Take your pooch. Take your friends. Take your co-workers. But most importantly, take advantage of Takibi’s expanded service — and the sunshine.

The Northwest Portland restaurant, located within outdoor brand Snow Peak’s US headquarters, now offers daily lunch (12-3 p.m.) and happy hour (3-5 p.m.), providing more ways to experience their food and beverage program which blends Oregon bounty with Japanese cuisine.

It’s particularly pleasant out on the bamboo-enclosed, dog-friendly patio, where city editors Ben and Cambrie chopsticked their way through dishes like curry poutine, falafel stacked on shiitake mushrooms, assorted pickles (tsukemono), chicken karaage, and more.

They also sampled new additions to the cocktail menu, opting for the berry bubbly French 503 and the Fernet-forward Fly By Night. Oh, and don’t forget bottles of wine are half off on Thursdays.
