Amaebi began with a simple conviction: that Portland deserved a place where pristine sushi and sizzling hibachi could share the same roof — and the same level of care. Pull up a seat, because this is that place.
Named for the Sweet Shrimp
Amaebi — the prized Japanese sweet shrimp — gave us our name and our standard: that every ingredient, every plate, every visit deserves the same quiet reverence.
Two Pillars, One Kitchen
Our chefs hand-shape each piece of nigiri with precision, then turn to sear lobster tail, New York steak, and jumbo shrimp on the hibachi. Both crafts live here equally, and both are done with pride.
Fresh Ingredients, Every Single Day
We source our fish and produce from local, sustainable suppliers daily. Nothing at Amaebi is made in advance — what arrives at your table was prepared for you, today.
Home in the Central Eastside
We opened on SE Water Avenue in Portland's Central Eastside — a neighborhood built by makers, chefs, and people who care deeply about what they put into the world. Irasshaimase: welcome in, you belong here, and we hope to see you again soon.
