Restaurants near Portland Japanese Garden

Phenomenal! That's the comment. If you're still pondering on if you should try Jaken - do it.

We didn't wait that long,the staff were all kind and very polite.The food was great and so was the ambience.I enjoyed every bit of it.

Adam our server was very knowledgeable over the menu and made amazing recommendations! He knew how to upsell your experience without being a pushy salesman. I’ve worked in the service industry for years and I can tell you without a doubt Adam will give you top tier service! 11/10! The food and cocktails were also amazing!

We were a party of seven and with that group we were requested to enjoy our meal family style. that worked out great. It was a lovely fresh variety of tastes and flavors and a good time was had by all. This group of restaurants-MEC-were highly recommended by a colleague who had moved from New York to Portland two years ago. I am a native of the Seattle area and the other guests were from several parts of the US.

Always excellent comfort food - this is bar-none, the best fried chicken in the world! I went in a different direction and had the fried chicken salad. It was super yummy, too. Today, our server was kind and engaging but forgetful, which was a bummer. We had to ask a couple of times for water and drink refills. This restaurant's noise level is high, so please be prepared if you're sensitive to loud environments.
