Mirakutei Sushi & Ramen

TLDR; I'm a fan, I'd recommend it if you're in the areaContext - Dine in (I do not typically stick to vegetarian diet but I was dining in with someone who is Vegan & another who is Vegetarian so I was eating the same as we were sharing dishes. I am also from OC, CA) Food I'd order again - Vegetarian Ramen, the tastiest vegetarian broth I've had. The Garden Roll, nice and fresh roll with Veggie Tempura, I was skeptical on this one but it had a great biteAmbiance & Staff -Nice establishment, could very much see this being a great date night spot though not sure how loud it gets when busy.Staff was all really pleasant and attentive Wait Time - 0, we walked in on a weekday and were sat immediately.

Ambiance: 5/5Mirakutei is a very nice restaurant with a cozy ambiance. The lanterns at night were my favorite decor, adding a warm and inviting feel. It's a great spot for date nights!Service: 4/5We ordered two rounds of food. The first round came out in a decent time, but we waited around 20 minutes for the second round, which was a bit too long and made us lose some of our appetite. It seems they wait to serve everything together, but the delay was noticeable. The host/manager was great, but the girl taking our order forgot a couple of items, which caused us to wait even longer. Despite this, the staff remained friendly throughout.Food: 5/5We tried several dishes, including:Monkey BrainSalmon FlightOregon RollMirakuteiScallops and UniDynamite SalmonDragon RollThe sushi here is fantastic! Every item was fresh and delicious, but the Monkey Brain and Salmon Flight were the standout favorites for my family and me. High-quality sushi that doesn't break the bank--definitely worth a visit!Overall:The first time I came with my boyfriend, we had an amazing 5/5 experience that was even better than this visit, unfortunately. I hope next time will be just as great as the first!

Sushi is always a go-to for me when I don't know what I'm craving. Portland has its fair share of sushi restaurants from conveyer belt to omakase, and Mirakutei is a great option for good-quality-don't-break-the-wallet sushi. Mirakutei has two locations around Portland and each is beautifully designed. While they don't take reservations, there's plenty of seating and we were able to get seated right away. We got the Kaizen roll, Albacore roll, and Salmon Aburi roll. They were all great! The fish tasted fresh and each roll was beautiful. It is a great mid-level tier quality sushi, and I mean this in the best way possible. It's not pretentious nor is it stingy. It is a great option if you want sushi, but want to avoid getting it from the grocery store. Service was also friendly and welcoming! Overall, a great experience and I will be back!

A little hesitant as there was not one Japanese employee among the seven I saw. However, after I learned about the previous long time owner selling to the current owner, which apparently was his sous chef, maybe it doesn't matter.The experienced started with the Rum-Arkable cocktail, so good and a fair sized pour.From there it was the edamame and a large variety of rolls, many colorful and laden with sauces that might turn off sushi purists. The Burnside Bridge roll was one of our favorites. Anything crab is listed as "crab salad", it wasn't as good as other places. The only dish that was meh was the saba nigiri.Service was very friendly.

This place hits the spot everytime. The sushi is fresh and the presentation is next level. The staff is very friendly and they seem to remember the regulars. I love the avocado roll and the classic Philadelphia!

My friend and I came here for girls date night and the place was nice. Well decorated. Big windows to let in a lot of light. Service was a tad slow. It was very quiet and I believe we had to remind the waitress of something we had ordered. And at one point our waitress went on break, which is fine, but we didn't have another server help us during her break. The drinks were sneaky. They sneak up on you! They were delicious and you could barely taste the alcohol and suddenly, it hits you. The flavor of the drinks, were chef's kiss. The sushi itself was decent.

Came in for dinner on a Monday, staff was friendly. Miso soup was good, warmed us up! Place is very cute, didn't realize how big it was until we walked around the side. Very natural looking and great for date night. Food was good! Came out all at once but the fish was very fresh and melted in your mouth. It was pricey but worth it for the quality.

Came here and I had a great time! The inside has a great ambiance there's plenty of natural lighting due to the (essentially) floor to ceiling windows. And, in the evening, the lighting is so cozy and makes the place feel warm. Service here was so thoughtful and amazing.We ordered a couple drinks, takoyaki, nigiri, and a salmon aburi roll. The drinks were amazing and I loved them. The takoyaki was also delicious and crispy on the outside, but I wish there was a bit more sauce on them. All of the nigiri and roll was great--nothing that was exceptionally spectacular, but I would definitely come back. As I didn't get to try the ramen this time, I would love to come again to try it next time!

Took a road trip down to Portland from our AirBNB in Seattle. After visiting the rose garden, we decided to get sushi of all things before we took the 3hr ride back to Seattle.I am so happy we stopped here. We caught a crew shift so the restaurant was empty but had a very nice ambiance companied with the traditional sushi chefs behind the counter. I highly recommend trying the ceviche mix, the crunch and the spicy tuna roll (not pictured) because each of us were in agreement that they were amongst the best we have ever tried.This place is a gem. 5/5.

Ramen was good but sushi was not great. Service was average, not sure we will come again.
