We enjoyed everything we ordered. The food, the atmosphere and the service were 5 stars all the way. We would definitely go back. We didn't make reservations, but they said it is recommended on Friday and Saturday.
We came to celebrate two birthdays and it was a great experience! The host was very attentive and he helped with recommendations as well as assisting with quantities so make sure we had enough to feed a party of 8 people. I liked the vibe they had with the plants, lighting and decor. Even their bathrooms were very clean. It was my first time there and I would definitely be back! Yes, it's very expensive but definitely worth the splurge for a good occasion.
If you’re an influencer looking for an instagrammable spot in Portland to have dinner, I guess this would be it. The whole experience of dining here felt… performative. Like it was an attempt at a nice restaurant by someone who’s never enjoyed fine dining. It was reminiscent of going out with that one friend that could pay for your entire meal 20x over without batting an eye, but instead asks you to Venmo $3.52 for the bite of food they offered you. The food was rather mediocre, heavy handed on the aioli and mayonnaise, and the vegetables were all rather oily. The quality of the proteins were good. Sparkling and still water were an additional charge. The cocktails were fine; they were smooth, but not particularly flavorful. What is the point of having a mandatory 20% service charge on everything? Just build it into your already overpriced menu items and say you don’t accept tips. Upon entering, all 4 people at the host stand just stared at us blankly; for that kind of flat service fee, I would at least expect them to take my coat or really even just greet me warmly. The waiter we had was good, he asked about allergies and made sure we got all our dishes in a timely fashion. Overall, I would not come here again. There’s an abundance of great restaurants in Portland, but this was not one of them.
Janken is great place for special occasions. Everything we ordered was so delicious! I even tried the vegetarian fried rice and was blown away by how good it tasted. We had a pair of non-alcoholic drinks and 5 small dishes. With the automatic 20% gratuity added in our total was $165
Literally one of my top three meals I’ve ever had in Portland. The lobster rolls are absolutely to die for 🤤 and the steak tartare was so good we literally ate almost the whole thing with our eyes closed lol. We also had the truffle tuna, the Korean fried chicken and the miso cod. Truly a perfect meal, finished with the most delicious cheesecake in Portland! Our waiter was incredible and helped guide us through the menu since it was our first time. Will 1,000% be back and I can’t wait.
