" Izakaya Kichinto truly transports you to Japan! From the cozy booths to the amazing food, you can feel the authenticity in every dish. The katsu curry was one of the best I've ever had, super comforting and flavorful. My only drawback was that it was slightly on the pricey side for the portion sizes. Nonetheless, I still walked away happy and satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my favorite Japanese place in Portland! I've been dining at Izakaya Kichinto for several years now. The food remains consistently good every time I visit. The sushi is high quality and there are many delicious options on the menu. However, I would appreciate it if they could extend their hours as it gets quite busy and sometimes makes the dining experience rushed. " (*Curated Review*)

The ambiance is perfectly casual, and the food gives off authentic Japanese vibes. My favorite is the miso ramen, which is comforting and delicious. Although the service was a bit slower during peak hours, it was understandable. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Izakaya Kichinto recently and really liked the ambiance! It has a cozy feel and serves a variety of authentic Japanese dishes. I tried the ramen and some shared tapas with friends. The food was well-prepared, but I felt the portion sizes left a bit to be desired considering the price. Still a lovely place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was a little skeptical about the hype surrounding this place, but after my visit, I can confidently say it lives up to it! The sushi was fresh, and the spicy miso ramen was a delight. The interior feels like a slice of Japan in Portland, and I loved the privacy of the booths. While service was a bit slow, the quality of food made up for it. Can't wait to go back!
