Kichinto - Portland

Loved this spot! We got there pretty early on a Friday and had a bunch of sushi and tapas. All the food came out fast and was delicious. All the waitstaff were super nice and they did a great job clearing plates as we went through them and keeping tabs on us as far as ordering throughout dinner.Food: 5/5

Legit reviewing this while still sitting in the restaurant. This is the spot. The food is delicious, it comes out fast- right when it’s made, meaning it is the most fresh and delicious it can be and you don’t have to wait. Fabulous sake options. Clearly marked gluten free menu. Prompt and no nonsense service. Low sensory (quiet music and low lighting) 10/10 get here

Decent food, but workers have no people skills when it comes to fixing an issue with an order. Telling a person to pay for something then making them pay for the correct order is unacceptable. Especially with refusing to be allowed to speak to someone that could handle the situation. The restaurant needs to be cleaned since there are a bunch of bugs flying around.

My boyfriend and I stayed in Portland for two weeks this summer and found ourselves constantly wanting Izakaya for dinner. He loved the soft shell crab roll and I loved the miso ramen. The hot sake is superb as well as the service. We liked everything about this place. And the little booths are so intimate and cozy. This is a place with high-quality food and great service. They even have bidets on the toilets in the bathroom! Good job.

The food and atmosphere at this restaurant are impressive! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting in one of the tatami rooms, which provided a unique experience. We tried jellyfish for the first time here and also found the sushi to be fantastic. The servers were very friendly as well. Overall, I would give the food a 5/5 rating.
