Frequently asked questions
How is this ranking built from Google reviews?
We use a Bayesian-style approach that weights each restaurant’s average rating by the number of Google reviews it has, so a high rating with many reviews ranks higher than the same rating with only a handful of reviews. This reduces volatility and highlights places with both strong scores and sufficient customer feedback.
What should I check before choosing a sushi restaurant in Portland?
Look at recent reviews for consistency, check the current menu and hours on the restaurant’s website or listing, and confirm reservation or walk-in policies. Also consider accessibility, parking or transit options, and whether the venue meets any dietary needs you have.
How much should I expect to spend at a sushi restaurant?
Prices vary widely between casual neighborhood sushi bars and more formal omakase-style or full-service restaurants. Check menus online for sample prices and look for set menus or lunch specials if you want a more predictable cost.
When should I call a sushi restaurant ahead of time?
Call ahead for reservations if you’re dining during peak hours, bringing a larger group, or requesting specific seating such as the sushi bar. It’s also a good idea to call if you have dietary restrictions or need to confirm same-day changes.
