Decided to have dinner here. Walked in and it was virtually empty. The staff said sit where ever you want. We chose a seat the the back at a small table by the window. Looked through the menu and decided to try everything. The waitress had some cold demeanor. Very strange. After we ordered, she told us that is a lot of food. When she came back we asked if we can put two of the small tables together. Her attitude was really bad. She proceeded to grudgingly put the table together and indicated with her head for me to move one of the chairs out of the way. Then she slammed the two tables together hard almost spilling our drinks. I wanted to say something, but didn’t want to get spit in our food. She is not friendly. Didn’t smile the whole time. The other waitress was actually better. Not sure what the problem is with the first one. Anyway. The food was ok. The notable snacks are the cold cucumber in sesame oil. The pork buns was good. The fried chicken was great. Very tender and juicy. The salmon rice ball is good as well. Out of the main dishes we had, the pancake was the best. The beef rice was ok and the noodles were too salty. Finished off with the sweet potato. I guess this is a good place to try some Japanese food but I wouldn’t go back because of the poor service.

Onigiri was good, a bit overcooked. Katsudon was boring scrambled egg, plain fried chicken and soggy, flavorless rice.

Stopped in for a quick bite, got steamed buns, octopus balls, and sake. So good, great prices for quality and location! I so wish we had this in Montana.

Came in for a quick bite and and drink last week! The service was on point and the buns I had were super tasty. The chili crisp made it perfect. Loved the vibe and definitely wished I would have tried more items. Check them out if ever in Portland!

After a very cold day in Portland, my girlfriend and I were craving for savory Asian food to warm us up, so we decided to check out Mami looking for ramen. Unfortunately the ramen wasn’t available (it’s a special they rotate on the menu), but we weren’t disappointed by what we ordered. The karaage was perfectly crispy and tender, and paired well with the yakisoba, which also included roasted brussel sprouts, one of my favorites that surprisingly went well with this Japanese noodle favorite. My girlfriend went for the gyudon, which featured tender and juicy marinated beef on top of Japanese-style white rice. Overall a great value-for-money meal if you want street food-style Japanese food.
