed salad…

Best sushi place I've been to by goodmeal on 2/25/2008 via Citysearch
This is the best Japanese restaurant that I've been to given that I've not been to many Japanese restaurants. The food is fresh and good. The service is very good. I especially like the clams and tuna.\r It was a bit difficult to find…

Great Sushi, Great Service by oregonerin on 1/9/2008 via Citysearch
I love this place! My firends recently took me there as a suprise for my birthday. They helped make my birthday very special. There were 11 of us and we never wanted for anything. The sushi was fresh and delicious and the server was…

Hate to say it, but our meal was way sub-par by twoodburn on 11/17/2007 via Citysearch
Let me preface by saying I don't like to rip into an establishment for the sport of it. I had eaten here last year and had a pretty good meal, nothing spectacular, but it was fine. Ate there last week with friends and the meal was,…

What's happened here? Did it change owners or something? by gforcepdx on 7/29/2007 via Citysearch
(Note: citysearch allows you to post only one review per restaurant; I originally posted a 5-star review for Meiji-En in July 2007 and the review that follows here is from tonight, Aug 2 2008; I posted this assuming my original would still…

High quality, fresh fish - a hidden gem on Broadway by alphaphish on 5/14/2007 via Citysearch
This restaurant is an incredible find! The nigiri is simply excellent: fresh, clean and smooth - and the prices are hard to believe, given the quality of the food. The super deluxe dinner, an assortment of maki and nigiri, is just about…

Sensational SUSHI!! by hacataq on 5/10/2007 via Citysearch
We have been going to Meiji En for several months now on a fairly regular basis and feel that there really isn't a better sushi restaurant in town. Considering the high-quality fish that is served, the prices are very reasonable. We just…

A Good Neighborhood Find by erin314 on 3/21/2007 via Citysearch
I like this place, and while I'm not scrambling to get back, they really do have awesome sushi. I have eaten there twice, and on both occasions my dining partner was the live eel in a way-too-small-tank beside my table. Needless to say,…

Best sushi in town! by stillripple on 2/16/2007 via Citysearch
I love sushi and this is by far the best sushi I've had in town! Great atmosphere, complete with traditional seating booths (they even provide you with slippers). I haven't tried anything off the menu but the sushi - but that alone is…

Great lunch specials--nice sushi! by jenmart on 2/15/2007 via Citysearch
We've gone several times for lunch, and once for dinner, and always had great sushi. Haven't tried anything else, and mostly have the nigiri and sashimi, and have been impressed with cut, flavor and freshness. The few rolls we've had are…

Sushi lovers! This is it! by lidoshortie on 2/11/2007 via Citysearch
I have been going to Meiji-En ever since I found the place for real fresh, quality, and cheap sushi. They have super white tuna or ascolar which is rich and really really reallly good. Ascolar is rare to be found in any other restaurant in…

Best Sushi in Town! by ollyrule on 2/11/2007 via Citysearch
Last month my family and I found Meiji-En to be the best sushi restaurant in town and we've been going there to eat at least once a week. Their toro was rich and cheap for only 6.50 an order! Can you believe the price? There's also the…
