Benkay

Frommer's Review

Of Portland's sushi restaurants, Benkay is the hippest, usually teeming with a lively crowd lured by good value. It's also the most authentic: Chef Seiji Ando trained in his native Osaka and in Kyoto. The sushi, sashimi, and maki roll menus are inexpensive and deliver a lot for the money, with a pretty wide assortment of choices. Standard Japanese treats like tempura, gyoza, teriyaki, tempura, katsu, and udon round out the menu. Expect harried service on busy nights. It stays open until 12:30am Friday and Saturday -- a boon in early-closing Portland. Finish with green-tea ice cream.
