About Copper Spot
Copper Spot is a after-work sushi & poke spot in Portland, OR, with a cheerful feel and open kitchen seating with a view of the line cooks. The kitchen leans into sushi & poke done well, milling their own flour in-house each morning.
The signature item to try first is the Edamame, which has earned a loyal following. The rest of the menu rounds it out with options like Spicy Tuna Roll, Salmon Poke Bowl, Dragon Roll, plus rotating specials that change with the season. Portions are generous for the price point ($$), and the kitchen is consistent — orders come out fast even when the place is full.
On a typical day you'll find construction crews, tech workers, and grandparents alike, especially around the lunch and dinner rushes. The bar pours craft sodas, local kombucha on tap, and house-brewed iced tea. There is a thoughtful vegan section that goes well beyond just a salad. The dining room is clean, the music is at a reasonable volume, and the wifi works.
For ordering, you can text ahead to skip the line during the lunch rush. Expect a short wait at peak hours, but the line moves quickly. Whether you're new to Portland or a longtime resident hunting for a reliable sushi & poke fix, Copper Spot earns a spot in the regular rotation.

I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Edamame hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Great sushi & poke option for the area. The Dragon Roll was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Dragon Roll stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Spicy Tuna Roll was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
