AFURI IZAKAYA SE PORTLAND reviews
8Visiting from out of town and heard great things about AFURI. The food and cocktails were delicious! Be prepared to put your name in and hang for a little, but they have waiting tables outside so we got a drink and played a round of Yahtzee. The only reason I took a star off was our experience with the host. From the start it seemed as though she was better than us and when our place in line was overlooked it was somehow our fault. They were short staffed and we were understanding of, but her vibe toward us wasn’t great.
I so wanted to rate this restaurant higher, the food is fantastic but the service is not. We were a party of 5 and had drinks, appetizers and entrees. The hamachi was only so so, actually a bit fishy and stringy but the salmon nigiri was great.
Our Ramen was some of the best we have had in Portland.
So now for the service, our server was cold.not attentive and in a way put a damper on our dinner experience. Never once did he check in to see how the food was, if we needed more drinks and when he did come to the table it was with a slight arrogance and showing no interest in our dining experience. We were constantly out of water, and had to ask other servers for water bottles throughout our dinner. It was frustrating spending over $200 with such bad service and Afuri certainly will need to step up the service to fit into the friendly warm Portland dinner scene.
Amazing atmosphere, fantastic food and awesome drinks. The desserts both the angel cake and the cheesecake were superb. Highly recommend this place.
Poor service and the sushi was not tasty. The noodles in the ramen were very chewy, I was very disappointed.
Delicious ramen for those on a budget, or delicious sushi for those wanting to spend a little more.
Flavors really reminded me of home and I was absolutely blown away. Everything was supremely delicious. I HIGHLY recommend!
Love this place. The owner has really good taste. I liked all their bowls and plates. Food is decent and fresh. Would definitely come back for more!
