On Friday night we went on an adventure to the adorable Sellwood neighborhood just two miles away and put our names in for Portland's famous Saburo's. We had at least 30 minutes until we could expect to be seated which surprised me that it was so quick for a Friday night. As most hungry patrons do, we went for a pre-meal beer or two at Kay's, one of the many fun dive's around within walking distance in the heart of the Sellwood neighborhood.
It wasn't much later that we were seated next to some strangers and marking off what sounded amazing from the menu.
Take a look yourselves because editing these photos while I'm hungry was a bad idea:
What We Ate:
2 Cucumber Salads ($2 each)
1 Budokhan Roll ($6.75 / 5 pieces)
SHRIMP TEMPURA, CRAB FISH, AVOCADO, CUCUMBER, SMELT ROE, & SESAME SEEDS.
1 Shogun Roll ($7.00 / 6 pieces)
SEA EEL, TAMAGO, AVOCADO, CUCUMBER, SESAME SEEDS, AND SWEET EEL SAUCE
1 Alaskan Crunchy Roll ($7.25 / 8 pieces)
SALMON. SMOKED SALMON, CRAB FISH, AVOCADO, LETTUCE, CUCUMBER, SMELT ROE, SESAME SEEDS, & SPECIAL DIP SAUCE
