Description

The Portland, Oregon-based restaurant chain Mio Sushi serves Japanese cuisine. The restaurants are casual and family-friendly, according to 1859 Oregon's Magazine.[2] In addition to sushi, the menu includes beef yakiniku, chicken wings, a cucumber and asparagus salad with crab and octopus, curry vegetable rice, and miso ramen.[3] The Oregon sushi roll has crab and asparagus, as well as avocado and salmon.[4]

History and locations

There were between eight and twelve locations, as of 2011.[5] [6]

In Portland, Mio has operated in northeast Portland's Hollywood neighborhood.[7] It has also operated a shop on Hawthorne Boulevard in southeast Portland.[8] Elsewhere in Oregon, Mio has operated in Bend and Eugene.[9] [10] The Bend restaurant was at the Cascade Village Mall (or Cascade Village Shopping Center).[11] [12] [13] Like many restaurants, the Bend restaurant operated via delivery and take-out during the COVID-19 pandemic.[14] Mio Sushi was a vendor at the Beaverton Arts Commission's annual Beaverton Last Tuesday series in 2011.[15]

Mio has operated two restaurants in Seattle. The South Lake Union location opened in October 2011, and a Green Lake location opened in 2012. Elsewhere in Washington, the business has operated in Salmon Creek and Tacoma.[16] [17] [18]

Reception

Mio won in the Best Sushi category of Willamette Week annual readers' poll in 2005 and 2006.[19] [20] The business won in the Best Sushi (Cheap) category in 2007.[21] It was a runner-up in the Best Sushi category again in 2015,[22] 2016,[23] and 2017,[24] and ranked second in the same category in 2022.[25] In 2010, the newspaper's Casey Jarman wrote, "A good ramen bowl is hard to find in Northwest Portland, for whatever reason, and Mio does them up right."[26]
