Everything amazing! Incredible food, service and ambiance. Pricey but worth it!! We tried so many things on the menu and it was all fabulous. They had a special; angel hair pasta with caviar and truffles, it was out of this world!! It is a beautiful restaurant with a fantastic vibe and good music.

We have enjoyed previous visits to Janken, but don't think we would go again. There are so many excellent options in Portland and the service was really subpar on our last visit. Obviously they had some VIPs in the house this last Sunday and our server and the manager made a very decided choice to focus on the table next to us giving them almost constant attention and service. We had to wait a long time to order drinks, then again even longer to order food, by the time the meal was ending we just wanted to leave and opted to go elsewhere for dessert. Really disappointing when we had out of town guests with us and Janken is pricy. We certainly expect all customers to be treated with equal deference. Poorly done.

Are here with a group of 10 for my wife’s birthday. All of the food was delicious and we had a great dinner. Only thing I could think to add is it’s expensive and they add a automatic 20% to your tab but overall it was a great dinner and they really do a great job with all the food

Loved the noise level most of the night, but there were a couple of songs that had a very entrusive bass beat. It actually reacted with my hearing aids in a bad way, so much that I had to put my hands over my ears until the song moved on.
