Izakaya Restaurants in Portland, OR

“Seriously my favorite bowl of ramen in the city. Super spicy and delicious. The broth is tasty, full bodied and very satisfying, perfectly complimenting the soft, doughy noodles. Five stars.“

“Lots of seating options, fun vibe, staff was very friendly. We got a mango lemonade and the spicy chicken tan tan with no vegetables + soft boiled egg. Broth was very flavorful and noodles were perfect. So much flavor in the bowls and the lemonade was super flavorful! Definitely will be coming back!!“

“Mirakutei is one of our go-to’s for sushi, and never disappoints. This last time though, we ordered take out, and although it was delicious, one of our rolls was incorrect. I’m not even sure which one they gave us, but it was supposed to be the Burnside Bridge Roll. Kinda disappointed we got something we didn’t ask for.“

“super friendly staff and awesome manager who didn't blink an eye and replaced my mom and aunts order to accommodate their health conditions. bomb food and and super fast serve time. will be back again Special shout out to Damont for being an awesome manager!“

“We love this place because they have excellent ramen and fun Japanese style seating areas, but the service is always so slow.We've been here at least a dozen times over the past two years for either early dinner (4:30 or 5p), or regular time dinner (6 or 7p), and every single time the wait staff service is ridiculously slow at all the interactions: coming to our table to greet us, bringing water, coming to take our order, checking on us during the meal (never), clearing plates, bringing the bill.We would probably spend a lot more money here if the wait person would check on us during our meal or even ask if we wanted dessert.If you have lots of time, I highly recommend this place for their ramen.“

“Food: -Not pictured: Spicy ramen is always my go to. The ramen here is always cooked to the perfect texture and soup flavor is temperature is on point. -The Pork Tonkatsu: my bf got this since it was new on the menu. Unfortunately the portion was extremely small, and only came with a side of cabbage and not filling whatsoever. It felt like a small portion even for an appetizer. The pork itself was extremely tough and hard to eat. When biting into it, the pork just fell right out of the batter. Service: - Unfortunately we sat at the smaller booths behind the work station so it was hard for the employees to see us. I kind of felt forgotten because we had to flag down an employee for things throughout our visit. I don't mind it though. Overall staff was extremely kind and welcoming! Ambiance: The place was really clean and comfortable. I really appreciated how well the staff cleaned each table after use. We went around 2:30pm so we got a table right away!:)“

“One of the best places in Portland! It was beyond succulent and outstanding customer service! Ask for HAILEY! Excellent spot; everything is so tasteful, and the personnel is super friendly. Thus, Yama is a MUST if you're in OR!“

“It was all tasty and the staffs were friendly and nice.“

“This place is really fun! The vibes are great and they will not rush you out the door (defeating the point of an Izakaya) It's a bit pricey and while the food is good. Its not ground breaking, but if you want actual Izakaya vibes this is the only place I've found in all of Oregon let alone Portland that fits the bill.“

“Loved it! Had a really good night out on the town!“
