" Last night was my first time at Izakaya Kichinto, and I'm already thinking about my next visit! The atmosphere felt intimate, and the food was nothing short of amazing. We shared several dishes, but the highlight was definitely the unagi sushi rolls. Each bite took me straight to Japan. So fresh! The only downside was waiting for our food during a busy time; however, it was well worth it in the end. " (*Curated Review*)

I especially loved their takoyaki; it was some of the best I've had outside of Japan. While the prices might be a bit higher than average, the quality and authenticity of the food definitely justify it. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting this restaurant, and I was really impressed! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I had the spicy tuna roll and some ramen, both were amazing. The only downside was the wait for a table, which was longer than I anticipated. However, I’d say the food is worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Izakaya Kichinto was very enjoyable overall. The vibe was cozy, perfect for a lunch break. I had the tonkatsu which was crispy and paired well with their excellent miso soup. The only downside was that the service felt a bit rushed, which detracted from the relaxing experience I was hoping for. " (*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! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my visit to Izakaya Kichinto a lot, the service was attentive and the dishes were pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the katsu curry—such a comforting dish. It felt very authentic, and I appreciated the cozy atmosphere. If you're in the area, this place is definitely worth checking out, though be prepared for some wait times during peak hours.
