Disappointing. The Singaporean Chicken Rice pales in comparison to the authentic dish. Chicken is not poached properly - overcooked and dry. The signature part of authentic chicken rice is actually the rice (not the chicken), and unfortunately the rice is underwhelming. The chicken broth is over salted. There should also be 3 sauces accompanying the dish - sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger-scallion sauce. Only the ginger scallion was provided.

The food is great but the restaurant feels now more of a take out hub than a welcoming restaurant. No atmosphere and poor table service.

The chicken satay skewers were perfectly grilled. The phở: splendid. The Laksa? Oh. My. Gosh!

I'm honestly confused by these positive reviews, this is one of the worst meals I've had. Corners are being cut, if it wasn't flavorless it was just plain awful. The nasi lemak was just a disgrace. I was so hungry and looking forward to this cute little place but everything I ate had terrible or nonexistent flavor and left me feeling a little queasy.

One of the best Pho I’ve ever had! Quality beef in the Pho, which often isn’t the case of restaurant pho.

Excellent atmosphere, music, and location too.

Will certainly be returning

Some of the best food in Portland! I love this place so much. Delicious fresh rolls, the vegan chickn drumsticks are to die for, and I love the crepe and wonton soup! Very filling and flavorful food, and the chef is so sweet. Highly recommend!

Dietary restrictions: I’m a pescatarian and they have loads of options!

Food was absolutely amazing, maybe not the best choice on a 100 degree evening...music was slightly too loud for the size of the space.

I had a wonderful visit here with my friend. They were very welcoming and we enjoyed chatting with them. As far as the food, the chicken satay was dry and hard to chew, as was the chicken in the Asian salad. I hope they resolve this. I hope they succeed

The app seems to require that I recommend a dish in order for me to send my review. I do not have a dish recommendation so please ignore what I selected

We always try to support small local businesses, but this one was a definite miss. Not sure what they are trying to do here with the deconstructed plates, but we didn't like it. The food was ok and the service was slow. The drink menu was limited because they were out of a lot of mixers. It was also expensive.

My family was really excited to celebrate Father’s Day here. Our reservations were for 11:15. Our appetizers and drinks came within a reasonable time frame and we were all enjoying our time together. And then we sat there with a hungry baby and a toddler waiting. No offers for another drink, so mentions that the food was delayed, kitchen was backed up etc. As it was approaching 12:45, we finally had to request it be packed up and we left at 1 with a very hungry and crabby family. I wish we had a better experience. While the server was nice, and did offer a discount, a heads up would have been nice.

TLDR: don’t get the crab unless you want to sit and wait for it. Also ask for your own drink refills.
