I initially heard of Bar Futo when the James Beard award list was released. A Japanese-inspired restaurant with yakitori/binchotan grilling wasn't something that I could find easily and had to visit. I sat at the chefs counter, which gave you a full view of the...Read More

Best izakaya/yakitori place I’ve ever been to and I’ve lived in NYC and Hong Kong — we stumbled upon this place on our quick trip to Portland and we were blown away by the quality of the food and service. We got the chilled tofu, and...Read More

So much fun! 🍢🍡 This is a great place to try new things. We started with the chips and dip; the chips had a perfect dusting of flavor. We opted for the bento box that allowed us to try 3 skewer options complemented by rice...Read More

Delicious! The menu was diverse. The focus is their yakitori (skewers) and their sake offerings. Tanuki hour (happy hour) was nice, with a few well-priced sakes (I had a great glass of cold sake) and small plates on offer (the umami fries were tasty). I tried a...Read More
