WokShop Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (329) • $

"It's an A+++ from me! The salad rolls here are worth all they hype... so do me a favor and check them out next time you're driving north on 82nd. Also, I'll happily order the Chow Fun any day of the week. The wide noodle and chicken dish is very flavorful, and one order offers enough to serve two or three people! I do wish the onions were cooked a bit more, but I pick mine out and saute them in sesame oil and it adds a bit more flavor to the dish. (I'm a bit finicky when it comes to onion preparation in noodle dishes)WokShop Kitchen is very responsive when it comes to substitutions and special requests. They do a great job communicating with customers. More than once I've received a phone call from them clarifying my instructions on an order... I love that! Considering how busy they are, I find that level of customer service remarkable. Don't forget to order beverages. They have an extensive menu of bubble tea. I generally order their Thai tea and milk tea, and it doesn't taste like they use a powder to create the beverages. Their drinks taste fresh and delicious."

Oma's Hideaway

★★★★☆ 4.2 (310) • $$

"Oma's was a win all the way and one of the most unique meals I have had in a while. The menu is super cool, influenced by hawker food of Singapore and Malaysia. Our waiter was awesome. He had a big personality and was so friendly that we felt like we were dining with one of our besties. I couldn't get enough of everything we ate but my favorite was the Salted Egg Yolk Curry Fries. These were insane. They were like In n Out fries on steroids. Be sure to get the char siu burnt ends with it.The Roti Canai was the yummiest, softest, warmest flatbread with a nice slightly salty flavor profile. The parsnip and squash curry to dip it in just warmed our bellies.We also loved the Sambal Terasi Udang and Wonton Mee. The dishes on the menu are all so different that you'll want to try everything, and you should!"

Phat Cart

★★★★☆ 4.3 (290) • $$

"Portland is known for its food cart scene and Phat Cart is the closest I got to experience that. One of my best friends recommended we meet here for a laid-back environment, an appetizing meal, and enjoyable drinks. This is a popular spot amongst college students and I can see why for their affordability and variation.Phat Cart has turned into a brick-and-mortar with two locations in Portland. The vibes near their PSU location emulate a cute place to unwind with friends over a meal. R&B echoes with wooden furniture and plants sprawled throughout. The brick-and-mortar is two floors with communal tables and tables for two. Everything is self-service--order and retrieve your items at the counter and grab your utensils and seats on your own. Even though you seat yourself, the ladies working the register were super friendly, and bubbly, and provided awesome recommendations! The only thing is our food and drinks came out super slow and staggered.I can see why this is a hot spot for students. The restaurant dishes up breakfast, lunch, and dinner items plus a happy hour. Known for their bentos and salads, that's what my friend got. My companion and I took advantage of their happy hour and got Takoyaki. Plus a free Chicken Dumpling from their Yelp Check-in Offer! To be honest, the quality of the food wasn't superb for us. It tasted mediocre; like it was frozen and heated up. The dumplings were plain, fried, and crispy. While the takoyaki was heavy on the batter, creamy from the sauce, and had a little bit of octopus. The flavors didn't stand out to us, so I wouldn't order it again.Looking for a cost-effective and favorable spot for college students? Phat Cart is that place! No longer a food cart but a restaurant, it's located in the heart of downtown Portland on SW College Street, with limited parking and walking friendly. We enjoyed our company and ambiance more than the food but glad we came. Be sure to check in for their deal!"

"My boyfriend said he's been coming here for years. The portions are the perfect amount of food. I love how there is options to grill Korean bbq. We were craving something soupy. We opted for the bulgogi & curry combo. The curry soup is a must try! I never had it any where else. The staff are super friendly and always refilled my banchan. I would definitely come back."

Buranko Cafe & Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (236) • $$

"This place is honestly pretty underrated - we went here on a Saturday dinner around 6:30pm aka supposedly prime dinner time and there were only 2 tables occupied. We got to sit in one of the nice hammock-like chairs and ordered 2 cocktails and 2 entrees to share for the 2 of us. We tried:Kyoto Fog - nice matcha flavor and the alcohol did not taste too strong. It was a nice touch to seePinkitini - very floral and fruity, light and refreshing drink with lychee but the lychee was not sweet at all (perhaps a bit watered down) for some reason.Million Dollar Shrimp Tom Kha Ramen - sooooo delicious! Coconut lemongrass soup with noodles that were just al dente and fresh shrimp. It is to no surprise this is one of the most popular dishes on the menuMoo Kra Tiem - garlic pepper pork. I do like the grilling of the meat and the spicy sauce, but the rice was way too mushy so that was a miss. This is one of their seasonal specials.Service is good as water refills were apparent and the servers were fairly attentive to take dishes away as needed. I would recommend this place if you want a place that serves good Thai/Korean inspired food and want a casual, not overly crowded dining experience."

"I haven't been the big ramen fan in my family, but that situation may not last. Our family paid a visit, knowing that I would be thrilled with the katsu chicken on their menu. Everyone else at the table had different ramen varieties, and the samples I tried of my wife's choice had me thinking about a return visit to try their signature dishes.Baku Umai is a casual space in a relatively new building, so the ambiance here is laid back, with splashes of local basketball and landmarks as decoration. Patrons order at the counter, and tables are well stocked with all the spoons, chopsticks, napkins, and anything else you're likely to need."

White Elephant Asian Fusion

★★★★★ 4.6 (172) • $

"I've visited a lot of other carts in the Mississippi pod but had always passed this one by bc it looked to me from the colors, design and name to be just another low quality teriyaki/fusion style pan Asian cart. But upon closer look I saw they offered some interesting stuff like chicken feet and Laotian jerky so I had to try. - Chicken feet: I'm not a huge chicken feet guy but I still like to try the different styles of chicken feet. These tasted like they were steamed a little and then fried a little w/ lemon pepper seasoning. I liked these better than Chinese chicken feet (which I find to be cold & soggy) but still not as much as Korean chicken feet which are just spicy AF to disguise the fact ur eating chicken feet. If you haven't had chicken feet before don't be expecting some delicious meaty delicacy, you are chewing on toes, but hey it's a fun drinking snack.- Laotian beef jerky: very good, served w/ fish sauce for dipping and rice. Has a nice dry rub on it that makes it taste more like steak than jerky.- Crispy rice ball fried rice: interesting to try, pretty good but I prefer more Chinese style fried rice.I've had plenty of Thai & Vietnamese food of course but think this was my first time trying Laotian, it was very good, similar but a little different."

"Didn't get to dine in the space but ordered ahead for dinner on a weekend and only a 15-20 minute wait. By the time we came to pick up the order was already ready which was great! There were some spots in the front but driving around it looks like there might be parking in the back? Will need to check another time. | WHAT WE ORDERED | + Mongolian Beef + House Fried Rice + Chicken Lo Mein Noodles + Salt & Pepper Squid I saw the wontons & chili sauce and hot & sour soup on the menu so I have those bookmarked to try another time. For the above it was ~$60 with tip so not the cheapest Chinese food around but it can last two people 2-3 meals each so not too bad when you think of it that way. _________________All of the items were really solid to order! The squid came in longer/thicker strips but had a great crisp and was still crispy hours later. The house fried rice was seasoned well and had nice chunks of the various proteins and was not skimpy at all. The mongolian beef was your standard but the cuts were on the thinner side. Nice veggies and crunch but might try another beef next time. Lastly the noodles had me hesitant at first as they were on the lighter side but after trying them they had good flavor and paired well with the chicken. Overall $60 does sound pricey but the items were good and had nice portions where the price was justified."

"Been a few times now and I am happy to share my accolades - this place is legit. Unfortunately, I am a creature of habit so I have only had a few things off the menu but I determined to have more. Pho Ga - best in Portland. That broth will bring you back from the dead - clean and delicious. Bun Thit Ga Nuong - the char on that chicken is perfect. The dish is light and just blasting with flavor. Deceptive spice in the sauce, beware.Ohhh this is now: Chi Em Mekha Grill. The inside has more chill vibe. The drinks were impressing -looking... next time!!!!"

"Food here was probably the best chinese I have had!5 star for food for sure but location and ambiance was meh. It's in a strip mall on 82nd in Happy Valley so if I hadn't read a review in Portland Monthly I would NEVER have known ot given this place a chance. I wanted to knock down a star for that, but I would rather have amazing food at a good price than a fancy location and be charged twice as much.Portions were huge and defintely family sharing friendly. We came here with friends and ordered a few different dishes and I highly encourage you to try things that you wouldn't normally order. As the name suggests, this is Sichuan style food and different than your regular chinese american over sauced cheap chinese. Somethings we ordered were standard because I have a child who wanted chow mein and I myself wanted to try the dry cooked string beans, which can be found at other places but this version was not overly saucy or greasy and def had a kick to them, so I was a fan.We had the Cumin Lamb and it did not taste gamey at all but was thinly sliced tender lamb seasoned with cumin and and chili seasoning that was spicy and full of flavor but not burning hot. It was so good and I highly recommend it!! My friend also ordered a kung pao chicken which is kinda a standard dish but she said it was the best she had ever had.My daughter also ordered the Golden egg yolk tofu, thinking it was firmer and was not happy with the texture as the egg sauce had a bit of graininess to it. HOWEVER, I had some for breakfast and it was so yummy, the silky tofu and egg was a wonderful substitute for eggs with toast this morning!I also love eggplant and had really wanted to try out the mashed eggplant with century egg and green pepper that I had read about but the menu had it listed as something weird like mashed pepper egg or something to that effect. I loved it and have never had anything like it at an asian restaurant. The flavor was really tasty and (beware) there are chunks of green century eggs in there that I really enjoyed but my friend was a lil scared of. Lol.They also seem to be popular for their fish soups and soups in general and if I could get everyone else to share with me I woulda tried it out, but I didn't want to order a $40 huge vat for me to try a cup. But maybe I can find a friend who is more adventurous to go with me!I almost forgot to take some photos so the one I did snap were of the food left after dinner and there was a lot! Such a great bargain for the quality and portion sizes. I can't wait to go back again!!"

Chopstix Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (133) • $$

"This place is ridiculously cute as a button. Small, sweetly decorated and full of light. But let's get down to business - FOOD! They bring you out some little snacks & sweet and sour sauce to eat while you wait for the main event. The menu has lots of options from bahn mi, noodles and most in between. So far we have tried: - spring rolls, they come out how so looked out! Crispy and delicious- shrimp tempura, very meaty with light batter and a spicy sauce- fresh spring rolls, also very meaty with amazing peanut sauce- pad thai, this doesn't really taste like any other pad thai I have had but in a good way. The sauce is very light and the noodles are thin and chewy. The meat is always cooked just right BUT my absolute favorite is the Luc Lac beef. It is so tender and flavorful I could eat it every day and would if I could. Service is always polite and fast. My only complaint is we didn't find this place sooner."

Stickers Asian Cafe

"Please expand or something. I keep not noticing you and it hurts my belly Everytime I walk by and don't stop. It's a little place that can always seem to be crowded. The service is very good and they keep the tables moving. The food is more authentic then American made. Means there is some flavor not just some sweet sauce dumped on for making it taste good. Love the skewers. The spinach garlic chicken is a must try. The soup is also something to put on your list of things to out in your mouth. A great drink list and bar menu. They have a good happy hour. A neighborhood joint that sticks out from the crowd. Only issue is that they lack a little space. The seating area fills up fast. They do have a little bar seating are that allows you to sneak in as a single and get your grub on. A useful tool to keep in your pocket. Great date place because the food is so good."

The service was excellent and the staff so friendly they actually took time to get to know you and talk to you about your meal. I was impressed that they were able to offer me a substitute due to allergies. Although the pork belly was melt in your mouth experience leave room for the taro crème brûlée. The food was a full sensory experience that was unbelievably delicious. The drink menu was filled with great options as well. This is going on my list of great date night recommendations and was also a wonderful place for my dining alone evening"

Bonchon

"I was excited to see Bonchon here on the west coast. This pIace is legit for serving Korean Chicken Wings. The provide either a garlic soy or spicy gochugang glaze. We chose the half and half batch of wings. The double fry on the chicken wings made them so crispy! They cooked them just right so the meat was still juicy and piping hot. The glazes were a perfect mix of mild and spicy. They also give you a small container of daikon radish to serve as a pallet cleanser if you moved between the different flavors of wings."

"Get your Korean-Chinese food fix here! But be warned: you might get sticker shock at some of the prices.I have been craving Jjajang myun (black bean paste noodles) and saw that this is the place to get it. We ordered your typical trifecta (also our waitress said that's what everyone orders haha) Regular jjajang myun, seafood jjambong (seafood noodle soup) and pork tangsooyuk (fried pork with sweet and sour dipping sauce) I will say that the food is really good and authentic here (given by the people we saw eating here while we were here) The noodles were chewy and flavorful, seafood stew with just the right amount of spiciness and plenty of seafood, plus the fried pork was freshly fried and crispy - ready to dip into the sticky sauce full of veggies.The service was quick and friendly and it was cool to see actual flames in the kitchen behind when they were cooking up the dishes. The inside decor, tables and chairs, the removal dividers seemed simple if not a bit outdated. I really was impressed by the food and we all really enjoyed our meal. However I do think the price tag (even given the portions) is a little steep for certain dishes - $35 for the seafood noodle soup? Not great. But with that said, I do recommend coming here if you get a craving for Korean-Chinese food. Please give them a chance!"

"I like the food here overall, but the hours are strange. Many time when I've tried to come here they are closed. Their hours are scratched off the window, so there is no way to tell when they are supposed to be open. I have figured out they are closed Mondays. Also seems they close at other random times. Even though the food is decent, there are so many other choices for Asian type food in West Linn. Driving over here to eat and having the business constantly closed gets frustrating. When I am able to get in here to eat, the staff are sometimes friendly and other times somewhat rude."

"It was such a pleasure to finally get to visit this awesome woman owned food cart! Even my partner, who can be a tough judge, said that this was a stand out amongst food we have tried recently. I ordered the red sticky rice and the drunken noodle with tofu, on Jenny's suggestion. (She's the business owner!) Both hit the spot perfectly. They were big portions for the price, enough for me and my partner to share. They asked what spice level I wanted and I said medium, they clarified that their peppers were pretty hot, and since I've been liking spicy stuff lately I went for it - it was exactly what I expected and wanted. The cart is located in a cool pod in Gresham - there is indoor and outdoor seating, parking, and lots of great businesses. Wish I lived closer to come back more often. I took my food to go... my partner was lucky there was any sticky rice left to try by the time I got home :)"
