RKO

Hated had to talk through thick plastic wall and not see any products or prices. I left when I couldn't even hear the guy.

Been coming here for years. Great selection and deals.

This place is probably one of the last mom & pop shops in town. The guys know a lot about what they carry and seem genuinely interested in getting you set up with something you'll like. Haven't been disappointed by anything I got here.

Had great service from the morning clerk on 4/1/19. He is very informative not pushy and recommended several options. I decided to give Orchid a try vs using flower in the days of yor. Keep up the good work! Store was clean and well organized!

I like the staff, cool guys, thanks fellas

If you like very old, low quality weed that's still overpriced, go here. I've never picked up anything worth smoking here. It goes in the trash can.

Great customer service :)

Love this spot. Good budtenders and great owner.

RKO is a great place! We walked in and were greeted and helped by a great friendly staff. Our first time in a shop in portland, were from Vancouver and really gald RKO was where we went...the three dollar pre rolls are awesome!! We will be back for sure on a regular basis and will pass the word it's the spot to stop!

I bought 3 grams of Dream Lotus and I feel I paid a fair price considering the quality of the buds, and the proximity of the shop to my place. Interior was a little dark, but cool and quiet with a little sofa in the corner where one can sit and read the menu while waiting/deciding. The menu described the strains, the prices are listed on the shelves, and the THC content is listed on the Jars (and maybe the menus too). In my opinion this simple setup made information more easy to digest; and since the menu was freed up to describe each strain, it was easier to decide what I wanted to actually look at once I got up to the counter. I'm that person who's always last to decide on their entree at a restaurant, so the lack of pressure to decide quickly is always welcome, and this place seemed happy with me taking my time. The budtender was welcoming, patient, and honest about their opinions on the product. Overall a good dispensary, would shop again.

Despite being a hole in the wall, I love this place. Doesn’t have the lowest prices, but they do have the best quality discount bud around. This is a small Mom and Pop shop with good vibes, makes me think of a neighborhood bar. Oh ya and they have the most knowledgeable budtenders in Portland, could ask them anything and get a good answer. Would recommend this place to anybody.

Went in and bought a cartridge but it ended up not working. Went in the next day to see if I could exchange it and they told me it worked and sold me a new battery, but it still wouldn't work. Finally went if for a third time saying it didn't work and they apologized and exchanged it. Slightly frustrating that I had to go in three times but they were nice and helpful so overall a pretty good place!

Worst dispensary in the Portland area. Their "top shelf" flower is a joke. ALL of it looks like it's been in a rock tumbler, poor selection yo boot. The concentrates seem to be from all the worst, lowest quality producers and the low end stuff they did have was all over priced. Terrible place, won't be going back.

Love this place. Solid recommendation on the "Who" cartridge. Haven't been steered wrong with any suggestions. Always helpful, knowledgeable advice. Convenience, premium product, superb customer service... what more could I ask?

I live right up the street from them they have good customer service their product is always good and if there is a miss print on Leaf fly the price they will hold to it and give you at that price the problem is they do not update their Leaf fly products so when you go in there and you just read a bunch of stuff on here usually they don't have it so that's a problem I think

Great staff and great selection

Let me first say: Rather than write four bad/indifferent reviews and one good one, I'll not name names and just say I have visited 4 other dispensaries in the area. There were several reasons why I didn't like what I will call "the others". Not all were the same, but included one or more of the following negative traits: arrogant and sometimes blatantly rude staff. Dimly lit showrooms. It's not cool, I can't see what I'm shopping for. Super fancy waiting rooms/showrooms. These come along with higher prices. Not to mention it's deuchey. Salespersons that don't listen. I am shopping for medicine, not fads. RKO was the first dispensary I stepped foot into. Honestly I was pretty anxious, not knowing what the process was or how long it might take. The bud tender on duty, Libby, made me feel very welcomed, not just to RKO, but to the whole world of dispensary shopping. She was knowledgable, kind, funny and helpful and listened to me. She provided appropriate suggestions for possible solutions. After that first visit, I knew I'd be back. I just had to go see what the others had to offer. Unlike the others, RKO has a very unassuming show room. It's nice, but humble. And well lit. I feel like this is why RKO's prices are better than the others. They clearly care far more about finding their customers the right quality medicine than they do impressing you with fancy leather couches in the waiting area and stylized displays with "cool" LED lights. RKO has some of the most sought after strains in Oregon (Dogwalker, OG Kush, Super Lemon Haze, ATF just to name a couple). Their product selection has grown exponentially since my first visit some months ago. After all, that is what we are looking for: the right high-quality medicine that makes lives better. Not a flashy experience involving a neatly-trimmed beard guy. RKO is a "Mom & Pop" shop. The owner's son Russ has a proper beard. And he is a super cool cat. Like Libby, Russ is kind, helpful, funny, and knowledgeable. His dad, Rick is the same. If you're like me and you prefer local small business over huge national chains, RKO is the place for you. Like the difference between Walmart and Grocery Outlet. I avoid the large chain and purposely visit the local small shop. I prefer Super Burrito over Taco Bell. WC Winks Hardware over Home Depot. Happyrock Coffee over Starbucks. Roake's over McDonald's. And Gramma's Corner over Shari's. That's what RKO is to me. The local corner shop where they know my name and are always glad I came. I rarely visit any other dispensary and when I do, I'm always reminded why I call RKO: my dispensary.

I love this little local pot shop! They have done a lot recently to improve the look of the shop & they have some really cool, informed bud-tenders. I would definitely recommend RKO to friends and often do.

Man the prices here are just awful for Medical Patients! The quality of the flower does not match the prices they are charging at all. The concentrate prices are ridiculous too. They charge $17 more per gram than a couple of spots for the same exact cartridges! Before rec started the prices were a lot more reasonable. Seems like this is just another dispensary that has taken advantage of the rec market at the detriment of the Medical Patients that they were originally there for. I can't shop here anymore and drive past it on my way to the many other shops who still offer affordable medicine for there patients! Seriously can get same quality or better for $15-$25 cheaper per eighth at many other dispensaries!

Way way way astronomical prices and way too high tax at 25%

The gentleman working today was amazing, but... this dispensary is severely lacking inventory and style... prices are somewhat astronomical, and the quality of everything I looked at was so-so... I literally purchased reluctantly today...

chill guys, very informative and patient. thumbs way up and need to stay open...

I like to come to RKO on my way home from Portland when I don't really want to fuss with big crowds or going out of the way. For consistently good pot and quality service do check them out. Just maybe skip buying the Christmas Eve weed here. (Indica strains)

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff - definitely worth the drive
