Restaurants near Pacific Northwest College of Art

Food was great. Plenty to share. The beet salad was delicious. We tried three pizzas (nightshade, pepperoni, and the fig special). All were fantastic. Drinks were also well done and the service was prompt and friendly.

Excellent food. Staff were welcoming and warm. Waitress was very helpful in marking the menu to show what foods were gluten free. Cider was super tasty. Lamb chops were delectable, highly recommend. 10/10 would visit again.

It took a solid 15 minutes or so before we were greeted, which isn't a big deal, but the Sushi bar was also a bit backed up, so it would have been nice to be able to at least get some drinks and starters going a bit quicker. That ends the complaints - service was overall exceptional. We got some fairly "standard" rolls, but even the rainbow roll that you can get just about anywhere was exceptional. They had monkfish liver on special with a yuzu sauce that was absolutely out of this world. There was also a jalapeno toro crispy rice nigiri special that was one of the best bites I've had all year - extremely unique flavors and a really fun party of textures. When I come back, I'll definitely explore some of the more unique options available - my party was a bit averse to branching out too much - even though they ended up *loving* the monkfish liver, our most "adventurous" pick. Seaweed salad and gomae were also top-notch. I had a "Scott Toddy" - probably the best hot toddy I've had (FYI: sweeter than usual). I'll probably pass on the house sake next time and spend the few extra bucks on something nicer. There was nothing wrong with it, and for $9 it'll do the job, but there's a reason you get 9oz for $9. I can't wait to come back.

The staff were wonderful and while everything was busy due to Christmas Eve groups they worked hard to take care of patrons. Much cooperative work and very positive attitudes added to their outstanding work.

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.
