A piece of Japan in Oregon

Great place to take a few friends and feel like you are in Japan. The food is great and is the kind of thing you will actually find in a real Izakaya (sort of a bar/restaurant hybrid where you go to sit, chat,...

Great and bad

This place has outstanding sushi and sashimi, an authentic atmosphere, and nice servers. Try the shirozake if they have any. The only downer is that the sushi chef is downright nasty. They should have this guy...

Almost as good as sex

Syun's food is awesome. You get a huge variety to chose from. Their grilled mackeral is the best. Their sushi is really good, too. The ambience is comfortable and interesting. You can buy a bottle of sake, and...

Best Japanese on the West Coast

If you think that Todai, I Love Sushi, or Sushi Land have better sushi than Syun, than they haven't eaten good sushi. I haven't tried Mio or Saburo, but I plan on it now. But sushi isn't the only thing they...

I Like Syun

I like Syun. The food is tasty and the people are nice. I have always had a good experience. I have been to Syun 6 or 7 times. It is worth going.

Service sucks

As authentic as the food may be (including the price being way too high), the service is very Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde - one day is good, another day it's horrible! Syun has slidden in quality - enough for us...

Good food at a premium price!

The food is delicious, the sushi is fresh, but the prices are outrageous! The service is typically polite for a Japanese restaurant, and the food is beautifully prepared and presented. This is a delightful...

way too expensive!

Fellow customers beware! This restaurant is too expensive. The food is not bad at all. However, you can certainly get equally good food -if not better- elsewhere for a lot less. The prices are outrageous....
