Zilla Sake- Portland’s first dedicated sake bar- opened its doors in the spring of 2007 and quickly claimed a role at the forefront of Portland’s growing sake movement.

Today, the city is home to one of the nation’s top sake scenes. Zilla’s sake program encompasses well-known favorites and exclusive items hand-picked by its owner. In the summer of 2008, head sushi chef Kate Koo established Zilla’s sushi bar, marking its evolution into a traditonally-focused, high-end sushi destination.

In 2016 she took formal ownership of the restuarant and today continues to push a balance of innovation and tradition.
