Now Open in Old Town: SuBe Sushi and Sake Bar

There's a sleek new sushi spot in Old Town that's poised to become a go-to for two very disparate groups of Portlanders.

Office workers looking for a post-work dinner or drink, and club-goers looking for a late-night nosh that's not greasy bar snacks now have SuBe Sushi. Just a stone's throw from Dante's and the original Voodoo Doughnut location, it stays open until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

The list of specialty rolls is long and inventive, including items like the "SuBe Ball" of crab, spicy tuna, tobiko, and unagi covered in avocado slices; the "Electric Banana," which sports eel and avocado with caramelized bananas; and the "Tokyo Tower" of ginger-sesame tuna, togarashi spiced crab, avocado, tamago egg, and sushi rice topped with wasabi-infused tobiko, crunchies, spicy unagi sauce, and spicy aioli.

There are also six specialty veggie rolls, and a set-your-price omakase with $40, $80, and $120 options. Wash it all down with something from the solid list of sakés or the full bar. And if you need a place for a large group, the mezzanine dining area can be reserved for private events.
