Zilla Sake, Portland’s pioneering sake bar, opened its doors in 2007 and swiftly became a cornerstone of the city’s vibrant sake culture. As Portland’s sake scene flourished, Zilla remained at the forefront, offering a meticulously curated selection of both popular and exclusive sake varieties, hand-picked by the owner. The summer of 2008 marked a pivotal moment with the introduction of Zilla’s sushi bar by head chef Kate Koo, transforming the venue into a high-end sushi destination steeped in tradition. By 2016, Kate Koo took full ownership of Zilla Sake, where she continues to artfully blend innovation with time-honored practices, creating a dining experience that honors the past while embracing the future.

    Great food with great service. The Zilla roll with the aomori and the Paloma (fave) were great. Lobster karaage was so-so. Chef Vance was great company. Would go again!

    Zilla Sake is amazing! Not only are they completely gluten free (except for the beer they offer), the fish is next level awesome! This is a must visit place, especially if you or someone you know is celiac or gluten intolerant. Thank you for providing such a fantastic experience!

    Possibly the best sushi in Portland (and I am picky) and the Sake flights were great.
