Le Hana Japanese Grill & Cafe - (503) 681-3885

In Alaska, we had a favorite sushi place we always went to. Moving from Alaska to Portland, my boyfriend & I tried place after place, not able to find a good sushi place that came even close to our favorite back in AK. Until we found Le Hana! The food is great, I like the idea of French-Japanese fusion. The presentation is way cool, and you won't find their rolls anywhere else. I highly recommend this restaurant!

We went here on Mother's Day with my wife and my 9 month old sond. I feel what makes a great restaurant isn't always excellent, excellent food (it helps of course) but it's the individual as your waiter that represents the restaurant. It's worth going here just to experience the level of excellent service you can receive from Mike. He is well informed and educated about the food and the different Sake. He will even know the origin of the food, Sake and history behind it. He is very courteous, helpful and not hesitant to make suggestions. And more important not offended if you don't agree with his suggestions. The food was also GREAT and exactly as Mike described it would be. So...excellent service and food made for a great dinner. Not to mention our son was very restless and unhappy but Mike and the staff was so gracious and patient with our son. The owners of this resaurant should REALIZE and honorably COMMEND Mike on what a great employee they have and the excellent representation of their establishment he gives to Le Hana. Le Hana and Mike, in my opinion far exceeds the other 5 star and highly regarded waiter's at other restaurants we have been to. Ask for Mike and he will surely make it a pleasant dinner for you.

July 16, 2009 - Le Hana has a fabulous special right now that could end any time, so you might want to call and check. THE DEAL: Buy a drink (doesn't have to be alcoholic) and your bill is 50% OFF!! They have new rolls they are debuting as well. Le Hana's is our favorite sushi restaurant anywhere! The sushi is always amazingly consistent and the wait staff is always attentive and kind. The edamame and miso soup before the meal is wonderful. The presentation of the sushi makes the experience just that much better. Try to Tuna Avocado Tower. They offer tons of interesting meals for those who aren't sushi fans as well from steak to salmon with a Japanese flair. Mike is definitely what keeps us coming back - he is excellent!
