Last time I was there I grabbed dinner at Bamboo (sushi) and I swear they were offended when I asked if they had any ***** tuna because it wasn't on the menu...then they gave me this whole spiel about how they are the only sustainable sushi restaurant ever blah blah...then my friend asked if they had yellowtail, which provoked more passive aggressive anger. How were we supposed to know? HOW

Just found this thread, been living in Portland for 2 years. I live in Alberta arts which is basically a menswear desert.

What neighborhood are you in? I'll throw some gems out...or take a shot anyway.


Currently living in the Tanasbourne neighborhood in Hillsboro, but this is just a short-term thing (six month lease) until I get to know the area better. Am thinking about moving into Portland proper. Most people are telling me east of the river is cooler.

EDIT: Also, I'll be working in the NW District soon.

bamboo is alright, I've been there once and wouldn't go back for sushi.
