About

Ikigai is a Japanese term meaning “that which gives your life meaning or purpose”. Owners, Dustin and Maryfrances Wyant’s ‘Ikigai’ is offering unique, high quality, food and beverage experiences to our community and visitors. We strive to create places with a soul, that will enhance the time spent breaking bread together. The concept of a seasonally adapted Asian menu fueled by local farms and the finest seafood is something we have wanted for years in the valley. From the thoughtfully designed dining room accented by dried botanical art, through the integrated open kitchen and into the speakeasy style bar, Ikigai delivers a feeling of harmony and balance that matches the rhythm of Oregon wine country.

The addition of Executive Chef/Culinary Director Phillip Michael Price to our group has brought this vision to fruition. Similar to the restaurant’s design vision, Phillip’s menu flows naturally with the abundance of the Willamette Valley, changing with the bounty of each season provided by our local farmers. His carefully crafted ferments, sauces and kimchi provide both foil and complement to menu nearly void of gluten (except ramen).
