Overall the experience were great. The only thing was the waiting for our table. We got the reservation at 7:30 pm but got there early and we got a text saying out table was ready at 6:55 pm. We were told it will be a minute or so but did not get our table close to our reservation time. I know it was busy around Christmas time but don't send a text saying the table was ready and then made us wait for another 30 minutes. My wife and kids wanted to leave but I told them they were busy around this time, so we decided to stay. What made it GREAT was out service person!

Super busy on Christmas... at least if your reservations were between 3:00 and 4:00. They also didn't stage the tables well. Our server told us they gave her 5 tables all at once. It was almost a half hour after being seated before she even took our drink orders. We were done with appetizers before our meal order was taken. Other than the length of time it took to be served and waiting for water to be refilled, dinner was good. Calamari and Brie were our appetizers... the cloves of garlic with the brie were spot on. One daughter had the stuffed salmon that she enjoyed. My other daughter, mom, and I had different fettuccine. Mine was salmon and wild mushrooms, and the salmon was in decent sized chunks. My boyfriend had steak, which he said was the perfect medium rare. All in all it was a wonderful meal.

Amazing Christmas Eve dinner - place was slammed but handled it well - it took a bit to get started but we were not in a hurry - amazing drink and wine selection - great appetizers and steak was as expected for Prime. Highly recommend Onion Rings, Pacific Oysters, Lobster Oscar (on steak) and it was the best crème brûlée we have ever had and we are crème brûlée snobs 🤣. Hank was a great waiter - 5 Stars.

We had our meal here on Christmas Eve. This restaurant was SLAMMED, but they handled it extremely well. We never felt like we weren't being attended to. The food was excellent, salad bar continuously being refreshed. Some of the meats weren't exceptional, but for a night that was jam-packed our wait was less than expected and service was great.

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.
