Good to know

We hold roughly a third of the room for walk-ins every night — there’s almost always a counter stool if you’re happy to wait with a drink.

House Policies

A few friendly rules

  • Walk-ins welcome. Counter seats are first-come whenever a reservation hasn’t claimed them.
  • Grace period of 15 minutes. Running late? Call and we’ll hold your seats as long as we can.
  • Parties of 7–8 are seated in the back room; larger groups and buyouts by arrangement.
  • Cancellations are easy — just give us a ring by mid-afternoon so we can re-seat the table.
  • Little ones are welcome at tables until 8pm; the late-night counter is a grown-up room.
Private & Large Parties

Take over the back room

The back room seats up to twenty-two for a seated dinner, or thirty standing with the sake bar open. We’ll build a set menu of ramen, robata and small plates around your group — birthdays, work nights, send-offs and the occasional very good Tuesday.

Email hello@showakayou.com or call (503) 894-7612 and ask for Mika.
