Yama Sushi on Clinton has quickly risen to the top of our ranks. I'm no sushi connoisseur by any means, but I've found it to be a combination of great quality, accessible, pleasant ambiance, decent prices, and maybe even a bit excessive selection-wise. Seriously. They come out and hit you with like five different menus right off the bat.
I don't have any problems with Bamboo, but like many places in Portland, it falls into a category of "good, but overrated".
