Sitting at the communal table is always a wild card. In this case, the other five diners were quiet and didn't really interact with us. The same gamble applies to the chef assignment. Nick did a good job (considering there was a strange dietary restriction that completely changed the way he seasoned the food) but he was pretty low key, didn't talk much or interact with us. The two chefs at the closest tables were both more gregarious. The food is basically $50 per person. It was delicious but my chicken was prepared at the end because the chef "miscalculated" at gave all the meat to the others.

One of the best places for high-quality fresh fish in Portland! Love the ambiance and low-key atmosphere, it's great for couples or large groups. Their staff is the best! Super knowledgeable, funny, lovely people.

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.

The sashimi quality is high. Miso soup is really good as well. The back seating is pretty cute with Japanese style dividers between booths. The only small negative is that you can very easily hear other patrons conversations or arguments if they not being mindful of others.
