read moreYosaku 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.
