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.
