Last night in Portland. Great atmosphere, a variety of food and drinks, and a great atmosphere. Be sure to make a reservation in advance as seats are full!

I left hungry after spending $132 dollars. Very expensive and the food is just normal with a very, very small portion. For example 5 little chicken heart for $5… half chicken $54. … etc. I would never go back. It’s too expensive for the amount of food you will get. It doesn’t make any sense.

Truly we LOVED this restaurant! It’s one of our new favorites. The place was packed on a Friday night of course but we walked in without a reservation and they were able to fit us in about 20-30 minutes. We had a cocktail while we waited. The service was amazing, everyone was super friendly and inviting, food was amazing! I had an amazing spring vegetable pasta and the crunch of the peas in it was soooo good! We will definitely be back!

The pasta and risotto were excellent, the fish and chicken dishes were also great. The $7 per little scoop of icecream was exceptional good and above all. However, there was a 5% charge on the bill for staff's (health insurance) wellness . The reservation was through the system that requires credit card to charge for customer not showing up.The $50 half chicken was well cooked. At this price, there shouldn't be any drum stick but suggest a boneless chicken breast and/or thigh reflecting the price. (There was a couple sitting next to us ordered the same chicken dish and it was hard to decide who can have the drum stick.) The curry taste sauce poured over the white rice was a good show . The sauce tasted mild and missing good smoky taste of the original Japanese curry .The baked potato and butter were wonderful.Given that we had reserved the table for four to celebrate a birthday, the staff had also mentioned about the event, no sweet or a surprise cake for us but one lighted up candle on our last icecream orders.Worth mentioned are the restaurant serving with famous china dinnerware 'Noritake', beautiful interior decoration and restrooms.Despite our servers kindness and hospitality, we were not given much introduction or description of highlighted menu items and their ingredients. This would have made our choices easier to make and given us an insight on what to expect with the food.Parking: Find any street parking a couple blocks away from the restaurant

They do have parking! Check out the FAQ's. Noodles and pasta were spicy, but delicious. Everything is family style, which I love. The cocktails were so good. I'd come back just for 'Snow On The Beach'!Kid-friendliness: Nope, please don't bring your kids here (said mom of two).Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Bustling, homey, clean, and comfortable. Great service. The cocktails were super delicious and balanced. Don’t sleep on the duck confit —one of the best dishes we’ve had in Portland.

Very inviting, welcoming atmosphere and staff. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Amazing dishes that are approachable, yet elevated, and super delish!
Got a reservation a few days in advance, staff was really friendly. The low lighting paired with candles made the experience feel fancy. The food came out at a good pace, and the dishes all tasted really good. In particular, the madeleines were excellent, I’ve been thinking of them ever since coming here.

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!!!!!

What an experience! Don’t listen to all the reviews from folks saying it’s “overpriced” as this trend is just ridiculous—Xiao Ye is the definition of you get what you pay for. The service and ambiance is top tier; the restaurant is staffed extremely well and every person was super attentive and nice. Our server also had great food and drink recommendations.As for the food/drinks: I thought everything was stellar. Standouts were the mini Madeleines (I could eat about 50 of these) and the truffle Mac n cheese (so worth the up charge for fresh shaved truffle). The salads and cocktails were also all amazing and complex. My only gripe was the “Jolyn’s favorite noodles” lacked some flavor/spice for somebody that eats a lot of Asian noodles, but they were still a textural triumph imo.I definitely will be back!

The best dining experience I have ever had. The food was incredible. Every bite felt like a dream but the service made the whole experience magical. The ambience, the setting, everything was beautifully experiential but not in a way that made you feel out of place or was pretentious. That is such a rarity and this place is a gem. Im ready to go back today!
