Kon's is the typical teppanyaki/hibachi Japanese restaurant which are always entertaining and fun as well. The eating surface surrounds a large griddle and the chef cooks your food right in front of you. We sat at a table for eight (there were four of us) and the chef was friendly and engaged the customers as he chopped, seasoned and squirted Saki into the mouths of some at the table. The Teriyaki meals include a small green salad, Miso soup, and Yellow Jasmine rice along with a generous portion of your choice of a main. I chose the Salmon and received two large pieces of salmon cooked crispy on the outside, flaky throughout. Excellent.The food was cooked perfectly considering the variety of choices from steak to shrimp to salmon all cooked at the same time The amounts are plentiful and there were to go boxes all around.I would definitely recommend Kon's and plan to return on my next visit to Portland.I'm so glad that you loved your meal, Pat! The fact that our entertaining chefs prepared everything so perfectly really means a lot to hear, and I hope that we get to welcome you back soon for more of everything!All the best,Chris Chan, Owner

This is a friendly and pleasant place to eat. The menu (for lunch and I think dinner) lets you choose one item from each of two columns. My friend and I are not small eaters, but neither of us came close to finishing what we ordered, which in each case was two items.We very much enjoyed our meal. My friend was very happy with his curried ramen, but I found the carrot and daikon salad which he ordered (he let me taste) to be a bit bland. I had the pokedon, an bowl which looked small compared to my friend's soup, but turned out to be ample. There was quite a lot of tuna chunks and cucumber, and a great deal of seasoned rise underneath (mayonnaise-based?), and hint of spiciness. I also had the brussels sprouts, which have long been a favorite of mine here -- roasted and full flavored with a sauce which seems soy-based.I noticed sushi rolls being served to other diners, and they are about twice the size of what would normally be seen in a sushi place.I find myself wondering if it could become possible to get two smaller salads, instead of the one enormous one. Regardless, while this is more than I would usually spend for lunch, it is good value, especially if you are hungry.

Had an outstanding culinary experience, while experience was a great value. I had the 4 course dinner menu which included Oysters, Demi Chirasi, Toro, and Uni (sea urchin) with sake, one of the freshest and beautifully prepared I hade. The service was outstanding, with each course wonderfully described. Others at the table had the Omakase which after seeing made me want to come back and try. While a wonderful Japanese dining experience, it was an outstanding meal for any cuisine.
