“We had an outstanding experience. As self-proclaimed foodies, our table of four enjoyed some of the finest spins on Mexican cuisine we have ever had the chance to enjoy. We ordered everything on the menu and shared it between us. The play with spices, produce and protein was an exquisite symphony that in its entirety left us immensely satisfied. We paired our meal with fine Mexican wine and ended the evening with the Churro with four kinds of strawberries. You will have a new and heightened opinion of this delicacy after you visit them yourselves. As with every other meal that evening, it was surprise and a lesson in the very best of what is crafted at Lelia Comedor.”
“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!”
“I went to this place for me and my partners anniversary. I have never been and neither had he. The experience was top notch! I came in and the waiter said he was going to change my life and he did just that. I also had a gift card that had a generous balance and I was so impressed with the service and food that I was embarrassed to use it so I paid out of my own pocket. Best tapas in Portland hands down! My partner usually is the one who picks places because I’m bad at it and he was also incredibly impressed with me and my choice to try Urdaneta!”
“Great restaurant, we go everytime we are in Portland. Great food, great ambience and wonderful staff. Plus an outstanding butcher shop”

“Phenomenal! We were so enamored with our flown-in-fresh from Japan sushi options (tried 5 different items off that special menu) that we forgot to take photos. Enjoyed a premium roll and unagi appetizer off main menu as well as a bright, floral sake. The service was hands down perfect. Will be a special date go-to for sure.”
“Incredible dinner! Definitely a top five dining experience in Portland. Everything was delicious from the martinis, salads and main dishes. Highly recommend the beet and grapefruit salad, octopus, and steak.”

“Had some friends eat here and they raved about the food and the service. They highly recommend this venue.”
“Such yummy and unique flavored ice cream. The shop smelled like fresh waffle cones. Staff were super friendly and patient. Awesome souvenirs. Highly recommend the pear and blue cheese ice cream.”
“Great Beer. Great Atmosphere. Great Food. Great Ownership. Enough said right there. But honestly we love this place. If we lived closer it would be a weekly ritual. All of their beers are delicious and they have a really great selection. You know those places that all their IPA’s taste the same? This is NOT Culmination. On top of that there owner is super friendly. Always down to talk beer and give you tasters. They have ample indoor space and patio space available. With the addition of FOMO chicken, now they have great food. Don’t sleep on Culmination Brewing, GO NOW.”

“Went for cocktails, which were lovely and not crazy expensive. Food, including oysters and a small plate of cheese ended up costing over 70 per couple averaging three drinks for two. Great environment. Nice staff. Just seemed pretty pricey for food. But, who am I kidding? I never go out anymore!”
“Most definitely the best food I’ve had in a very long time. I want to move here just sonI can eat here.”
“Safe, amazing, ice cream that is a true treat even if you don’t need to be safe.”
“In Portland for the NCAA women's basketball tournament. De Noche was the best restaurant experience we had while visiting. Our party of 5 ordered everything in the menu including 3 deserts. All of the dishes were fantastic. Our favorites were the roasted/carmelized carrots and the mushroom - bean sopa. The staff were excellent in explaining each menu item. There were no surprises except we were blown away by the inventiveness of the dishes, the flavor and presentations.”
“Sounded like they prefer reservations, so call ahead.Super fast service after placing an order online (they require you to order & pay online).Margherita was tasty. Wood-fired with a super fresh taste.”
“If only someone could figure how to get Russian food right! Oh wait, these guys just did! An innovative take on Russian cuisine, modernizing it while staying true to its essence. We had a very enjoyable experience here. The staff were great, offered insightful recommendations and were very professional. The food was amazing. The lobster olivieh (on the special menu) was a star! The Zakuskis both hot and cold were amazing. The wine list was great! You can't leave without trying some vodka obviously. The ironic Soviet decorations were spot on! I've included some photos here. I'd highly recommend this spot!”

“I mean wow, so good. So incredibly good! I didn't realize that Plumb is the kitchen located inside of the bar (Deadshot). It was my first time experiencing something like this (maybe I need to get out more) and it was incredible. The food is made to order so patience is key but luckily theres an amazing bar with handcrafted cocktails to enjoy while you wait. We arrived right at 4pm on Saturday evening and were promptly greeted and seated. We opted for a seat right at the bar. I ordered a red wine and my husband ordered a Deadshot. Then we placed our food order. We ordered the cesar salad, grilled cabbage, burger and steak frites and everything was so incredibly good. Fresh, decadent, perfectly cooked and ever so tasty. Of the items we tried, the cabbage dish was our favorite. I've never had cabbage with bechamel, apples and hazelnuts. It was simply divine! Highly recommend checking this place out!”

“This has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in Portland. Everything on the menu, drinks and all, is well thought out and crafted. I look forward to showing off this place whenever friends come to town! Gabby, Anthony, and crew deserve all the love and appreciation.”

“Delicious and beautiful food!!! I miss being able to eat at your restaurant because the atmosphere was always so relaxing and unique. Thanks for the amazing food and experience!”
“Very nice and toasty heated outdoor seating, colorful and flavorful food, friendly staff.”
“IMO Food was hit and miss.Appetizers of fried Brussel sprouts were outstanding. Filet steak bites were small in portion and the blue cheese was underwhelming. Clams and muscles and french fries (half crispy and half soggy) were also expensive considering the small amount in size and volume. Wine and drinks were good and my daughter had fresh lemonade and it was a huge hit! Main courses were good Carbonara was a nice comfort dish at $28. Prices seem a little higher than expected. Service staff were very good and attentive to our needs. No bread served or even on the menu which seemed a little odd for an italian restaurant. Too many other Italian eateries in the area to try so we probably wont be back for a while. Additional info- i found the restaurant chairs extremely uncomfortable. So much so that as soon as my butt sat down I wanted to leave. I Never have said that before about any restaurant in 50 years of reviewing places.”
“Fantastic quality and great and friendly service. Highly recommended!”
“Excellent food and service! A fun pre-Timbers match vibe and the place was hopping!”
“I tried two pastas. They had a special for 2 pastas and a bottle of wine for $40. That is the price a full dish on their menu. The tomato base pasta was heavy with anchovy and olives. The other is a cream sauce with mushrooms and parmesan. Classic dishes that are done perfectly. With great mixed drinks and service that come with fine dining, I can't wait to return.”

“I had the most extraordinary experience at the Portland airport on Monday night. There were not many things open. I do not usually fly Southwest, so I was not familiar with the concessions in this part of the airport. I thought I might just grab some cheese and then get some kind of healthy bowl somewhere. I stopped at the Tillamook booth and was overwhelmed by the quality of the service. Yes, the food was tasty. The service was exemplary. I would have never purchased my meal here, if it weren’t for the incredible connection, Joseph, the server, made with me. He was warm, knowledgeable, and really enticed me to eat the food here. He seemed to love it, so I believed him. I ate at the little table next to the booth and he checked in on me from time to time and even brought me some green tea later on! This truly was the most remarkable experience I had ever spent at an airport kiosk. I fly every week. Joseph, and the quality he bestowed upon me, is a new benchmark for service at any airport in America. Congratulations Tillamook for hiring such a capable person who not only believes in your product, but believes in serving each customer with dignity and elegance. I couldn’t help but watch how he treated the people after me. All were treated the same. He even helped people after he closed. What a treasure. Thank you, thank you.”
“Both Tik Toks hold a special place in my heart for different reason! This location cranks out food super quick any time you order! Love the staff all around!!Cassi was one of the best servers I've ever had! Keep it up!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“I ordered through the Subway app and picked up in store. I was greeted with a hello right as I entered! I turned out they were out of the footlong churros, but the man who helped me had no problem issuing a refund for it.These were probably the most picturesque sandwiches I've ever gotten from Subway!We will absolutely order from here again!”
“We dropped by our Subway today. The manager was in. We let him know that we were not pleased with the sandwiches we got last time. We didn't even eat them. We left a bad review.He asked us when this happened. He remade our order and did not charge us.The replacement sandwiches were great. The way they have always been in the past. If a sandwich is not done right, they will remake it. I'm sure they would refund your money if you asked.KUDOs to the manager. Didn't get his name, but he made it right. Thank you.”
“Disheartening to look outside and watch two folks smoking on their Crack pipe. Right out the window where I was sitting next to.But the manager took care of the situation quickly. He gets a 10!! Thank you sir.”
“My night shifts at Amazon mean eating out at odd hours. Thankfully, Jamie at Carl's Jr. on 8205 SE Rhine St, Portland, OR, has been a game-changer. She nails our orders every time, even with my wife's custom requests. Fast, friendly, and always spot-on, Jamie's service makes our unusual mealtime a highlight. Big thanks to Jamie for making late-night dining so much better.”
“Great place to goto and 2 am food is always hot service is good, just don't go at 3 am because they shut down at 3. That 24 hours is a lieParking: Plenty of spaces big enough to maneuver a semi inWheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheelchair friendly”
“Hard to find, but thank God, you can find it and delight yourself with Southwest flavor heavy burgersParking: Right at a busy corner but easy to access and easy to return to trafficWheelchair accessibility: Simple but spacious to get in and out.”
“I'm having the most incredible meal for $10. So many toppings, delicious tortilla, shredded, not crumble beef and added peppers and onions for flavor as a complete bonus to the menu description which for Portland, come on it's rare to add anything more. I'm so happy hahaWith the Mexican salsa and shredded lettuce I feel like I have an entire side salad, props for my health ??So much food I couldn't finish it in one go.”
“Although I was skeptical of this place because of the wishy-washy reviews and the place that it's located. My overall visit was brightened by one of your amazing employees. Who was attentive and friendly and genuinely made me feel warm and welcome. Makayla...sorry if that is miss spelled. She was fantastic and I will definitely be coming back and recommending her to my friends to. It's so hard to find good service anymore so when it happens I just have to leave a good review.”
“We ordered the fried chicken, summer salad, hummus with burnt beef tips and the corn ribs. Everything was unbelievably delicious. The summer salad in particular was refreshing and different. I can not recommend this place enough.”
“High energy and volume. Great service. Family style small plates staggered out makes for a more enjoyable and slow paced meal.”

“Coffee is great, and super well priced for the quality. The staff are always super on top of everything and friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy, but can get really busy at times, especially weekends.Vegetarian options: Only a few meat items, the large majority of their pastries are vegetarian, and a lot of them are veganDietary restrictions: A lot of vegan,gluten free, and lactose free options for both pastries and coffeeParking: The actual parking lot is small, but there's a LOT of street space available to park for freeKid-friendliness: They've got some killer hot chocolate and a lot of sweets that kids'd love.Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessable, there's a few stairs as well as small doorways and halls”
“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.”
“This place is so good!!! We got the chicken burrito and steak burrito. They were big enough to split between the 3 of us. The taste of them both were top notch. Seriously excellent taste. Fresh handmade tortillas??? Yo, you’re trippin if you think this place is mid. Will definitely be coming back to try the habanero sauce. Tried the red and green and was blown away with the flavor for both. Highly recommend!!!”
“The BEST lattes I’ve ever had. I crave the mocha. The cloud cream these guys make is chefs kiss. Have never found better!”
“Excellent flavors selections. Excellent service. I love ❤️ the ice cream!”
“the la María burrito is amazing the salsas are good the coffee is strong and flavourful even though my order came through between morning and afternoon meat prep they had it ready really quickly”
“We came here accidentally due to Apple Maps telling us it was way closer than it actually was, but what great place. We park and on the way to the door they are pumping the delicious smell of the grill right over you. The staff was polite and funny. Even the music was late nineties alternative which being 43 is perfect! We ordered a single, a double, chili cheese curly fries, deluxe curly fries (cheese, sauce, onions, and bacon), a kids burger, and a chocolate shake. Every item, no, every bite was stellar. My seven year old son said it was the best burger he ever had. 5/5 highly recommend. Honestly couldn’t have been better.”
“The vibe was pretty good at the outside patio. The portion was small and that was the only downside. We really enjoyed the today's special menu, which had salmon and the crispy stuff.”
“Took a chance on this hole in the wall place and think I just found my favorite Ethiopian place in Portland. They give generous portions at affordable price and everything was delicious. My partner and I tried a bunch of vegetarian items. The lentil sambusas were so flavorfully simple and the lentil injera appetizer was super delicious. And all the sides in the veggie combo were delicious, even the collard greens, which other restaurants normally make flavorless. Will definitely be back!”
“We ordered fried chicken sandwich with Cajun Mac & cheese and fried popcorn chicken with fried cauliflower bites and portobello mushrooms. Last the friend apple pie. Everything was DELICIOUS!!!!! Definitely returning again”
“First of all, wow! Best poke bowls I’ve ever had. My friend and I came here and ordered the Tomyum Salmon Poke and the Aburi Salmon Don, along with some baked mussels. The fish is so fresh and they even give you free miso soup with every bowl and a little utensil bag with a hand towel and toothpick. I also recommend the onigiri (perfect snack). I’ll definitely be back soon!”
“First time eating Ethiopian food, trusted the waiter to choose our food and wine pairing and he hit it spot on! Everything was absolutely delicious. So fresh and spicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back often!”
“I love the vibe here! It reminds me of a combination of central and South American local neighborhoods brought into one scene. Any place with fried yucca is authentic to me! The service was extremely quick, attentive and the food was very fresh. The side salsas were excellent. I recommend ordering a Refajo on a hot day.”
“My boyfriend and I came on a whim. I don’t think I’ve had better food in Portland and we go to a lot of restaurants. If you are looking for a mouth-orgasm come here. Absolutely delicious food!”
“They made up for their mistake. Mothers Day breakfast party of only 4, started out great, hostess, waitress were just great. Waitress took our order promptly. All is good so far. After 30 minutes, no food. After 40, no food. Our waitress forgot to put in our order. We continued waiting. 1 hour now, still no food. We asked again about our food to the manager. They kept saying, any minute now like if only a few minutes had gone by. Needless to say, we were very upset. Moms day breakfast ruined!!. Manager was under the impression that we had only been waiting just a few minutes . Miscommunication among staff. Not good. The only reason we stayed was because all other restaurants close by were already packed with people. Our food finally arrived and it was delicious, I wont lie. Excellent food. A few minutes later the chef came out to our table very, extremely apologetic and accepting their mistake on behalf of the restaurant and she made sure to make things right and really took care of us. This shows that this place cares about their reputation, their image, their customer satisfaction. After the whole ordeal, we left satisfied that staff made up for their mistake. We will still return to this restaurant next time we visit Portland. Food is great.”

“Haley was an absolute pleasure to order from. Great customer service and made us feel not only welcome but carried on a great conversation during the process. Outstanding drinks we received and service. Nice lil set up and we enjoyed the covered deck while waiting and conversing. Highly recommend Slowbomb Coffee!”
“Some of the best Lebanese I’ve had. Baba Ghanouje starter was flavorful and ample for 3. Chicken was cooked perfectly and juicy in chicken shawarma, great hummus with it as well. Vegetarian Sheikh Al Mehshi was also very good, eggplant tasted great.”
“I love this place! It’s fast and convenient. You pay the same amount you would at a Starbucks/ popular chain but get wayy better quality and inventive foods/ drinks. Plus you’re supporting local! The owner is also very sweet. 100% recommend.”
“Excellent customer service!!! Large selection of beverages, breakfast sandwiches and muffins. Very efficient baristas taking excellent care of drive through customers. Need a burger fix? Hit the Spot food cart is in the same parking lot!!!!”
“You can tell that everything is made with love. The white chocolate raspberry scone was cut from the baking tray and was still warm when it was handed to me. So good!”
“Handmade tortillas are amazing! Asada tacos had a lot of fat chunks in it, but the flavor was good. I asked for my tripa tacos to be extra crunchy but they were soggy ? the place is really run down and not very clean. But the salsas and birria plate made up for it. Next time ill take it to go ”
“Best Mexican food in the area, fresh food, made quickly with care. Can't tell you how much we love Saul and his cart, they never disappoint, always tasty and generous portions at a very reasonable price. Hope they never leave, we're there at least once a week. We wish them the best with the upgraded new truck, and eating area, more great food!!”
“All the dogs were cooked to perfection and delicious! The hand dipped corn dogs are to die for! Get any dog or sausage as a corn dog! The options are plenty and definitely worth the stop. Prices are very reasonable. I'm not a hotdog person and I loved this place.”
“This place is great!The coffee was a bit less than hot, but the barista, Emma made up for it as she was super sweet and extra hot!Will be back again next time for sure.”
“This is a Papa Murphy's take and bake pizza store. In case you have never experienced a Papa Murphy's before, I will explain. There is no inside dining, the reason is that Papa Murphy's sells uncooked pizza. Some very good uncooked pizzas. My favorite is the chicken garlic pizza.”
“Denise and Elizabeth have amazing customer care. They were dealing with a processing server error (that had been occurring all day) and they explained exactly what was happening and handled us and the line exceptionally. For something that was completely out of their control, in a busy airport location, they handled themselves great!”
“Amazing coffee even better service. I've been going for about a month or so. I'm super happy to have found a local coffee stand. Kind of has the cheers vibe for me now lol”
“Great service Best kept secretDietary restrictions: Pretty much open to making something to please youParking: Drive thruKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes open space”
“we came to arden for a friday night dinner. definitely recommend making a reservation. we ordered a couples glasses of wine with some recommendations from the server. their menu recommends wine pairings with their food too. we started with the foie gras. it had a delicious savory/sweet combo with a rhubarb jam. we got the burrata and carrots which were absolutely delicious with great flavoring, especially the dill. the summer creamy spaghetti was delicious with some mushrooms and peas. the steak was nicely cooked, and had a bit of a stroganoff/french onion vibe with the flavoring. would recommend if you're in the pearl district looking for some good food and wine!”

“Always a wonderful experience. Top notch plant based cuisine with a wonderful twist of flavor combinations.True care and time goes into their menu, tonight we enjoyed house made tempe, sauces, vinegars, and fermented beverages that have been crafting for months.Far more than just a meal Astera delivers a dining experience worth the price of admission.Highly recommend!”
“We recently came to Portland for my sister's bachelorette. She loves steakhouses and so when I found out that RingSide Steakhouse is the oldest steakhouse in Portland, I knew we had to come here. Online the reservations portal only allows for reservations for party of seven or less. Eight or more, you have to email them. So I did and got my options. When I let them know that I was just interested in dining in the main area they did that for me. They called me the day before our reservation to confirm. When we arrived we were greeted immediately. When we sat down our server was great. He explained the menu and answered all our questions. The majority of our group got the ribeye for two and split them. And the nice part is the restaurant splits and serves it on separate plates. We also ordered a large order of onion rings for the table. We also ordered several sides to share amongst the table. We ordered the cabbage, pole beans, lobster mashed potatoes, and Korean spiced heirloom carrots. I got the crab cakes as my meal. All the food was good. The ribeye comes with one choice of a side. The ribeye was tender and everyone's was cooked just the way they asked. The dessert was delicious. They also sent the crème brûlée free of charge since we were celebrating. The chocolate mousse was so good. The banana ice cream was so good and it worked with the whole dessert. The cheesecake was good too.”
“I live in this area and never really noticed this restaurant from the outside because the exterior is nothing special and the dim lighting inside doesn't give you a hint of the festivities inside. But after reading about it on a website for best Italian restaurants, I went for dinner with a friend. We sat at the counter (and were able to order ala carte, there was no tasting menu only). Overall, the vibe is friendly neighborhood restaurant that's a bit high-end. The dishes are bit pricey (and like some people said already, the portions, especially the antipasti, are on the small end) but the flavors and cooking are really well done. The pasta of course was perfectly fresh (we had the agnolotti) and the pork tomahawk special of the day ($53) was an interesting mix of pork chop and chorizo. Service was super attentive, but like others said, maybe too attentive because they check on you so often that at one point I felt I couldn't really enjoy the meal with all the interruptions. I can see how this is a great place to celebrate a special occasion and the quality is first rate, people just need to be prepared for what it is, which is slightly smaller dishes at premium prices. With an Italian menu, there are several courses (like a primi and secondi) so if you want to do all courses, including desserts, then probably can share. But if you're not planning to do multiple dishes, then the serving size is good for one person.”
“What an amazing night we had! We were celebrating our 26th Wedding Anniversary and everyone of the staff went out of their way to make sure it was the best night possible for us and all wishing us a Happy 26th Anniversay. The food was excellent, the care of professionalism was the best bar none. We will be back!Our gratitude to Mark our waiter and the entire staff, please don't forget to thank them all for us, even our car attendant was kind and courteous.I can't say Thank you to each and everyone for such a delightful night and a memory we will hold in our hearts and minds for the rest of our lives. And also to the gracious lady at the next table who paid for part of our dinner. We feel truly blessed.”
“alright listen. i know you're expecting a 5 because this place's reviews are absolutely popping off. but this place just didn't live up to the expectation. food was mid but service was AMAZING which is what saved it. ambiance was also good and i overall enjoyed the experience. would i go again? no... but would i recommend for a one time fancy night out? maybe! have fun!”
“Fresh, delicious and tasty soul food! All fried food is made once ordered. The greens had meaty flavorful ham hock and the Mac and cheese was tasty and delicious. We will be back!”
“Wonderful, varied and creative menu, somewhat expensive but worth the price especially for special occasions. Also appreciate that Janken is making it clear on their bill that 20% gratuity is added and not putting any extra stress or pressure on the patron to consider additional gratuity (looking at you Nostrana). Well done.”
“My good friend Renee and I had an enchanted evening at Domaine Serene where we had the pleasure of trying their ambitious new menu which is now available to the public. The new menu has been crafted in collaboration with iconic, local Executive Chef George Morris, of Bos Taurus and Nomé notoriety, and features creative wine-inspired cuisine with a French bistro flair, and notable Pacific Northwest ingredients. We had been eagerly anticipating the new menu launch event, and it was a memorable and magical experience with every course. Our multi-course dinner was exceptional, and the world class wine pairings were curated with thoughtfulness. Some of our favorite dishes included: Amuse-Bouche // Shigoku Oysters on The Half Shell w/ Blood Orange ‘R’ Rosé Granita, & Yuzu Kosho. Beef Short Rib Bourguignon // Creamy Polenta, Root Vegetables, w/ a Red Wine Jus. For me, the culinary star of the show, and probably one of the best dishes I’ve ever had: The Steamed Foie Gras Wontons A rich, delectable creation framed with a Smoke-Forward Shoyu, and Aromatic; Miyagi Chili Oil, Hints of Mint From the Shiso, and the citrus notes from the lime accentuated the strengths of the dish with a delicate balance. With their exciting new menu, and added team members, now is a great time to go experience the serendipity of Domaine Serene for yourself.”
“We had a wonderful first time experience at the Ritz Bellpine Restaurant. All the employees made our Anniversary a special event. The food choices were not as broad as we hoped, but the items we picked were great. The special touches that our waiter added for our anniversary were wonderful. Even the Valet went out of the way to add a special touch. It was a very classy experience.”

“Had another wonderful breakfast here! Had Gabriel again for a server this trip. He’s just friendly and knowledgeable about the menu! Love it here. I had the Denver omelet this time- a staple breakfast for me. They use real ham steak and red pepper. It’s so good. Will definitely be back when I’m in the area!”
“Fabulous drink selection. I was struggling because I wanted one of everything, and our server suggested letting the bartender create something based on the flavors I was looking for. The result was an incredibly delicious passion fruit mezcal drink that rocked my world.They infuse some of their spirits too. One was vodka sesame, another with cardamom - super cool.Impressive tequila and mezcal selection, and still had room at the bar for a great bourbon selection too!The music was also great!Parking: Free depending upon time of dayKid-friendliness: Leave ‘em at homeWheelchair accessibility: Roll on in”
“The collection of books and board games is AMAZING. Not to mention the artwork and attention to detail for the experience. DEFINITELY recommend whether with your kiddos or as a date night experience destination.”
“Get the PORK BELLY SANDWICH and the KILLER FRIES guys!!!! Let’s support this family owned business because it’s worth it!?Sandwich: Pork Belly is on a different level (Also recommend Lemongrass pork/chicken) The carrot and cucumber daico is so different than other places, which is a plus point from me. 10/10?Killer Fries: I found this on delivery app but couldn’t find it on the menu in store. I’m pretty sure it’s still available as a “secret” menu. It has fries, bulgogi meat, and 3 kinds of sauce. You have to give this a try!!! 10/10They also make their own hot sauce which is FIREEEEE?. Like what’s better than fresh sauce compare to on-the-market sauceI got the combo which is the sandwich, potsticker, and thai tea and everything is phenomenal. I didn’t expect it to be this good and you can feel the freshness of everything. I love family owned business and this place has prove its worth. Will come back for sure?”
“The owner is the sweetest and nicest lady and the dishes we ordered were ok. (Vegan Tamales and Potato Taco's) Of particular note the servings are VERY large (3 HUGE tamales along with beans and rice) were included in my order and my friend also was served 3 large tacos along with sides in her order. The only thing that missed the mark was the sweet potato pie. It was rubbery and not too tasty. I think next time I am in Portland I will try the Cobbler here instead. Overall for sure please visit Cokiea's Kitchen in Rose City Food Park as it is worth the trip.”
“First time here. Everything was delicious! But especially the downtown shrimp and grits. I can't wait to come back and try the uptown version. Our server was wonderful and the entire experience was *chef's kiss *! We live an hour and a half away, but I will make the special trip to come back. What a gem!”
“Best lollipop chicken and garlic noodles in town!! Great friendly owners :)”
“Incredible. I’ve never felt such a profound emotional reaction to something as simply advertised as pizza. It was an out of body experience and I’m assuming it’s this way because it’s somebody’s life work. It’s the only explanation I have. If that’s the case then it’s somehow elaborately deceptive in its facade of simple ingredients because it’s completely engineered to make you feel something so profound it catches you off guard in a world full of distractions.”
“Citrus pork taco rib eye taco fish taco holy moly jess jess jesssssssss. Taquitos are of course jammin as well as everything else on the menu but them 3 are the best tacos I ever had in the general Portland ”
“Freshest ingridient tacos you ever gonna get. The ribeye taco with fried picked onions is that EXTRA that you are looking for haha. Add a shrimp taco for a little surf and turf! Remy running front counter, keeps everything running smoothly always greets you with a smile on his face and a positive attitude. Great cusotmer service! Highly recommend if you're looking for some higher end tacos.”
“I love this food so much! My family and I have been going to the 14th St carts for a long time now, and we always have a great time. Mama’s Peruvian Bowls is FAVORITE cart. The food is amazing, and I love the people who own the cart. They are so friendly. I HIGHLY recommend MPB!”
“I had the bulgogi beef, cheese corn, and ban-chan. This was a very quiet, relaxing and delicious experience! Eating here felt like being cared for at someone's home, everything was presented with such care. It really made me realize how many of the Korean restaurants I go to are focused on Korean bar food.Parking: This is in the heart of St John's commercial area, so all parking is street parking.”
“This is the place to go for sour beers. We ordered a bunch of 2oz pours and tried everything. The Bruschetta was unique and awesome. Risotto was great. They have a huge bottle list and sell lots of things in cans. The service was spot on and the location was great. We will be back.”
“while menu is limited, the selections are delicious and satisfying! Sisters is a favorite for flavorful vegetarian choices that don't make us miss meat protein!”
“Such delicious smoothies and sandwiches, plus great customer service! Thrilled to have such a spot in the neighborhood!!”
“Went for cocktails, which were lovely and not crazy expensive. Food, including oysters and a small plate of cheese ended up costing over 70 per couple averaging three drinks for two. Great environment. Nice staff. Just seemed pretty pricey for food. But, who am I kidding? I never go out anymore!”
“IMO Food was hit and miss.Appetizers of fried Brussel sprouts were outstanding. Filet steak bites were small in portion and the blue cheese was underwhelming. Clams and muscles and french fries (half crispy and half soggy) were also expensive considering the small amount in size and volume. Wine and drinks were good and my daughter had fresh lemonade and it was a huge hit! Main courses were good Carbonara was a nice comfort dish at $28. Prices seem a little higher than expected. Service staff were very good and attentive to our needs. No bread served or even on the menu which seemed a little odd for an italian restaurant. Too many other Italian eateries in the area to try so we probably wont be back for a while. Additional info- i found the restaurant chairs extremely uncomfortable. So much so that as soon as my butt sat down I wanted to leave. I Never have said that before about any restaurant in 50 years of reviewing places.”
“We LOVED this place. Knocked it out of the park. Really fun space and great food. We ordered six different plates and they were all home runs. Need to come back and try the rest.”
“The vibe was pretty good at the outside patio. The portion was small and that was the only downside. We really enjoyed the today's special menu, which had salmon and the crispy stuff.”
“No resys, just walk ins and it's busy but going earlier is always best or be prepared to wait a bit. It's more than worth it, the food is fire and with the portions it still feels like a lot but it's nice to try a little of everything. My favorite is the pesto and oyster mushroom pasta dish and the radiatore with lamb! Great wine selection as well. Quaint small and nice spot.”
“Food was better than I was expecting, though unsurprisingly the curry is very VERY mild. Lots of consoles to choose from and tons of cool classic games, good spot to chill for the evening.”
“This has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in Portland. Everything on the menu, drinks and all, is well thought out and crafted. I look forward to showing off this place whenever friends come to town! Gabby, Anthony, and crew deserve all the love and appreciation.”
“This place took over what used to be Pot & Spicy. The interior is pretty much the same - nice and simple. The food offerings was a bit similar to before. We ordered a few skewers and a bowl of Beef Golden Soup to share. The server was friendly and quick to get our order in. The bacon needle mushroom and beef skewers were tasty, as well as the chicken heart skewers. The popcorn chicken could have used a better batter, in my opinion. It was more of a panko coat to it and needed more spice to it. The Beef Golden Soup was flavorful, and I enjoyed it.”
“Atmosphere is hard to come by. It’s either earned after years of being the neighborhood watering hole or it’s created out of whole cloth. Hale Pele, being a tiki bar, does the latter, and boy do they do it well. When you walk in, you feel like you’ve stumbled into another world miles and miles away from Broadway. The drinks are killer, the vibe is cheeky fun, and it’s dark enough, loud enough, and colorful enough to lend a whole lot of intrigue to any night of the week.”
“We were out last night looking for some new & interesting dining and discovered this really trendy eatery . There atrium was magnificent to dine in as we ordered an Italian charcuterie board for our starter. We followed with a tequila Negroni that was sooo goooood Next was a yummy dish of prawns in a buttery sauce - they were cut thin with the whole prawn wow!!! Great service from the dining staff and 4 sure a repeater for us. Bon Appetite Ronn just Ronn The hole in the wall food guy”
“I had the pleasure of trying out Gnarly's via Uber Eats when my husband and I were visiting Portland. The food was delicious! Absolutely one of the best burgers I've had. Period. I had the paddy's melt and OMGfry, and my husband has the big salad and fries. My husband and I didn't even get through finishing our burgers yet and agreed that we need to come back the next time we're visiting. Vegan or not, Gnarly's is a must try! If I lived in Portland, I definitely would be going here at least once a week because it's that good. Can't wait to drop by the Swan Dive next time and grab a shake as well :)”
“We have been satisfied customers since 2018 and have dined in and COVID take away more than a dozen times. Jon and his crew has never disappointed. Yes there have been highs and lows with the lows never derailing. This small classic French Bistro accommodates 22 per seating on a packed night. Reservations are a must. Tonight there three parties who were repeat customers think they can show up on a Friday at 7pm and expect there are open seats. We were fortunate to benefit from a new menu that consistently plays on classic French bistro faire based on fresh and seasonal ingredient's. Love to find the comforts of a classic baguette, pate, fresh greens and flavorful entree offerings. The wine list changes weekly and I would recommend allowing John to pair your wines with your order. We settled on Baguette, Fresh Greens, Scallops, salmon and friendly banter with staff. Once again not a disappointing night out.”
“This hands down is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland OR. It the same quality of other top spots in the US like Nobu , O-Ya , and Morimoto . The location is perfect located in the Pearl district. The chefs are high quality and the fish is extremely fresh. They have a great but simple flavor approach. The service is warm, helpful, and appreciative. I always ask for Joy as she is a true professional and loves providing an exceptional experience on every visit.”
“We sat at the bar and loved the atmosphere… service was superb (thank you Nick) and the food delicious”
“Went on a Monday evening for dumplings: crystal shrimp, pork and shrimp xiao long bao , pork and crab xiao long bao. Ordered pork belly on a whim. Everything was fantastic. Get the yuzu lemon drop!”
“I have been wanting to try this restaurant for so long but they were only open for dinner. I happened to be in the area during the day and saw they were open for lunch and immediately ordered for pick up! I ordered the Greek salad and hummus. You can tell a lot by staple items. The salad was delicious, fresh and a good size. I could have dipped everything in the dressing! The hummus was a nice creamy consistency to go along with the delicious pita. Looking forward to coming back to dine in!”
“Absolutely delightful place with fantastic tasting food. When you do a happy dance in your chair because it's that good. You know you have to tell others about it. This place will not disappoint. A must try and must make a reservation.”
“My kids took me to Jeju for a memorable delicious surprise birthday dinner last night. It was a wonderful high quality healthy food experience with every dish well-balanced, full of umami. Their desserts were out-of-this-world so Scrumptious. Amazing service-thoughtful and attentive, warm inviting ambience...”
“Dead shot was an amazing experience. The point of the pallet is to set the tone and let the masters decide your fate. You won't be disappointed, humbled and ready for my next visit.”
“I recently attended an event catered by Kabob and was delighted by the variety and quality of the dishes they provided. The choices I made were all vegetarian, but from the comments I over heard everyone enjoyed their non-vegetarian meals as much as I did my plant based one.”
“Amazing everything: drinks, appetizers, main courses, and service.The meats in the mains were cooked very moist and tender. The accompanying sauces are very Southeast Asian.Our server took the time to explain a bit about the kind of royal Thai cuisine and inspirations for their menu items.”
“Best place for great drinks and amazing bartenders. Check it out Sat or Sunday nights and hang with Geoffrey . The cold brew coffee White Russian is amazing!!”
“Seriously my favorite bowl of ramen in the city. Super spicy and delicious. The broth is tasty, full bodied and very satisfying, perfectly complimenting the soft, doughy noodles. Five stars.”
“Had a great meal here on Friday night, including some of the best gluten free pasta we've ever had. Service was lovely, very professional and we were treated well. Was a nice evening out. We did make a reservation, which was ready and waiting for us. I would recommend reserving a table before hand as it gets quite busy. Can't wait to go back!”
“Delicious flavor combinations and super fresh, just fabulous for this vegan!”
“Ken's was superb. I went at 5pm on a Thursday. There was a bit of a line at first opening but there was no line or wait after all the tables were filled. The staff is incredibly friendly! We got the asparagus and bacon pizza and the calamari. The calamari was so good. I would not skip it! The tomato and bread adds so much flavor and the Calamari paired perfectly. The pizza took a little while to come but it was worth waiting a little bit. The asparagus is the perfect flavor and texture and the bacon is not crispy. I'm not a huge vinegar fan but the garlic vinaigrette on the pizza wasn't anything I couldn't handle. The crust was good. Be sure to check your face and teeth for burnt specks before you leave. There is plenty of seating and it was not too loud. It was beautiful inside. I see why this spot is such a big hit.”
“Found this place to take my parents after the airport. Adorable vibes, portions were good, menu was fun and seasonal. Loved the service. The music inside was very very loud tho.”
“We have been dining at Gilda’s for 6 months. Thank you to our friends Linda and Paul for introducing us to this wonderful restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious. It is a family owned restaurant and the pride of the naturally sourced ingredients is very evident. Everything is made in house. The service is exemplary! Go, you won’t be sorry!”
“I make it a point to visit Canard Burnside on all of my trips to Portland! The unique flavors and presentations on their menu keep me coming back for more. Had the roasted beets last night for the first time and the flavor was out of this world.”
“First time eating Ethiopian food, trusted the waiter to choose our food and wine pairing and he hit it spot on! Everything was absolutely delicious. So fresh and spicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back often!”
“The service was great and the food was delicious. There were four of us and we all enjoyed the quiet ambiance. This is one of our favorite Portland restaurants and we are always happy with the experience.”
“A fun time with a really friendly and knowledgeable owner! Pro: -If you have your heart set on the nook or any other seat, you can make a reservation in advance online. -We enjoyed their wines and found a big variation in each pour, so there should be at least one pour that will suit your group's tastes! -The owner is a delight & the cave like interior makes the experience more intimate and cozy -Get the original grilled cheese. The bread and cheese are all good quality! Con: -Reservations cost $10 per person, and that is not refunded or deducted from your balance Get there earlier in the night to ensure a seat!”
“I visited this place 4 months ago, in January on a trip from Seattle to Portland. Needless to say it left a profound impact as I am coming back months later to leave a review after recommending it to countless friends. Being able to eat such a high quality meal, in a low-lit yet dazzling ambiance, is truly what makes life worth living. Go for dinner, enjoy spectacular cocktails, & DO NOT miss the chinese sashimi or the black pepper beef. Cannot wait to return. 10/10 truly a memorable meal.”
“Great food! Great service!”
“Came here about 2 weeks ago to celebrate my birthday with friends. There were 4 of us and we decided to sit outside. Some of the tables have heaters next to them but a few don't. Most people were offering to scoot over on their own tables for us to sit, which was such a nice gesture. We arrived at 6:30 (1.5 hours after they opened) and while we waited for our food they got to post their sold out sign! We were so lucky with our timing. Our table ordered 1 of each dish they had (with the exception of a meat appetizer and a cookie dessert) The food was unlike anything any of us had tasted before. We all agreed we that it was so much more than just a meal and it was an entire experience. The salad was to die for and the pork ragú is something I still dream of The staff were some of the kindest folks we have met & I hope that they have much more continued success. You will NOT regret going here at all. Side note- Fiancé and friends got drinks from The Garrison bar next door. Talk about a great atmosphere and again, even better staff! They all said their drinks were A+.”
“We drove over super last minute, got seated right away, even though the restaurant was extremely full, such a delicious meal, and our waitress was amazing”
“I mean wow, so good. So incredibly good! I didn't realize that Plumb is the kitchen located inside of the bar (Deadshot). It was my first time experiencing something like this (maybe I need to get out more) and it was incredible. The food is made to order so patience is key but luckily theres an amazing bar with handcrafted cocktails to enjoy while you wait. We arrived right at 4pm on Saturday evening and were promptly greeted and seated. We opted for a seat right at the bar. I ordered a red wine and my husband ordered a Deadshot. Then we placed our food order. We ordered the cesar salad, grilled cabbage, burger and steak frites and everything was so incredibly good. Fresh, decadent, perfectly cooked and ever so tasty. Of the items we tried, the cabbage dish was our favorite. I've never had cabbage with bechamel, apples and hazelnuts. It was simply divine! Highly recommend checking this place out!”
“Always a wonderful experience. Top notch plant based cuisine with a wonderful twist of flavor combinations.True care and time goes into their menu, tonight we enjoyed house made tempe, sauces, vinegars, and fermented beverages that have been crafting for months.Far more than just a meal Astera delivers a dining experience worth the price of admission.Highly recommend!”
“First I want to say that the Alfredo pizza was the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had. The food here is 10/10 with some of the best vegan food in all of Portland. However, the service was horrible, we had to work to get our waiters attention to get more water and asked for our bill twice before receiving it. With a no tipping policy in place I feel there was no incentive to provide good service.”
“Food was amazing, the servers on the restaurant side were very nice and super attentive. I passed by this restaurant many times and my sister suggested we have breakfast here. The restaurant was buzzing and the ambiance and artwork were great. I will definitely go back!”
“Truly we LOVED this restaurant! It’s one of our new favorites. The place was packed on a Friday night of course but we walked in without a reservation and they were able to fit us in about 20-30 minutes. We had a cocktail while we waited. The service was amazing, everyone was super friendly and inviting, food was amazing! I had an amazing spring vegetable pasta and the crunch of the peas in it was soooo good! We will definitely be back!”
“Awesome place to visit. The craft cocktails are so good and the food is delicious. They were able to accommodate a vegetarian option. The staff were attentive and friendly. We really enjoyed the experience.”
“The food is top quality, it takes a little to be done, but it's worth every minute, just arrive planning to wait a little bit.Everything is very tasty, from the meat to the vegetables, it's all full of flavor. There's also some desserts that are amazing to take home after you're done.Parking: There's very little parking close by, there's only a tiny place for about 4 cars, but there's street parking available.”
“satisfying homecooked-quality deliciousness, great value for the price, we all have our favorites but yet to be disappointed by any selection”
“Comfort food at its finest. Guys working there are super chill and set us up with all their sauces. We took some time deciding what we wanted because all of it sounded so good. My brother got the trifecta combo and my husband and I each got the chicken sandwich. My only complaint is that the sandwiches were a little hard to pick up and eat just because they were so loaded. Don't let the website pictures fool you - these portions are huge (and the prices very affordable). My husband and I could have easily split one sandwich but instead have leftovers for tomorrow. :) everything just pairs well together. The menu has been well thought-out and I think we need to come back to try more!”
“The Mediterranean pizza was delish. It just happened to hit the spot for me. I will definitely go there again and highly recommend it.”
“This place is in an alley off the most choice stretch of Division... It's got a pleasant cave-like ambiance with a hipster chandelier of feathers... the crowd was fun & diverse... the staff were kind... the best part, though, was the super creative wine list - that also offered some affordable options too! Didn't get to taste the food :/”
“We recently came to Portland for my sister's bachelorette. She loves steakhouses and so when I found out that RingSide Steakhouse is the oldest steakhouse in Portland, I knew we had to come here. Online the reservations portal only allows for reservations for party of seven or less. Eight or more, you have to email them. So I did and got my options. When I let them know that I was just interested in dining in the main area they did that for me. They called me the day before our reservation to confirm. When we arrived we were greeted immediately. When we sat down our server was great. He explained the menu and answered all our questions. The majority of our group got the ribeye for two and split them. And the nice part is the restaurant splits and serves it on separate plates. We also ordered a large order of onion rings for the table. We also ordered several sides to share amongst the table. We ordered the cabbage, pole beans, lobster mashed potatoes, and Korean spiced heirloom carrots. I got the crab cakes as my meal. All the food was good. The ribeye comes with one choice of a side. The ribeye was tender and everyone's was cooked just the way they asked. The dessert was delicious. They also sent the crème brûlée free of charge since we were celebrating. The chocolate mousse was so good. The banana ice cream was so good and it worked with the whole dessert. The cheesecake was good too.”
“We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and what a treat! Our server was phenomenal and helped us make great choices for amazing food + wine pairings. The chef also accommodated my food allergies with ease. Highly recommend! We plan to return very soon.”
“This is one of the most delicious places I’ve ever been to!!”
“Just an absolutely wonderful time! It has something for everyone. Their workshop offerings are also awesome.”
“I enjoyed the grilled vegetable platter. Also, the in-house baked, fresh piping hot out the oven pita bread was amazing with the hummus. Save room for dessert because tue baklava is amazing! Everything was so fresh! I can’t forget about the staff. He was attentive and pleasant. I look forward to visiting again soon.”
“Warm cozy atmosphere, friendly service, fine cocktails.”
“Great vibe and staff. Way to support women in sports!!!”
“We had a fantastic brunch at this adorable restaurant. They offer delicious gluten-free versions of favorites such as Eggs Benedict and Austrian pancakes. I also recommend the rose hip lemonade and can't wait to try their ginger beer. We sampled the gluten free onion rings, and we'll definitely return on future trips to Portland to sample more of their offerings.”
“The jojos I've been dreaming of! The fried chicken sandwich was also amazing, though i might do it without the slaw next time, just a personal thing. I'll be back! The fried chicken dinner sounded good and the desserts looked great!”
“Wonderful carefully curated food. Informed and interested servers. Lovely ambiance. Fresh and inventive menu. Had a special twist on a Boulevardier cocktail. I loved it.”
“Staying at the Hyatt a block away, I wanted a good pizza for dinner. Found Mucca on Google w/a 5 Star rating, which is rare. I was pleasantly surprised, the pizza was amazing, traditional & the crust delicious! Do yourself a favor & checkout Mucca Pizzeria!!”
“The food was absolutely phenomenal that I couldn’t dare pick a favorite. Staff were so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and offered great suggestions. I recommend making a reservation for groups over 2 and sharing plates if your friends like family style type meals. We will be going back to try the rest of the menu. Definitely a spot to go to if you are visiting Portland!”
“Friendly staff, delicious pub food with an interesting twist, a good beer selection, and great cocktails!”
“Excellent food, comfortable atmosphere. We really enjoyed our dinner and the flavors were marvelous!”
“Incredible culinary experience! Each dish is delicious and you will also have a wonderful explanation of the ingredients.”
“Stopped in yesterday for some fries and a cocktail. Cocktail was amazing. After 35 minutes I noticed I still didn’t have the fries so I went inside to inquire. I was told my ticket was 5 tickets back leaving me to assume I would not have my fries for at least another 15-25 minutes. I didn’t have an hour to spend for fries, had I ordered an entree I wouldn’t be writing this review. They offered me a gift card or that they’ll buy me fry’s when I come back next but it’s like come on guys a gift card for frys… I’m good. Also $8 for fries is laughable to say the least. Two final pieces to finish on 1: don’t let someone order frys or any appetizers without letting them know it will be an hour. 2: the kitchen has gotta prioritize easy quick fire tickets, I’ve worked in kitchens for a long time and trust me if I’m on hour ticket times and I get a solo out fries, salad, etc. it will not be one of the hour tickets. Seriously shameful experience because dam that drink was good.”
“Great food in a nice atmosphere.”
“Gem of a place in Waterfront Pearl. Meal options are all great, friendly service with full bar. What more can you ask? With its fully brick and wood interior, “Northwest coziness” best describes Emerald Line. Not to be missed in the Pearl!”

“The food is amazing, the prices are great and speed is fast! The atmosphere isn't the best but the food makes up for it!”
“We ordered thru UberEats. While UberEats won’t rectify any issues you might have, I called the restaurant, and they explained how they were able to accommodate an allergy. The food was delicious! We will be back. My kids loved the seared salmon donut., and the banana B-ritto. I had the treasure roll and a bowl with mixed fish. We got wasabi mayo sauce, chili sauce and another orange mayo- delicious. We kinda stuffed ourselves, to be honest. (And they use paper goods to wrap their food instead of plastic.) thank you!”
“I usually get very good food here. But just ordered a coney long dog and went right home around the corner. The weiner wasn't even luke warm. Only thing that was somewhat a little over warm was the coney sauce. I guess I will have to try out at the McGloughlin Roakes. This was very depressing and disappointing.”
“I can't remember when I bought my first printer from Portland Printer Place, but Chris has always been top notch.”
“Dinner with a couple of friends and we decided to try out the menu. Started with Aracini and the MB Salad. Delicious! On to the main dishes of Foie & Chicken Mousse, Grilled Prawns and King Salmon with Grilled Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts. Finished with the Gilled Bananas Foster. All the dishes were excellent. The staff couldn't have been more friendly or efficient.”
“If the menu shows the prices the cost for the 8oz 12oz and 16oz then people will know how much they'll need before ordering, to make sure they got enough money”
“I found a Q place. I will never pull out a Grill again. This is the place. Meat tender. Flavor may your Palte smile. People friendly. Yams, taste like Louisiana cooking. Mac & cheese make you want to hollow for more. Love everything, I bought. Thanks, you for your service.”
“I am by no means a Vegan. In fact if there is an afterlife I am sure I will have many many furry faces waiting for me for my crimes of rampant meat consumption. So setting that as the starting off point I eat the vegan bowl here like two or three times a week. This girl is an absolute wok goddess. I have no idea how she manages to cook every single piece of vegetables in her stir frys without ever making a single piece go limp. I have a deep and abiding childhood hatred of cauliflower. It is marrow deep to the point of irrational dislike on my end. Yet when that vile weed appears at random in her stir fry I am not only okay with it, but thoroughly enjoy the dish. Even her rice is several steps ahead of the competition. The curried Garbonzo beans are simply perfect. The fresh diced cucumber and carrot makes the perfect crunchy contrast with the amazing rice and curried legumes. The fresh lime juice makes her dishes flirt with sweetness while still being savory. If your tired of the same old boring grease soaked fries and cheese slathered mediocre slabs of low grade meat check out this cart. The flavors are both well seasoned yet not over powering. She has a chefs touch to be sure. Plus my heart I am sure prefers the fare far more than another artery clogging mass of American failure cuisine.”
“Dear Restaurant Owners, pls return our overhead tasteful Mexican dining music whereby the volume was just right, not once too loud! Our dining atmosphere is still & unappealing because No music is No good.”
“Lalibela server the best Ethiopian Cuisine with excellent service.”

“This restaurant is EXCELENT The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff is top notch and the food is the best. We will definitely visit again when we go back to Portland.”
“Wonderful, varied and creative menu, somewhat expensive but worth the price especially for special occasions. Also appreciate that Janken is making it clear on their bill that 20% gratuity is added and not putting any extra stress or pressure on the patron to consider additional gratuity (looking at you Nostrana). Well done.”
“Beautiful views at different angles and very good. Service.”
“We had dinner here on a Monday evening and it was absolutely everything we hoped it would be and more. Don’t be offended by the 22% service charge - the wait staff was exceptional in every way! Erica H was our server and she gave fantastic recommendations, wonderful conversation, and even surprised us with the rooster candle as we were in town on a trip which was my son’s Christmas gift. The food was spectacular in every way. If and when we make it back to Portland, we will absolutely eat here again!”
“Had a great d be inner. Wonderful tasting food and great views.”
“Urban Farmer is the place to do for a perfect evening. My fiancé and I had a dinner date here as we are visiting family. Can we say the perfect date night, as we had the perfect level of service! The location was perfect, and the parking was very accessible. The food was incredible, as we enjoyed the Wagyu New York Steak, the Seared Scallops, and the Urban Mac & Cheese. For dessert, we devoured the honey lavender brûlée. Thank you Urban Farmer for attending and catering to us as you did! -Suzy”
“Used to eat at dragon fountain in Hillsborough love the food then move to Beaverton dragon fountain closed and this restaurant Chiam oh my God best food ever”
“Excellent experience great food, Papaya Salad a must to try”
“The strak was tender and succulent. I had it medium rare. The wait staff was less than stellar and we waited for at least 30 minutes for a waiter after being seated. Not a good look. There may have been a mistake or a table assignment error. Once the waitress came she was great. The food was excellent as usual.”
“Date night? Nice dinner? Unique dining? This is the place. Attended dinner here as a date night with my wife. We were very impressed with the unique dining and food! Ambiance- Departures gives a futuristic feeling of almost being in a spaceship. Very well laid out and unique! Food- the food was great. We had the steak and tuna entrées. Both were very well cooked and had wonderful flavor. Would recommend. The drinks were great as well! I ended up with their style of an old fashion and would get it again! Service- Service was what you would expect from a higher end restaurant. Server had great suggestions and was very attentive. Price- it's what you would expect from a restaurant from this caliber. Bottom line? Date night or special occasion? Just a nice dinner? Would recommend.”
“Great dining spaces, comfortable chairs, great menu, fun drinks of all kinds. My Impossible patty was charred, but was still good so I didn't send it back, just thought it could have been watched better. After food was delivered, server did not check on us to see if everything was okay, so hot things got cold while we waited to get her attention and get condiments. No big deal, just a couple of ways to improve. Will go back because I always appreciate veggie options - thank you!!!”

“We got two basic rolls and two of the specialty rolls. The basic rolls were really good. The specialty rolls seemed a bit high priced for how basic they tasted. The service was nice but pretty slow. The presentation was beautiful, and the table components were adorable!”
“IT WAS SO GOOD! Much better than Din Tai Fung and Dough Zone. For some reason, none of us in our party expected it, but it was the best pleasant surprise The salt and pepper tofu is what I have been looking for every time I have ordered it in the past elsewhere. Best I have ever had and we all loved it so much. We took the leftovers home and while it was still good after the air fryer, we felt it was better fresh, but that doesn't change how much we loved it at all That scallion pancake had a super freaking thick crispy layer and a super thin chewy layer in the middle, it was perfect The broccoli was literally bursting with garlic flavor The beef stew was so savory and perfect with the rice After we realized that everything was so good, I asked the waitress what her fave dishes are on the menu and she went straight for the beef stew with rice. She also said she loves spicy foods and loves their spicy chicken wings Whoever you are reading this, you will love it here. No doubt about it”
“Unique spot with good food although maybe a bit too expensive for what you get.Entrees ranked:1. Shrimp (I would come back just for the shrimp, it was amazing(2.ribeye3.tofu(didn’t expect to like this one as much as I did)4. Chicken(would never order this again, it was flavorless and the drown it in a sauce that has the consistency of mucus.”
“From the moment I stepped up to the food cart, I was greeted with the kind of warm hospitality that you’d expect from a brick and mortar establishment. The team running the place was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their craft.The star of the show was undoubtedly the lamb. It was prepared to perfection, succulent and rich in flavor, leaving an impression that lingered long after the meal was over. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s some of the best lamb I’ve ever had—the kind you’d ‘die for’.But the excellence didn’t stop at the food. The service was top-tier; prompt, efficient, and always with a smile. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority here.The ambiance of the cart added to the overall experience. It was inviting and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely lunch.In summary, this food cart is a gem that offers an excellent experience. With great food, superb service, and a nice ambiance, there’s really nothing more one could ask for.”
“Consistently very good. Crunchy on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside. Atmosphere not as warm as the Beaverton Town Center location, But I'm really looking forward to their outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. Extra hot can run very hot, perfect for me. Not hot enough? Request additional sauce. Too hot? Order a soy garlic wing and rub them together. :) Or, cool them down with some of the wasabi mayo. Prices for the boneless are much better than some other places. And, the boneless wings reheat very well in the microwave.”
“Probably the best brisket I've had since being in Portland. My partner got the Catfish which was also amazing! The owner is really cool, super knowledgeable and helpful. We will definitely be back!”
“Crews are very kind and caring for customers. Owner lady is a very helpful and generous. Foods are good. We love sushi dishes. Dragon roll is a little bit spicy but so delicious and tasty. My kids love to eat ramen noodles, I ordered a General Tao Chicken and Lo mein noodles those were great and so yummy.!”
“The best!! You won’t be disappointed. Staff are clearly experts and enjoy being there. So much fun energy too! Mind. Blown.”
