The seating capacity is approximately sixteen people.[1] [2] [3] Katherine Chew Hamilton of Portland Monthly has described Kaede as a "sushi kappo-style" restaurant that "falls somewhere between a casual izakaya and a formal kaiseki", serving sushi and small plates such as agedashi dōfu, chawanmushi, and soba with duck in dashi.[4] The saba battera roll has mackerel, chives, rice, kombu, and wasabi.[5]

History

Kaede opened in January 2023, and is run by sushi chef Shinji and Izumi Uehara, who is also a chef and the restaurant's only server.

Reception

Katherine Chew Hamilton of Portland Monthly named Kaede "our favorite" sushi restaurant in the city.[6] In her June 2023 overview of the city's six "hottest" new restaurants, she wrote, "Since opening in ... January, Kaede has quickly jumped to the higher echelons of sushi in Portland."[7] Hamilton and other writers also included Kaede in the magazine's 2023 list of Portland's twelve best sushi eateries. In December's list of the city's "biggest restaurant moves", Hamilton said Kaede was a "scene stealer" because "It bridges the gap between high-end sushi and neighborhood restaurant".[8] She and other writers also included Kaede in Portland Monthly 2024 list of the city's 50 best restaurants.[9]

Alex Frane and Janey Wong included Kaede in Eater Portland 2023 overview of recommended restaurants in Sellwood-Moreland.[10] Wong and Seiji Nanbu included Kaede in a 2024 overview of "knockout" sushi restaurants in the metropolitan area.[11] Krista Garcia of The Infatuation included Kaede in a 2024 list of Portland's 24 best restaurants.[12]
