Izakaya Kichinto offers a variety of tasty dishes, including vegetarian options and favorites like teriyaki salmon and fatty unagi. The menu is very diverse, with items such as robata, sushi, ramen, onigiri, and obanzai, making it one of the most varied in Portland. The robata dishes, like chicken tare and shio, mushroom, and shishito, are flavorful and well-cooked, while the obanzai — similar to Japanese Banchan — features eggplant, spinach, and burdock that are all delicious. Customers appreciate the excellent and attentive service, along with the cute seating where shoes must be taken off. The atmosphere is chill, and the artwork adds a nice touch. The sushi, although fresh and flavorful, is not the restaurant’s strongest point, with a limited selection and some bland rice. The place is especially great for happy hour with many small dishes, but those looking for large entrees or a sushi dinner might want to consider other options. The experience is highly recommended, and visitors often praise the quality of the food, the friendly staff, and the overall ambiance.
