Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Janken offers an incredible dining experience with "food, impeccable service, and an amazing atmosphere." Guests rave about the unique and beautifully presented dishes, particularly the "hamachi crispy rice" and "salmon tacos." While the ambiance is stylish and vibrant, it can be a bit noisy. Perfect for special occasions, but be aware of higher prices.

Janken is awesome. The only weird things are their lack of a decent waiting area and if you sit at the bar then you can’t transfer your tab to your table …. those two things are for lack of a better word, kind of “janky”.

Probably the best food and cocktails in Portland. That is saying a lot. Gorgeous ambiance and very good service. Highly recommend the lychee martini and scallops. Creative, high level flavors and presentations. Only dings are the menu on QR codes or flimsy unreadable paper. So, phone lights going on all over the tables. Also, the corkage fees exceed NYC, ($120 for 2 bottles) so we passed on our favorite bottles saved for birthday celebration from home cellar.

Our waitress, Mira, was awesome! Food was delicious—try the tacos and the gyoza for sure. We brought our 3 year old and there were a handful of other little kids dining in the restaurant—we appreciate they are family friendly!
