“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!”
“We sat at the bar and loved the atmosphere… service was superb (thank you Nick) and the food delicious”
“Probably the best pizza in Oregon. I’ve had pizza scholls and this place is just as good or better. It’s also more reliable as far as actually being open. I like pizza scholls but it’s a nightmare to try and plan any pizza or if it’s even open on that day. This a great reliable pizza place that is right up there or better. The parking is a bit terrible cause it closer to inner city and new seasons doesn’t allow outside parking. The full pizzas are smaller so two hungry can share an entire pizza or maybe one really hungry. I will be back I haven’t tried the folded pizza yet.”
“Good vibes, good staff. I'm sort of a lightweight, so I was pretty out of it when we left, but I wish I could tell the two servers that they were the best!! They consistently checked up on us even with the number of people in the room. It was so easy to order more if we wanted to. Thanks, teardrop staff! I probably would've drank more if I had dinner before I went 🥲🎄 Merry christmas
(Get the house of balloons if you're a lightweight, so good, almost like juice)”

“Best Chicken and Beef Shawarma in Oregon”
“I’m writing this review 3 years later because I am still thinking about this meal. Everything was fantastic. We got two specialties, a pizza and a pasta. Pasta was probably the best pasta dish I’ve ever had and I’ve been all over the world. Check this place out. It’s a do not miss.”
“Every time we visit we go to Fishwife restaurant. We haven't had a bad dish. Highly recommend”
“Went with a group of 5 people before the theater and had a great experience. We shared plates and it was all delicious, from the grilled calamari to the spanakopita to the moussaka and baklava. The service was also amazing, everyone was friendly and informative. The atmosphere was both special and comfortable. Highly recommend!!!”
“Really tasty brunch at a reasonable price. -1 star for the jalapeño poppers which weren't to my or my friend's taste but still, overall I think it was in the top three dive bar brunches I've had in Portland. Also points for the vegan breakfast scramble (can't recall the exact name on the menu); I was not expecting to have that option much less have it done well, but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely will be going back.”
“Coffee is AMAZING! You can tell how excited the barista was that we loved the coffee as well. Definitely coming back for the atmosphere and Dulce de Leche coffee”
“Great service , amazing staff. Pizza the best in Portland”
“If I lived in Portland I'd come here regularly. The beer was amazing and Jason was awesome to talk to. It was really cool experiencing a nano brewery and trying some awesome beers made by someone who loves beer. The hazy IPA I had was amazing and I'm definitely going to miss it.”
“My son and I ate dinner here on Tuesday evening, 10-01-24. The male waiter was unimpressive, and asked the young lady behind the bar to take us. I was freshly out of surgery and needed to eat something. She quickly moved us to a padded booth when I asked. She was very prompt and very courteous. An absolute sweetheart. She was professional with our orders and accommodating to our particular requests, mine especially, given the circumstances. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the rosemary chicken and a bland salad with cucumbers. The salad tasted fresh. The chicken was perfect. I would give 5 stars, but some of the other patrons seemed judgmental, and I was displeased with the young man who seemed offended by the couple of rural folks in the big city.”
“all I can think saying is it’s delicious every spoonful come out and have some …delicious I promise”
“Bar staff very friendly and approachable. Drinks are strong - which is good! Wings are so good - comparable to my faves like chemgio and hat yai (same amazing level of flavor and moistness). Would come back!”

“Captain's berried treasure was the best ice cream I've ever had. It was absolutely to die for. The flavors and textures were absolutely incredible. I also loved that they had several clearly marked vegan options on the menu. The service was good, and the atmosphere was cute. One scoop was a ton of ice cream and the price was just right. I cannot recommend this ice cream enough! Absolutely delicious.”

“I made a reservation for my birthday prior to their "Top 50 Restaurants in the U.S.," courtesy of the NYT, and I'm glad I did - reservations fill up quick. The food was great, but what really blew me away was their ability to be flexible. My husband was coming home on an international flight and his flight delay put us missing our reservation by 30 minutes and I got into contact with them the second that I knew (sorry for the 6:00 am text ?). Granted, it could have been a coincidence that day (it was a Friday and maybe there weren't too many people clamoring for a spot), but they were able to work with me and allow us to come to our table for a 1.5 hour service instead of a 2. That alone would make me come back, the food really was a plus at that point ? there are also nonalcoholic drink options that I really appreciated as I no longer drink. But yes, come for the food and stay for the service! Excited to try more of their menu next time.”
“Tap-Tap Cuisine is absolutely the best! The food is full of flavor, and you can really tell it’s made with love. Every dish tastes amazing, and the customer service is top-notch. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for delicious food with incredible service, you have to check out Tap-Tap Cuisine—you won’t be disappointed!

“Amazing Dinner at Plumb @ Deadshot!
We had the pleasure of dining at Plumb inside of Deadshot one evening about a month ago with friends visiting from out of town, and it was a truly memorable experience. The highlight of the meal for me was the pork chop--perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The appetizers were fresh and absolutely delicious, a great start to the meal. We ordered three and they were more than plenty for all five of us to get our food journey started. The selection of alcoholic beverages was awesome, and each drink complemented the dishes perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy yet inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed but special evening. Our waiter was attentive, answered all of our questions knowledgeably with enthusiasm and timely. We'll definitely be back!”
“This place is OK With Me!!!when they brought out my food I wasn’t happy because my eggs were on top of my gravy, but they fixed it and so I was OK but my gravy and potatoes were cold I had chicken fried steak. They were really nice. They took it off. My daughter was satisfied with her food. I was satisfied with my eggs in my toast so overall their food is delicious and decent. I just have to order different when I come next time, but I will be Back. my daughter had the churro waffles and they looked good and they smelled good and she said they were delicious so overall the food is good.”

“Great restaurant, we go everytime we are in Portland. Great food, great ambience and wonderful staff. Plus an outstanding butcher shop”
“Walking in the door, we weren't sure if we came in the right door. A large curtain was right inside. I'm sure to keep out the weather, but no real direction once inside. For dinner it is tapas styled ordering. We had salad, gnocchi, prawns, a few more plates. Now, none of the food was bad, it just wasn't good. No balsamic for the bread. The gnocchi tasted more like slices of mozzarella in an alfredo sauce. The servers seemed as if we were putting them out when we ordered. The tables were so close together that we were uncomfortably involved with one tables politics and the others sexual escapades from the night before. Maybe try another time.”
Online Reservation Available
“Had to have some pizza therapy after the presidential election results. This place was great. Beautiful spot and really good pizza. We had the mushroom truffle pizza, which was perfect. The crust was great! I forgot to get a picture of the whipped ricotta with honey and garlic. The server recommended it and it was a perfect add on. We’ll definitely return here!”

“I went to this place for me and my partners anniversary. I have never been and neither had he. The experience was top notch! I came in and the waiter said he was going to change my life and he did just that. I also had a gift card that had a generous balance and I was so impressed with the service and food that I was embarrassed to use it so I paid out of my own pocket. Best tapas in Portland hands down! My partner usually is the one who picks places because I’m bad at it and he was also incredibly impressed with me and my choice to try Urdaneta!”
24 Hour Restaurants
“The rooms are always clean. There is a light smell of dog urine in the hallways due to the allowance of pets. If you are traveling with pets this is the best option in my opinion 5 stars. The scenery I’d great being located directly in the river. Some rooms offer views of the river from the balconies. The bar serves good quality drinks; I enjoy their pitchers. The restaurant has quality food if looking to stay at the hotel.”
“Typical drive thru experience during a rush. Drive thru was packed. Line was slow moving. Could have paid less for a brick of pure gold... but the food was hot and fresh. The order was entirely correct the first time. Staff was slightly overwhelmed, but polite nonetheless.”
“The guacamole bacon burger is really good, is one of the best on their menu, the sauce, the guacamole plus the bacon make this burger delicious, the service is really fast and you can always order online to get the best price. I love that this location has happy hour for side until midnight wich i can combine with burgers and makes my order way better”
“I absolutely loved the customer service I received. I ordered online and got my sandwich made on time and efficiently. The manager there is a real gem and truly has a heart for their customers! It was early in the morning too, so to receive a smile and positivity in service was really a day maker!!”
“First off, this place is 24 hours, which is amazing after covid as no other subway seems to be(even if they say they are)the food is good but some staff don't see to listen to instructions. I ordered a sandwich with half jalapeños and got it with full jalapeños (only wanted it on half). drink selection isn't great but still has good choices and the staff has always been amazing.”
“High energy and volume. Great service. Family style small plates staggered out makes for a more enjoyable and slow paced meal.”
“The husband and I were on a ramen rampage, and the weather was our perfect excuse. Then, out of nowhere, we stumbled upon this restaurant. The service was spot-on, the food arrived in record time, and that ramen? Sheer perfection. The broth was a flavor bomb, the chashu was tender and divine, and those noodles? Freshly made and sublime. We left feeling like we just discovered ramen nirvana.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Wonderful coffee in a peaceful, simple ambiance. They are confident in the boldness of their roasting profiles and geographies, including beans sourced from various parts of Asia. I was treated with warmth and care - this was a very memorable experience and I will absolutely return each time I visit Portland.”
“Houston native, visiting Portland for the second time. Last time we came, we passed by Awafi and didn’t get to try it! This time, we got to chat with Ali, who was very kind and shared that he runs the cart alone, and we finally got to try the kofta and chicken saj. Both were delicious and reflected Iraqi cuisine beautifully. We will be back!”
“Perfection in the mind's eye in every regard.
Flavor, freshness, execution of literally every single detail (even ones you don't think about until you're made to notice), and the fact it's all accessibly priced kinda made me cry when i tried food from here the other day.
For lack of a quicker comparison, this is like Elden Ring coming out after years of being told the best you can get is sysco-sourced AAA reboots of the same "deliverable" concepts.
I want to experience this place's food for the rest of my life.
I just woke up, but this was very much in my dreams last night after yesterday's dinner, so I was compelled to just get something out. I'll come back some other time to detail the experience.”
“This is my favorite place for a burrito and it’s not even close. The people who run it are friendly, the burrito is huge, and they don’t skimp on the meat. The ingredients are fresh and delicious and the salsas are hot and wonderful. If it were closer to my house I would be there all the time. But it’s good enough that I don’t mind driving 30 minutes from time to time. Brought my wife and kid here today and they both loved it. We also tried a Cabeza taco and it was the best I’ve ever had.
Just saw a one star review someone left a week ago and that person is out of their mind. They have no taste. Ignore them. This place is wonderful.”
“Delicious & immaculately presented, robust drink menu and Tapas done right 😋”
“This was an Experience!! Hands down the best pizza we had ate in a long time! We tried 4 different types and each did not disappoint. Our most favorite was the fennel sausage pizza. The sausages were so perfectly cooked and seasoned it was a true delight!! All four of us agreed on this. Also the handmade meatballs are a most for apps!! Comes with 4 meatballs and a wonderful amount of their homemade tomato sauce with a side of garlic bread. You need this in your life folks! The pizza crust was so spectacular, it was little chewy, little burnt/blackened portions that added to the layers of flavor. We were still talking about the crust the next morning.
There is a line of you don’t get there early. But believe me you want to be there about 20-30 min before they open. Because the line got long behind us around the block. You want to be the few and chosen ones you get the first sitting. Your taste buds and stomach with warmly thank you! This was our first time trying this artistic pizza and we will be coming back, many many times. Thank you Ken’s Artisan Pizza ???”
“This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Portland! From the moment you step in, you know you're in for a great experience. The service is consistently 10 stars every single time we visit. Our server is so kind, attentive, and consistent, always making us feel like we’re his favorite customers—he really adds something special to the experience.
The environment is just stunning—beautifully decorated, cozy, and inviting, with a vibe that makes you want to stay and soak it all in. As for the food, it’s absolutely delicious every time. You can tell that everything is made with care and quality ingredients.
I truly love everything about this place—great service, amazing food, and a beautiful atmosphere. If you’re in Portland, this is definitely a place you don’t want to miss!”

“This hands down is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland OR. It the same quality of other top spots in the US like Nobu , O-Ya , and Morimoto . The location is perfect located in the Pearl district. The chefs are high quality and the fish is extremely fresh. They have a great but simple flavor approach. The service is warm, helpful, and appreciative. I always ask for Joy as she is a true professional and loves providing an exceptional experience on every visit.”
“Some of the best Pad See Ew I’ve ever had and for $12. Noodles so big and chewy you have to strategically go after them with chopsticks, veggies perfectly cook yet crispy, and the sauce is just the right level of complexity to pull it all together.
Order to serve was well under 5 min. I made use out of one of the three picnic tables to enjoy the ambience of MLK on a cool winters night”
“Simply phenomenal food. I have never had these flavor combinations before and was delighted by every bite. The ginger salad, mushroom noodles, and pork curry were all exceptional. My friends and I had an enjoyable afternoon eating and chatting in the bright space. Staff were very friendly. We will be back!”
“Tusk is great. Especially for a nice date night. The food is exquisite and the service is AMAZING.”

“Okay, this review is LATE, I went to the Astera & Timothy Dearing Collab in May of 2024 and I am finally getting around to writing this. I first want to say that the staff was lovely, I was going between two of the kombucha options and our server let me try a bit of them both before I made my decision. I appreciated how Timothy explained what each course contained and the inspiration behind it. There were so many lovely dishes, and I was beyond full by the end of our service. Highly recommend!”
“Everything. This is not just going to dinner. This is a dining experience. It’s a small reserved venue. Yes it’s spendy, but worth every penny. You’ll try food you never thought you try. The mostly seafood menu it so well prepared. Plus you can watch the prepared each course. A fun night.”
“Amazing food! We did the 7 course option and it turned out wonderful. The staff is sooo super friendly and knowledgeable about everything. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in Portland. Also holds a special place in my heart since we got engaged there. :)”
“While staying at the Portland RItz we decided to wrap up our day at the Bellpine with drinks and snacks. We were able to be immediately seated without a wait, although I was surprised last call came so early in the night. Service was fast and congenial, and the whisky/snacks selection was nice overall. Prices were, as expected, ridiculous but really you're paying for the vibes and atmosphere. The views are incredible and the energy inside is upbeat and fun. Would come back again for drinks, but would probably eat elsewhere beforehand or afterwards.”
“Atmosphere off the rip, is something that must be noted! Incredible. If you've heard of Janken then you have seen the ambiance and the famous white cherry blossom in the middle. Food was fantastic. Service was phenomenal. I've seen and heard that the portion sizes were small, not my opinion at all. We were more than full leaving this place with leftovers to take home. We ordered an array of items off the menu and we were pleased with every single one. The A 5 wagyu was impressive and the bingsu for dessert would be the highlights for myself. I would certainly recommend this place and would most definitely be back to try other items on the menu.”
“I've come in there several times . Never really feeling comfortable because most of the employees are busy visiting with regulars and people they know They might offer you something to drink once in a while. Until ERICKA !!! She gives excellent customer service (this 5 star rating is for her) I was in there the other day and she was calling every single person by name. She us wonderful. You are very lucky to have her as an employee. I hope your paying her a decent wage because if not I would snatch her up in a heartbeat . She gives excellent customer service. I guarantee you that she is what brings alot of your business in. Thank you Erika for making me feel welcome!”
“The food is simply amazing! They made vegetarian things for me that my husband the carnivore loved too. Absolutely impeccable sourcing and totally creative flavors while still being ‘Mexican Food' I can't wait to go back”
“I regret I did not take any pictures, but when the palate is filled with tasty treats one forgets. This is a must fold experience of you have never been. Flavors galore, the dumplings, all of them, are a must and the appetizers are deelish and fun to boot. We,are lucky to have this spot in Portland, it's a treat”

“I love this place - There was a guy I hadn't seen before working tonight and he stopped midway through making my lamb curry to check and give me a spice/salt level test. The guy who I usually see did the same thing before I started regularly visiting and he got to know my levels - These guys care about making their customers into regulars and you can tell that they're proud of what they do. As expected with this level of personalized service and care, the food is out out of this world and is my go-to for a cold rainy day - Luckily we have lots of them! Get the lamb curry - The lamb chunks are spoon tender, the curry is spiced perfectly and the rice is fluffy and aromatic!”
“We think that we have found our niche,
Sunday morning Keeper quiche.
She reads her book, I'm on my phone,
Sometimes I come here all alone,
No matter what our party size,
About the quiche I fantasize.
With crust so buttery and fine
To take a bite is just divine.
The filling, with those creamy eggs,
I start to drool, my taste bud begs.
And coffee compliments the taste,
A single drop we will not waste.
I hesitate, review to write
In fears that compliments just might
Extend the line to out the door-
Customers, do they need more?
But we want them to succeed
So they can, any Sunday, feed
The Portland crowd, and do it well,
Keeper Coffee - Really Swell.”
“Real neat place with fun staff. I got the Beast and the Beauty sandwich, and it was huge! Absolutely delicious with a ton of meat and delicious toppings. My friend got a gluten free Rose City smashburger, and it was on a sliced sandwich bread that got toasted but no complaints from them. Definitely recommend.
Dietary restrictions: Seems like the only gluten free bread they have is sliced loaf bread.”
“Another visit to Portland, another great vegan experience. Coming from a smaller town without a single vegan/vegetarian restaurant, it is such a pleasure to have not just vegan restaurant options but to be able to experience and enjoy vegan renditions of cuisines from around the world. My first time trying Venezuelan food was/will be a memorable one. My wife and I tried the Patacon de Carne Asada and the Arepa de Carne Asada. Both were very good, with the Patacon being both of our favorite. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to try vegan Venezuelan 🇻🇪!”
“My niece took me here this morning for the first time. Super approachable and friendly staff, great atmosphere, and shockingly fair coffee prices. Amazing coffee and overall my new favorite spot. I would drive put of my way and brave parking to go here often!”
“En Vida es muy delicioso. This cute little spot nestled away in a cozy corner of town is inconspicuous and tasty. I was blown away by everything I tried. Their empanadas were packed which is hard to find at times, the prices were reasonable, and the variety hits almost every Latin American country I enjoy eating in. 😂
Gluten free tip, almost completely GF except for the burger buns. They can be swapped out for tostones. It's a great alternative if you've never tried a tostone burger. Celiac friendly.
Cinco estrellas 💫💫💫💫💫
Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly, except the burger buns.”
“One of best prix fixe meals ever! Friendly, passionate AND professional service. Spot-on wine pairings and delicious cocktails. Wish we lived in Portland so we could go back! Good value for quality and quantity.”
“They serve a variety of Asian or Asian-inspired dishes here, but it’s not strictly one kind of cuisine. We tried the bibimbap, cauliflower curry and Chinese broccoli and my partner got a Thai iced tea. We were so impressed with the food, everything was so flavorful! We can’t wait to try more of their menu. We highly recommend the bok choy and cauliflower curry! #Veganuary”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had such incredible Chinese food! Not only was the taste outstanding, but the satisfying, wholesome feeling afterward was equally memorable. You can tell this meal was made with a kind heart.”
“Sincerely impressed, I will recommend to anyone visiting”

“My friend and I thought our main courses were excellent but the flourless
chocolate cake was very disappointing. It barely had any chocolate flavor and was rather dry. Not a good finish to an otherwise good meal. They need to use a better quality chocolate in it. The worst flourless chocolate cake I have ever had!”
“So lovely to feel comforted and cared for through both great food and service. Def will be back. Great place for a celebration with low key, calm, and warm vibes.”
“So good! The strawberry aperol, focaccia, parmigiana, and brussels sprouts salad were delicious! Service was friendly and timely too. Felt inexpensive considering tip was included.
So consistent too! Always amazing, never meh.”

“We’ve been to Feral twice, once for dinner and once for a special brunch event, and both times we had a memorable, delicious meal. It is unlike anything else in Portland with thoughtful, playful dishes. Whether it’s a fancy occasion or a dinner with friends, I highly recommend Feral. My personal favorite is the chips n dip but I’m from Minnesota so of course I love vegan dip!! Mocktails and other drink offerings are a 10/10 as well!! Updated from previous review on 2024-03-13”
“We loved the atmosphere of this place! The food was also one of the best that I’ve had in a long time! Definitely recommend the Chinese Sashimi, Kuay Teow Kua Gai (if you like spicy, this is great!!), and the spicy chicken cashew (the chicken was so soft and tasty!!!). Not only Nikki, our server was very knowledgeable. Every person that came to our table to drop off a plate, would go over what it contained and their own suggestions on how to eat it. 100% worth it!”
“Very nice and toasty heated outdoor seating, colorful and flavorful food, friendly staff.”
“First time eating Ethiopian food, trusted the waiter to choose our food and wine pairing and he hit it spot on! Everything was absolutely delicious. So fresh and spicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back often!”
“This place is one of a kind. The food was deliciously balanced and nuanced. Every dish we indulged in was so wonderful. It is a charming intimate spot and will be a go to whenever we visit Portland. The staff was also wonderful and so accommodating. Thank you again for the wonderful experience”
“The owner is super nice and friendly. I love the decorations. Very warm and inviting. Feels like you are in HaNoi. Food is authentic. Good place to go to for special occasion or hang out with friends.”
“Wow! Where do I begin. Everything I eat here is always delicious and you can tell the owners care so much, about the food, the dinning space, and their team. I love the wine list and the rotating pizza specials. Definitely a favorite spot of mine and I am so happy they are in the neighborhood.”
“Wonderful experience. From Chicago and visiting my daughter in Portland. The food was exceptional; the sausages, wurst, rouladen and all!! My daughter has celiac and trust me when I tell you that you give up ZERO by eating gluten free at The Slide Inn. FYI, none of us had ever tasted onion rings quite so good. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful little restaurant.”
“I’m writing this review 3 years later because I am still thinking about this meal. Everything was fantastic. We got two specialties, a pizza and a pasta. Pasta was probably the best pasta dish I’ve ever had and I’ve been all over the world. Check this place out. It’s a do not miss.”
“Fantastic quality and great and friendly service. Highly recommended!”
“My wife and I come here for special occasions and last night we celebrated her birthday! As always, the service was excellent, food was impeccable, atmosphere was cozy, and a very enjoyable experience. It is a small place which only adds to the intimacy of service and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy who is very knowledgeable in all his dishes and wines which were incredible as well! We love C'est Si Bon and will continue to come here everytime we want to celebrate something at a special place!”
“Some of the best sushi in Portland for decades, going back to when it was Sushi Takahashi 2 (at a different location). Highly recommended. Great options for vegetarian sushi as well!
Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options available, and when they're not too busy, the chef makes fantastic custom rolls as well.”
“You cannot say anything bad about please place, sorry. They are one of the best kept secrets in Portland.”
“Have loved the observatory for many years. The cheese platter and fry bread never disappoint!
Wonderful bar in the back to grab some cocktails and enjoy an evening out.”
“Party of four and all said their dish was perfect and raced about the service. It was an outstanding dining experience. Waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Priced appropriate for quality of dish. I say go and go often.”
“Had a very special time with our group of five. Adam made the whole experience easy and fun!”
“Olympia Provisions offers an outstanding dining experience with its expertly crafted charcuterie and innovative dishes. The quality of the meats is exceptional, and the flavors are rich and authentic. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates artisanal food!”
“Went here as a early Mother’s Day treat with my daughter. Had the sample plate…. So delicious and we learned we liked it all! Also got a sundae….. totally recommend. For take home I got the cookies. This place is a gem! Stop by and check it out for sure if you are ever in the area.”
“Dead shot was an amazing experience. The point of the pallet is to set the tone and let the masters decide your fate. You won't be disappointed, humbled and ready for my next visit.”
“We had a phenomenal time for my birthday at Xiao Ye. The ambience felt like we were the only ones dining there. We had several dishes all which were good! Their mole ribs are delicious. Their madeline’s with jalapeño cream made us not want to leave. Their roasted cabbage was a whole entree but worth trying. Make sure you try their gelatos after. The melon once tastes like a better Melona bar.
Wheelchair accessibility: I called to adjust our table for my mother who is on a wheelchair.”
“Whenever I travel, I always look for the top rated Korean restaurants that aren’t all-you-can-eat bbq. We enjoyed Han Oak so much that we decided to try the sister restaurant, Jeju, and loved it equally. The set menu has similar side dishes and exquisite house-made ssamjang, plus delicious meats, veggies, and lettuce for making ssambap. We ate until we could eat no more and then we ate some more! It was an unforgettable meal.”
“Craving something a little adventurous tonight, decided to see what the hype was about. Totally efficient ordering and pickup. Sooooo delicious - wish I had ordered MANY orders of the dumplings. Next time! Every bite a new taste sensation. This is why we ❤️ restaurants!”
“Delicious and beautiful food!!! I miss being able to eat at your restaurant because the atmosphere was always so relaxing and unique. Thanks for the amazing food and experience!”
“This was a fantastic date night choice. Very small, cozy space. Definitely recommend making reservations! While we were very happy with our food, the rosti was a little bland and tasted vaguely of potato and bacon. Not much seasoning or other flavors. I think the two dressings would have been great on it, but they snatched them quick before our main dishes arrived and I didn't even think to ask for them until after we left! The service was great. We forgot our leftovers but the server ran it out to us, which was very sweet.”
“ah I finally figured out how to do a review. loved this place. Great entertainment with mystery and comedy. Good food, and great interactions with staff and other dinner goers. 5 starts for me and I will def be back.”
“I recently attended an event catered by Kabob and was delighted by the variety and quality of the dishes they provided. The choices I made were all vegetarian, but from the comments I over heard everyone enjoyed their non-vegetarian meals as much as I did my plant based one.”
“We dined here on Sunday night August 18. It was a beautiful summer evening. We ate on the patio. The place had a nice romantic vibe. Lots of couples having a nice time. Our server, Emma, was very nice. We started with the the bruschetta and insalata Verdura. The bruschetta was pretty good but the salad was so bland. My mother makes better salad dressing than that. My husband had the prawns Verdura. It was very good. I had eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant was delicious, but there was no sauce on the linguini. I thought that was strange so I asked for sauce. I waited 5 minutes or so and Emma came by to ask if I had received the sauce. I said no. She went over to the kitchen, asked for sauce and had to stand there and wsit for a good 2 minutes for someone to hand her sauce. They weren't very busy. We thought this was peculiar. I don't know if they were short handed or what. Their sauce was good by the way. Not sure if we'll go back. We just felt sorry for Emma, so we tipped her well.”
“Elegant setting for a romantic date or a family dinner. Highest quality ingredients, ethically sourced meats, handmade pasta, always a delightful experience.”
“A tasty and unique departure from the standard breakfast/brunch fare offered elsewhere. Very nice flavors and generous portions. Excellent service. Being GF a big plus. Good coffee. Overall, a very nice experience and will definitely be returning.”
“Great atmosphere, last nights DJ’s playlist was amazing. Rizz Fizz and Mac salad were perfect. The patrons last night were all mingling and friendly. The vibe last night was there… Loved it here.”
“The garlic tonkatsu ramen is my favorite ramen in Portland hands down. Perfectly chewy noodles, thick, decadent broth with rich flavor and a perfect egg. This is the ramen I compare all ramens to!”
“Beautiful experience. Food and serves always a 10. I love how the restaurant is family owned & have been around for decades!”
“Excellent food, comfortable atmosphere. We really enjoyed our dinner and the flavors were marvelous!”
“I love this place. We have been several times. The cocktails are always excellent. The food rotates seasonally and has always been great as well. Service has been friendly and helpful”
“Sirina, Thank you for the birthday gift certificate yesterday. All the food was delicious!!!!”
“Went here last night for dinner and it’s hands down now our favorite dumpling restaurant ? the food was AMAZING, we definitely ordered with our stomachs. I will say the pork and cabbage wontons, as well as the crab and pork I think, were our least favorite. The crab one was a bit too fishy. Other than that everything was 10/10. The chili wontons, wonton soup, pork & chive, green beans, cucumber salad are sooo yummy. I’ll definitely go out of my way and drive over an hour to come back here again. The service was fast, and our waiter was super friendly and even helped us pack all our leftovers.”
“These are the best dumplings that I have had yet in Portland! I was nervous about parking and found a spot immediately. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Our server made great recommendations for cocktails as well as gluten-free options. The food is beyond flavorful and delicious! I cannot wait to go back. Thank you for making my birthday dinner delicious!
Dietary restrictions: There were about 10 to 15 options on the menu for people that had a gluten sensitivity. My friend with the gluten sensitivity and was very happy they were many options to choose from.”
“Loved the oysters and the cocktails were great. There was an issue with the order but they made it right, which is a marker (in my eyes) of a good establishment.”
“My go to spot for delicious drinks and scrumptious nibbles. The vibes are always great. The servers are all amazing especially Quintin and Johnny! This place is great on summer nights sitting outside or a winter day escaping the rain. It’s always a great time at The Love Shack!”

“Met the owner who was working by himself. He was extremely nice and his service was awesome. Not only that, the pizza they make here is incredible! Not only that the price is very reasonable. Why would anyone order delivery when this is as cheap or cheaper, but MUCH higher quality!
Met the owners children and grandchildren and all i can say is they are good people! Support local yall!!”
“Amazing creative dishes. Palm ceviche is fabulous as are all the entrees I can’t spell and the empanadas are flaky and delicious salsas aren’t really necessary but they are also incredible. Causas were wonderful. I couldn’t like this restaurant more if I was vegan. Highly recommend Epif.”

“My husband, a bread-baker, ordered flour from Tabor Bread and so we drove across town to pick it up. I had never been to their Belmont location. When we walked in at 2:15, a nice young lady told us they closed at 2:00. In spite of that, the staff then went overboard for us. They sold us his flour, then offered us something to eat and gave us coffee and hot cocoa. They were all kind, friendly and professional.”
“I just had a birthday party for 17 friends at this fantastic neighborhood restaurant! It was absolutely incredible! The service was top notch. The food, 7 courses, was amazing! Each served in a timely manner. The cocktails were finely crafted! My friends can’t stop raving about their evening at Allora!!!!”
“I’ve heard about Wok Shop Kitchen from other family members and have been wanting to try it out for a while, but I seldom get out to the east side. Circumstances finally had me in the area so I decide to give it a try. It did not disappoint. The beef ribs were off the hook and the fried rice was amazing. Got to chat with the owner for a little bit and found him to super helpful and very friendly. Absolutely going back again. Thanks Wok Shop!”
“So I get so tired of going to places where I have to yell to be heard across the table. Both the Grand Amari and the Little Bitter Bar allowed for actual conversation. On top of it, had great service and the food was amazing. Wine selection was great - had a delicious Barbera. Tried the gnocchi and my socks were blown off. Sole was so delicious! All 4 of us in our party will be back!”
“Are you sick of the same ol’ same ol’ pizza? Do you love Indian food? Well then this might just be your place. While they do offer the classics for those not looking for something new, for everyone else there is an amazing collection of Indian fusion pizzas. Of course they have a chicken tikka pizza, but that’s just the beginning. Just check out the menu and tell me you’re not compelled to give this place a try. We ordered the tandoori paneer pizza and the vegan Punjabi garlic breadsticks. And the verdict… Holy crap! Drop what you’re doing and get over here. Best breadsticks I’ve had in a very long time, if ever. Very bold flavors, chewy, delicious. And the pizza, while the flavors were more subtle, they were deliciously complex. I’m excited to return to explore the menu further. Do yourself a favor and get over here now.”
“I'm kicking myself for not discovering this hidden gem sooner! This breakfast and lunch spot delivers exceptional fresh food and genuinely warm, family-style service. The quality is truly outstanding, and the vibrant atmosphere makes any wait enjoyable. We loved cozying up to the window bar, watching the world go by while enjoying fresh coffee and browsing National Geographic and Mad Magazine. The food? It exceeded all expectations, both in presentation and flavor. And knowing the owner and his daughter are a hands-on team makes supporting them even more rewarding. A must-try!”

“This was our second visit to Salty’s and once again, we were blown away by the service. The food is incredible, but the service is really what sets them apart. The Sunday brunch is highly recommended, offering everything from fresh seafood, to a crepe station, traditional breakfast foods, prime rib and a chocolate fountain with all kinds of things to dip. We were offered everything we could possibly need for condiments, etc. before we even knew we needed them. At the end, we were brought warm towels to clean our hands. I could rave about this place for an hour and still not hit all the points I want to. Salty’s is a fantastic restaurant with an impeccable customer experience!”
“Atmosphere off the rip, is something that must be noted! Incredible. If you've heard of Janken then you have seen the ambiance and the famous white cherry blossom in the middle. Food was fantastic. Service was phenomenal. I've seen and heard that the portion sizes were small, not my opinion at all. We were more than full leaving this place with leftovers to take home. We ordered an array of items off the menu and we were pleased with every single one. The A 5 wagyu was impressive and the bingsu for dessert would be the highlights for myself. I would certainly recommend this place and would most definitely be back to try other items on the menu.”
“Great atmosphere, with good music and artwork. It’s a small business that shows pride in what they offer. The food is amazing! A co worker and I were in the area today for a training that was based on east coast time (trainer was remote).:Much to our dismay, the lunch break was at 10am, but then we discovered this gem! I had the uptown shrimp ‘n grits, and my friend had biscuits and gravy. Amazing flavors and generous portions.”
“I am a programmer for a local city community center, and our group of seniors (13 people) had the most wonderful experience! The food, ambiance and amazing service that everyone received was top notch! What made it a truly memorable experience was the group getting to meet Cheryl herself, who was so accommodating and generous. Thank you Cheryl❤ , we will be back again and will be singing your praises with our friends and colleagues.”

“Excited to have another spot for pizza over here in SE. Kind staff, excellent location (though parking blows, but that’s my problem), and the quality of ingredients is clear. Great sauce and cheese ratio. Admittedly, I prefer Paladin more, but still excited to have them!”
“I tried this place today for a quick lunch and was back at my desk in the neighborhood within 10 minutes of ordering. I had the quesa tacos with al pastor and a side of rice and beans. Everything was delicious! The meat was super moist and the ratio of everything was perfect. I didn't take a photo because I was too excited to eat, and my coworkers commented on how good my lunch smelled. I tried the green and red (mild) salsas and experienced a lot of flavor without a lot of spice, which I appreciate. My husband is a vegetarian and I'm excited to bring him so he can try the veggie fajita burrito. The prices were reasonable and the staff was very nice.”
“It was delicious!!! Rabbit, foie gras, pigs feet, escargot, halibut, eel, scallops, all the fancy sauces….SOOO good!! Every bite was just perfectly executed. The staff was so friendly and engaging which made it really fun to sit at the chef’s counter!”
