“ Portland treasure. I recall coming here as a teenager for a quick meal and am so thankful a stalwart like this is still chugging along feeding our community. Recently started coming back here, and I feel taken care of. I can see the same is true for the other customers eating their lunch. Let this place be a model for hospitality. It doesnt take much, but many restaurants in town can learn from the eye contact, care, and warmness that I get at Kokiyo. ”

“ I found this place, while waiting for Spring Fest to start, yesterday. They were just barely setting up all their booth tents still, at the start of the event. I found this restaurant nearby, and walked because I had parked five blocks away, and didnt want to go grab my car. The owner was very friendly, and I didnt have to wait long for my food. Its a tiny, tiny spot. I plan on coming back again, to support them! The food was excellent ”
“ Actually so good! The service was great, the girl at the counter was super friendly and the food was steaming hot when it was brought to us! Great prices, plenty of seating and parking was right out front ”
