Syun Izakaya

Somewhat of a hidden secret, this eatery is in a removed location in the basement of a building. Locals have discovered it offers some of the best pub-style Japanese food in all of the Portland metro area and it is now being sought out by others. An excellent sake menu with tasting flights is available. There's also a great raw counter where you can sit and watch the chefs up close. This place is well worth the trip, but keep in mind they're closed for lunch on Sunday.
