One of the best restaurants in downtown Portland!
As soon as you walk in, you will notice that the hectic city atmosphere disappears. Calm music plays throughout the restaurant, with spacious seating and comfy chairs/sofas.
They have a children's play area off to the side too, which is nice for keeping the children occupied while the food is prepared.
They have many different food options and the staff will customize them any way you like to ensure you enjoy your meal.
The owner, Kris, is super nice and down to earth. He truly cares about all the customers.
And Natcha(?) was very helpful in seating us, and providing our food quickly.
Must stop here if you are in town!

This restaurant is a real find. The venue is clean and comfortable, while still having personality.
The food is exceptional, fresh, tasty, and delicious. The orange chicken is perfect.
The rice and zucchini are an added bonus.
We had the spring rolls, as well. So good.
The meal was prepared perfectly and surprisingly quickly.
The owner waited on us, and he is personable and helpful. He was very accommodating to my friend’s dietary restrictions.
A family with a small child came in while we were there, and it was impressive to see how welcoming the staff was.
The prices are fair for such quality food and atmosphere.
This place is a must visit, when in Portland.

A good option for lovers of asian food with kids! My garlic pepper pork was nicely seasoned and the Thai iced tea was refreshing. The atmosphere is chill, equally suitable for families or an intimate date night.

Nicely decorated cafe! A lot of small details in decoration. They even have a designated area for kids for playing.

Went there for the kid play area and would absolutely come back again with or without the kids. All the food we got was very good. Wings and edamame apps. The wings were crunchy on the outside and so juicy inside. Edamame had a nice seasoning mix on it instead of just salt. I think it was a pinkitini cocktail that was so good I had to order another one and it came in a normal glass instead of a martini glass which I appreciate. We got the million dollar Ramen which was unique and so full of umami and flavorful chewy noodles. The bulgogi was meaty and it came with some very good kimchi. The kids orange chicken had a stronger ginger flavor too which was fresh and my kid loves ginger. The kid area was clean and the atmosphere for the rest of the restaurant was upscale and clean. The server was very attentive and patient. I can't wait to go again.

Got food delivered from here and it was pretty good! Ok portions for the price and flavorful food. The kimchi rice tasted different from what I expected, no spice or fermented flavor at all, but it was still tasty. Crab Rangoon had a lot of filling, which was nice. Dumplings can be skipped.

Love that we could eat in peace while our toddler played in the cute play area, and our dishes tasted amazing! We especially loved the crispy wings. We wanted to order dessert but were too full, so we'll be back!

Food was great, fun flavors and a good amount of filling on crab wantons. The play area and fish tanks were fun for kids.

Great place to stop. Haven't had full dinner here yet as so far I have only stopped in for a drink. But had the fries tonight and they were amazing.

The drinks are all really well made and delicious. I really wanna come back for the ramen.

Service was great and place has an awesome vide.

Love they have a small kids area with really cute stuffed animals and other stuff.

Menu looked good so we went. It was like a chunky cheese there were so many kids screaming in the play area. We waited for service for a while and it got gradually louder and more packed with kids. Decided to leave and went across the street to pine street vendors. Can’t comment on the food.
