We finally made it the Yakuza Lounge last night and Barbara said it best, "I am really mad I have been missing out on this." Located in a trendy strip on NE Killingsworth at 30th, the dining room is open to the kitchen and there is a great patio seating area. It is not your typical Portland Japanese restaurant. It looks very trendy and they have amazing cocktails to start with (the whiskey #2 is a must), but the real star is the food. The Scallop was one of the best things I have eaten in a long time - shredded filo wrapped sea scallop tempura, nori, and creamy spicy sauce. We also enjoyed two of the house rolls, the Spicy Tuna and the Hamachi - minced Hawaiian yellowtail & scallions, bosc pear, avocado, and shaved jalapeno. I can highly recommend both. Surprisingly these three dishes were sufficient and we left with thoughts of a quick return.
