Reception


Katherine Chew Hamilton of Portland Monthly named Kaede "our favorite" sushi restaurant in the city. 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." 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".
