We met Roger and Cara when we checked in last week and they are nice. We were surprised that there are so many nice restaurants in the neighborhood. After learning that we like Japanese food, Cara gave us a coupon for Bamboo Sushi, a nearby Japanese restaurant. We went there one night and it turned to be one of the best Japanese restaurants that we have eaten in the last several years. Their studio apartment is located about two miles east of downtown Portland which can be reached easily by local buses (#20 & #15). Also, when we checked in, there was a small bottle of Chardonnay waiting for us on the coffee table! A very nice touch! We highly recommended this place to anyone who plans to visit Portland!
