50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Happy Valley

“Location: Think food cart mall variety, with a family friendly pub.
Food: This is the best crab boil I have had since having been in the military in the deep south.

If you don't give it a go you are doing yourself a massive disservice.“

“Buena comida para disfrutar toda la familia“

“all I can think saying is it’s delicious every spoonful come out and have some …delicious I promise“

“Consistently delicious food and friendly, professional service in a cozy atmosphere. We’ve enjoyed Cabezon for the past decade and it never disappoints. Tonight, as always, fresh ingredients: perfectly crisp romaine in the Caesar salad with just the right amount of zesty dressing. Scrumptious fries on top of plump mussels in a lightly smoky broth. Beans and chorizo elevate that dish to a meal. The Cioppino is the go-to I look forward to. At a time when restaurants are following food trends and throwing anything out there, hoping it will stick, this tortoise vs the hare restaurant wins every time!“

“We were there for the first time on the evening of January 10, 2026. We sat at the bar for a bit because we were a little early for our reservation. Michelle brought us a couple of beers and we ordered a plate of six oysters. She chatted cheerfully with us while she busily poured drinks for others and then introduced us to her two sons and a son’s girlfriend, who all also work there. Everyone was so friendly and kind! When our table was ready, Michelle thanked us for being there and said that it was great to meet us. At our table, we ordered another half dozen oysters, a caesar salad, a couple more beers, and two big bowls of cioppino. Absolutely delicious with the large, thick slices of freshly-made garlic bread for dunking. This place is a true gem. Four generation of family working there and their love for the place and what they do shows. Can’t wait to go back!!“

“Really good upscale and authentic Mexican. Drinks are spot on. The deck in the warm months is very enjoyable. Indoor atmosphere needs a bit of work. Lower lighting and lots of candles would go along way! Definitely eat here!“

“The food was amazing!! The staff were professional and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“Always the best experience and can find amazing deals! We love this place and feels nostalgic to me as a child I was always in the fish market my mom worked at when we lived in Alaska!“

“I recommend this restaurant, I'm coming from Seattle WA with my family and we went to eat there, very good food, good customer service, everything clean. I invite you to visit them, you will love it.“

“Steve & I dined at Feast tonight, for what turned out to be a very busy (somewhat unexpectedly so) night. They were down several staff persons, but those there were very friendly and making the best of it. Patience is a virtue! We were rewarded with an awesome meal! I just wanted something light, so I ordered skewer and toast which was a delicious combination of filet Mignon skewered and laying on focaccia toast and some wonderful sauces & microgreens. It was perfect! I also had coconut shrimp cup which was delicious as well. Several wonderfully coated shrimp (not in a cup but laying on some lovely salad leaves with yummy sauce.)Steve had the meatloaf with Brussels sprouts which was very filling and tasty. Those in the service business work so hard and we sometimes need to give people some grace… Kudos to the Feast staff!“

“delicious five stars I buy every time I see them open the lobster Mac and cheese us my favorite everything is delicious“

“Our first time and it was delish!“

“The service was wonderful! Friendly, attentive, and great communication! We had cocktails, apps, and desserts! The Fantasia was delicious!!! The yucca fries and corn empanada were very tasty. The desserts were both unique and very delicious! Perfect for date night or fun night out with friends! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing food and service! Love love this place!!!“

“Only come here for the shell on shrimp. Additional potatoes, corn, and sausage is good too. The pre-peeled shrimp are different and not good. The hotpot and stir fries are not good either. The clam and mussels are okay. I haven’t tried their crab or lobster. Despite a lot of things not being good, I’m giving a 5 star solely for the shell on shrimp“

“Great food , better service and amazing atmosphere, all because of the service. Not 1 person walked by us without asking if we needed anything.“

“Friendly staff fast service, best sushi I’ve ever had“

“Good food and very friendly staff specially the manager!“

“PC Seafood Restaurant is an absolute delight for seafood enthusiasts! Their menu boasts a variety of delicious dishes, but the fried tofu, pig ear salad, Peking duck, and seafood udon truly stand out. The fried tofu was perfectly crispy, and the pig ear salad was a unique, tasty surprise. The Peking duck melted in our mouths, and the seafood udon was packed with fresh ingredients. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a fantastic seafood experience!“

“The Endless shrimp banner reeled me in. Literally! Haven’t been to a Red Lobster in decades. Was mostly a McGraths devotee. But they are no more. And trips to the coast are only a few times per year.“

“The food was amazing and service was great. We will be back and definitely recommend“

“we just went for the first time. great food, great service and great selection of food. we will definitely go back.“

“Totally amazed with Normandie. Excellently prepared inventive menu, relaxed and friendly expert service, updated classic cocktails (in a good way), and a few flavors and techniques we’ve never had. Go!“

“That food is no joke! It is wonderful! In my opinion, best seafood in Portland.“

“Always a great experience at Nebbiolo! Friendly staff, great food and great cocktails!“

“Encantada mis amigas y yo fuimos a celebrar el día de las madres y quedamos maravilladas,personal super agradable,ambiente acogedor y una rica comida,de 10 le doy 20 super recomendado y volveremos pronto,todo un show expectacular“

“Had a delivery here Sunday 08/08/21 on a partial load. Soon as I arrived I was greeted and told to call a number for the receiving office to get assigned a door. Plenty of room to dock and then some and it took them under 10 minutes to unload the product. 10/10 experience would definitely come back“

“Excellent food. Rotating menu of inventive, tasty dishes. Excellent service.“

“Convenient food truck with yummy oysters. If the weather is nice you can sit in a very nice open space. Reasonably priced seafood. Yum yum 😋“

“Food is excellent as is customer service! They need to put a better sign on their door with their name on it as the 5 people I invited went to the chicken place next door. One of them had actually introduced me to their place years ago and still went to the wrong place. Food was excellent years ago and still is now!“

“Tommy O’s is a fantastic spot with delicious food, friendly service, and a vibrant atmosphere. The menu is packed with fresh and flavorful dishes, and every visit feels welcoming and fun. Whether it’s for a special night out or a casual meal, Tommy O’s never disappoints. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food and a memorable experience!“

“Camarones zarandeados are the best!! Absolutely recommend this plate with rice and beans“

“Expect higher prices than normal for blander food than normal -- a reflection of the socioeconomic area and community of Troutdale.

1. Good variety of food and selection of carts.
2. Clean areas and building.
3. Food is typically bland across all the carts compared to other areas such as The Fork in Wood Village, Gresham Food Carts, Rockwood Market, and pretty much any other food cart area around Gresham/Portland. This is 100% due to catering to the taste of Troutdale's community.

For point #3, using the Thai cart and Mexican cart as standards of spice and heat, they don't ask you spice level when you order (no spice by default for Troutdale folks) and spice levels are incredibly low. Medium spice level here is mild compared to other areas. Troutdale just can't handle spice.

If you end up wanting Mexican here, for the love of god, just walk to the Troutdale Burrito Shop.

This place has size and variety going for it. For flavor and saving your wallet, go to other food cart areas.“

“FINALLY FOUND THE BEST STREET TACOS OF PORTLAND!!!!
Definitely going back and as this was my 1st trip, I'm going to encourage all my taco-fiends to go too! If you're thinking about it, STOP THINKING and just GO!!!! you'll not regret it.
The only con was the Horchata was a little bit too sweet and I had to split mine into 3 servings and add my own milk.“

“I love taking my significant other here. Whether it's her birthday or our anniversary, the setting is absolutely perfect, for just about any occasion.
The staff that works here are absolute. If you look up the definition of perfection in the webster dictionary, you would see a picture of the La Carreta waiting staff.
The food is exceptional and in 5 years coming here i have never had a bad experience nor left unsatisfied.
My wife had the fajitas, and I had the tostada deluxe.
My wife tried the spicy margarita and I had the blue mar margarita.
Exceptional all of it.
If you have never been here, I highly recommend it and I will definitely be returning.“

“Awesome!! So good. Excellent flavors and staff!!“

“First visit today. Throwback pricing, truly. I don't know how it works but they are charging what I would have expected to pay ten years ago. It was a great value. No, it isn't pretty outside. That does not matter. I can't believe somebody left a bad review based on that, while never having eaten here. It was plenty comfortable and the service was fast and friendly enough. The food was very good. We will be back.“

“Are Server was Nick super nice guy 😊 I had the chicken and my wife had the shrimp. Having just gone to Nola not to far back it was really nice to have this caliber of food here in are back yard.“

“This is definitely the best sushi place in oregon! But you should avoid this place on Friday between 2:30-3:30 because it is full of the thing you are scared of most, but only during that one hour. Other than that it is the best sushi place in oregon!“

“Amazing halibut and fries. The clam chowder is really something.“

“SeaSweets Poke is my favorite restaurant in Oregon. Their staff is wonderful and the food is amazing!!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Bai Mint Thai! The food and service is consistently amazing. They offer free delivery in the neighborhood. I order from them at least 2/3 times a month. The Tom kha soup, Pineapple fried rice, Panaang curry, pad Thai, Larb salad all SO GOOD! I think they chargrill the vegetables or something, every bite is perfect and full of flavor. Love, love, LOVE this restaurant so much! Highly recommend.“

“I love this place, everyone is so nice to me.“
