“It was delicious!!! Rabbit, foie gras, pigs feet, escargot, halibut, eel, scallops, all the fancy sauces….SOOO good!! Every bite was just perfectly executed. The staff was so friendly and engaging which made it really fun to sit at the chef’s counter!”
“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!”
“all I can think saying is it’s delicious every spoonful come out and have some …delicious I promise”

“Delicious & immaculately presented, robust drink menu and Tapas done right 😋”
“Probably the best pizza in Oregon. I’ve had pizza scholls and this place is just as good or better. It’s also more reliable as far as actually being open. I like pizza scholls but it’s a nightmare to try and plan any pizza or if it’s even open on that day. This a great reliable pizza place that is right up there or better. The parking is a bit terrible cause it closer to inner city and new seasons doesn’t allow outside parking. The full pizzas are smaller so two hungry can share an entire pizza or maybe one really hungry. I will be back I haven’t tried the folded pizza yet.”

“Best Chicken and Beef Shawarma in Oregon”
“I’ve now been twice and the food has been excellent both times. The calamari was a highlight for me this trip. My server has been great both times as well. And every thing is very reasonably priced. Will definitely return for a third time!”
“Every time we visit we go to Fishwife restaurant. We haven't had a bad dish. Highly recommend”
“Great service , amazing staff. Pizza the best in Portland”
“Great & friendly neighborhood breakfast joint! Cozy bar atmosphere with wonderful staff. Delicious eggs benedict & tasty Bloody Marys. I’ll definitely be back.”
“Amazing place! Waffle was really good, latte was ok. I wouldn’t say it wasn’t tasty, just strong and bitter, which is not my type of coffee. But for sure try Lavender Lemonade! It’s is so tasty”
“My son and I ate dinner here on Tuesday evening, 10-01-24. The male waiter was unimpressive, and asked the young lady behind the bar to take us. I was freshly out of surgery and needed to eat something. She quickly moved us to a padded booth when I asked. She was very prompt and very courteous. An absolute sweetheart. She was professional with our orders and accommodating to our particular requests, mine especially, given the circumstances. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the rosemary chicken and a bland salad with cucumbers. The salad tasted fresh. The chicken was perfect. I would give 5 stars, but some of the other patrons seemed judgmental, and I was displeased with the young man who seemed offended by the couple of rural folks in the big city.”
“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.”
“I've been coming to this restaurant for the past three years with my boyfriend. Last night we re created our first date, with my mother in law and two of our closest friends. After receiving our drinks, we exchanged a small gift, then I proposed. All of the staff came to congratulate us. One staff member gifted us a pair of shot glasses from lavka. The food was incredible, the drinks were amazing. I cant thank the staff enough for helping us to make this day so memorable. Thank you all! Спасибо !!!!”

“Lilia is an absolute gem and my new favorite Portland restaurant. The menu changes weekly based on the freshest ingredients, and every dish bursts with bold flavors and inspiration from across Mexico. The vibe is chill and the staff are sweet and knowledgeable. Music was great (rock en español) and not too loud, so you could have a conversation at your table without yelling (yay!)
We tried the chef’s tasting menu, which included two appetizers (PNW oysters and tomato/melon salad, two large plates (mushroom barbacoa & cheese-filled corn dish and king salmon which was caught that morning) and two desserts (fig pastie and a creamy Asian pear). We also got the carnitas chilaquiles separately—highly recommend. Each dish was beautifully prepared, incredibly tasty, and unforgettable. The wine pairing ($68 per person) was thoughtfully curated and well worth it, and the cocktails were just as impressive.
Can’t wait to go back!!!!”
“Came in with some friends. They had patience of waiting for the long line but I did not. I just grabbed the pint of honey lavender flavor ice cream in their fridge then went straight to the cashier so I didnt have to wait in line. The ice cream was delicious and one of my favorite flavors, then 2nd would be blue cheese n pear flavor. The atmosphere was clean and the place smells like amazing vanilla scent because of the waffle cones they make there. One of my favorite ice cream places ❤️”

“Darrian was an incredible server! His energy was infectious, and he gave great cocktail suggestions. I told him to surprise me, and the drink he brought out was amazing. Definitely made the experience even better!”

“Had to have some pizza therapy after the presidential election results. This place was great. Beautiful spot and really good pizza. We had the mushroom truffle pizza, which was perfect. The crust was great! I forgot to get a picture of the whipped ricotta with honey and garlic. The server recommended it and it was a perfect add on. We’ll definitely return here!”

“Everything about this place is phenomenal. The food is so delicious. We tried several things off the menu and couldn’t decide what our favorite was. They were all that good. And the staff are on top of it! Friendly, helpful, and happy. And we had the most sensational cocktails ever! Highly highly highly recommend this place. Great vibe and energy too!”
“Amazing. The mole is awesome, the fish was so well cooked. The tlayuda was amazing. So sad it’s closing. Every dish just slaps. The drinks are also great takes on a classic. Do not pass on the dessert!”

“I absolutely loved the customer service I received. I ordered online and got my sandwich made on time and efficiently. The manager there is a real gem and truly has a heart for their customers! It was early in the morning too, so to receive a smile and positivity in service was really a day maker!!”
“Stopped by to try the queso burger I've been hearing about on the radio! A lady was cleaning but she came over to take my order within a couple minutes. She recommended the strawberry lemonade and it was definitely refreshing. The place was spotless, highly recommended.”
“I had the carne asada burrito here. It was very delicious and I enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and I got a lot of smiles. The customer tables were a little dirty but it seemed like construction worker grim. I imagine they just had a rush. Surfaces behind the counter were clean.”
“One of the best brunch spots in Portland. Everything is high quality, and they even have delicious mocktails! The seasonal veggie hash was a clear winner for us. The fried chicken was so juicy and tender. Highly recommend- come early because it’s crowded and there’s always a line!!”
“Bar staff very friendly and approachable. Drinks are strong - which is good! Wings are so good - comparable to my faves like chemgio and hat yai (same amazing level of flavor and moistness). Would come back!”

“Tap-Tap Cuisine is absolutely the best! The food is full of flavor, and you can really tell it’s made with love. Every dish tastes amazing, and the customer service is top-notch. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for delicious food with incredible service, you have to check out Tap-Tap Cuisine—you won’t be disappointed!

“Absolutely amazing tasty food! We had the tacos and instantly fell in love. I could cry with how good it was. The hosts and staff were so friendly and accommodating all around great atmosphere and learning their story made it all the more heart opening. Thank you so much 🫶🫶🫶🙏”
“Houston native, visiting Portland for the second time. Last time we came, we passed by Awafi and didn’t get to try it! This time, we got to chat with Ali, who was very kind and shared that he runs the cart alone, and we finally got to try the kofta and chicken saj. Both were delicious and reflected Iraqi cuisine beautifully. We will be back!”
“Cozy neighborhood vibes. Had to remind myself it is a bar. Kinda loud, but then again it is a bar. Scored low on service because there is zero table service. You have to keep getting up to order at the bar. Good burger and fries. Trout chips and dip was different but tasty. Overall good experience.”
“Another visit to Portland, another great vegan experience. Coming from a smaller town without a single vegan/vegetarian restaurant, it is such a pleasure to have not just vegan restaurant options but to be able to experience and enjoy vegan renditions of cuisines from around the world. My first time trying Venezuelan food was/will be a memorable one. My wife and I tried the Patacon de Carne Asada and the Arepa de Carne Asada. Both were very good, with the Patacon being both of our favorite. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to try vegan Venezuelan 🇻🇪!”
“This place nails it every time. Service is friendly and efficient. Cocktails are creative and delicious, as you’d expect from a Ninsom operation, his spots always have a great bar setup. Photo here of the prawn curry. Damn was that amazing! Also got the tom yum noodles which ruled.”
“The food, the cocktails are great along with the staff. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.”
“Great restaurant, we go everytime we are in Portland. Great food, great ambience and wonderful staff. Plus an outstanding butcher shop”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is one of my favorite places to each lunch, a great place to meet a friend, and the friendliest service you can imagine. I wish more restaurants focused on doing one thing well and being deeply authentic in vibe and presentation. After today's visit I felt compelled to write a review because it sparked true joy. This is a meal that you end up thinking about - sometimes DIRECTLY after eating it. You should probably go - there's bike parking directly outside, and it will be something you enjoy.”
“This place is the Portland dream: an incredible farm-to-table dining experience in an unassuming, DIY-charming little storefront - which you can just walk into without a reservation, on most nights. Yes, the service can be a bit spacey and slow, if always well intentioned. But the food and wine are so incredibly lovely it’s worth a little patience. While you wait out The NY Times hype at L’orange, eat here! It hits a very similar, very high note!”
“Had my second visit to Kaede yesterday and it was just as incredible as the first. The omakase was outstanding — everything fresh, seasonal, and prepared with amazing attention to detail. The space itself is intimate, stylish, and has a quiet, understated elegance. The couple running it are warm and welcoming, with a kind, no-pressure approach that makes the whole experience even better. Truly a gem — I’ll definitely be back.”
“Kate’s all vegan and gluten free ice cream is an inclusive dream for many people with dietary restrictions and a sweet tooth 😜 Everyone working there has been accommodating when I’ve asked about other food sensitivities, too, like oat. It’s ridiculously delicious and I recommend the ice cream sandwiches if you can have oats!”
“Their newer digs in the SE warehouse district are tougher to spot than their pre-covid NW ones, but the hunt is worth it. Look closely for an unassuming sign above the door. Their charcuterie and mussels are as good as ever, and the gazpacho, even better. The new space is divided: One part larger, more airy; the bar part darker and more intimate. Take your pick. The service isn't stuffy but very attuned to the menu and diners. We had a great experience. OP earned its recent rave review in the Oregonian's 2025 Best Restaurants.”
“The homemade vegan English muffin sando was next level. We got the local tofu patty and it was amazing, totally worth the upgrade. Coffee was delicious, and the staff was friendly and personable. You have no idea how hard that hit for two weary travelers. This is a must stop on all future PDX trips! Thank you so much!”
“I think this may literally be the best pizza I have ever had and I love pizza. Get here early to get in line before they open, but you should definitely check it out if you are looking for great pizza.”
Fine Dining
“Mucca Osteria came highly recommended by a friend. The restaurant is indeed elegant and has a very intimate feel to it. The food was incredibly delicious. My family ordered scallops as an appetizer and all of us agreed they were among the best we've ever tasted. Our server Jenny was supremely knowledgeable about each entree and appropriate wine pairing for each of our meals. My son ordered octopus which he enjoyed immensely. The dessert they served as a birthday celebration was especially memorable. Thank you for a lovely dining experience.”
“Everything. This is not just going to dinner. This is a dining experience. It’s a small reserved venue. Yes it’s spendy, but worth every penny. You’ll try food you never thought you try. The mostly seafood menu it so well prepared. Plus you can watch the prepared each course. A fun night.”
“Amazing food! We did the 7 course option and it turned out wonderful. The staff is sooo super friendly and knowledgeable about everything. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in Portland. Also holds a special place in my heart since we got engaged there. :)”
“Very good tasting menu full of bright flavors, fun textures, nice wine pairings, and engaged service. $135 per head, expect $16-20 for cocktails, or $65 for the wine pairing (which is great). I left quite full, I feel like you really get your money’s worth in terms of pre-fixe dining. Would come back for a date night for sure, but it was laid back enough for me to listen to music and read.”
“While staying at the Portland RItz we decided to wrap up our day at the Bellpine with drinks and snacks. We were able to be immediately seated without a wait, although I was surprised last call came so early in the night. Service was fast and congenial, and the whisky/snacks selection was nice overall. Prices were, as expected, ridiculous but really you're paying for the vibes and atmosphere. The views are incredible and the energy inside is upbeat and fun. Would come back again for drinks, but would probably eat elsewhere beforehand or afterwards.”
“Food was exception but it took us a tad longer than expected to be seated and the noise levels were through the roof where yelling was needed to hold a conversation. Service was solid as well. If looking for something intimate, you may need to consider someplace else but understand, the food & drink was 10/10!”
“This place is amazing. I just got back from London, Mayfair. And I can say for sure that our of the few restaurants I visited there, none would surpass Jenkins in terms of sensation of taste. Breakfast menus out there are top knotch for sure, but Jenkins is definitely better overall than even Hide. And Hide has 1 Michelin star.
Sidenote, the blueberry creme brulee is simply the best I've had. In my entire life.”
“I've come in there several times . Never really feeling comfortable because most of the employees are busy visiting with regulars and people they know They might offer you something to drink once in a while. Until ERICKA !!! She gives excellent customer service (this 5 star rating is for her) I was in there the other day and she was calling every single person by name. She us wonderful. You are very lucky to have her as an employee. I hope your paying her a decent wage because if not I would snatch her up in a heartbeat . She gives excellent customer service. I guarantee you that she is what brings alot of your business in. Thank you Erika for making me feel welcome!”

“The creativity of the menu is interesting and the combinations of flavors is outstanding. The wine parings were exceptional. The staff was attentive , knowledgeable, and friendly.”

“I love this place - There was a guy I hadn't seen before working tonight and he stopped midway through making my lamb curry to check and give me a spice/salt level test. The guy who I usually see did the same thing before I started regularly visiting and he got to know my levels - These guys care about making their customers into regulars and you can tell that they're proud of what they do. As expected with this level of personalized service and care, the food is out out of this world and is my go-to for a cold rainy day - Luckily we have lots of them! Get the lamb curry - The lamb chunks are spoon tender, the curry is spiced perfectly and the rice is fluffy and aromatic!”
“Real neat place with fun staff. I got the Beast and the Beauty sandwich, and it was huge! Absolutely delicious with a ton of meat and delicious toppings. My friend got a gluten free Rose City smashburger, and it was on a sliced sandwich bread that got toasted but no complaints from them. Definitely recommend.
Dietary restrictions: Seems like the only gluten free bread they have is sliced loaf bread.”
“We’ve been coming to Wu-Ron’s Ramen for a while now—probably over 20 visits—and it never disappoints. It’s a small, tucked-away spot that we only share with a handful of people because we love being able to stop in and enjoy a fresh, consistently amazing bowl of ramen without the crowd. The quality is always spot on, no matter the day. The waitress always remembers our order, which makes it feel like home, and the cook always greets us with a smile. That kind of warmth and consistency is rare, and it’s one of the many reasons we keep coming back. Wu-Ron’s is one of those hidden gems you want to keep to yourself, but honestly—it’s too good not to recommend!”
“We think that we have found our niche,
Sunday morning Keeper quiche.
She reads her book, I'm on my phone,
Sometimes I come here all alone,
No matter what our party size,
About the quiche I fantasize.
With crust so buttery and fine
To take a bite is just divine.
The filling, with those creamy eggs,
I start to drool, my taste bud begs.
And coffee compliments the taste,
A single drop we will not waste.
I hesitate, review to write
In fears that compliments just might
Extend the line to out the door-
Customers, do they need more?
But we want them to succeed
So they can, any Sunday, feed
The Portland crowd, and do it well,
Keeper Coffee - Really Swell.”
“I learned about this place from a friend who gifted my husband an amazing Tiramisu. I was pleasantly surprised to taste a Tiramisu that actually tasted authentic. Curious, I decided to visit, and I discovered that they make a variety of desserts, including cannoli, which are filled just before you buy them ( finally some place that can do that!)I also tried the cornetto (This should not be confused with a croissant) and the focaccia, and wow! Finally, a focaccia that doesn’t have a lingering taste of acidity. The coffee was good too as the atmosphere and the service. I totally advise this Italian place especially becouse, in my opinion,they can make very Italian taste.”
“Awesome addition to the Portland coffee scene. Hit up about 5 coffee shops on a trip and sterling was up there along with Sisters. Worker was incredibly helpful and friendly, noticed we were visiting and recommended other coffee shops too. Real inviting space and Kens is just up the street which makes for a killer combo. Before leaving decided to get some beans and worker comp'd me some house beans, such a kind gesture!”
“The husband and I were on a ramen rampage, and the weather was our perfect excuse. Then, out of nowhere, we stumbled upon this restaurant. The service was spot-on, the food arrived in record time, and that ramen? Sheer perfection. The broth was a flavor bomb, the chashu was tender and divine, and those noodles? Freshly made and sublime. We left feeling like we just discovered ramen nirvana.”
“Tusk is great. Especially for a nice date night. The food is exquisite and the service is AMAZING.”
“We had one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in years at this restaurant. After a long day of walking, we arrived with our kids—ages 3 and 5—tired, cranky, and full of energy. From the moment we walked in, the service was nothing short of outstanding.
Every member of the staff—from the host to the bartender to our server—went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at ease. They were genuinely kind, patient, and completely unphased by our feral kids. It was clear they not only tolerate children, but understand them.
Without us even asking, the staff offered to bring the kids’ meals out first, provided toys to keep them entertained, and even cut the crusts off their sandwiches. The extra attention to detail made all the difference—our kids have never cleaned their plates so well.
The food was equally impressive. Both my wife and I had delicious meals—well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We left full, happy, and incredibly grateful. It’s rare to be able to finish meals with preschoolers in tow.
If you’re looking for a restaurant that welcomes families with genuine warmth and delivers excellent food and service, this place is a gem. We’ll absolutely be back.”

“Fantastic time at Cabezon! They made special mocktails for us and asked us our preferences of flavors- we felt really taken care of! Food was delicious too, my favorite was the pork chop and the cheese board, but the basil shrimp and butter lettuce salad were also so good! Don't forget dessert, we loved the honey lavender crème brûlée! Ambiance was nice, I loved the jelly fish light fixtures!”
“Honestly, best tasting experience I've ever had! And amazing service! Thanks so much!”
“I've been eating here since 2015 and ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place. Top notch sushi with a wonderful staff. This is my 1st choice place for sushi in Portland Oregon”
“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.”
“Have loved the observatory for many years. The cheese platter and fry bread never disappoint!
Wonderful bar in the back to grab some cocktails and enjoy an evening out.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had such incredible Chinese food! Not only was the taste outstanding, but the satisfying, wholesome feeling afterward was equally memorable. You can tell this meal was made with a kind heart.”
“This place nails it every time. Service is friendly and efficient. Cocktails are creative and delicious, as you’d expect from a Ninsom operation, his spots always have a great bar setup. Photo here of the prawn curry. Damn was that amazing! Also got the tom yum noodles which ruled.”
“The botanical menu features truly unique and local flavors from Cascadia. I was impressed by everything presented to me. I would recommend getting the paired drinks menu and they have a non-alcoholic option.”
“My favorite restaurant in Portland, and that is really saying something! The food is delicious and very good value for both the quality and the amount of food in each order. Lots of good gluten free options and hearty vegan proteins”
“Absolutely yes! Loved the space and ambiance. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching them make all the cocktails! Best way to see which one looks like the next drink to try! Great service! Friendly staff!”
“Feral has been on my to-try list for some time and glad to have finally been able to experience it. The interior is cozy-moody with dark wallpaper, wood, and dark metal details with enough light to see but not be too bright and uncomfortable. This place gets busy, so reservations are recommended. Due to this, there is a 90-minute limit often, so plan accordingly. Ordered the Summer Tartine with Zaatar, Tortelloni, and Lion's Mane Steak Au Cooper, in that order. Dishes came out one-by-one with about 10-minutes between. The Tartine was well displayed and delicious, but more of a 4/5 rating for me. The tofu pate portion of the Tartine left a bit to be desired. The Tortelloni on the other hand was amazing! It was exquisite in taste and texture. I wasn't sure what to think about the corn sauce it would be drenched in while ordering, but it hardly tasted like corn and blended with the rest of the ingredients well. The Lion's Mane was also fantastic and mouth watering. I'm not much of a mushroom fan, but have been warming up to them and all the mushrooms in every dish were done really well. The place clears out fast at closing, so if you come for a romantic late night meal (awesome date spot), you might be the last ones there past 10. Overall, had a great time here and would definitely come back when the menu changes, which is often.”
“Went here as a early Mother’s Day treat with my daughter. Had the sample plate…. So delicious and we learned we liked it all! Also got a sundae….. totally recommend. For take home I got the cookies. This place is a gem! Stop by and check it out for sure if you are ever in the area.”
“We stumbled upon Otto and Anita’s and were amazed at the great food, service and the extensive menu. We will absolutely go back to try other dishes. Apple strudel to go.”
“I came for Drag Bingo & had such a fun time! Loved the deviled eggs!!! I will return for more Drag Bingo.
There was this candle burning in the bathroom that smelled so good! I would still like to find out where they got that candle.”
“We loved the atmosphere of this place! The food was also one of the best that I’ve had in a long time! Definitely recommend the Chinese Sashimi, Kuay Teow Kua Gai (if you like spicy, this is great!!), and the spicy chicken cashew (the chicken was so soft and tasty!!!). Not only Nikki, our server was very knowledgeable. Every person that came to our table to drop off a plate, would go over what it contained and their own suggestions on how to eat it. 100% worth it!”

“This place is one of a kind. The food was deliciously balanced and nuanced. Every dish we indulged in was so wonderful. It is a charming intimate spot and will be a go to whenever we visit Portland. The staff was also wonderful and so accommodating. Thank you again for the wonderful experience”
“Service is so phenomenal here and everyone is so kind. The food is always amazing and in large quantities too so I always end up with leftovers. My grandmother is Korean and all these meals remind me of her ♥️ so happy to have this place so close to me in St. John’s!”
“The owner is super nice and friendly. I love the decorations. Very warm and inviting. Feels like you are in HaNoi. Food is authentic. Good place to go to for special occasion or hang out with friends.”
“Fantastic quality and great and friendly service. Highly recommended!”
“My wife and I come here for special occasions and last night we celebrated her birthday! As always, the service was excellent, food was impeccable, atmosphere was cozy, and a very enjoyable experience. It is a small place which only adds to the intimacy of service and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy who is very knowledgeable in all his dishes and wines which were incredible as well! We love C'est Si Bon and will continue to come here everytime we want to celebrate something at a special place!”
“Probably my favorite sushi spot so far in Portland. Lovely service! I got the Poke Don and partner got the Salmon Special, both were delicious and big portions! Definitely more of a home style mom n’ pop rather than most of the “fancier” spots in the city.”
“I’ve now been twice and the food has been excellent both times. The calamari was a highlight for me this trip. My server has been great both times as well. And every thing is very reasonably priced. Will definitely return for a third time!”
“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.”
“You cannot say anything bad about please place, sorry. They are one of the best kept secrets in Portland.”
“We had an amazing experience here for our wedding dinner we had almost 30 people in the main room. Everything from the service, food, drinks and preparation was stress free. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great for any occasion. PERFECTION..!!!”
“Nicholas’ did a fabulous job providing food for an event I am at. Everything was wonderful!”
“I love their food my favorite dish is the prawn sautée with seasoned vegetables yummy great service”
“We had a phenomenal time for my birthday at Xiao Ye. The ambience felt like we were the only ones dining there. We had several dishes all which were good! Their mole ribs are delicious. Their madeline’s with jalapeño cream made us not want to leave. Their roasted cabbage was a whole entree but worth trying. Make sure you try their gelatos after. The melon once tastes like a better Melona bar.
Wheelchair accessibility: I called to adjust our table for my mother who is on a wheelchair.”
“Sincerely impressed, I will recommend to anyone visiting”
“Had a very special time with our group of five. Adam made the whole experience easy and fun!”
“Very nice and toasty heated outdoor seating, colorful and flavorful food, friendly staff.”
“Akadi PDX was a WHOLE VIBE!!🤩 The service, atmosphere, food and drinks were AMAZING! Our Family felt at home breaking bread together! Thank you, Akadi PDX!!!🤗”
“My partner and I went for dinner previously and had the vegan potato gnocchi and tofu sausage. We loved it so much we came back for breakfast! I would suggest the curried tofu scramble and apple fritters. Everything is homemade, including the sauces.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Appetizers are good but our steaks were way overcooked and took 30 minutes to resolve issues”
“This restaurant is like Halloween year-round! A themed restaurant that was definitely worth a visit. Completely decorated to give a spooky feeling. Complimentary themed food menu. Fun cocktails that smoke. Make sure you take a trip to the bathroom to experience the basement. Unfortunately, while our server was extremely friendly, he was also extremely talkative and our meal took a very long time as did getting the bill.”
“Fantastic German experience. Setting and decor are fun. Great view of the St John’s bridge from the deck. If you want German beer and sausages this is one of three of the best spots in Portland. Oh and there are some vegetarian choices thats are awesome.”
“Excellent food and service! A fun pre-Timbers match vibe and the place was hopping!”
“The food at Mestizo is fantastic. Great customer service, creative drinks, and as a bonus, everything is gluten and soy free.”
“ah I finally figured out how to do a review. loved this place. Great entertainment with mystery and comedy. Good food, and great interactions with staff and other dinner goers. 5 starts for me and I will def be back.”
“As soon as you walk up to this location, you instantly smell the most delicious aroma! The outdoor and indoor space is gorgeous and the cocktail side is equally as cool! With a record player DJ booth... I mean, it doesn't get any better! If you want to try the most delectable menu items, I would suggest Fried chicken, mushroom noodles, tea leaf salad, pork ribs, mango chile margarita, the big dumpling and literally everything else on the menu! This is a Portland cuisine treasure! You and your family will not be disappointed.”
“My husband and I ate at Palomar Recently and really enjoyed the ambiance The service and the food. We will make it a point to go again soon and I really look forward to it.”
“I can't stop thinking about the celery salad and the warm olives”
“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!”
“Went here for dinner with the family and it was wonderful! Great margaritas, service, and food ❤️ What a gem this place is! Thank you so much for a great experience, we will definitely be back.”
“what a lovely find in Portland! great pourover and fantastic breakfast!!”
“Wholesome food, friendly service, tidy and relaxed atmosphere. Expensive for what you get.
I had the souvlaki sticks.
. These were good, but pretty basic. If you want a variety of grilled veggies that have no frills, this is for you. There's not much for additional flavor. All of it was good, just not great: broccoli, cauliflower, a couple black olives, brussel sprouts, one jalapeno, one potato, pickled onions (my favorite!). For the price, I think the portion size should be quite a bit bigger.
. This was excellent. Rich in flavor. Cooked perfectly. Paired well with the pickled onions from the veggie skewer, and also with the purple cabbage that it comes with. Again, I think this is expensive for the portion size.
These two things together were not enough of a meal for a hungry guy.”
“If you’re a sushi lover like me, this place is a must-visit! I can’t get enough of it, haha. And let me tell you, their salmon is absolutely incredible. Every salmon I ordered was super fresh and flavorful. I even got 5pairs of nigiri to take home for my kids, and they devoured it in no time!”
“AMAZING to say the least. The atmosphere, the staff, the food and the music were perfect ✨ I will definitely be back”
“This is a great place where to relax and savor some great Italian pasta! The owner is welcoming and a great host, the whole server team is amazing and kind. You should try the focaccia, it's a rare find by itself!”
“I had a memorable dinner at Higgins Restaurant. I ordered their Oregon Mushroom Set Menu, and each dish reflected their respect for local ingredients. The wild mushroom bisque was particularly delicious, with a smooth texture and rich aroma. The waiter was very professional and attentive, explaining the background of each dish. The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere was perfect for a leisurely meal with friends or family.”

“Food! Service! Atmosphere! And Feeling the immediate homey comfort by staff and customers, was just what two weary travelers needed. Met our niece there for breakfast and totally a joy of a cross country trip. Have been in many places across the U S A; and this one is one of major memorable treats. BTW my niece talked me into to trying your Fabulous (Homemade) Green Monster Sauce on my egg omelette and I havent stopped talking or looking for a duplicate since visiting Portland and I live in Ohio! If any one is reading this as a world traveler, believe me when I tell you If you live, or travel in this area, you gotta treat yourself to one of their fabulous stomach filing delicious entries. Really!. Bravo, I never write any kind of reviews in the possitive, I'm old, so I bitch alot. HAHA; But this place so worth the time, the price and contributing to a small family business. Which I totlally look for in any area I visit. I totally believe in supporting family owned local businesses...not the big Guys! Bravo Midpoint. If I lived in the area you'd know me by name as a regular! God Bless. And hope this will inspire the owner into marketing her Green Monster Sauce. One of the best out there.

“Shelby was lovely as well as wonderful in providing the best customer experience the entire evening to our group of out of towners as we have attended al the bars up and down the strip. Shelby is rare in your line of business and should be highly praised as an employee!”
“I have read some of the trashy comments in the 1 and 2 star reviews. Most of the lambasting comments I find fault. Are they as fresh as Mizumi in Tigard, probably not, but neither are 99% of the restaurants in Portland metro. I find the seasoning quite authentic. I find the food variety unmatched in Portland. I would love some of their recipes! The ***clown that faulted them for selling produce and other fare near the check out, obviously have never been to a Chinatown or to China. The trolling is totally uncalled for. This is a nice, appearing to be, a family operation with love and care put into the restaurant. We frequent this location and do not find any of those horrible comments to have any truth.”
“This restaurant has been our family's favorite sushi restaurant for about six years now. The sushi rice is delicious, and the yellowtail, tuna, and salmon (made by sushi chef Noriyukiーsan) are all very tasty, reasonably priced, and there are plenty of vegan options for our vegan friends. It's a fun place where even small children will enjoy eating the sushi delivered by train. And the manager Mike's attentive customer service puts us at ease. It's a bit far from where we live, but when someone in our family suggests going to Sushi Ichiban, everyone is smiling and full of happiness. It's a restaurant we'd like to visit again and again in the future.”
“I've. eaten all over Southeast Asia including street amrt I've eaten at many Southeast Asian restaurants, including in Cambodia, Malaysia and Laos, and can unequivocally say this is one of the best meals I've ever had. Starters to dessert, the food was unique, inspired and full of multiple flavors. Bravo and five stars!”
“I was introduced to Bridge City a couple months ago by a friend who raved about their menu variety, quality of food, and the service. Walking into the restaurant was much more appealing than I had imagined. Meaning that it's a good balance of sports bar and family restaurant. Natural light from the north, west, and east windows enhances the vibe; and the interior isn't plastered by sports memorabilia. I also appreciate that I didn't have to raise my voice to talk over the media volume. The staff are friendly, attentive, relaxed, and welcoming. Most of all, the menu offers a long variety of fabulous options. Something for everyone. The first visit, I was blown away by their Californian Grilled Chicken Sandwich. (My eyeballs rolled back in my head as I savored the in credible flavors.) The second visit, I had the Strawberry Chicken Salad: a generous portion that I happily polished in entirety...down to the last tiny piece of candied walnut. Their alcoholic beverage menu offers a long list of specially selected NW brews, craftt ciders, and more. The prices are very reasonable for the exceptional quality, creativity, and service that blows away other restaurants in the sports bar/family restaurant category in the area. I am looking forward to trying their brunch menu to celebrate my upcoming birthday. I'd love to see the property owner spruce up the exterior's landscaping and a bit of a facelift to attract attention and draw in more customers. So, get y'er buns in there and give Bridge City a try! You'll be very happy that you did.”
“Loved the variety. Great sushi selection. Free drinks. You don’t see that anymore. Your used dishes are quickly removed. When in Portland this is our choice. We tried the Chinese Super Buffet but the majority of the food was Luke warm. Give this a try. You won’t be disappointed.”
“I know, nobody is perfect BUT our experience was perfect in every way. From our greeting at the bar as we arrived to our exit. The burger and fries were perfect as was the beer on tap. If we had not stopped at another place earlier for Burger Week, we would have stayed longer and drank more. Sad Valley is our new favorite place in the neighborhood. Such an original & creative theme for a bar. Love the decor, the original art is spot on. You either get it or you don't. Sadly I did not have a fabulous cocktail, but looking forward to it on my return.”

“😍 delicious at best !!!”
“One of the best brunch spots in Portland. Everything is high quality, and they even have delicious mocktails! The seasonal veggie hash was a clear winner for us. The fried chicken was so juicy and tender. Highly recommend- come early because it’s crowded and there’s always a line!!”
“I got airsickness post a long flight, so sick even water was hard for me for a while. This place's Phó Ga (chicken) is literally medicine for the soul, stomach and tastebuds. I cannot recommend them highly enough! p.s. uber eats does 50% off deals sometimes and you can get 2 "orders" (almost 4 meals worth) of phó delivered for under $40 including tip if youre on the vicinity and the quality is unparalleled to places I've been to in NY.”
“This is an efficient table reservation platform that includes reminder features. I received excellent service, with a variety of seating options available. They even took the time to read the notes I included when making the reservation and acknowledged the friend I brought along. 😊 Additionally, there is a section on their name tags that highlights the regions where the servers were born, which serves as a cute conversation starter and is a nice way to recognize everyone. 🥰 I would highly recommend this platform—definitely a 12/10!”
“Our server, Diamond, was hands down the best I’ve encountered in a long time! She went above and beyond in every way — attentive, friendly, and genuinely happy to be there. Her positive energy was contagious, and she made our experience truly memorable. Service like hers is rare and so appreciated!
Now, on to the food — we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. The restaurant offers two menus: a traditional steakhouse à la carte menu and a regular bar menu with burgers and more casual options. It’s the best of both worlds, and everything we tried was excellent.”
“Food was exception but it took us a tad longer than expected to be seated and the noise levels were through the roof where yelling was needed to hold a conversation. Service was solid as well. If looking for something intimate, you may need to consider someplace else but understand, the food & drink was 10/10!”

“Came here to celebrate my friends recent promotion. Place is very cozy and eclectic in a great way. Lovely wine selection, plenty of options without being overwhelming. Champagne list was great and reasonably priced. Staff was lovely. Very friendly and welcoming.Kept our champagne chilled for us and made sure our glasses were never empty. Will definitely be back!”
“where to start, we are big good truck goers. A family of 5. makes it great when everyone can get what they want. This place is beautiful, they had a handful of trucks (more coming) but the options were definitely a mix. Something for everyone for sure. The Cuban food truck is a 10/10 highly recommend! The Cuban sandwich was the best sandwich ive had in a long time. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. My husband and kids had burgers, corn dogs, and chicken strips. The burgers were huge. super great flavor, (adding lamb burgers to the menu soon) super excited to come back to try those. Lets talk drinks, I like a good spicy cocktail, however most "full bars" offer Tabasco to spice up my drink. I hate that. I prefer a spicy tequila or a muddled jalepeno. This place has bitters. This was hands down the best spicy margarita (the house margarita with spicy bitters) that I have had since I've been out here. They have have a changing station in the bathroom. a pinball room, and a kids toys section. For families like us, little kids, picky eater, the FULL bar. This is by far the best food truck place we have went to.”
“We came by here for their soft opening to see what options they had for drinks. The interior was spacious and it looks like they will be adding more to fill it up. We ordered the pandan vanilla matcha and yuzu honey foam matcha. Both were iced drinks. I was very surprised at how good the pandan vanilla matcha tasted. It was the perfect blend of flavors and was not too sweet at all. Both drinks were well made, but I really did enjoy the pandan vanilla matcha and can't wait to try it again.”
“Had a wonderful meal, sampling several dishes- the chicken, the filled pasta, and the lamb lasagna. Magnificent! Extensive bottled wine selection along with a very attentive and friendly staff in a warm, welcoming atmosphere means we will be back again and again. Oh - and the focaccia bread? Trust me, get two orders!”
“Lilia is an absolute gem and my new favorite Portland restaurant. The menu changes weekly based on the freshest ingredients, and every dish bursts with bold flavors and inspiration from across Mexico. The vibe is chill and the staff are sweet and knowledgeable. Music was great (rock en español) and not too loud, so you could have a conversation at your table without yelling (yay!)
We tried the chef’s tasting menu, which included two appetizers (PNW oysters and tomato/melon salad, two large plates (mushroom barbacoa & cheese-filled corn dish and king salmon which was caught that morning) and two desserts (fig pastie and a creamy Asian pear). We also got the carnitas chilaquiles separately—highly recommend. Each dish was beautifully prepared, incredibly tasty, and unforgettable. The wine pairing ($68 per person) was thoughtfully curated and well worth it, and the cocktails were just as impressive.
Can’t wait to go back!!!!”
