kann
“Kann is amazing! We loved the twice-cooked pork. The plantains were big, round, and crispy. The pork was nice and soft. I enjoyed having it with the avocado and the pickled veggies (pikliz).The chicken was delicious, and it was soft and easy to consume.Our dessert was delicious, too!We will be coming back.Vegetarian options: Kann has a vegan menu.”
“Innovative French cuisine in the style of Le Pigeon.Le Pigeon presents adventurous French-inspired cuisine, characterized by its unique creativity and originality. Enjoy a diverse selection of wines in the intimate setting of its East Burnside Street location in Portland.Their Chef's Tasting Menu promises a complete journey with nine courses, starting from amuse-bouche to petits fours.The dishes are visually appealing, almost like paintings on plates!I was impressed by the friendly and excellent full service, as well as the quality and flavors of the dishes.”
“Han Oak comes with high praise and I had really high expectations about dinner.Banchan - the OTA beancurd dish was great, simply because the beancurd was just outstanding. Tastes like a creamy soy burrata - just makes me wanna go to OTA tomorrow! Appreciate that they did a simple chilli-vinegar dressing on it. Just let the star ingredient shine!The kimchi was a little underwhelming. Not much balance of heat, salt and acid… just alot of acid. I wonder if it would fare better with longer fermentation.The corned beef soo yuk is awesome - I can see the chef’s brilliance here. Great interpretation of a traditional dish. The thinly sliced fatty beef goes great with sliced veg. Great texture and flavour. The yuzu packs a punch and makes the corned beef work so well here… while not overwhelming the broth, which is just awesome - save it so you can have it with the rice later. This dish is 5star!Perhaps the gimbap is just not a dish that allows the chef to show his/her finesse and skill. Beef and pork were cooked and seasoned nicely tho the rest of the ingredients basically needed no cooking - a basic pickle, saute or served fresh.Personally, I feel a gimbap tastes way better in a roll cos the mouthfeel of a well packed roll - when you bite into the various flavours and the texture/ crunch just bursts in your mouth - is simply lost when deconstructed.Bingsu - it’s pretty standard fare tho here’s a suggestion… this would be way better if the pineapple and mango toppings were on top - as they usually are. Not hidden at the bottom.I thk it was gojucharu sprinkled on top - that does nothing for bingsu on its own. Well… maybe if there was more condensed milk, that could work. But chilli powder on ice? Hmm.Tho when you dig down to the fruity flavours at the bottom, then you can tell why the combi works. A clever twist on mango with spice but lost in the order of presentation.Tip - dig in quickly without toppling the bingu mountain! Small tweak that would hugely improve the experience.Maybe the chef was trying to turn the bingsu on its head creatively.. but I thk the usual way fares better.Good service with chirpy staff. May come back when they have a different menu and would recommend you to consider that.”

“A+ service and food. I love how they've developed such a creative spin on classic tapa style dishes. Nothing came out as expected but it was very delicious. They had great wine recommendations and a nice atmosphere.”
“This is my favorite restraunt in the city. I've been twice, and my only regret the first time was not odering more food. I went for Valentines Day this year, and the steak was so good I laughed when I first tasted it. It truly is unbelievable the kinds of flavors they coax out of the food. Everything here is quality. The service, the drink selection, the cocktails, the atmosphere, and of course the steak. I will be back.”
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.”
“I enjoyed the two egg and kielbasa combo, with a Mexican hot chocolate. It was all delicious, and they were willing to let me substitute breads with a fruit salad, which I greatly appreciated! It’s a cozy place, and can get a bit loud when crowded, but otherwise, a lovely place for a late morning breakfast.”
“First time here and all I can say is the food was great and the service was awesome. Parking is okay but other than that everyone was great. I will come back again.”

“Just had one of the best experiences of my life at Lilia. Do yourself a favor and do NOT miss the tasting menu, which rotates weekly. It was an incredible value, and more importantly there was not one single disappointing dish in the 8-course lineup. Some stand outs were the amberjack crudo in aguachile: the fish was incredible and cut so pretty, and the aguachile was just the brightest and tastiest i’ve ever had. The quesadilla with huitlacoche, sprouting broccoli and marinated radish: never having tried huitlacoche I was shocked at how decadent and rich it tasted… every flavor in the dish worked like magic with the others. The pork collar: as soon as I touched a piece of the pork collar confit it fell apart under my fork, cooked to perfection. Like the carnitas of your dreams. And the chocolate & salted hazelnut tart with kumquats: probably the most interesting combinations of flavors and textures in any dessert I’ve tried… the kind of experience that’s just delightful every time you take another bite. Every dish was just a surprising explosion of flavors and beauty. This is exciting food. Absolutely no letdowns with the service (every staff member was enthusiastic and knowledgeable) and the ambience as well, but the food is truly mind-blowing.Vegetarian options: Every ingredient is treated like the star in these dishes, which means the vegetarian dishes were a burst of flavor, spice and texture. I had the roasted fennel with fennel harissa and the white asparagus with salsa pipián, pickled rhubarb and morel mushrooms and both were just excellent.”
“Kann is amazing! We loved the twice-cooked pork. The plantains were big, round, and crispy. The pork was nice and soft. I enjoyed having it with the avocado and the pickled veggies (pikliz).The chicken was delicious, and it was soft and easy to consume.Our dessert was delicious, too!We will be coming back.Vegetarian options: Kann has a vegan menu.”
“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.”
“Come here for the happy hour and stay for all the foods on the menu. Smoked mussel dish was to die for, Oysters are naturally delicious but the sauces here are amazing especially that green fish sauce, I’d bottle that and sell that immediately! Server was amazing and wish I knew their name so I can shout them out. I didn’t order it but $90 for a tasting per person is just too inexpensive for that quality and amazingly tasty dishes. Just want another shout out for the mussel dish on there March 18th menu. Dish will always be in my mind.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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).”
“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 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 had such a lovely Chicken Tagine at the Kasbah Moroccan Cafe today. The owner/chef was personable and the restaurant was clean with a nice atmosphere. The mint tea was wonderful, too, and I loved the whimsical tea-cozy felt. I'll definitely come back next time I'm visiting Portland!”
“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.”

“I was SO excited to visit this place with my best friend who lives out of town. We finally made it there and it is even better than I imagined! It is whimsical and colorful and a pure delight to children and inner children alike! Delicious coffee and snacks and super chill staff (and great pricing to boot!) The scavenger hunt is such a fun idea and such a smart way to bring well-deserved attention to Mike's spectacular artwork! The quality and quantity of his art is incredibly impressive and a true labor of love. We even got to chat with the artist and he was so humble, so sweet and so friendly! Cannot recommend this place highly enough!”
“We always go to this Screen Door when we are in Portland. The staff are always a delight and this trip was no exception. Davi was charming and friendly and attentive, and all the staff were working hard (always so busy!) There was a teeny, tiny glitch with our order taking a while (we weren't concerned but the staff were so distraught that their efficient system had gone awry, lol!) We appreciated their gesture of discounting our ticket, but didn't think it was necessary. We were having such a good time with Davi and all the staff that the time passed quickly. The food was fantastic (always get the praline bacon!), the people watching superb, and the service stellar. We will be back again (and again and again!)”
Online Reservation Available
“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!”
“Some pretty great beers. Unfortunately sometimes what you most want to try is only available in the fridge and we were told you can't consume it there so plan accordingly.The poblano pepper mushroom taco is a great veggie option; at least for this meat eater wanting a small break from meat dishes it hit the spot.Vegetarian options: Poblano mushroom taco”
“A unique touch on Mexican which tasted fantastic. First time eating out dinner in Portland and no regrets.The service was amazing and the waiters knew the menu very well. Definitely a place worthy of booking!We ordered the full menu and every dish was very well plated. The chicken and the birria were the highlights for me but worthy of trying the entire menu!”
“Delicious food but they automatically tip themselves 20%. Just keep in mind when ordering that everything is actually 20% more expensive than what is stated on the menu.”
“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.”
“Multnomah Village is blessed with a number of excellent eateries, but Yalla has to be at the top of the list. Mediterranean influenced but really inventive menu and a tapas or easy sharing format. Great bar as well.”
“A+ service and food. I love how they've developed such a creative spin on classic tapa style dishes. Nothing came out as expected but it was very delicious. They had great wine recommendations and a nice atmosphere.”
“Delicious from start to finish and wonderful, welcoming service. Dungeness crab miso, chawanmushi, and scallops to start followed by amazingly flavorful nigiri and rolls.”
“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!”
“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.”
“The basil ice cream dessert was to die for! As was everything else we ate. Inventive and exciting can only begin to describe our experience here. From all the beautiful natural lighting, to a bathroom amusingly decorated with bottles, to a wine list that made me giggle, this place earned a permanent spot on my must eat list for all my visiting friends.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“I love this place. It's really low key, the food is always great. It's a good atmosphere, video poker until really late! They're open 24 hours which is really nice, breakfast all day :-) pretty low key :-)”
“Both Tik Toks hold a special place in my heart for different reason! This location cranks out food super quick any time you order! Love the staff all around!!Cassi was one of the best servers I've ever had! Keep it up!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“I got a chicken asado burrito with sour cream. I ordered it to go and it only took a few minutes to make. It was really good! It’s nice to have a late night food option other than Taco Bell and this burrito was actually good and tasted like real 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.”
“They made my online order perfect, I didnt want to have to worry about breakfast or lunch due to a new course im having to take, and I'm really happy to have exactly what I need for that. Thanks guys ❤️”
“Disheartening to look outside and watch two folks smoking on their Crack pipe. Right out the window where I was sitting next to.But the manager took care of the situation quickly. He gets a 10!! Thank you sir.”
“My night shifts at Amazon mean eating out at odd hours. Thankfully, Jamie at Carl's Jr. on 8205 SE Rhine St, Portland, OR, has been a game-changer. She nails our orders every time, even with my wife's custom requests. Fast, friendly, and always spot-on, Jamie's service makes our unusual mealtime a highlight. Big thanks to Jamie for making late-night dining so much better.”
“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.”
“Cinnamon fresh toast is so good! And the pies are great to go! Good coffee and teaLove this place. It usually isn't busy. Pretty quiet. Great for breakfast late at ”
“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.”
“Our awesome tatted barista was the best part of going to Starbucks. She was fantastic. I don't understand how the supposed pinnacle of customizable coffee has ONE sugar free option. Dutch Bros will always be the clear winner.Dietary restrictions: If you're keto or diabetic, stick with Dutch Bros. Starbucks isn't it.”
“Subway's 24/7 availability and commitment to freshness make it an absolute gem! Whether it's the crack of dawn or midnight, their sandwiches are consistently delicious. I'm always impressed by the quality of their ingredients, from crisp veggies to savory meats. Plus, their customizable options cater perfectly to my taste preferences. The staff is friendly and efficient, ensuring quick service even during busy hours. Whether I'm grabbing a bite on the way to work or satisfying a late-night hunger pang, Subway is my top choice. Their dedication to freshness sets them apart, and I can always count on a satisfying meal. With convenient locations and a menu that never disappoints, Subway earns a solid five stars from me. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious, wholesome sandwiches around the clock!Parking: Front of the restaurant.”
“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.”

Kachka
“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.”
“This neighborhood gem is always a pleasure to visit. The food was well prepared and delicious! There are plenty of options for vegetarians as well as omnivores. The portions are very generous. We love the ambiance and wonderful art. The servers are attentive, friendly and efficient. This is a favorite place to take friends and out of town guests.”
Takeout Restaurants
“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!!!”
“Everything we had here (shahi, kik alicha, gomen, timtimo, atakilti, the cocktails, the lentil sambusa, and especially the shiro) was delicious; the service was perfect, and the space was relaxing.”
“This place is just fun. Even on a busy summer evening with lines out the door the staff proactively engage people still in line and expedite those who know what they want while the curious sample the offerings. Good selection of vegan options, and no skimping on the variety. Seasonal items are creative and fun!”
“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.”
“First time here and all I can say is the food was great and the service was awesome. Parking is okay but other than that everyone was great. I will come back again.”
“Wood fired deliciousness - the classics are fantastic but don’t miss out on their unique combos! The Ranger is amazing. Whatever route you go, count on fabulous flavors on top of arguably perfect crust. Get a whole pie and be thankful to yourself for the leftovers! You can also get a beverage from Bye and Bye while you’re enjoying your pie!Parking: If it’s a weekend avoid Alberta and park on a nearby side street”
“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.”
“Honestly some of the best pizza I have ever had. I really like the thick Detroit style with the slightly crunchy cheese at the edges. And the sauce was great as well. I had the cheese burger pizza, and it had just the right amount of heat.”
“Literally PERFECT. One weekend I had it for dinner three days in a row and still wanted it again on the fourth day.Sometimes if we aren’t hungry we’ll just come in for drinks to go! So much wonderful flavor and so refreshing. Love everything about Norah!!Dietary restrictions: All vegan!!”
“The food was excellent :)It just became our favorite place on campus!+) My husband had Tomyum salmon, and I had Aburi salmon donKid-friendliness: They didn't have a highchair”
“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!”
“It was an amazing experience! The owner was very exuberant warm and easy going and just a good vibe! It’s extremely exciting to find places that are vegan and not overly priced and just cauliflower. I highly recommend this ”
“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.”
“This is the best Thai food in Portland. Short rib and payaya salad combo is literally the best/tastiest/best value 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 -Anurit and Paul are the best! This is my wife's favorite meal and place to eat!”

Yalla
“Multnomah Village is blessed with a number of excellent eateries, but Yalla has to be at the top of the list. Mediterranean influenced but really inventive menu and a tapas or easy sharing format. Great bar as well.”
“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.”
“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!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“If you are looking for excellent food and outstanding service, Mother’s is the place to go. I was visiting Portland this weekend and enjoyed the breakfast on Saturday so much that we went back before my flight home today (Sunday). Yesterday, Nick managed tricky orders with our larger group really well and was super friendly. Today, Emily went out of her way to provide excellent service and spread sunshine and kindness. On the food front, the French toast coated in corn flakes was delicious, and the cooks did a great job making crispy bacon that was not burnt. The friend I was visiting loved the tofu dish he had yesterday and also really enjoyed his oatmeal and bananas today. Our other friends were also very happy with their dishes yesterday….The place has a great vibe. I look forward to heading to Mother’s again on my next trip to Portland!”
“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!!”
“Super yummy drinks with lots of dairy free options. Staff are always friendly. If the dining room is open it’s a cozy place to hang out, and nice to have the drive thru option as well. A gem in the neighborhood!Dietary restrictions: Vegan options for boba drinks”
“This is a great spot - good coffee, really nice staff. Whole place is clean and relaxed.Except - for some reason whoever is in charge of the music LOVES middle school dance hits. I’m at a coffee shop trying to read, I don’t want to listen to sandstorm. Eiffel 65 just doesn’t hit the same when im trying to study.”
“I stopped by here a few times during my weeklong stay in Beaverton. Every visit I ordered I different drink, and every drink I ordered was excellent! Whether it was coffee, Lotus energy or a chai, it was always delicious. My favorite was a winter special, the White Icicle Lotus (white chocolate, blue raspberry with blue lotus). It was incredibly sweet, but that’s just what I wanted that afternoon. I also loved their Build-Your-Own Breakfast Sandwiches. The possibilities were endless, and I especially appreciated them having Sriracha! They’re popular - I was never the only customer and each visit was at least 7-10 minutes, but it was worth it every time. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“They have a drive-through. It's pretty good and big portions. Took the kids there, and they were very happy. Outdoor seating had no heaters, but it was fast and delicious. I like the mixed pork/beef dog. My nefew is newly vegetarian and he was really happy with the chili dog.”
“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.”
“Going to be coming here every time we are in or passing through Portland. The food is some of the best we have had, the atmosphere is so welcoming and comforting. Absolutely love this place! Sammy is such a great host!”
“Denise and Elizabeth have amazing customer care. They were dealing with a processing server error (that had been occurring all day) and they explained exactly what was happening and handled us and the line exceptionally. For something that was completely out of their control, in a busy airport location, they handled themselves great!”
“Amazing coffee even better service. I've been going for about a month or so. I'm super happy to have found a local coffee stand. Kind of has the cheers vibe for me now lol”

“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.”

Casa Zoraya
“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!”

Quaintrelle
“My friend and I stopped in Quaintrelle for a drink without reservations. We were warmly welcomed by everyone we encountered. Aaron our server at the most adorable bar was informative, friendly and an absute drink making ninja! We enjoyed on of the best dishes I've Ever had the Hamachi. We are coming back to try the tasting menu. I highly recommend this exquisite gem. Everyone who works there made us feel at home. I will be back and bring anyone and everyone!!”

“The food was so amazing! Creative dishes using fresh local Spring delights. My friend and I tried four different dishes and all were unparalleled. The wine selections were equally as wonderful. The service was also just perfect! Attentive and not intrusive. It was not inexpensive though!”
“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.”
“This place is always 100 percent spot on. The service, food and staff are top notch. If you have ever seen the show “The best thing I ever ate”, this restaurants Cesar salad is 100%. The best one I have ever eaten. If you want a perfect dining experience, I strongly suggest the rack of lamb(medium rare)and Cesar salad. Perfection.”
“Easter fell on my birthday this year and like every year, I have my Center Cut NY with a beautiful Cabernet from a Grand Wine list, Cocktail list is not to be missed, and dessert, a big slice of Cheesecake..Forgetaboutit! excellence is the bar they set, Everytime! cheers”
“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!”
“A lovely restaurant offering delicious dishes and captivating storytelling + explanation. I appreciate how this ethnic-based establishment embodies cultural depth through its soulful cuisine. I was very ignorant about Mexican cuisine and feel like I learned so much through this dinner. Oh their desserts were incredibly tasty with full of different textures and flavors.Despite minor hiccups, the majority of their services were commendable. Upon booking the chef's counter, I anticipated a typical counter dining experience, but it was more like tables closer to the kitchen with a view, which I liked it more than what I imagined as a counter seating.”
“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!”
“Found this food cart by accident. Had fried chicken wings that were crispy and flavorful! Best greens and green beans ever! I don't usually like potato salads made by others but their's is sooo good! It has just a little kick and it is not too saucy. Love that it is a small local busineFood was so good came back the next night. They do ribs and beans on Saturdays. Beans like I never had! Ribs are delicious! Definitely try them!!!!!!”
“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.”
“I've been in Portland for 10 years, and Coquine has been on my radar for a while now. I was so excited when my friend made reservations (about a month in advance). I absolutely love the location near Mt. Tabor. It's really special, sitting there on its own with the market right next to it. I parked right in front of the restaurant. We were seated next to the window, and it ambience was lovely. I think you can get away wearing what you want, but dressing up is 100% appropriate. Food is clean, beautiful, and simple in a good way. We started with the trout roe and bread, and that was great. It was a fun, enjoyable start - you make your toast by putting your own toppings on. I got the 1/2 chicken, and thought it was cooked perfectly. I also got about 2 full meals out of it, so I'd say pricing was good. I loved when the server poured the carrot soup into my friend's bowl at the table. Shout out to the bus boy who folded my napkin and sat it down next to me as I came back from the bathroom. Clearly everyone pays close attention to what is going on. This is a Portland must. I'd say it pretty much embraces Portland dining at it's best.”
“Jack and Amir were amazing hosts. The wine was fantastic (and so reasonably priced.) I'm so thankful they had a bar I could squeeze in since it was Valentines Day.”
“Totally caught me surprise, amazing authentic tacos, the Pastor has actual flavor and they balance very well. Quick service, bilingual staff that treat everyone the same. Highly recommend.”
“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 ”

“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.”

Cheap Eats
“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.”
“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 ”
“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.”
“Enjoyed Mama's at Oregon City cart pod. Super flavorful Tacu Tacu! Juicy, not oily, tender nicely grilled steak and uniquely delicious savory beans. Looking forward to trying more of this menu. Thank you!”
“Shhhh. It's a secret. Too good to share, keep it to yourselves. Don't tell anyone about how incredible the food is or that they mixed drinks are creative and delicious. This is just between you and me. Wink.”
“Great service. Easy parking. I heard the food was great; however, the food was MUCH better than expected. I wish I could rate it 10 start. You will not be disappointed.Parking: Parking was one block away. I paid $4 for 2 hours of parking. Very reasonable. However, if you park at the hotel, you can get free validated parking.”
“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”
“I’ve worked here for a couple months now and it really feels like family. My coworkers always let me know of my mistakes right after or before my shift is over. Working shifts with Kate has been really exciting as I’ve just gotten to learn more about her and she lets me know what I can do better on. I never realized just how many people can’t have dairy and gluten. The people that come in that realize they can try all the flavors and that they’re all vegan they are extremely happy. It’s been really fun working here and my favorite part is making the waffle cones!!”
“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.”
“I ordered a beef brisket chimichanga and chicken quesadilla via Doordash. Both were exceptional. The quesadilla reminded me of one of my favorite New Mexican style restaurants in Denver: Jack-n-Grill. They use high quality cheddar (my personal preference) and chicken. I wish more restaurants understood and appreciated the superiority of quality cheddar. Also, their pico de gallo was top notch.. paired perfectly with the quesadilla. Please keep up the great work.Edit: I'm lowering my score due to service on the second order. They don't provide an option to order pico de gallo. I made a request for more, as 2 tiny cups don't suffice. It was ignored.”
“The injera is amazing. The combo plate has that “eat the rainbow” platter style vibe to it; with the variety of different stewed veggies. The place has a relaxed quaint atmosphere. But most importantly the food is just delicious.”
“Can’t say enough about this place. Being an ex NY guy and Italian.. this is the real deal. So happy this popped up in my neighborhood. Can’t wait to get back on Tuesday to try their Marinara !”
“I got the sausage biscuit and it was amazing. My fiancé got the chicken biscuit and he really enjoyed his. We also got the blueberry French toast and it was perfect, a lot of places can’t get French toast right but they did. Service was also amazing, she always made sure we were good on everything.”
“Incredible Guyanese food omg! So so delectable. Bibi is kind and sweet and gave us the cutest samples to try! The salfish bake was amazing! The daal tasted like home to us! We’re from South Asian and tasting the flavors of home was nostalgic! Can’t wait to be back so many times here! Thank you!!! ??”

“The cocktails are amazing and the atmosphere is out of this world. The service is wonderful and I love the speakeasy feel. Totally feels like a lounge or a club with great lighting and wonderful decor. Definitely something to check out.”

GNARLYS
“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).”
31
Old Pal
“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!”
32
Gumba
“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 ?”
“Some pretty great beers. Unfortunately sometimes what you most want to try is only available in the fridge and we were told you can't consume it there so plan accordingly.The poblano pepper mushroom taco is a great veggie option; at least for this meat eater wanting a small break from meat dishes it hit the spot.Vegetarian options: Poblano mushroom taco”

L’ Orange
“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.”
“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!”

Noodle Point
“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!”
“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!”
“This is a gem of a place. You will absolutely not expect it when you look at the outside. It is fantastic, very peaceful, and with great food and service. Will absolutely return.”

Siam Umami
“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.”
“Everything we had here (shahi, kik alicha, gomen, timtimo, atakilti, the cocktails, the lentil sambusa, and especially the shiro) was delicious; the service was perfect, and the space was relaxing.”
“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.”

Tartuca
“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!”
“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!!”
“It helps to go with someone who's been here before, half the dishes I've tried were incredible and the other half were so-so. For example the bewan bunny dumplings are alright, but the 2nd bunnies listed further down on the menu the "puto pao bunny bao" are where it's at!Other really good items include the Siu Mai dumplings and their amazing krab Rangoons!However I'm not personally a fan of the mapo tofu, its made with soft tofu and a very earthy mapo sauce similar to the flavors of an authentic szechuan restaurant. I've also ordered the Char Siu Bao twice hoping the first time was a fluke, but they are too dry imo and the filling is a little off.Overall this is a 5 star place with a little bit of room for improvement. I'll be back :)”
46
Lechon
“This is always one of my favorite happy hours in the city. The Lechon margarita is one of my favorites and their happy hour food menu has a ton of options. I highly recommend their shrimp ceviche, their burger and their plantain fritters.”
“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).”
“I'm not generally one to write reviews of restaurants unless they hit a high bar. Canard hit that bar and then some. I went with my family for my birthday dinner and every dish was an absolute standout. Additionally, the service was outstanding, cocktails amazing (the digestifs on the menu was a great touch as well ) and a really inviting setting that lets you know you're in a quality restaurant but doesn't feel stuffy. Don't sleep on the steamed burgers too! Will absolutely be returning!”
“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.”
“Salad lamb kebab dinner is a winner each time I come. Flavorful seasoning, grilled to perfection. Alcoholic beverages available , patio outdoor seating in warmer weather. The indoor tabletops are a little junky so it’s unpleasantly to put elbows on it for a conversation on them. Needs a little updating. $38 for two meals without drinks. Very good price point for what you get. It was served with a huge oversized pita bread which is always a hit ?”
“I come yearly for training and tend to find a new place to eat everyday.This place after one visit I knew would be in my future visits. I had based off of prior reviews as a deciding factor for chosing this place.This is my 3rd time coming to Portland and let me say, this is the only restaurant I have decided to visit twice as the food is really that good, especially if you are a seafood person. The ciopinno will not let you down.”
“I went with my family during Happy Hour and the food was delicious.For starters we ordered some ricotta cheese crostinis that were delicious and a "small" salad which was more than enough for 3 people.The pizza was a delight but the best thing was to accompany it with a delicious sangria.I highly recommend this place.”
“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!”

Shalom Y'all
“All I can say is omg, omg, omg so fabulous! The eggplant dip, the hummus the pita the shawarma, OMG. cannot go wrong with anything here and such an incredible team!”
“Phenomenal sushi. And a great price for the quality. Definitely ask about the specials and grab a sake from the drink cart next door. There is an area with lots of tables and chairs so you can eat at the food cart pod area.”

Ramen Ryoma
“Ramen Ryoma in Portland, Oregon, is a haven for ramen enthusiasts and Japanese cuisine lovers alike. Their ramen is a flavorful delight, boasting rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles that satisfy even the most discerning palates. The addition of takoyaki and karaage adds a delightful twist to the dining experience, showcasing the chef's expertise in crafting authentic Japanese dishes. Conveniently located, Ramen Ryoma invites diners to indulge in a culinary journey without straying far from the city center. The friendly staff enhances the overall experience, ensuring each visit is met with warmth and hospitality, making it a must-visit destination for foodies in Portland.”
“We ordered takeout and got two different pizzas to try. Both were amazing. I prefer pizza with red sauce but we didn't miss the sauce at all. The crust is just perfect with a nice crispy outer layer and just the right amount of chewiness that your jaw doesn't get tired. I could taste the mild tanginess of the sourdough that gave the pizza a unique flavor that you don't get from regular dough. They weren't skimpy with their delicious, quality toppings either. I hope I can dine-in next time because these pizzas deserve immediate consumption.”
“Had the best dinner last night. This place is still one of my favorites in Portland. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was all around spectacular!”
59
Lilla
“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.”
60
DAME
“Food was outstanding! We had the carpaccio and crudo to start, carpaccio was the show stopper. Trout and pork for mains, both cooked excellently, and then had the sorbetto and pana Cotta for dessert. The quality of ingredients and flavor/texture combinations were amazing! The service was so-so, told them it was a special occasion in advance but no acknowledgement of that. The server also gave us some awkward guidance when selecting wine, and wasn't super warm or friendly. Tables were pretty close to each other, it felt like we were spilling off a little with two entrees and drinks.Dietary restrictions: Amazing selection of gluten free appetizers and entrees!!”
“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.”
“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.”

“I used to live just outside of Venice and this is some of the most authentic Northern Italian food I've had in the states. We fell in love with the salt cod crostini (cicchetti al baccalà), radicchio salad with fresh oranges and black olives, supplì with a raddichio and gorgonzola filling, handmade pastas, buttermilk panna cotta, risotto tart, and the wine list (!) It's all perfect and the wait staff were attentive, super knowledgeable, and happy to share their love of authentic Italian food! We will be back many times.”
“Had a lovely early dinner here before a show at Moda on a Thursday. Service was prompt, extremely knowledgeable, and everyone was so kind and helpful. I have the palate of a five year old child so I stuck to the basics but the others in my party had much more elaborate selections that they loved! All around delicious and fresh dishes, plus you can balance out your meal with some donuts, right next door ?”

“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 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.”

“Burgers were awesome. Prices were not bad. 8 or so beers on tap. Worth a visit for sure. Note there is a small parking area next to it if you luck out. It looks like a driveway”
“Server was amazing and the food……. The food was out of this world!!!! I had a filet and lobster tail and my date had a ribeye and prawns… my only regret was that I just learned of this place!!! 10/10 highly recommend”
“Easter fell on my birthday this year and like every year, I have my Center Cut NY with a beautiful Cabernet from a Grand Wine list, Cocktail list is not to be missed, and dessert, a big slice of Cheesecake..Forgetaboutit! excellence is the bar they set, Everytime! cheers”
“The lentil soup and sample platters are incredible. Ambiance is really nice. Waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. Awesome food and setting! Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for vegan/gf.”
“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”
“We made a reservation for our party of 4 for brunch and were seated on time. Our server was super friendly and nice. The restaurant was cute. But we would not return here. The breakfasts we ordered were all just ok. My sister had Migas Tart (vegetarian quiche) with potatoes as a side. I ordered random sides as there was no option for someone who is dairy free. My mom ordered mushroom and butternut scramble. The potatoes were over fried and my biscuit was over baked. Nothing special at all about any of the foods we ordered. We were excited to try it and were disappointed. Even if the ambience is good and the server was excellent, if the food isn’t good enough, we don’t return.”
“This is my happy place. I've never had food emotions from pizza before but the mortadella and pistachio pizza made me cry last night. My dying wish is to be cremated in their pizza oven.”

“Its a good place to catch up with friends and your self. Nice atmosphere and delicious drink. My personal favorite is the hot buttered rum but the other drinks are equally ”
“We had a great experience at Toki last night. My daughter and I were in town for a concert and ducked in from the great reviews but they were full for the night which is a great sign for a worthy place. While full for the night, Patrick and Lexi went to work work to create a small space for us as we offered to order take-away but they wanted to get us proper seating. So, hat tip to Patrick and Lexi and the entire service was excellent, and food very tasty and fun to explore with various dishes. No pretention whatsoever, just a hard-working business eager to have patrons be fed well and leave happy. We'll be back for sure!”
“The staff is down to earth, very approachable and caring, the atmosphere is quite inviting and warm, and service is top notch. I recommend checking it out for sure.”

“The basil ice cream dessert was to die for! As was everything else we ate. Inventive and exciting can only begin to describe our experience here. From all the beautiful natural lighting, to a bathroom amusingly decorated with bottles, to a wine list that made me giggle, this place earned a permanent spot on my must eat list for all my visiting friends.”

“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!”
“The restaurant has a very warm and cozy vibe, besides most importantly the food was amazing. I have tried many Lebanese restaurants in city, most of them are good, and Tarboush I would rate as best. I ordered chicken breast which was very flavourful and soft. The rice had perfect texture and wasn’t dry. Also the garlic sauce on the side didn’t have overpowering garlic taste, and didn’t have any aftertaste, it was perfect. I also liked the fact they are open atleast until 9pm unlike others which closes at 8pm.”

“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.”
“We came here a couple hours before closing on 4/3 and sat in the back room. We had come in to celebrate my birthday after leaving a different restaurant that ended up being a nightmare. The Observatory saved the evening! The service and food were fantastic, and our server made excellent recommendations. We ordered the cheese platter to share, I got the strip steak and my fiance had the Mac and cheese with andouille. We are moving to the area soon, and we will definitely become regulars ?”

“I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely this place is. I especially liked the ambiance and the coloring of the restaurant. My friend and I got the tagliatelle with crab and the risotto. Both were so delicious, light and well balanced with all the flavors.”
“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!”

“Really great experience at this restaurant. Food is fantastic and unique. The flavor profile is different than most Indian restaurants. We had Veg Pakora platter, Chicken Skewers and Veg Thali for 2, for drinks we tried the Paloma, Kashmiri Tea and Mango Coconut Lassi. Everything was cooked to perfection, and each dish had its own flavor. Chef/owner was very engaging and attentive to our needs during the meal. Highly highly recommend.”

“Easily the best burger in the metro area. They make a smash burger but like anything in Portland. That is not true. It is an almost smash burger more like a pressed burger does not have the lacey char or anything that makes a good smash burger. Also second best burger in Oregon. Junkyard is better. No this burger does not compare to smash burgers in Los Angeles.”

“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.”

“Everything we had was delicious! Lots of gluten and dairy free options. Enjoyed the chicken satay and the mushroom/brussels the most! The five spice girl drink was good too.Dietary restrictions: They have an allergen menu”
“I had my doubts at first about the ricotta hotcakes with how many flavors they incorporate, but it BLEW MY MIND! definitely recommend this place just based on that alone, but all the other dishes were also stellar - we had the potato hash and the Just Beet It salad.Kid-friendliness: There’s a kids area with toys and books!”

“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.”

“I had the Black Cod curry which was very delicious. My husband had the Guai Thai (don't remember the name), it was also delicious, a good mix of veggies and chicken. Then for appetizers, we had the wings which was phenomenal. Not a lot of breading and I had the tamarind sauce on the side, worked perfect! The little Thai sausages complement the whole dinner. It was an awesome dinner! We'll definitely come back.Only complaint, not a whole lot of parking. You park on the street which can be a hassle.”

“Nice ? service, craving pizza. But overall some topping they don't carry. Spinach, artichoke, my favorite, disappointed ☹️ but nice price made a difference.”
“Good backyard style burger and fries for a good price. General Tso chicken also fire af. Wish they would offer to make some dishes as side option. Such as their Delux Cheese burger with a side of General Tso chicken.”
“Five stars as usual! Thank you for our food! Served fast and hot and always SO much food! We appreciate your business. Sorry for the absolutely rude lady that was in tonight. We've never had a bad experience In all our yrs of getting food. Also best portion of crab puffs in town!”

“Didn't actually eat, but others seem to enjoy and it looked good! It was Karaoke night....... Love the enthusiasm of participants!! Lots of slots, good drinks. I'll go again.”
“The cheese burger was very delicious and the fridge cheese curds apple bbq sauce was very delicious. The Mac and cheese was very cheesy and was topped with a layer of crackers. Service was quite fast (around 5 minutes) and they had a lot of cute merchandise for sale as well.”
“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.”
“I am by no means a Vegan. In fact if there is an afterlife I am sure I will have many many furry faces waiting for me for my crimes of rampant meat consumption. So setting that as the starting off point I eat the vegan bowl here like two or three times a week. This girl is an absolute wok goddess. I have no idea how she manages to cook every single piece of vegetables in her stir frys without ever making a single piece go limp. I have a deep and abiding childhood hatred of cauliflower. It is marrow deep to the point of irrational dislike on my end. Yet when that vile weed appears at random in her stir fry I am not only okay with it, but thoroughly enjoy the dish. Even her rice is several steps ahead of the competition. The curried Garbonzo beans are simply perfect. The fresh diced cucumber and carrot makes the perfect crunchy contrast with the amazing rice and curried legumes. The fresh lime juice makes her dishes flirt with sweetness while still being savory. If your tired of the same old boring grease soaked fries and cheese slathered mediocre slabs of low grade meat check out this cart. The flavors are both well seasoned yet not over powering. She has a chefs touch to be sure. Plus my heart I am sure prefers the fare far more than another artery clogging mass of American failure cuisine.”
“Great people serving AMAZING Mexican Food! We eat there atleast every week, and have tried a lot of food trucks and this one is one of our favs. See for yourself... worth a good try. Great job hugs! Enjoy”
“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.”
“This is my favorite Ethiopian in Portland! Absolutely delicious veggie combo- the juiciest and most flavorful tibs. Green roasted coffee beans and incredible service.”

“This place is AMAZING!!!!!! The service was above and beyond. Each server went above and beyond to answer questions and serve the most AWESOME food. The food was soooo delicious and fresh and flavorful. This was mine and my bfs first time here and we will be going back. Igor and Somara and Dylan and all the staff are simply the best! I ordered a drink I did not like and they were eager to replace it with some thing I did like. Each cut of meat was tender and moist and better than the last. We walked away super full and happy!! Thank you for such a memorable and delicious experience!”
“5 stars for the manager Bryan! He went above and beyond to make sure me and my husband had a great wedding dinner. Thank you so much for doing your best! We appreciate you!”
“I have read good and bad reviews and was leery of going to this restaurant. However, what a great experience!! The food was beyond great, it was fantastic. Service was exemplary. Sonia was our server and was wonderful. The minuses were the music was too loud and I didn't appreciate the servers cleaning the table while we still eating and talking but overall a very great experience. Costly but worth every cent.”
“Food is always top notch! Service has gone downhill since Covid. Be careful, they charge auto gratuity regardless of party size and have increased it from 20% to 22% - recently.Either way, the food is worth it. Just don’t be surprised when the bill comes.”
“Returning home from a week camping in Sisters, OR. Decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner out. Salty's was just a couple miles from our RV park. They fit us in on a Saturday evening. Wonderful dinner, drinks, and the view is fantastic.”
“We popped in for a late lunch on a Sunday. The restaurant was clean and our server was great! We had the seafood platter and a cup of chowder each as well as wine and beer. The chowder was hands down the most delicious I have had ever! It tasted as though it was freshly made to order. The platter was fresh tasting with big fat shrimp and fantastic oysters, we liked the apple mignonette best! We will defiantly be back!”
“My son and his fiance announced their engagement just before dinner. Then dinner came and it was so amazing. The staff knocked everything out of the park. Such an amazing night and experience all around. Thank you for theamazing food, atmosphere and staff”
“A downtown Portland must. It really never fails. Phenomenal spanish coffee, happy hours, and service. Try any of their oysters or Cajun seafood pasta. It has wonderful flavor.”
“My wife and I came here for date night before we Is to the Keller auditorium. The food was amazing and I would order it 10 times over again. Is our waiter was beyond amazing. I had the blackened cod And my wife had Is Pacific oysters pasta.”
“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 ”
“We enjoyed our family dinner. Good food and we were very happy six people could sit at a round table. The plants surrounding the table gave a feeling of privacy in an otherwise open space. My only negative comment is that I felt the wine bottle pricing was on the high side.”
“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;”
“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.”
“It was good! I’ve been here a few times. Unfortunately the city view rooftop areas do get closed out for private events so we can’t get our pictures out there. Friendly staff, great food, elegant place.”

“Amazing food made better by the service. Soups options rotate daily, so check before you go if you are wanting something specific. Otherwise, you won’t be disappointed by any of the options.”
“What a fun dinner! Staff is so friendly, food options are unique and delicious. We loved ordering lots of the small snacks and desserts to share. Would definitely come back!”
“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!)”
“I don’t know where this place has been all my life !! This place is legit , awesome service , clean , comfortable and let’s not forget the sushi is OUTSTANDING !! ❤️ this place.”
“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.”
“This was one of the better meals my husband and I enjoyed while visiting Portland. The walls are covered in Mexican art. There are plenty of tables and a nice bar to sit at. The food was delicious but not gigantic portions. My husband ordered the street tacos from the happy hour menu. The chicken inside the tortilla was as delicious and seasoned perfectly. He also had tortilla chips and salsa which you had to pay for separately. I had the Carnitas plate with beans and a salad- Very tasty and the Carnitas were very moist. The staff wasn't overly friendly but the food made up for it! tried the Cadillac margarita it was a little weak. Feeling like Mexican? Definitely give this place a go.”
“I forgot the name of the drink I got, but it had an energy drink in it, and I also got mini pancakes. Portions are huge and they were both delicious. Got our order in a timely manner and staff were friendly. Don Bigote is located in Portland Mercado. Lots of seating also, and be sure to check out the other food spots here!Parking: Parking lot is limited to a number of cars but people can park on the streets”
“We dined at Bellpine at it was spectacular. The only thing that surpassed the food in excellence was our server David. He was personable and made the experience so fun. We will be back. Thank you David for the stellar service!”
“Went with a girl friend, and we had the BEST time. I felt like we were picked up and dropped off in la la land. Ceviche was delicious as were the drinks - even the mocktails were spot on. Will definitely be back!”
“Came here with a friend and really enjoyed our cocktails and were impressed by the interesting flavors and the atmosphere. (We didn’t order food.) A great first-date place for something a bit more intimate. This is the type of small business that Portland should embrace! Go! It’s well worth it.”
“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.!”
“Hands down best burritos in Portland. No contest. Grew up in the bay area, spent a lot of time in Arizona and Los Angeles. Love our city, but have been unable to find a burrito spot that holds a candle. Prices are totally on point with the quality product they deliver. Pumped to have found this place!!!”
“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!”
“Just had one of the best experiences of my life at Lilia. Do yourself a favor and do NOT miss the tasting menu, which rotates weekly. It was an incredible value, and more importantly there was not one single disappointing dish in the 8-course lineup. Some stand outs were the amberjack crudo in aguachile: the fish was incredible and cut so pretty, and the aguachile was just the brightest and tastiest i’ve ever had. The quesadilla with huitlacoche, sprouting broccoli and marinated radish: never having tried huitlacoche I was shocked at how decadent and rich it tasted… every flavor in the dish worked like magic with the others. The pork collar: as soon as I touched a piece of the pork collar confit it fell apart under my fork, cooked to perfection. Like the carnitas of your dreams. And the chocolate & salted hazelnut tart with kumquats: probably the most interesting combinations of flavors and textures in any dessert I’ve tried… the kind of experience that’s just delightful every time you take another bite. Every dish was just a surprising explosion of flavors and beauty. This is exciting food. Absolutely no letdowns with the service (every staff member was enthusiastic and knowledgeable) and the ambience as well, but the food is truly mind-blowing.Vegetarian options: Every ingredient is treated like the star in these dishes, which means the vegetarian dishes were a burst of flavor, spice and texture. I had the roasted fennel with fennel harissa and the white asparagus with salsa pipián, pickled rhubarb and morel mushrooms and both were just excellent.”
