Wajan brings Indonesian cooking to Portland's North Tabor neighborhood, in the $$ range. Regulars and first-timers alike describe the food as authentic, with an atmosphere and service that read as warm and worth the visit on a good night.
That said, the experience isn't uniform. Some visits bring strong, well-executed flavors and attentive service; others bring lapses in service or cleanliness that don't match the kitchen's high points. It's a place where the ceiling is genuinely high, but what you get can depend on timing.
