Restaurants near Portland Japanese Garden

Such a wonderful experience. Will definitely come back!

Adam our server was very knowledgeable over the menu and made amazing recommendations! He knew how to upsell your experience without being a pushy salesman. I’ve worked in the service industry for years and I can tell you without a doubt Adam will give you top tier service! 11/10! The food and cocktails were also amazing!

We were a party of seven and with that group we were requested to enjoy our meal family style. that worked out great. It was a lovely fresh variety of tastes and flavors and a good time was had by all. This group of restaurants-MEC-were highly recommended by a colleague who had moved from New York to Portland two years ago. I am a native of the Seattle area and the other guests were from several parts of the US.

Always excellent comfort food - this is bar-none, the best fried chicken in the world! I went in a different direction and had the fried chicken salad. It was super yummy, too. Today, our server was kind and engaging but forgetful, which was a bummer. We had to ask a couple of times for water and drink refills. This restaurant's noise level is high, so please be prepared if you're sensitive to loud environments.

First time experience & celebrated my birthday here it was a wonderful experience, every slice of meat was delicious & tender 🤌🏽 only thing I would recommend checking in 30min prior to reservation so it’s respected but once there your were come to sit at the bar while you wait & they offer bread with cheese while waiting other the. That I loved it! & Would definitely recommend it.
