Nodoguro

(Thomas Teal)

2832 SE Belmont St., nodoguropdx.com. Dinner Wednesday-Sunday.

Nodoguro's omakase menu is a thing of practiced beauty, with a delicate yet bold Japanese-inspired tasting program that unfolds quietly in a dark, subdued dining room. You'll experience 13 courses. Like few other spots in town, reservations quickly fill up the moment they're released for the coming month, and it's worth jumping on for the "Hardcore Sushi" experience. $$$.
