    Good food, new menu, for take-out. Big portions, reasonable prices and the people are a very nice family. Love the bibimbap and tofu dishes for vegetarians! Love all the plants too.

    Chicken teriyaki
    Darci W.

    It doesn't look it, but this is the best place to get teriyaki chicken around here, delicious food every time and you get quite a bit for the price.

    Spicy Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken dinners with gyoza and egg rolls. Yum!
    Caroline F.

    Not gonna lie - we were hesitant to try this place because of some of the reviews. Finally decided to just give it a whirl - and it was great! We called and pre-ordered for pick up. It was ready really quickly. We had spicy chicken with gyoza and teriyaki chicken with egg rolls. $22 out the door and the huge portions lasted two of us for three meals each! Everything tastes great - the chicken, sides, rice and green salad with lovely dressing... We were very pleased and will be back!

    Chicken fried rice

    Hmm, yelp did me wrong on this stop. I was looking for some decent teriyaki nearby and happened to be in North Portland. Checked out a few places on Yelp and decided here because of the thumbs up for yakisoba. Chicken yakisoba and chicken fried rice was what I ordered - both were not to my liking. The rice was drenched in oil ... so much so that they had to use 2 trays because oil had spilled everywhere. Very little flavor and it was a greasy mess! The yakisoba was not the noodle type I like and looked different than the pictures I saw. They use a thicker noodle that was not appetizing. The sauce was sweet - probably teriyaki sauce - and I regretting my choice as soon as I opened the to go container. I won't be back .. they stockpile all kinds of trash outside their business which makes the area look unkept.

    Teriyaki Chicken & gyoza combo

    This is a tremendous hidden gem in St. John's. When you're looking for a good lunch shop, there are typically three things you're after: quick service, low prices, and good portion size. This spot has all three boxes checked. My general go to is the teriyaki chicken and gyoza combo, which is only $7.99, and comes with a heap of rice and a dressed salad. I can generally stretch this to a second lunch, which puts me at about $4 a lunch. You genuinely can't beat that. The folks here are nice, speedy, and there's always a good number of people at lunch time, so you know you're going where the locals go. If you're looking for a tasty teriyaki lunch, give this spot a try.

    Sweet and Sour Chicken.....Yummy

I…read morewas also thrilled to find out that this establishment is Filipino owned and some of their decorations shows it. My friend who has had Filipino food before commented that the spring rolls tasted like pancit a bit. Haha. Not sure if that's just in her head but they were delicious nonetheless. Party of four and we had the ribs, egg rolls, green beans, tacos, pho and one other soup noodle dish I forgot the name of. They were all excellent. The staff was amazing. One lady with dark long hair was helpful and friendly. This will be a place that I will frequent. Priced right, good food, great ambiance and friendly/helpful staff.

PARKING: Street parking but we were here over the weekend so we parked in the lot for ACE and the bank since there wasn't any street parking open. There were no signs saying we couldn't so take this with a grain of salt. AMBIANCE: Inside the taphouse had plenty of seating both bar and table. The patio was really nice because it was really sunny outside. They allow dogs outside and my little buddy had a good time being out with us. There was plenty of seating, long tables good for groups. Also they were able to pull down the shades since it was actually quite warm despite the cool weather. Casual and easy vibes here. FOOD: - Pork Belly Skewer: Savour and sweet and fatty in all the right ways. Delicious. Green sauce enhanced the flavours as well. - Mino Banh Xeo Tacos: The combo I never new I needed. The shells crispy and the pork/shrimp filling was so flavourful. Loved the calamansi fish sauce with it. ALSO, the Vietnamese herbs made this taste just like banh Xeo in a really yummy way. - Cha Gio Spring Rolls: Crispy and delicious. Filling was yummy and the fish sauce added some fresh sour notes. - Fish Sauce Wings: Sticky and ooey gooey goodness. Not too salty and not too sweet. Overall a solid chicken wing. - Fried Tofu Bites: These were okay. Nothing much to be said about them. - Drinks: We had a Helvetia which was crisp and slightly sweet. A good solid cider with peach and blackberry flavours. Definitely enjoyed. SERVICE: A lot of it was self serve. Go in and order and then they give you a buzzer when your order is ready. The tables outside were pretty dirty and sticky. Also make sure to clean off your own table. Staff was nice but we didn't interact much with them since we sat outside. OVERALL: Really enjoyable place. Solid food and we love a queer and Asian inspired place. Love love love. My husband and I will certainly be back.

It wasn't too busy, and we had a big party; really appreciated that they gave the celebrants complimentary desserts, which was a nice touch. The pandan rice cake with ube ice cream was a my favorite. We called earlier and they got reservations available to be made. The pho was perfect for the chilly weather. The broth was strong and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked well. My friend got the noodles with crispy chicken and mushrooms, and those were phenomenal. The Vietnamese platter would honestly make a perfect date-night meal. This has great variety and fun to share. The fries and wings were flavorful appetizers and a great way to start the meal. Service was great overall, but a bit hands-off after the food was served. I don't remember anyone checking back in on us. Nothing was wrong with the food, but it would've been nice to have that quick follow-up. Would definitely come back, especially to check out their brunch next time.

We shared the cream cheese wontons, coconut curry with chicken spice level 2(which comes with rice), and the luc lac. Everything was deliciousss!

    We came here for our annual work dinner with our coworkers…read more We ordered "WIDE VARIETY of appetizers" from the "Hot", "Cold" and "ITAMEMONO" sections to try and majority of the main entrees from "land" and "sea". Standout MUST ORDER appetizers for your time here are "garlic wok mussels" and "steak tartare". Mussels are incredibly well seasoned in what I see as an asian fusion type of soy sauce/hosin. Great tasting mussels, no sand and not overpowering sauce. The steak tartare was the standout, they handled the raw ingredients very well and milk bread complimented it very well. As for the entree, I had the 10z grilled Ribeye. It's greatly plated, I love the addition of the sauce, salt and wasabi. It came with pickled greens and salads. But for a high end restaurant, I was a bit dissatisfied and disappointed by the ribeye itself, it was hard to eat since it was abnormally very "CHEWY" which is not normal for a high cut steak. Although the 10z ribeye was the "best value" for your dollar due to its portions compared to other dishes, it being very chewy knocks Janken down as a whole for me. I want to preface I ordered it as medium rare. The highlight of my meal was the matcha tiramisu, wok mussels, and steak tartare. For a high end restaurant, I would say majority of your dollars goes into the aesthetic and nice atmosphere of the place since its accompany with a nice cherry blossom tree and great attentive staff. Food wise... definitely went into the plating and aesthetics, I can recommend ordering from the ITAMEMONO, and hot/cold section. I can't recommend any other dishes though, that'll be up to y'all to try. What stops Janken from getting a 5 stars from me is a defining must order "entree".
