“Had an evening food tasting here - there were several courses of delicious food provided with the experience. We added on the apple cider vinegar drink, which was the right choice to warm us up for the winter food tasting.Although I had noted with my booking that I'm gluten-free, they brought me a few courses with gluten. I had to keep checking and waiting for a revised course to be provided when the mistake was made. If you have a food sensitivity/allergy, keep this in mind and make sure you check with each serving/meal.If you do a group booking, make sure to let them know you want separate servings as they were bringing us one plate for each course for our group, until we asked them to bring us separate ones. Considering the food tasting is an expensive experience and they charge per person, this was the first time I was brought a single plate/serving for a group booking.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience doing the Gimbap party. Tasty first course - corned beef with charred cabbage was exquisite. Main course - I could go on and on.Nothing wrong with any of it & free refills, cmon! Dessert was nice and refreshing. Exceptional service.”
“My husband and I visited this past weekend and everything was amazing. The food was great, the bartender Jesse (hope I spelled that correctly lol) was BEYOND great, and the atmosphere was very calming and inviting. I can’t wait to visit again.”
“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!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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.”
“yummy! our menu had a lot of mushy textures in the dish components, which is something to call out if it's not your thing. that said, the menu changes. delightful meal. will recommend.”
“Perfect date night with amazingly well prepared food. Appreciated that we didn’t feel rushed by the waiter or that the restaurant was trying to keep the guests revolving through as fast as they could. Was not expecting a few menu items with Asian flair, highly recommend pairing the chilled tom kha mussels and shrimp udon. Husband said oysters were the best he’s had. Really enjoyed having some different drinks to try, like skin contact wine and Amari. Will definitely be back!”

“Fun bar with great food and staff. Breakfast (and FULL menu) served all day! Drink and food specials, great Happy Hour('s), multiple TV'S, pool table, pinball, lottery. Has its own parking lot, but fills up fast during peak hours. Plenty of neighborhood parking, tho. Hidden gem, worth the trip.”
“We ate there Saturday night. I'll start by saying that there were some minor issues with food coming out of the kitchen in a timely manner. Without asking the manager comped us half our bill. He was very professional about it stating that the service was not up to his standards.Beyond the timing issues, the staff was prompt and professional. The drinks were outstanding and the food was very good. We also liked the space. It is intimate with lots of windows. We expect going back soon.”
“Honestly as good as you are going to get. Everything is wonderful, baba ganoush best I've had in ages. Only criticism was the "filet" was a very chewy, but all other meats great.”
“I absolutely loved their tlayuda! From the cocktails to the mole, everything had rich flavor. I can't wait to come back and see what they do for their summer menu!”
“It was busy and the wait was long, but that’s understandable given how good it was, and its popularity. The food was great, so it was worth the wait!Vegetarian options: There are a few delicious vegetarian options here! I believe they also will sub vegan meats.”

“It was truly an amazing experience. Everything was delicious. The staff was awesome. Everyone was friendly. Every dish was better than the last. The twice cooked pork, amazing. The PLAINTAIN BRIOCHE BUNS, delicious and full of flavor. Wish we'd had two servings. The peanut, creamed greens are full of subtle flavor that builds and builds. The smoked ribs ranked among the best grilled beef I've ever had. The BLANCMANGE, with coconut custard, might be the best thing we had. It's a rare experience where we talked about what we want to try next time as we were driving home. Both of us are looking forward to going back again! Oh, and their drinks are amazing as well. Their Hearthfire was filled with flavor and heat! Delicious!”

“Delicious food every time we dine in, and fresh margaritas too. Supporting a queer-owned vegan business makes every bite and sip that much better. I would highly recommend their torta with any of their "meat". Music is a little loud, and it's a small environment. Besides that, the vibes are impeccable. We try to make it in every weekend.”
“One of favorite breweries. A hidden jewel of the Portland beer scene. High quality beer in a wide variety of traditional styles and some innovations. Chill and friendly vibe. Dog friendly. Worth going off the beaten path to have a pint or two.”

“I've heard so much about this ice cream, so I'm glad I finally got to try it.I really appreciate that they let you do half scoops so I could try more flavors. My husband and I split a double scoop waffle cone with:- Passionfruit Yuzu Mochi Donuts & Whey Curd- Pear & Blue Cheese- Arbequina Olive Oil- Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black PepperFirst off, this is the only place I have been with waffle cones as good as Jeni's, which was a pleasant surprise.Weird flavors are right up my alley, so I was in heaven. The strawberry balsamic was hands down my favorite because the flavor was so intense. The passion fruit one would be my second choice.I would happily come back, but there are many other places I want to try while we're in Portland too. Too much ice cream to try is quite the problem to have.”

“The best pizza I’ve had, and I eat pizza a lot. We had the pepperoni and the garlic arugula pizza and my friend and I kept just saying how good it was. It’s the kind of pizza you feel like you should keep talking about but you come up short everytime you try.”
“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!”
“My husband and I visited this past weekend and everything was amazing. The food was great, the bartender Jesse (hope I spelled that correctly lol) was BEYOND great, and the atmosphere was very calming and inviting. I can’t wait to visit again.”
“My son and daughter in law chose this venue for the reception following their wedding. We had a group of less than 20 people in the private dining room. Fantastic experience. Everyone at the restaurant was helpful on coordinating setup prior to the event. The appetizers, cocktails, entrees and desserts all received rave reviews from the wedding guests. Service was on point and we were extremely pleased with everything. Highly recommended for a small group gathering space (the private room is the perfect size for a group of 20). We will dine here again during our next trip to Portland.”
“I have lived in Morocco and been traveling there since the 1970s. my lunch yesterday at Kasbah Moroccan Cafe was undoubtedly the best Moroccan food I have eaten in the US. The food was delicious and authentic. Portions were generous. While we had to eat outside due to Covid, we could see that the inside of the cafe was attractively done in Moroccan style. The owner was very friendly. My son-in-law is Moroccan and he loved the food as well. I unreservedly recommend this place and will make a point of eating there next time I visit Portland.”
“Delicious plant-based ice cream. Some flavors taste more like traditional ice cream than others, but im not vegan and it's still good!Dietary restrictions: Great for vegan diet and lactose intolerance.”
“Found this spot via Instagram and it lives up to the hype. Tons of unique rolls to choose from as well as plenty of non-sushi appetizers and entreés like Udon. The sashimi and tamari (nigiri) was very fresh and delicious. We will definitely come back to try the set courses. Sake list is small but there are options for everyone, ranging from dry to sweet, and they have a good selection of Japanese wiskeys. Our server, Becca, was kind and very helpful for our first time experience. (pictured) bluefin akami, bluefin otoro, and hamachi tamari, Blazer and Salmon Twist rolls.”
“Service is always quick and kind. The food is excellent, fresh, unique, and caters to several different dietary restrictions. The location is convenient for workers at or near Montgomery Park, and the music is calming and chill. What an awesome 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!”
“Highly recommended by locals and it didn’t disappoint. I enjoy sours and that’s what brought me here. The large selection of beers is fantastic! I enjoyed a flight of 5 different beers and the bartender gave me a taste of a seasonal one to boot. I was visiting from Alabama for the weekend and I am so glad I was directed to this brewery! The area had great shopping too. Cool local stores nearby.”
“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.”
“I wanted to try a new place for date night and picked a good one. The food was excellent, the service was warm. I made a reservation for the purple room which has about 4 small tables. There is another room that has more tables and a bar. The restaurant is on the second floor of a converted house. I don't think they have an elevator, so you're aware. We got mostly what the waiter recommended. The chicken liver mousse tart was savory and delicate, crust being flaky and good contrast to the vinaigretted frissee. The grilled cauliflower still had crunch and umami. I picked the duck confit which had delicious crispy crust and a slight sweet, salty sauce. My husband had the pork coppa which is a braised pork shoulder over a sauce with delicious huge beans. I thought all the food was outstanding, the presentation was great and flavors well balanced. Ended the night with an almond flour orange cake, not too sweet. I might have skipped that one because the gelee was a little tart and cake a denser than expected. The waiter was great at helping us navigate the menu. I liked all the choices available and can't wait to try more of them. I don't think there is a wrong choice here. Their menu options rotate.”

“G-Love was wonderful. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Everything we ordered off the menu exceeded expectations, our party of five left feeling full and happy. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“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!”
“I keep coming back for the pork belly fried rice and the massaman curry. Really delicious food, great outdoor seating, and they changed their dessert options recently as well. The banana cake was great with the coconut ice cream. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.”
“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”

“Just fantastic! For one reason or another we couldn't go there last time we were in Portland. But we made it happen this time and it was delicious, delightful and just all around great. I enjoy meals made up of many small plates for sharing and that's what we did. We threw some nice vodkas in the mix and were very happy with our experience. The service was very nice as well.”

“The company I work for has a corporate account and we order sack lunches through Bunk Catering often. We've never had an issue. Always arrives on time and exactly what we ordered. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. I would and do recommend using them for your office lunches. :)”
“Vegetarian options: If they can't find what they like on the menu, it is a full service bar with video lottery, so there is that.Personally, I eat meat, but that's just me .Parking: I didn't count the parking spots, but they were more than enough. Just pull in, find an empty spot, pull in, and go inside for a drink. If you have too many, let someone else drive you home .”
“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”
“Cheapest tripas, buche, and Lengua in Portland! It’s very delicious and I love their jalapeños! It can be pretty greasy though but still perfect for late night food.”
“My favorite snack from here are the "muffin tops", They have lemon or cranberry orange, which are both equally good. I usually get an Americano, which I pour into my coffee from home to warm it up. I've never been inside, only drive through.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Clean restrooms, easy parking and great service. Jay gives fantastic customer care! There was a tired and stressed TRIMET bus driver, who Jay made smile and turned around her day through a promotion he told her about, which was new to the driver. Most fast food is heartless, but Jay makes food feel like home for those of us always on the road for work.”
“Thank you Tiara!! (update i messed up accidently put a monkey along with these nice pictures of african americans)update 2 (wow i dont even know what to say i really dropped the ball here these are all monkeys oops)”
“I was pleasantly surprised when we got there. It had been a while since I had eaten at Denny's, and I had a preconceived notion of what I would experience since this was the same restaurant. I had a semi-bad idea of what I would see, Boy, was I surprised. It was a little bit of a wait when we walked in the door. 3 or 4 small groups ahead of us. But we were seated in under 5 minutes with menus and coffee. The waitress was friendly and VERY upbeat. Food arrived in just the right amount of time, and it was hot!I have to say, I really enjoyed my entire time spent there, AND our dogs got to enjoy a little bit of it also when we got home.Parking: It is a pretty large lot quth lots of parking, a few handicapped spots to choose from, also.”
“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.”
“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.”
“The cuisine was succulent and fresh. The executive chef personally prepared my entree and his presentation was a masterful work of art. He had obviously trained at the finest culinary institutions in Europe. What caught me by surprise was the more than affordable price at this exquisite 5 michelin star establishment.”
“My husband and I went to Grana for an impromptu date night and overall had a good experience. We started with the chicory Caesar and the dressing was extremely tasty and very light (in a good way) compared to most Caesars. The pizza was delicious, we got the blanco and the margherita. We both liked the blanco best but agreed the margherita was necessary too to add a fresh balance. The crust was absolutely delicious and the ingredients were very high quality and fresh. We also loved cutting the pizza with the shears, so fun! I'd recommend they look at expanding their wines by the glass menu a little bit, given the prices and high quality of the other food it would have been nice to have an option other than "house red" or "house white." My only real bit of constructive criticism is about the service. There were two servers, the guy was super nice but the girl wasn't overly friendly and hovered at our table after we got a box, waiting for us to leave so she could bus it. We were also seated at table 12 which is literally behind the host stand, I would highly recommend not seating people at that table unless you have a packed house because not only was it cramped, it was really awkward having to be eye level with the host's butt during the meal. There were a ton of empty tables throughout the restaurant so I regret not asking to be seated elsewhere, but I didn't want to seem high maintenance.”
“Wonderful service. Staff is amazing. Owner Jeff Saulsbury went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. Excellentfood service and staff. Thank you...we will be back!”
“Best sushi in Portland hands down. Fish quality and selection is always 10/10. Chefs are the real deal and are so fun to watch (highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar).Dietary restrictions: They always ask you as soon as you walk in whether you have any restrictions.”

“I saw the raving reviews so wanted to check this place out. The bahn mi is good bulgogi has good flavor. The meat is pretty chewy though, and I would say the combo definitely is not worth the extra 5 bucks. I'd stick to the sandwich. The service was pretty quick and the lady was very nice. It's a small hole in the wall location. I would however avoid this area after about 5/6pm. This area is home to many people whom reside outside lol. As someone who has been to almost every bahn mi place in Portland I will say comparing to best baguette, bahn mi fresh, and a few other bahn mi places i think killer bahn mi is the best! But it is quite spendy for a bahn mi. You pay for it in the amount of meat they give you but still. If you like this kind of bahn mi I'd recommend also checking out an xuyen bakery. It's this little bakery on like 51st and foster but they have some of the biggest bahn mis I've ever had for 1/2 the price.”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“Delicious pizza with a wide selection of toppings. I'm a big guy and the pizza was almost two meals for me; definitely a great sharing size if you go with others.”
“The cutest subway station turned into a coffee spot! My friends and I ordered chai tea, spanish and tiramisu latte.The service took 30 minutes and the line wasn’t that long, but the lattes were absolutely worth it. Chai had the perfect amount of spice.”
“Definitely a must try at least once! The ice cream flavors change often, but there are always the consistent flavors that are there every time. It's worth going in and asking for a sample of as many kinds as you want to try until you find your favorite (they use actual silverware for the samples).”
“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!”
“This is our first time there. Super cute building -very cozy. Everyone that worked there was super kind. The food was delicious. We got the goat cheese and calamari- they were great starters. Then we got scallops and seafood fra diavolo. Absolutely delicious. Lastly, we got the kettle chip dulce de leche ice cream for dessert and that was really good too. If you like fresh brewed iced tea, their iced tea is really good too. We are definitely coming back. This is a great spot for a date night!”
“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.”
“Incredible!!! I got the birria tacos and they were just fantastic. Piping hot, great mix of textures and flavors, and a great portion size. Thank you! Can't wait to eat here again!Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian options and many of them are vegan, or can be made vegan!”
“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”
“We chose Guero to meet friends for my birthday dinner. We wanted easy, not overpriced and excellent food. They were very accommodating as our party number grew while we waited for a table as more people showed we weren’t expecting. Staff offered to put our cake in the refrigerator for after dinner — so kind, and even sang to me and lit a candle when they brought the cake out. I may have turned bright red ?The food and drink were delicious and the service superb. Thank you for helping end my birthday Sunday with a lovely time at your fine establishment.”
“Highly recommend this place! Burger was AMAZING & I try MANY different PDX burgers! Curly fries were spot on! And then topped off with malted shakes... yum! We will def be back... often! Oh, the people we really friendly and helpful too, but food was so good I'd go back even if there were jerks... haha”
“Came on a Saturday to have brunch with a couple friends. They weren't busy when we arrived (11a.m.), but packed by the time we were leaving.I had the Eggs Benedict. It was delicious, but the braised pork was over seasoned to me, still edible and tasty if you add a bite to the delicious little roasted potatoes.We all shared a side of Yuca fries, and pecan crusted/candied bacon. Both delicious, and the sauce provided for the fries was amazing.The service was also fantastic! Our server was very friendly and attentive.I would reccomend checking this place out. I will be back.”
“G-Love was wonderful. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Everything we ordered off the menu exceeded expectations, our party of five left feeling full and happy. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“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!”
“I traveled to Portland for the first time and this is my best dining experience in Portland (besides Salt & Straw ice cream)! We arrived 10 minutes before our initial reservation and had to wait 11 minutes for our table (which was fine). We asked for the menu twice but it took them ages to give us one so we just asked Google. Their menu on the website is not updated and some photos in Google Business are more accurate. The heated 'patio' was nice and warm (it is actually built indoors/in a closed environment). The set up is bright and it was bustling with people. Service was slow and it took the staff a while to take our order. We ordered the Causa de Camarones (shrimp and potato) for the starter and the Ceviche de Pescado and Seco de Cordero (lamb) for entrees. I loved everything we ate (even though the lamb was a bit heavy with beans and rice - double carbs). The waitress was friendly. To elevate the service, I suggest that the restaurant train their staff on menu pairing suggestions and dish recommendations. For example, the waitress informed us that the lamb dish would taste pretty cilantro-y (it wasn't so). She could have given a 'disclaimer' or personal thoughts on how heavy our meal could be and suggested a lighter pairing (room for desserts!). A small note: When we left, everyone said thank you (except the waitress who took our order). Overall, it was a good experience and I definitely recommend this place / want to come back when I am back in Portland again!”

“An absolute delight for brunch! I was in Portland for only a day and 2 people highly recommended this spot and it did not disappoint.They usually have a great list of specials. I had the pancakes with strawberry and whipped cream, the salmon hash, French press coffee and cinnamon pecan roll.Everything was delicious and felt like it was homemade from fresh ingredients. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, gave us lots of suggestions on what and how to order.The cafe has an overall fancy french bistro vibe”
“I got the Quesabirria tacos and consommé, it was amazing!! So much flavor loaded into each taco, perfectly cooked. Highly highly recommend if you’re looking for birria!!”
“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!!!!”
“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!”
“I tried the taco plate and got half chicken half steak. They were good but I wasn't impressed with them especially from what the reviews raved about. However I did find the steak to be more flavorful than the chicken. The pineapple and hibiscus drinks were good. Service was pick-up and clean-up for yourself.... had I known that I would not have given a tip.”
“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.”
“Finally stopped in here and I was not disappointed! They have a plant based protein shake that they added peanut butter and banana to and it was so good ? really friendly barista too. I’m glad they open so early in the morning because I have a feeling this will be my new coffee stop on my way to work!”
“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!!”
“Everyone was talking about Franks-A-Lot and I was skeptical because I’m not a big hotdog person but after trying one I’m hooked it was the absolute best I’ve ever had and a super friendly person took my order I would definitely recommend them for a great experience!!!!!”
“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!”
“Best lamb shank ever. Fun neighborhood place. Its gotten more upscale in recent years but now they take credit cards. lovely neighborhood in southeast Portland which is fun to visit too.”
“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”

The staff is very friendly and accommodating, gave us lots of suggestions on what and how to order.The cafe has an overall fancy french bistro vibe”
“This place has been legendary since it opened and has maintained quality over time. Definitely one of the jewels of Portland and perfect for a business dinner or happy hour. + their selections of Bourbon is amongst the best in town.”
“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!”
Fine Dining
“Lovely venue, amazing food. Every single bite was unique. I typically approach food as fuel, but the same ingredients prepared by masterful hands and palates on a warm Portland evening are downright ethereal. Unparalleled. Go for the fixed course meal and wine pairings, and let them make the decisions. Dealbreaker: The focaccia and butter plate is like none I’ve experienced before. Best plate ever. Seriously. If you haven’t had butter or cheese with honey and fennel, it’s a must.”
“This place was so good I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before. Tartar and panna cotta were standout. Had a gluten free marked menu for us.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free friendly”
“Hands down the best dinner experience I had on my trip to Portland - and I went to Han Oak be Laangbaan so really the bar was high! Intimate but approachable setting, great service, and quality fish. Our chef was thoughtful and informative without being too overbearing, and we were able to have a nice family meal while learning about the ingredients and engaging with the experience. Would recommend and will be back! Not cheap but worth the price point.”
“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!”
“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.”
“This is one of those Hollywood steak houses. It's been around forever they get all the big names to sign something for their wall. They have the service and quality food to back it up. Best lobster I've ever had and fantastic service.If you've been to a place like this before you know what you're getting into. If it is your first time, enjoy it. You are paying not just for the meal but an experience. Take your time, speak up if anything is not to your liking, and budget the time and money to relax and enjoy.”
“There’s something really special about a place where you can sit, enjoy a meal, and sense that everyone from back of the house all the way to the front of house, has chosen to be there. Passion and intention seeps from this restaurant. What more can you ask for?Portland is lucky. Decent Italian food, outside the home, is hard to find in our city.My advice to anyone reading this review:Just go. Take an evening and just go. Try the olives and have a glass of grappa.Thank you and see you soon.”
“5 stars all around! The amount of love, identity, thought and detail that go into curating the dining experience that is Langbaan, is a unique and very special gastronomic adventure. From the Kanin Krak (scallop), Tom Prape (salmon), Gang Pai (brisket in cha om leaf curry) to the Rice Khao Lam (sticky rice pudding + fixins), your tastebuds are in for a treat that takes dining to an entire new level, another world and culture of flavor! Plus, they really care about the visuals - they made beets look like blood! March was the month highlighting Isaan, the chef’s hometown in Northern Thailand, we really get a taste of his childhood, very nostalgic.I look forward to the month where the menu is unapologetically Thai! I’m talking bile, blood, tripe, and all of the authenticity that makes Thai cuisine so bold and flavorful. I appreciate how thoughtful the chefs are when designing the menu. I encourage customers to be open to the Thai food scene, in all its forms!! I have no doubt that Langbaan will always put heart and soul into their menu. Thank you to the entire staff for their hospitality and for an exceptional dining experience for my birthday and anniversary!”
“Best Mexican restaurant ever.this place was more than I possibly imagined.this place is the pinnacle of culinary creation.love and passion served on a plate.as a sous chef this place motivated and inspired me,food can be so much more than just something you eat.its and experience,an adventure”
“This is the new go-to lunch and dinner spot for all Portland adventurers.Amazing meal! You can taste the high quality of the ingredients and the love put into the food.The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is perfect for anything from first dates, to family dinners, to business lunches. I cannot wait to come back. Perfect 10’s!P.S best wine selection in Portland!”
“Excellent, excellent service and lovely wine pairing with good food in a quaint and intimate atmosphere. The food was delicious but didn't leave a lasting impression. Was it bad food no not at all, but was anything special about the food...not really. It was all a little bland all in all. I would come back, but would I ever crave to do so,no.”
“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!”
“From the moment I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised at how busy it was but such a warm comfortable atmosphere. I came for my Birthday dinner and ended the night with a complimentary dessert! Our waitress was very informative of the menu, recommendations, and how the service was going to go in order. I appreciated the Experience. I will be returning.”
“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.”

“The service was "chefs kiss"Food was good! There were things I enjoyed more than others but definitely a great experience. Would I go again? Maybe... but I would just border a few items and drinks not the full experience meal.”
“This place was so good I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before. Tartar and panna cotta were standout. Had a gluten free marked menu for us.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free friendly”
Cheap Eats
“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!”
“The food was amazing. The restrooms where very dirty. Please keep your restrooms clean for customers.Also while servingbe more attentive to your customers. Please show that you appreciate the customers that support you,Not just your friends and family.”
“Such an awesome coffee shop. There are things everywhere to find. The bathroom is so cute!Food was really delicious, nothing super special but really well made.*Update. Came back yesterday with kiddo after mini golf and had the most amazing Brownie Blizzard thing. Played some games and did the scavenger hunt. Such a cool and unique spot!Vegetarian options: Couple good veggie options!Kid-friendliness: Tons of fun stuff for kids to find!”
“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.”
“The eating area is shared by other food carts, so it can get a bit tight if you decide to eat there when it's busy. But if you're looking for a big delicious and affordable burrito that's gonna fill you up, this is the place to go.”
“I love this cafe! They do good work. Good pastries and drinks, kind customer service. However, they allow people to bring their dogs inside. I really wish they'd only allow service animals like most food establishments.”
“El servicio excelente y la comida súper sabrosa y hecha con mucho cariño. Hoy probé Causa Acevichada, Lomo Saltado, Tallarines Verdes, Tacu-Tacu, Antichos y Picarones. Todo súper recomendado!!! Definitivamente vamos a regresar por más!”
“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 sour beer, hands down. Happy hours Wednesday and Thursday all day and Friday to Sunday 4-6 pm. The end.Parking: Mon-Fri 8 AM TO 6 PM PAY TO PARK. Otherwise free street parking.”
“Michael and Bibi have made a FANTASTIC experience. Stop in, try a sample, you will not be disappointed.We had the chickpea and potato, and salfish bacalhaus, along with the chicken and potato on rice. All of it was amazing. I want to explore the whole menu now. If you're into spicy get their hot sauce for sure.Then take all your food and enjoy Fracture Brewing: they allow outside food in, have a ton of great beer on tap, along with ciders and a full bar! Space is inside and out. Wonderful!”
“I stopped in late because my wife was craving Korean food. What a gem of a place this is. The owner took my order and was super kind. We had the Salmon and the chicken. Both totally over delivered. Salmon perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked. The Kimchi was spot on. Many more meals we will be having. Totally worth driving down from our place in Arbor Lodge. Makes the neighborhood better. Super clean. Sorry no photos as we ate everything too fast.Dietary restrictions: They are all Gluten free. We are not but have friends who are.Kid-friendliness: They were welcoming my four year old being four. So appreciated”
“This is one of the few places that I will absolutely give all five stars. The neighborhood is beautiful, it's run by a husband and wife who are absolutely delightful. All my neighbors love them. I even got a friend who is staunchly religiously against eating pork to try one of their pizzas because he said it smells so good that he could break just this once, lol. He said it was beyond fantastic.I get the spicy Rosso, but I substitute the onions for garlic because I don't like onions on pizza. It's absolutely heavenly! I highly recommend this spot.”
“his is the best Thai food in Portland. Short rib and payaya salad combo is literally the best/tastiest deal in town. So many delicious daily specials alongside my standard pad thai order, it doesn't get better than Zaap. Service is amazing and the owner greets you each time you eat. Best customer service in town-Paul is my guy! This is my wife's favorite meal!”
“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!”
“I keep coming back for the pork belly fried rice and the massaman curry. Really delicious food, great outdoor seating, and they changed their dessert options recently as well. The banana cake was great with the coconut ice cream. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.”
“Delicious! A unique and expert take on classic Italian dishes. Friendly and accommodating staff, there wasn’t a drink on the menu for the specific feel I was looking for and they happily whipped up a beverage for me ?”
“What a gem! We don't eat vegan exclusively but have egg and dairy allergies so getting burgers with cheese and ranch and shakes was awesome! The buddy stix (mozzarella) were not bad but the Paddy's Melt and Newport Nightmare were both great and the Smashed to pieces shake was so good we came back another time just for more shakes! This place is located inside Swan Dive and did not have a sign outside (as they moved recently to the kitchen inside).”
“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!”
“Highly recommended by locals and it didn’t disappoint. I enjoy sours and that’s what brought me here. The large selection of beers is fantastic! I enjoyed a flight of 5 different beers and the bartender gave me a taste of a seasonal one to boot. I was visiting from Alabama for the weekend and I am so glad I was directed to this brewery! The area had great shopping too. Cool local stores nearby.”
“This is our first time there. Super cute building -very cozy. Everyone that worked there was super kind. The food was delicious. We got the goat cheese and calamari- they were great starters. Then we got scallops and seafood fra diavolo. Absolutely delicious. Lastly, we got the kettle chip dulce de leche ice cream for dessert and that was really good too. If you like fresh brewed iced tea, their iced tea is really good too. We are definitely coming back. This is a great spot for a date night!”
“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.”
“I wanted to try a new place for date night and picked a good one. The food was excellent, the service was warm. I made a reservation for the purple room which has about 4 small tables. There is another room that has more tables and a bar. The restaurant is on the second floor of a converted house. I don't think they have an elevator, so you're aware. We got mostly what the waiter recommended. The chicken liver mousse tart was savory and delicate, crust being flaky and good contrast to the vinaigretted frissee. The grilled cauliflower still had crunch and umami. I picked the duck confit which had delicious crispy crust and a slight sweet, salty sauce. My husband had the pork coppa which is a braised pork shoulder over a sauce with delicious huge beans. I thought all the food was outstanding, the presentation was great and flavors well balanced. Ended the night with an almond flour orange cake, not too sweet. I might have skipped that one because the gelee was a little tart and cake a denser than expected. The waiter was great at helping us navigate the menu. I liked all the choices available and can't wait to try more of them. I don't think there is a wrong choice here. Their menu options rotate.”
“A favorite in Portland. We make a point to come here whenever we’re in town. Luce is the closest thing I’ve seen to an authentic Italian trattoria since being in Italy. This visit, our favorites were the rabbit liver crostini, the octopus salad, the spaghetti with bottarga, the lamb pasta and the fish cheeks with lentils. The menu is done in a way where even if you’re a solo diner or just two people, you can try many different things - which I love. And the service is wonderful.You can tell a lot of thought and care go into this place. I hope they’re around for years to come.”
“Holy moly this was some of the best food I have ever eaten. In my life. The burnt ends curry, fried chicken, and ceviche were unforgettable. Drinks were amazing. Service was top notch. Dying to go back!”
“This is one of only a few places that serve Laksa, which is what I was looking for. It was very good, and very filling. When asked, they told me they serve Laksa because the owner was from Singapore. As others have noted, the staff is very nice.”
“Loved everything about this restaurant! All the dishes we tried were delicious, the service was excellent, and the vibe was so good! We cannot wait to come back to try more dishes!”
“Such a great restaurant! My wife had recently been put on a gluten and dairy free exclusion diet and they were able to accommodate and everything was still absolutely delicious. Service is phenomenal and it’s a really beautiful restaurant.”
“Fantastic! I want to give myself 5 stars for finding this place :-)Food is top notch, wine selection and recommendations are top notch, the passion that goes into service is top notch, …We had a memorable dining experience here. Thank you!”
“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 was blown away by this place. Everything we ate was exceptional. It’s so cute inside and the servers are very nice. We got the Spanish charcuterie board and the octopus small plate. They even brought us out 4 pieces of the best focaccia bread in the entire world!! After the bread and the charcuterie board we were both very satisfied, but decided to get the octopus anyways because it sounded so good. And we were SO glad we did. Cannot wait to come back.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We were visiting Portland and this was walking distance from our hotel. I'm so glad we stumbled upon it! The ambiance and decor is incredible. My daughter loved the fish tank and jellyfish wall, of course. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. I was a bit nervous because it seemed like an "adult" place, but they had a kids menu and were completely welcoming. The food was amazing. I'll dream about the brisket empanadas forever. Spicy chicken bites were another winner. Bring friends and come hungry!”
“OMG, this place was amazing. We went at lunchtime on Presidents Day, so I thought it was a little odd that the lunch specials were not available. That was okay, because the food was so fantastic. Wife had the basil chicken which was one of the best Chinese dishes ever. I had the Lamb with Green Onion, which was good, but I'd try something else next time. I rarely see Lamb on a Chinese menu, so I had to try it. We split some green the green tea. The service was fast and friendly, as were some patrons. A couple guys walked by and asked about the b=Basil Chicken, so we told them it was a must! Huge open space that is unexpected given the outside of the historic Louis Building, built in 1885. We are going back!!”
“Stunning and delicious modern twist on Korean flavors. Portions were enough for everyone to be satisfied without being overfull. Set menu priced for a splurge-y dinner. Cocktails were unique and fun. Soju had the cute little auto-pouring frog. Cool to see the meats being aged in the back fridges (during the walk to the back restrooms).”
“Probably the best kafta kabobs in and around Portland. With a healthy serving or 4 kabobs and a massive peice of flat bread on to-go orders it's the best under $20 meal to fill the belly. Staff is very nice and great location with easy parking in the lot.Vegetarian options: It has hummus, tabouli, grape leafs, salads, plenty of optionsParking: Plenty of spots in the paid lot, can pay by QR code easily”
“I've been here a couple times for happy hour when it's fairly empty to grab a drink and snack. The drinks and food I've had have all been fantastic.”
“I’ve been coming here off and on for the past 9 years and never been disappointed until recently... The flavors in their dishes are beautifully layered and the prices are reasonable for a nice sit down restaurant. Their cioppino has always been my go to dish but this last experience left me a little unsatisfied. The portions of crab were very minimal. The radicchio salad was also prepared minimally. Definitely not what I remember. Still giving 5 stars since it was hopefully just mishap :) oh but my favorite chocolate dessert in PDX is the Pot de creme…. Absolutely the best taste, texture and generous portion!!”
“Kee’s Loaded Kitchen gets it right! I am from the south and have been searching for southern style food that has not been adulterated with other styles. This some of the best fries catfish I have ever eaten. The greens are on point (which is a rare find). The remaining sides are exactly what I would find in the southeast and delicious! I will be back and I plan to share this with all of my local friends that are interested in southern food.”
“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!”
“MEC is always fabulous. It’s the kind of place you can count on having stellar food and excellent service every time. They really make outstanding vegetable dishes. This is one of the only places I don’t have room for meat when I want all of my favorites. The cauliflower dish and the charred carrots are crazy good!”
“I learn about this place from chef’s table. I got what I was looking for: unique and tasty pizza experience. We had fennel sausage + kale pizza and morel mushroom + spinach pizza. Super tasty, super interesting. The dough is crispy outside and soft, chewy inside. Would love to come back to try more!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I loved all the food we ordered and would go back again to try other menu items. Even the simple market salad was served ice cold with a great dressing. Tofu Katsu was crunchy and tasty, and the soup was excellent.”
“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.”
“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.”
“It's a nice little bar with a good DJ on the weekend. The bartender who served my drinks was top-notch! He did an excellent job for my negroni. It is worth it to try if you come to visit downtown ”
“The service and food are excellent. I always have a hard time deciding what to get. They have a huge assortment of pastries and baked goods up front to take to go.”
“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!”
“This was the single best dining experience I've EVER had. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, and there was a personal touch that I've never experienced. The lamb was probably the best dish I've ever had, and the cocktails were stunning as well. This might be the best restaurant in Oregon, the creativity of the flavors is OFF THE CHARTS. 10/10.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”
“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.”
“Cozy, intimate atmosphere. Great for a date or outing with a friend or two. Extensive wine list, both for glasses and bottles. Our server Pierre was incredibly knowledgeable and made our visit a fun experience.”
“Great food, value, and service. One of the best prime rib lve had regionally.The bean and bacon soup tasted like someone's grandma cooked it in a big pot in the back.so good.The bread was hot and fresh. Again- it's so good.Haven't been since they closed in beaverton. That will have to change. They're still great after all these years!”
“Was in town for a few days and came in for lunch. First time at this spot though I've been to Han Oak before. Lunch was really excellent. I went with the Ban Chan side dishes, a dol sot bowl of rice, and split the Korean fried chicken with one wing of each flavor (essence of ramen and sweet and spicy) The ban chan was quite good, especially the marinated spinach. The wings were also excellent. Beautiful crunch and flavor. One order plus the sides was enough for lunch (for me, at least). My only disappointment was the dol sot rice. It wasn't actually dol sot. There was no fried crunch on the bottom, probably because it wasn't actually cooked in this pot. Just served that way. Felt a little unnecessary. Just a side of rice will do. Service was excellent. Sat at the bar and my bartender was kind and sweet. Was lovely to be back in PDX. Will come back for lunch next time I return.”
“Food, tasty. Beers, tasty. Sports on the TV, awesome.But what I really want to talk about is the bar stools. I have never in my life sat on a bar stool that fit my entire a$$. Thank you. I have never been so comfortable and felt so seen in an establishment. There's something truly next level about being able to sit in a seat that doesn't pinch or cut off circulation while you devour cauliflower in a lighter than air batter.”
“Love the experience here! We came here about 9 months ago, and I was obsessed with the squash toast. They didn’t have that on the menu this time but the jalapeño popper burger was amazing!!!!!”
“The food was incredible and service to match with it. The interior decor is simple but beautiful. if you're looking for your next sushi place or wanting to check out a new place I highly recommend it.”
“The food here is incredibly good. From the hummus an tzatziki, yellow rice, fire roasted vegetables, and lamb kabob, the flavors were amazing. I wanted just one kabob and the owner was kind enough to accommodate me. I will definitely be back.”
“This is one of those Hollywood steak houses. It's been around forever they get all the big names to sign something for their wall. They have the service and quality food to back it up. Best lobster I've ever had and fantastic service.If you've been to a place like this before you know what you're getting into. If it is your first time, enjoy it. You are paying not just for the meal but an experience. Take your time, speak up if anything is not to your liking, and budget the time and money to relax and enjoy.”
“i came here a few times, it was nice, a warm and nice meal with a kind waitress, had a nice place to sit as well, recommended. ambiance of there had a cool vibe too.”
“Food, drinks, and atmosphere are always a 10/10! I moved to this area recently and was recommended to try it. I absolutely love it each time I've been and always order the specials.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Went here on a Saturday morning, party of two. We were seated at the bar. Servers were very attentive. Great service, ambiance, and food! The hotcakes looked almost too pretty to eat.”
“I absolutely love the decor of The Slide Inn, it really feels like I have stepped into an entire different country when i walk in. The food AND drinks are always a win, and they have great vegan and gluten free offerings, as well! The pita and hummus plate is the best I've ever had. ?Dietary restrictions: Vegan, gluten-free”
“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!”
“Without a doubt one of the best sandwich joints in Portland. Absolutely everything made here is created with a passion for delicious food, and you can certainly tell when you taste it. From the smoked chicken wings, to the burgers, to the properly layered and piled high nachos, you will not be disappointed with anything you get on the menu. Pair anything with their extensive liquor selection and great tap list, along with amazing cocktails they make in house. I feel like when I’m inside, it’s like I’m back in my grandparents basement. It’s cozy and has a great feeling. Patio is great for the summertime. I can’t recommend this place enough.”
“So pleased to have found a new great local bar with pleasant bartenders, tasty cocktails, and numbly chow (mac & cheese w bacon, fried chix sammich, &c.)”
“Shalom Y’all had been highly recommended and did not disappoint in the slightest. Unless you’re particularly adverse to train horn jumpscares (railroad beside the restaurant), the infrastructure and atmosphere are elegant and beautiful. I was comped a mixed greens salad with fantastic dressing to start and then had a Moroccan mint tea and a Shalom Y’all plate which together had to have been the best meal I’ve had in Portland since Dove Vivi. Mike provided great service. Drink menu was very thorough. Only issue is tough to park near. 10/10”
“The Hotate or Sea Scallop sushi with yuzu pepper marmalade was out this world good. We also ordered the Guac N' Roll & French Quarter Roll. Excellent flavors. We didn't even need soy sauce. The Guac N' Roll has a unique presentation and the roll was balance & on point. I will recommend Yoshi to anyone interested in sushi!”
“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.”
“My sister and I have tried 15 different pizza places in Portland and this is at the top of both of our lists, above many other amazing spots. It's incredible. Consume and thank me later.”
“Absolutely amazing. From the moment of entering. Great staff, great knowledge of the menu, and able to recommend great options. Every single thing we ordered was so flavorful. Can not wait to go back!!!”

“John's Marketplace is my favourite place to go. Awesome beer selection, good food, and owned by some awesome people. I also appreciate that the Hall Blvd location has a dog friendly patio.”
“delicious but super abrasive and unfriendly customer service. others felt the same way being barked at to wait outside in the rain whether you were picking up food or had a reservation”
“Hands down the best dinner experience I had on my trip to Portland - and I went to Han Oak be Laangbaan so really the bar was high! Intimate but approachable setting, great service, and quality fish. Our chef was thoughtful and informative without being too overbearing, and we were able to have a nice family meal while learning about the ingredients and engaging with the experience. Would recommend and will be back! Not cheap but worth the price point.”
“Craving something a little adventurous tonight, decided to see what the hype was about. Totally efficient ordering and pickup. Sooooo delicious - wish I had ordered MANY orders of the dumplings. Next time! Every bite a new taste sensation. This is why we ❤️ restaurants!”
“The bar is cute & the food was good. It came out, however, almost immediately- meaning it was all premade which felt a little fast-food. Prices are not fast food, however.”
“Sat at the bar Sunday evening and our bartender was fabulous. Loved her suggestions and was very personable. She recommended the pizza of the day and the Niçoise salad; both were delicious. Definitely will be back.”
“Ordered 30 baklava for Eid celebration. Easy to order via email and called w my credit card #. Easy peasy pickup. A little disappointed with how dry the baklava was, but still good. Would like to try a full meal there.”
“This place is literally everything. The best sushi in town, for sure. But more than that, every time we walk in, Alex makes us feel warm and welcome. We have had an amazing experience every time we walk in that door. We've always loved Bamboo, but since Alex joined the team at this location, it's like walking into a warm hug. The staff is attentive, smiling, and helpful. The food is OUTSTANDING. As a chef from NYC, it's the best sushi I've ever had outside of the city (and probably even better!) Alex goes above and beyond to make her guests and her staff feel comfortable and happy. Only 5 stars because I can't give it 6. Eat here or you will regret it.”

“Salvi was the best experience I’ve had at a restaurant since getting to Portland. Their pupusas are better than my Tios and everyone is so wonderfully warm and inviting. Be sure to come by on a Wednesday for $5 pints AND pupusas!!! I did the 3 pupusas for 13 so I could try 6 different ones with my partner and every single one was amazing.”
“This place is my absolute favorite food truck. The woman that runs it is so full of kindness. The food is delicous. If they sold the peanut sauce, id buy it by the gallon!”
“I absolutely love this small Mexican food chain, the great food at a good price and open very late. The only problem I had here was that it was fairly cold in the dining room and it was freezing outside. I had hoped to enjoy eating my dinner in peace and warmth here. Other than that, I love this place and wish there were more of them around Portland.”
“Recently visited one of the best rated Ethiopian restaurants in South Africa and it was nowhere near as delicious as Lalibela. Best Ethiopian food we’ve ever had.”

“Great food, staff are super friendly, always asking if you would like more meat red card or green! Everytime I go I leave super happy and full. Brunch to even past dinner sometimes. This place is a definite 4, would recommend keeping the glass bottles off your table, if you like drinking water at 15 bucks a piece they add up quick. Taste good but not told untill the bill that they're 15$. 30 dollars for 2 waters is the only reason this score is not a five. Other steak houses charge 8$ and that's a little overwhelming. Yours outrageous!! Food and staff on their game.”
“From the moment I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised at how busy it was but such a warm comfortable atmosphere. I came for my Birthday dinner and ended the night with a complimentary dessert! Our waitress was very informative of the menu, recommendations, and how the service was going to go in order. I appreciated the Experience. I will be returning.”
“An impressive view of the entire city, exquisite food accompanied by excellent service with background music that encourages you to stay in the place, if you want to live a relaxed experience and enjoy the city...it is the appropriate place, either with family or with your partner.Parking: They stamp your ticket when paying the bill.Kid-friendliness: There are different environments where you can share with the family.”
“Magnificent Restaurant for its panoramic view, its menu and the exquisite flavor of its offers, and the good service of the staff. We want to congratulate and thank the young man who served us at the table, named Zach, for his kindness and elegance when serving, and helping us select the menu. We will surely return.Magnificent Restaurant for its panoramic view, its menu and the exquisite flavor of its offers, and the good service of the staff.

“The wait staff was very attentive without smothering. The food was very well prepared and tasty. I had the chowder and sturgeon. The in-shell clams in the chowder were a nice touch. I will return.”
“I've always enjoyed this place. I've come here explicitly on special occasions. The view is gorgeous especially on a spring early afternoon when the sun is just right. The service is fantastic with what seems to be the right level of revisiting to be helpful and non-suffocating.Food looked wonderful and tasted good. I'm still trying to give fish tacos a chance but it isn't working out. I'll need to keep looking for the fish taco for me. But the cider-esque beverage I ordered was crisp and refreshing. My lobster bisque was different but flavourful. I'll need something in the future to dull a bit of said flavor, it was a little much for me but still quite an experience! The meal others had looked amazing and worth trying!”
“Incredible! Love the western bayou vibes in this place. You can feel the history of guests past in the bar. I was there during happy hour and had a few appetizers, two entrees, and a handful of drinks and only spent $100. Nowadays when you step outside and pay $100 to take a breath, it was great to feel like I actually got great value for my money. Food was delicious as well which was just icing on the cake.”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience. Cody was our server and was very professional. All the staff was extremely friendly and we definitely felt very welcome there. Food was top notch and great ”
“Overall the food was very good; there were a few croutons in the lobster bisque that tasted stale though; the flavors of the dinner were great overall, but it appeared that the sauces were not well distributed through the Chile Bass Oscar and the associated vegetables; some of the potato puree seemed bland and other parts were flavorful, and the same with the sea bass, as if they were labeled on at the last min instead of cooked in certain sauces; normally I wouldn't mind, but for a $205 dinner i would expect more. As always the raw oysters and bag of chocolate and fruit with custard were superlative;”
“Trendy upscale restaurant. Service was outstanding. Very polite, attentive, and knowledgeable. The lunch menu is fairly small, but small menus keep the food fresh and fantastic in my mind. Fun atmosphere with lounging area. Giant atrium inside of the 9s hotel. I failed to get a photo on my chicken sandwich and fries, but both were excellent. Others in the group went with the mushroom scallop risotto, which looked amazing.”
“We love Melting Pot and visit them a couple times per year. Our dinner tonight with no exception and was very tasty. My only complaint is that service was a bit slow.”
“Went here for wife’s 32nd bday with our 6.5 month old baby. The staff there were amazing. The 3 course menu with drink pairing was wonderful. Jason and Petra made the experience wonderful. When Petra introduced herself to our daughter she was upset that her new friend had to leave and go back to work. Petra was awesome and asked if she was able to give our daughter a dessert treat and our daughter loved the treat.Dietary restrictions: I have to be gluten free and they made sure all my items were gluten free.”

“Eager to celebrate the Chinese New Year, my friend and I were craving Chinese food and decided to give Warsugai a try. I'm glad we did! The restaurant is lovely with mint tiles surrounding the bar, a waving kitty on the wall, and plants around the perimeter. The door was opened for us as we entered, and we were seated quickly. Since we wanted to be adventurous and try multiple items on the menu, my friend and I decided to order the Pu Pu Platter. Not really a platter though, our food came out individually and took up the majority of our table. Ours came with the Silken Ota Tofu, Noble House Pork Potstickers, Dungeness Crab Long Rangoon, BBQ Pork Coppa, Sizzling Black Pepper Beef Short Ribs, Taishan Cauliflower, and Warsugai. Everything was flavorful and delicious, so it was hard to pick favorite items. Although I'm not usually a fan of tofu, I enjoyed the differing textures of the soft tofu and crispy potato and scallions. The crab rangoon was amazing! No imitation crab here...Fresh crab rolled up in a spring roll fashion and served with a chili sauce. Yum! We also enjoyed the bbq pork coppa which came with a dollop of mustard which complimented the pork nicely. Finally, the Warsugai itself was delicious. Lightly fried chicken which was not overly heavy or greasy topped with almond gravy and almond slivers on a bed of shredded lettuce. So good! Your server will check you out at your table which is convenient, but also a little awkward since he or she will be in front of you when the machine prompts for a tip and a rating of your meal and service. This was not a deterrent since everything was wonderful. Hoping they will add a dessert item or two to the menu someday. We loved our experience at Warsugai and look forward to elevated Chinese food again soon!”
“The food is excellent and the staff is very nice! Also, they fulfill as ordered. A very welcome addition to the neighborhood! (PS - I want to add we've actually gotten food four times here so far, consistently a pleasure as stated, so not just a one-time thing!)”
“Such a cool spot! The vibes are fun and friendly. The sweetest staff with great recommendations. We drove from newberg for one drink and obviously stayed for more and ended up closing the place down. We will definitely be back. Thank you ladies for a great little night out.”
“Great to see Dub back! We had the chicken strips with Cole slaw, greens, and fries. Everything was as good as ever, and the new location is easier to get to, and has easy parking.”
“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.!”
“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!”
“It was truly an amazing experience. Everything was delicious. The staff was awesome. Everyone was friendly. Every dish was better than the last. The twice cooked pork, amazing. The PLAINTAIN BRIOCHE BUNS, delicious and full of flavor. Wish we'd had two servings. The peanut, creamed greens are full of subtle flavor that builds and builds. The smoked ribs ranked among the best grilled beef I've ever had. The BLANCMANGE, with coconut custard, might be the best thing we had. It's a rare experience where we talked about what we want to try next time as we were driving home. Both of us are looking forward to going back again! Oh, and their drinks are amazing as well. Their Hearthfire was filled with flavor and heat! Delicious!”
