What Avis Runolfsdottir doesn't like about Yosaku:

I had put green tea in a cup with me and they let me throw away, even though we had to wait so long. the sushi was extremely thorough, nothing worth $80 plus tipp. we had udon tempura noodles that were good, although a bit too salty. we also order...

LOVE this restaurant one of the very best in New England. Excellent traditional foods you can't get at most Japanese restaurants. My husband I go out of our way to eat here whenever we're near Portland. We love Japanese food, have visited Japan 3 times. View all feedback.

Most sushi restaurants in Portland are pretty good, but there is something about Yosaku I especially like.

Yosaku in Portland has received mixed reviews from diners. While some have had negative experiences with slow service, inedible sushi, and disappointment with the food quality, others have praised the restaurant for its delicious Japanese dishes, great selection, and traditional atmosphere. Some customers have enjoyed dining on the outdoor deck surrounded by a bonsai garden/fountain. Overall, Yosaku seems to be a popular lunch spot with affordable prices and a loyal following.
