Message from the Business
For over 20 years, Ichidai Restaurant has been surprising Portland diners with unbelievably delicious Japanese cuisine at incredibly affordable prices. You don't have to watch your wallet while ordering from their expansive menu of Tempura, Teriyaki, Sukiyaki, Sake, sushi, beer and wine.
This Portland sushi restaurant is closed for lunch, but they feature a mouthwatering catch-of-the-day Nigiri menu for dinner alongside a creative sushi menu, soups and more. Reservations are accepted for large parties.
Ichidai is tucked away in a discreet shopping center, but don't let the facade fool you. The fare is fresh and attentively prepared, prices are affordable and service is laid back but personal. For great food, prices and a friendly atmosphere in a Portland sushi restaurant, visit Ichidai Japanese Restaurant.

on Citysearch Sep 24, 2007I have heard great things about this place, but they are never open. I always call first, and they are always closed. They are not open at all on Mondays, and close in the middle of the day every day. Twice in my attempts... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 16, 2007I'm 1/2 japanese and like finding a place that has home-cooked kind of taste. Miso soup is always good here. My grandma loves to come for their lunch specials. This is another place that I like their katsu offerings.... (more)
