I just had a wonderful Bday @jankenpdx 🥰 If you like Japanese-Korean fusion, #Janken absolutely delivered. Every dish was a thoughtful mix of Japanese and Korean flavors. Beautiful plates, vibey interior, cocktails on point. Janken isn’t just dinner—it’s an experience. Pricey? A bit. Worth it? 100%. Perfect for special occasions or if you’re just in the mood to treat yourself.

There isn’t one single thing that went into my mouth that wasn’t absolutely delightful. This place is really incredible. The drinks, the food, the service is all superb! But bring your wallet… so worth it

The service was exceptional, however, the food itself was just moderate for how expensive it was. We spent $650 for three people.
