Woah! Delicious fried chicken. Amazing chive cakes. But my favorite was the crispy eggplant. Love/hate the atmosphere. Small place with trashy girl club music that's somehow good.

First off, our hostess and waitress were straight up like the nicest people. They were also super transparent about allergies / sensitivities. Thanks for being such champs!

Our table ordered lots of dishes - as they're mostly app sized - and we were STUFFED by the end! Everything was phenomenal. We had a hard time choosing a fav, but although their specialty is fried chicken, we all agreed this was personally the weakest of the bunch - but this is on a scale of 'everything was amazing so what was the least amazing'. We all loooved the pork belly and pad see ew, among other things. We also loved all the sauces (especially the spiciest one, which wasn't that hot!) Everything came out SUPER fast too, even tho they were at capacity and we had waited an hour + to get in.

I loved the fruity pebble ice cream 'sandwich' dessert - just the right sweetness. That is NOT for one person tho - split it with the table.

If you go to one place in Portland PLEASE GO HERE. Holy crap this is officially one of my favorite restaurants of ALL TIME. Everything I ate was good. My favorites are: Waterfall Salad with Crispy Mushroom, Kaprow Gai, Gange Pet Wings, one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had and the fries and the ranch were all unique. The Fruity pebble ice cream sandwich with lemongrass ice cream was INSANE as well.

I live in Texas and am extremely upset that Crispy Gai is so far away from me. Hands down the best fried chicken I've ever had. So so crispy and the eggplant was bomb.

Late night take out- amazing flavors. Recommend the waterfall chicken with added sticky rice. Wish the portion was a little bigger for the price.

The service at the restaurant was good — the staff were friendly and attentive. However, the food was disappointing. It was overly salty and the portions were very small for the price. Overall, while the service was pleasant, the quality and quantity of the food did not meet expectations.
