We went to Nodoguro to celebrate our engagement on New Year’s Day, and it was the most unforgettable dining experience of our lives. Every dish was incredibly thoughtful and intentional, many with flavors we had never experienced before. We chose the sake pairing which elevated the experience even further with unique, perfectly matched pairings for many of the dishes. Being guided through each course with beautiful narration made the entire experience feel more immersive. All of the staff were warm, kind, and attentive, and made the entire evening special from start to finish. We cannot wait to return for dinner again and are already looking forward to trying their high tea service.
It has taken me 10 years too long to write this review for Nodoguro. Chef Ryan and Elena Roadhouse have not only executed one of the finest sousaku (“creative, original work”) Japanese dining experiences in Portland, they are impeccable hosts and committed to this town. In fact, having dined with them through 4 locations (we discovered them after their early pop-up days), it feels like home when we come in. We’ve celebrated birthdays and anniversaries, and every time we are awed by new dishes and love to revisit favorite ones. The photos of the beautifully and tastefully amazing food speak for themselves. The saké and wine pairings are thoughtfully curated. The pace of the meal with only one seating for the night feels like time has stood still, and you don’t want it to end. The price point might be a stretch, but the experience will not disappoint. Take someone special with you to share the meal and make the memory of the art that unfolds for your eyes and mouth - you’ll be glad you did.
A friend booked a table at the April dinner, and I did not pay enough attention to our itinerary to know what to expect. This was, hands-down, one of the most delightful and exciting meals I have ever experienced. Each dish was beautifully prepared and presented with loving narration. The owners gently encouraged us with each delivery to experiment with the various sakes as we tasted. Flavors, textures, service, ambience… all in mind-blowing harmony and absolutely beautiful to experience with close friends.
