We genuinely appreciated the team that contributed to making today’s experience feel friendly and family-oriented. The food was flavorful, warm, and absolutely amazing! If you're looking for an affordable catering option that offers a great experience, I highly recommend Famous Dave's!“

“We’ve been wanting to try this place for a couple months now and finally made it in. The owner was super friendly and the food was delish! There’s a handful of options available, and they have a bunch of sauces to pick from. I got the Maui Girl plate. I definitely recommend!“

“I have always loved this place and it's hard to be too disappointed. The food today surprisingly wasn't as good as usual. The spam was burned on one side and uncooked on the other and the orange chicken was dry and chewy. Ultimately I still love this spot and I like the location.“

“This place has the best Texas style brisket of any bbq place I have tried in PDX. A great find!!“

“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!“

“So good! Probably the best BBQ in Portland. I had the burnt ends and my friend had the ribs. Both were fantastic. Great beers from Little Beast Brewing too. Will definitely be back.“

“I don't recommend Reverends' BBQ because I just discovered it after all these years and I don't want it to be too crowded when I start taking my dad there on a regular basis.“

“Straight up the best ribs I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and the meat just falls from the bone.“

“Food is really good. And karaoke is great. KJ Hot Toddy is great. Makes everyone feel welcome“

“We always enjoy eating at Busters and have since they opened 40 years ago.“

“Had the cashew/tofu/broccoli dish with brown rice. It was delicious! I make sure I stop there whenever I'm in Portland. Very friendly staff.“

“I’ve been coming to JCD Korean BBQ for almost a year now, and I’ve loved it from the very first visit. The food is absolutely amazing, and even after trying other Korean BBQ restaurants, nothing compares to JCD. The quality, flavor, and overall experience keep us coming back every time.

What truly sets this place apart is the staff. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making every visit feel special. This was my second time celebrating my birthday here, and they went above and beyond by gifting me an awesome shirt, which made the experience even more memorable.

If you’re looking for incredible food and outstanding service, I can’t recommend JCD enough. We’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“Darn Delicious BBQ & the ribs, Holy Hell the best I've had in a long while and may I say , HUGE! Everything was great, got reeled in with a sample and we made our choice ! Thanks girl behind counter and nice gentlemen cooking.. chef's 💋..“

“Freshly-prepared dishes, large menu with plenty of variety, great portion sizes. On the pricier side for fresh/fast Korean at about $17-20.per dish. We ordered 4 things to share, a side of rice, and two Cokes which came to $85 and change, including tip.

I really enjoyed the Korean-style deep fried whole chicken, which was smaller than the average hen you get at the market. This was closer to the size of a very large Cornish game hen, and perfectly cooked with the lightest, crispiest crunch on the exterior. It didn't come with rice, so I ordered a side. It does come with a nice pickled radish, a dressed, shredded cabbage slaw, and two enhancements: fine salt/pepper blend, and a sweet, spicy chile sauce. I'll definitely be back for this chicken again. Delicious. 5/5

My friend ordered the pork katsu with cheese over steamed rice, which came with slaw and mac salad. I thought this just ok. The batter was a little thick and, although everything was served hot, biting into the pork was a bit tough as it was on the chewy side. It might have been re-fried after being prepared earlier. This is usually fine, if done properly. The cheese was generous and good. A little salt and a spot of Katsu sauce was the perfect complement. 3/5

We also shared the Rose Toekkbokki, which comes with soft, chewy rice cakes, fish cake strips, thinly-sliced hot dog, tofu squares, green onion, and a weird addition a small amount of iceburg lettuce-I removed it because it was wilted and added nothing. Oh, and a hard-boiled egg (it was chalky, unfortunately.) The sauce was creamy and mild, with the tiniest hint of heat from the gochujong. It was good, but I've had better versions of this dish, including my own. Worth a try if you've never had toekkbokki before. 3/5

Finally, I ordered the japchae with thinly sliced beef and cabbage to go. Although there wasn't much protein, the noodles were flavorful and prepared well. I love japchae, so I'll enjoy this with an egg and some smokey beef rib at home later. 4/5

The atmosphere was cozy on a rainy day in the PNW. It felt like a home kitchen. Service was fair. Our server greeted us immediately, and we were seated with water right away. She gave us plenty of time to decide, and then quickly took our orders. There was only one server(also the hostess) who appeared to be a little overwhelmed, but that's to be expected pretty much anywhere these days. It felt like a mom and pop restaurant with their daughter doing the greet, seat, and table service, including bussing. Despite the hefty price tag for lunch, I made sure to tip well.

I'd like to visit again and try some other dishes, but price is a factor. That said, this might be a better place for a group of 4 or 6 people. That way, everyone can pitch in and try different dishes, which makes it fun and more affordable.“

“The food is great and so is the margarita 🍸😊“

“Solid Food and excellent Customer Service! I definitely would recommend stopping by.“

“This is one of my favorite places in Portland. Here is the review after over 2 years of dining here. They offer authentic Chinese Street BBQ which I couldn’t find back then. I like to order extra spicy, but I don't recommend it if you don't have a very high tolerance for spice. My must-order items are skewers (beef, pork belly, squid, chicken gizzard, chives, potato) and enoki beef aluminum box with rice vermicelli. Their oyster is pretty good too.

The service becomes more contactless as they develop but the tip suggestion starts from 18% doesn't make sense since there is very minimal service. Also you can't expect friendly service from a Chinese restaurant 😁

Overall, food is pretty good and I really want this business to be sustain.“

“This Food cart has the best wings around. Sweet and savory, crunchy and Flavorful. The Burgers are definitely different than anywhere I've had And amazing with cool city street choices! This is definitely a must go to spot! 10/10“

“So, I'll start by noting that Korean cuisine is not generally my first/favorite choice, but if friends or family want I'll go along.

However, this restaurant may have changed my mind.

As noted on the AI summary, service is attentive and the restaurant has tables and decor that can accommodate different occasions.

I'd never had cold pork belly before but it was delicious here. Their red pepper sauce is spicy without being overwhelming and was delicious on the tofu banchan as well as with the pork belly.

The fried lotus chips could be a good bar snack with soju or a nice first course. I didn't load up on the sauce but it was a slightly sweet garlic mayonnaise.

The barley tea here even seemed better (cleaner tasting somehow) compared to other area restaurants.“

“Their chair-side guacamole was so absolutely amazing I had a hard time what to do when my fish & shrimp tacos came. Blanca was our server and made our guac just to our liking by asking how we wanted.

The bar offers a quick seating most of the time (as we often go without a reservation later evening) as well as the patio seating is lovely and perfect for me as I’m always cold. I’m dreaming already about going back. Thank you for your friendly service and great Mexican food and atmosphere!“

“Delicious 😋, fresh, clean, good service👍 Will be back from Vancouver, WA.“

“This place is amaaaazing! Our teenager was asking for egusi and fufu, and when I looked up reviews it was clear this was the place to go. We ordered a ton of food for 5 people not realizing the chef was working alone, but he really came through for us, drinks and all. Every bit was so savory and delicious - my favorites were the meat pie, goat stew, and collard greens, but I tried some of everything we ordered (most of the menu) and it was all stupendous, including the blended fruit drinks. The location has more of an old punk music venue vibe so I'm glad we got it to go, but the chef says they are opening a full service restaurant location soon and we are looking forward to checking it out. Try this place, it's worth every penny.“
