For the price it’s not really worth it. And some of the staff can be pretentious.

A new experience for us. What a pleasant surprise. The room is just right for the overall "vibe" of the restaurant. The service was kind, helpful and efficient. And the food.... creative, yummy and well portioned. We will be back.

Always an amazing experience at Janken. The server knew her stuff and helped us order the adequate amount for our party of six. The drinks were delicious. The place was packed and we all could easily hear each other. This is a must go to place in Portland.

I was excited to take my parents to this place because of all the hype. Unfortunately, it did not live to the hype. We were there to celebrate my mom‘s birthday and requested a table due to the injuries and weight restrictions my dad has, a veteran. When I got there, it was disappointing to see that my dad was sat in a booth and my mom in a table, and my dad had issues getting up from the booth due to any knee injury. Not only that, but we saw several bugs by a window curtain! The food was good, but not worth the $500 dollars, for 4 people, plus a 20% gratuity. Also, you have o my 2 hours to eat and get out.
