Restaurants in Happy Valley

“I went here for the first time tonight (Friday, 6/30) at 5:15 PM. It was fabulous! Our server went out of the way with us, including looking into different types of tequila they have so my mom could have the perfect margarita. The food came out very quickly, our water was always full, and the ambiance was great. We had delicious chicken gyoza, shrimp gyoza, ebi tem, and chicken karaage don. It's some of the best Japanese food we've had in the Happy Valley/Clackamas area in a long time. We will definitely be back!”

“Carlos went above and beyond. Good service all around, we shall be back again!”

“Owner is amazing and friendly and seemed to deeply care about her customers. I will definitely be back!”

“First time here ! Sushi was amazing ! Tried sake for the first time and it was yummy !”

“Went there last night with my boyfriend and we absolutely loved the food😋😋😋😋 , the server and owner were super nice! Definitely 100% recommended and will be coming back☺️☺️☺️”

“Overall, everything was well prepared, flavorful, and quickly served. The steamed chicken dumplings had a delicious broth inside and the pork bao buns had a lovely fluff and filling! The Dan Dan noodles weren’t too great; they just tasted like ginger. The fried dumplings and wontons were delicious though and I’d get them again! Interior is nice and spacious with golden warm lamp light(big windows) and plenty of seating for larger parties. KEEP in mind: groups of more than 8 need to call ahead.”

“Best sushi of all the town. Genuinely hand crafted to perfection with so much flavor. My husband and I have been coming here for years, and never once have had a a bad experience with either food or service. Always polite and friendly.”

“Best cheese burger!!! Excellent customer service!!! Placed a order over the phone and trady to go and so yummy!!! Thank you Michelle”

“Super small but great bartender, my life has been a trainwreck the last 4 months but there are good vibes here, this is what I needed.

Vegetarian options: Artichoke dip and pita bread. Just the right amount.”

“Fun and the lemon drops are fantastic!”

“Variety of foods plus desserts perfect for any occasion. The foods so yummy love it”

“We had the Charcuterie. It was good. They had friendly staff, good selection of beer at a fair price, and the facility was big and roomy including the outside seating. We will probably be back to try the pizza. The pizzas seem kind of small for the price they are charging.”

“I would absolutely recommend this restaurant/bar!!!! The burgers are off the charts 🎉 if you have a salad you have to try the bacon vinaigrette 😋 I also have to complement the servers they are so fun & all around happy which makes the dining experience great 👍🏻”

“Always a good fun atmosphere! Just fun to kick back enjoy friends and family!”

“Buena comida para disfrutar toda la familia”

“Best food ever! 😋 They home make their chips and the salsas. They have the best salsa Verde”

“Sirina, Thank you for the birthday gift certificate yesterday. All the food was delicious!!!!”

“the best out there ! my favorite birria in portland ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The Black Garlic Tonkotsu is my ultimate favorite and comfort food. I'm currently sick and getting the broth is a life saver. The broth has the perfect amount of oils to coat the sore throat when nothing else is working.”

“By far the best Torta I’ve had in the area ! Check them out ! 10/10 recommended!!”

“What Thai restaurant doesn't have ginger? I also asked for an additional tea bag for my pot of tea and she refused unless I wanted to pay extra. FOR A TEA BAG! So I had weak tea and no ginger in my meal. They have fresh ginger next door at Fred Meyer ... I should have went and bought some while waiting for my order. Food was pretty but just okay. Then was charged $4 for the 2 little tiny cups of hot tea I drank.”

“Fabulous venue although I will not be returning as trivia night on Wednesdays has been eliminated. This was my go to place every Wednesday. My happy place, my keep my brain intact, challenge my rivals and see familiar faces place. I'm sad you made this choice, I hope you make better ones next time.”

“Great food great drinks and wonderful service!!”

“I ordered a salad with lamb meat. It was so delicious! The portions were generous! Service was friendly. He even gave me a small lentil soup that was very delicious also! I’m already planning when I can go back.”

“In town visiting, this was a stumble upon. lucky find. large portions, friendly and great flavors.”

“Classic dive bar with good food.”

“I saw the price first and cringed a little. Then I thought about average tamale size and ordered two despite being a little pricier than expected. I only ate one because they are easily three times the size of the average tamale and well worth the (what I now see as) affordable price. The flavor is on point, the filling to masa ratio is perfect (I like heavy on the filling), and the people behind the counter are super friendly. Do yourself a favor and order enough to take home. These tamales are the shiz!”

“Amazing Food and great people that work to bring you this great experience”

“Best Mediterranean food around. BIG portions, you order from the owners, they really care with their hearts. Very tasty and full of flavor. Always lots of leftovers. thank you! Deb & Scott.”

“Shoyu chicken box was delicious, and paired with the side of kimchi it made for a perfect meal. Very reasonably priced as well, would absolutely recommend and will be ordering again.”

“I wont lie, its a little spendy, but oh man was it worth it. My wife and I ordered the mac and tenders and for such a simple meal we were absolutely amazed with how delicious it was, perfectly crispy and juicy chicken and wonderful mac and cheese. With large portions it was more than enough for my wife and I, well probably share a meal next time. 10/10 fantastic food, we will be back.”

“Wonderfully friendly service. Delicious drinks. Affordable small snacks. I appreciate that they let you order a large and out it into 2 cups if you ask. Rewards seem to add up fairly quick. Thanks for delivering great customer service. It a bit loud in store, but they have a couple of outdoor tables.”

“We love just about everything on the menu our favorites are the savory dishes and of course the spicy wonton we will order thawed them with many of the other dishes add the spicy sauce. They also have Boba tea which is my grandkids favorite prices are great staff is very very good And friendly the restaurant is clean and comfortable”

“Good coffee and OG biscuit breakfast sandwiches , also nice outdoor seating with a fountain very relaxing.”

“I got married back on 7/16/22 and admittedly hadn't eaten at Bajio prior to starting our search for a wedding caterer. Let me tell you, they were SO easy to work with, very reasonably priced and everything we were looking for for our wedding. I would absolutely recommend them for your events but with one caveat - Order more churros! Everything was delicious.”

“I placed my order through the app. It was ready when I got to the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was prepared well and tasted good.”

“Fabulous venue although I will not be returning as trivia night on Wednesdays has been eliminated. This was my go to place every Wednesday. My happy place, my keep my brain intact, challenge my rivals and see familiar faces place. I'm sad you made this choice, I hope you make better ones next time.”

“Tous Les Jours is always good and very consistent regardless of the location. Super clean and very well decorated.. the assortment of pastries and sandwiches and breads, and sometimes be overwhelming, but not for the connoisseur.

The Matcha and Toro croissants are amongst my favorite. Most of the sweet items are not overwhelmingly sweet. I tend to like them a little sweeter than they typically make it.

The service is good not great as model is more self-service than anything else.

The prices are quite high for the small serving sizes.”

“went there for my birthday just like I do every year”

“I have been coming to this location for 5 years and usually come about 2/3 times a week with my husband and baby boy who runs around the mall and plays with the fire truck machine
First of all we love Jason he is an amazing manager and manages his store great he listens and cares about his customers.
Sooo sweet esp to my family and I

now I always get a black ice-tea with green jelly mango jelly boba and rainbow jelly
I haven’t changed it in 5 years
Now NORMALLY I DONT COMPLAIN!!!
But tonight seemed off!!
The girl with the pigtails on 9/19 seemed off!!
Today I ordered my usual and husband grabbed our drinks while baby was running around I was chasing him so I wasn’t able to try the drink right away but when I was able to it tasted wayyyyy off bitter tasting now I knew there was noooo sweetener !! So of course I went to the counter talked to the pig tail gal and said sorry to bother you but this drink seems off!! And she said what’s wrong I said there’s no sweetener in it she back fired with a responds to noooo there is sweetener in there I said no miss there is no sweetener it’s very bitter she said noooo it’s made just fine and didn’t even offer to remake it for me!! She didn’t even believe me luckily Nun correct me if I spelled it wrong she intervened and said hmm umm she is here a lot and she knows her drink I am sure very well!!! She wouldn’t make it up!! I said thank you I am here a lot and I wouldn’t make this up!!! She gladly grabbed my drink and said would you like me to remake it!? I said yes I am so sorry she said noooo it’s not your fault we know you come here a lot and we know you know how it’s suppose to taste !!! She was soooooo warm and very apologetic for what had happened !!!
And I lefted feeling like she really listened to my needs !!!

Point of my story is she made it right she always acts professional and I would promote her to be lead or shift lead she is amazing and very calm and relaxed and handle's situations with professional attitude! I work at starbucks and we get drinks made all the time it’s not a big deal we always help customers!! But that pigtail girl made me feel like my concerns didn’t matter!!! Or want to help!! She didn’t even say sorry to me for snapping at me. Nun deserves a recognition for going above and beyond and helping customers I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to a promotion Jason you gotta believe me on this one take my advice!!!!!!
You could of lost a regular
Customer if it wasn’t for nun!!!!
I would trust Nun to run the store while you’re not there any day!!!!
This occurred 9/19 around 7:20ish pm
I never want to be that person who feels bad about returning a drink back!!
Or feel like I am the problem!!

I wish the pigtail girl had a little more training on customer service and not snap back without hearing the whole story!! She made me feel really embarrassed.

“Super fresh sushi - best I've had in Portland area in a very long time. Very friendly staff. Tonight was our first time here and it's going to be our new go-to sushi spot!”

“the ramen was vary dam good for a cart I was vary taken away by it and would go back to try other stuff”

“Great place ran by great people. They were doing a food drive in there today when we stopped by. The place to be for UFC fights. The food selection is great and is all super fire. Drinks are priced right and the bartender/owner is super cool! They even have karaoke night!”

“The food seems more authentic than most. Although most dishes are spicy, their regular level is slice is very tolerable. Nice use of Sichuan peppercorns--everything warms the mouth without setting it on fire. I've had their mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, and beef with green onions. All very good. Looking forward to exploring more of their menu.”

“The food is good for what you pay.I recommend the Beef Pho!!

I've ordered the coffee several times and everytime its like they dont want to give you a full cup. If I paid for a 16oz I want a full 16oz cup. Not 1/2 full with a ton of ice. Always trying to cut corners and not give customers what they want. Please do better on your service!”

“We absolutely love L&A European Food & Deli. It genuinely lives up to being 'the nicest place'—from the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly cozy and welcoming. The delicious food selection is authentic and fresh, and their coffee is truly unforgettable. Seriously, if you're a coffee lover, you must try it. Whether I'm grabbing a deli item for lunch or settling in for a coffee break, I always leave feeling satisfied and happy. A must-visit!”

“I have had BBQ across the United States and this is on the higher end. This is one of places I will go back to. Service is quick, prices are great and you can't beat the food. Only complaint I have is I like a finer chop and a tangy dressing. So I would give Hog Wild a 4 1/2 stars, great job guys.”

“This is my favorite Pho restaurant. Great service, clean, stylish atmosphere and really friendly employees.”

“Cool pub! They had Boneyard IPA on tap. 🍻”

“Fabulous venue although I will not be returning as trivia night on Wednesdays has been eliminated. This was my go to place every Wednesday. My happy place, my keep my brain intact, challenge my rivals and see familiar faces place. I'm sad you made this choice, I hope you make better ones next time.”

“I’ve been twice in a month because it is that good. They specialize in soft tofu soups and seafood dishes, but you can also get other basic Korean dishes. Very, very good rotational banchan (sides) and some of the best kimchi in town. The squid and mackerel are 🤌”

“Drinks are good, but I order every Saturday at least a year now, every time says I need 6 more points for my free drink an I never reach to 6vpoints I try to put the code on the app an it says that the code or the receipt is invalid”

“My daughter spilled her shake and the young man who was working the line outside in the drive-thru seen it and said they would remake it amazing customer service which lead to a huge smile on her face instead of tears 9-11-25 150pm”

“Went to this restaurant for lunch today after a friend recommended it, and I’m so glad I did! The owner was super friendly, the food was delicious, and the prices were really reasonable. I especially loved the Teriyaki Chicken and the Chicken Yakisoba—they were both so flavorful and satisfying. Such a cozy spot—I’ll definitely be back and bringing more friends next time! 😋🍴”

“Best in S.E. PORTLAND. [Original] Best in S.E. PORTLAND.”

“Best Bartenders in the area. Clean and happy place to chill. I don't know who the short daytime bartender is on the weekend. I've never had a more intelligent conversation with a bartender lovely person.”

“Santiago and Lucas are lovely gentlemen, excellent friendly hosts, and serve up excellent coffee and pastries!”

“The most amazing staff! The beer choices are outstanding. Thank you from this Texas girl!”

“Pizza has gone up a bit like everything else but quality is still there, I always order online faster and easier to pick up. App definitely could use a bit upgrade to easier to use tho.”

“This little gem, not easily found on Google, to Google's fault, is amazing location with a unique type of katsu I had not tried before, hand breaded there when ordered. WOW!! Great place to sit and eat without loads of traffic right in your face. I highly recommend! :)”

“Mmm good! Excellent Service.”

“The service was excellent, our server Jackie was very nice and is always willing to make a personal connection with anyone who's willing to chat ☺️ Food was great and the wait time wasn't bad at all”

“Washabi sushi is one of a unique place to try donut and burger sushi. The staffs are pretty nice and friendly. Foods are absolutely delicious and tasty with nice presentations. I would love to come back and introduce my friends to visit this place.”

“This is a great way to do food trucks. Many options and the common area seating and covered pavilion are super nice. If we lived in the area, we would come here often!”

“Fresh ingredients, good flavor, nice and speedy service! I am impressed and feel like I’ve been sleeping on them. My sandwich was LOADED with protein! Would definitely come back! Decent amount of seating for a small place.

Definitely recommend getting the cheesesteak with both peppers (sweet and spicy). Really elevates the taste 😌🫑🌶️

Even the bathrooms are very clean and smell like watermelon bubble gum 😝

“The food was amazing. I had biscuits and gravy, stuffed hash browns and bacon. They had to stop Mr from licking the plate the food was so good. Top it off with a bloody mary with lots of accoutrements including a slice of candied bacon. Awesome job folks. Only dtaw back is they are a little spendy but well worth it.”

“Must drink or get out. 1 drink minimum great place to gamble not overcrowded I guess the payouts are good because of traffic. Money in Money out I imagine. I don't drink or gamble just went to conduct a buy from customer.”

“This place was awesome. My coworker is a huge Boba fan, so I wanted to grab him one for his birthday. The guy working walked me through the different choices and gave me some direction. I’ll definitely hit it up again. My coworker who drinks boba tea often said it was really good too.”

“The staff is so friendly and the coffee is really good too.”

“love my black rock barista at 82nd and pPowell Jon in the morning is amazing”

“Good food. I’ve had good service by friendly waiters.”

“We were on vacation in that area and we stood to eat at that restaurant and my family and I highly recommend it because the service is fast and its staff is fast and efficient”

“Excellent food & great people. We love Victorico's in Longview, WA.💜”

“Another great meal and experience. There's nothing bad on this menu, and a couple of my personal faves are the crab cake eggs Benedict, and of course the hearty chicken fried steak breakfast. Prices are still reasonable as of this writing. Enjoy!”

“Lightning fast, friendly, and accurate service every time, whether you're in the drive thru or going inside. I've never received anything other than top-notch experiences, and I go often.

The seating inside can be a bit hard to find during busy periods, and the parking lot is narrow and a bit tough to navigate for larger vehicles, but at this point I'm nit picking. Just go here, it's as close to perfect as you're gonna get.”

“Best pizza in Portland… maybe the world. 12/10!!!”

“Great service and food! They have a lot of options and everything is customizable, so if you have dietary restrictions you're good to go. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, NAFLD/MASLD, MASH, etc. everything was really clean, from the lobby to the accessable unisex restrooms.”

“First time eating here, will definitely go back it’s delicious 😋”
