The Yummiest Salad in Portland

Ginza Japanese Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"On a whim, decided to pick up a couple items. Ordered the beef teriyaki, spring rolls and chicken. Teriyaki comes in a bowl. Rice, mushroom, beef and saladFlavor OK. Salad is put on top of the bowl. You will get a warm, wilted salad. Would like a different to go box. Spring rolls very generic. Pouched red sauceChicken karaage ie. Popcorn chicken. Tasty. Accompanying sauce good"

"I haven't had a Dutch Crunch roll since I moved from the Bay Area 13 yrs ago so when I heard that there is exactly one place to get them in Portland, I took a day off work to try it out (among other things). Baker's Mark is an efficient little sandwich shop! Order at the kiosk or online ahead of time, and they'll get your sandwiches ready quickly. There was a steady stream of people coming in picking up an order. I tried the roast beef and pepper jack on Dutch Crunch roll and thought it was great! The bread was freshly baked and had that nicely crackled top that provides a crunchy texture when you bite into it. Since you can specify what you want on your sandwich, it'll come out the way you like it. They had hot and cold sandwiches and one salad. Pretty straightforward. Delicious bread and if you've never tried Dutch Crunch, you really need to."

Portland Kettle

"Both of my favorite delis have gone away. So when I heard of this place and heard it was endorsed by my friend from the Midwest. I had to try it. I got the hot corned beef. I asked which was better and the lady said corned beef today because it is a fattier cut today. Well, that's darn good advice. The bread was really good but it was too soft for the sandwich. Perhaps toasted or grilled? But delicious rye bread. The meat was very tender and flavorful. Lots of it too. I've been looking for a sandwich like this for a while. Very friendly service. Definitely a spot I'll come back to."

Life of Pie Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (916) • $$

"Bye-bye Miss American Pie...Stopped in on a suggestion from a local Yelper. Tried the Margherita Pizza during happy hour. Really soft easy for one person to eat, or two if you want to spit it. Definitely use the chili oil that's on the table. I should have added jalapeños just because I like it really spicy. Tip: Dine in for Happy Hour from 11am to 6pm$8 Margherita Pizza Served As Is (Dine in Only) $6 House Beer and WineI love when I can just park on the street nearby. They have non alcoholic beer as well. They have very friendly service and you either Indoor or outdoor service. Enjoy the outdoor seating with a drink especially on a warm sunny day."

Dan & Louis Oyster Bar

★★★★☆ 3.6 (692) • $$

"Needing a bite to eat, we stopped out front of this place to take a quick look at the menu. After skimming it over I found something that I knew I would like and we decided this would be a good place to grab a quick dinner. When we entered we were greeted and asked where we wanted to sit. We didn't really care and let the host show us to a seat. It kind of felt like we were purposefully taken on a long walkthrough of the whole restaurant before shown our seat. Our drink order was taken immediately upon us sitting down and at that point of the day all I wanted was water. It was odd that the host served us our drinks, but it also felt like we were disrupting his day. Honestly, that was the only low point.Once we had time to look over the menu we were greeted by our server and our order was placed. After placing the order we were able to appreciate the seat we were sat at. Maybe that walkthrough was done to make the appreciation so much more. Where we were seated we had a wide view of the street outside without the noise and possibility of weather change. This is a great place to people watch as well.After a bit our food finally showed up and we started to dig in. I went with the Tillamook Cheeseburger. I know, why come to an oyster bar and not partake in the oysters. Well, short answer is I think they are gross and I'm allergic, so no thank you.However, that cheeseburger is a must in my opinion. You get three patties seared on the grill and then they are smothered with Tillamook cheese. The bun is toasted and it is topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and thousand island dressing. Think Big Mac with an extra patty, a ton more cheese and so much more flavor than you would expect. With this you get the choice of fries, coleslaw, or salad. Of course I went with fries. This was a behemoth to eat, but I managed by cutting it in half and taking my time. It was a filling meal and definitely something I would get again.After we paid and were heading to the door we were stopped once more. I assume that the gentleman that stopped us was the owner or manager of the place. He was pleasant and asked us how our meal was. He also made it a point to encourage us to come back."

"Stopped in for a juice. Came back my last day for another juice and a sandwich for the airplane ride home. The first time I thought the juice had a little too much ginger so I asked for a little less the second time. Both were great though. How I contained myself not to eat the sandwich until the plane was questionable. I got the chicken salad with grapes and walnuts on a baguette. It was incredible. I would order it again. Next time I would request they cut it in half. Love this place. Will eat here again if I return to Portland."

"Food is always great and service is usually great. But this past visit was hilarious. I had to damn near beg for 2 forks and 2 napkins. I ordered a full entree 26. Pad Thai and asked for silverware and napkins, and they literally gave me 1 fork, and 1 napkin. I said "can I get a few forks, and a few napkins?", and he gave me 1 more fork, and 1 more napkin I dine here frequently, so that was quite peculiar."

"I visited Riverwalk Cafe several times during my stay in the south waterfront. It was a short, easy walk from the Residence Inn and had way better breakfast options. The Breakfast Burrito is packed with the goods and was so filling. The chicken apple sausage is great! I highly recommend! Also, the Chocolate Chip Pancakes are wonderful! Mine were generously loaded with chips. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the city! Wonderful location as well, the river is gorgeous to admire on a sunny day. Service was friendly every time. I totally recommend!"

"This is a small chain, and they do traditional Vietnamese food. All the vegetables are so fresh and cooked to retain their flavor. The hardest part is not over ordering, as everything looks so good on the menu! We generally get our meals to go, but they have a quaint area to dine in, as well."

Ate Oh Ate - Beaverton

★★★☆☆ 3 (45)

"A friend brought me here for dinner. I really only got into Hawaiian food thanks to friends from the islands so I am not in the know for authentic.The very sweet guy at the counter was great as we were complex getting an order to go for her husband and me being completely clueless as to all the things. I was happy she clued me in on the slushies and we both tried them both. Lime and coconut were the two and they were both made with coconut milk, having that creaminess. Delicious! I was getting brain freeze though - it was pretty hot out and I just cannot do super cold when I am super hot. Delicious as they were I had to just get a Mexican coke with a big old cup of ice. My friend grabbed a slushie and added a shot to it which you can do!The food was great - I tried her Kahlua pork which was great. I got the teriyaki chicken and the chicken katsu - both were very good though the BBQ sauce served with the katsu was a lot more liquid and vinegar forward that I like so I used their teriyaki sauce. Their mac salad is a lot more sweet than previous experiences at other places and my friend said that they use a lot more pineapple. It is very creamy and I did like it. What I was not a fan of was the butter mochi cake but I am not a fan of that texture which I think is correct. I could see people liking it but I just find the sticky tacky texture to be unappealing so you might love it!"

Tito's Taquitos

★★★★★ 4.9 (30)

"Well...the garbanzos were lifechanging so definitely rating this a 5/5 on that alone. I randomly happened to be near Tito's Taquitos and decided that this was going to be the day to try them. I couldn't decide between mushroom and garbanzo so I split the difference and got a garbanzo taco so I could try both. The taco was literally incredible and I have been dreaming about it ever since I first tried. Definitely getting them on the taquitos next time. That being said, the mushrooms/taquitos were still incredibly good and all the salsas I had on the side were great, including the habanero which was memorable but also thankfully palatable. The taquito portion is NO joke; I definitely couldn't finish it on my own and ended up sharing with my husband. You can skip a wait if you order online which was super easy to do~ Service was very sweet and my food was ready just on time per my order! The interior here is cute and actually looks like it can hold more people than you'd think from the outside. Parking is easy since it's a big shared lot. Absolutely swing by and try these taquitos, you won't regret it!"

"Nice man operates the cart. I love love breakfast sandwiches, the taste and creations vary greatly from place to place. So I was thrilled that Bam Pow started offering breakfast, I enjoyed the bacon, egg, and cheese on Texas Toast. Thankfully, the bacon is chopped; it's a pet peeve to take a bite and the entire strip comes out. The sando is gooey, which makes it yummy, but kinda messy. I hope he gets the traffic to warrant opening so early."

"Folks,Don't sleep on this place. We had evening plans on the mountain torpedo'ed by bad weather and we were PLEASANTLY surprised by the quality and execution of the food. Definitely family friendly and not too hard on the wallet. We only experienced a few minor missteps that took it from five to four stars. Best part? We'd definitely come back!! UPDATE!!! We returned the next night and had excellent service. We now understand that the kitchen also serves the bar in the back. EXCELLENT food AND service. Family restaurant well, my friends."

Rangoon Bistro

★★★★★ 4.7 (109) • $$

"Absolutely incredible Burmese food, amongst the best I've ever had. My highest recommendation. I stopped in for lunch with a friend, and we shared three dishes. Ordering is done at the counter, and staff bring the food out shortly thereafter. We ordered:-Lahpet Thoke ($14; prepared vegan by omitting the fish sauce) -- this is the classic Burmese fermented tea leaf salad. Their execution of it was top-notch, with fantastic textures from the deep fried fava beans, pulses, crunchy cabbage, crushed peanuts, fried onions, tomato, and of course the tea leaves, and dressed with a nicely acidic dressing. Phenomenal stuff.-Shan Tofu ($11) -- this is the classic Burmese chickpea tofu dish, though this particular version of the dish was quite different: very creative and impeccably prepared. You get thin slices of chickpea tofu, topped with crushed peanuts, shredded cabbage, and other stuff, accompanied by a somewhat rich, tangy, oily, somewhat sweet dressing. This was incredible.-Tofu Nway ($16) -- this was the most unusual dish we ordered. The dish is centred around rice noodles and cooked with a chickpea tofu sauce -- I had never seen tofu used this way. Coming with it is mustard greens, a couple dal fritters, and various garnishes. Brilliant combination of flavours and textures once again.Friendly, quick service, reasonably priced, very generous portions. I can't praise the food enough. Don't miss this when in PDX."

L'Orange

★★★★★ 4.6 (48)

"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."

Sorbu Paninoteca

★★★★★ 4.7 (23)

"Hi-end Italian cart that probably shouldn't be compared to Gumba as the dishes are from two separate regions.The Peposo di Manzo was very good, the kale salad would make a great entree. The moist polenta is more cake-like than creamy, which is how I prefer it. And the beef is rich, so good. However, at $15 (September 2021) it's pricy for a food cart. The Torta di Ceci is a wonderful side dish, you don't often find such eclectic options at Italian sit down restaurants. Lastly, the vegan potato vellutata soup was light, but full of flavor.The two guys were cool, service was somewhat fast. They sit alone in a huge parking lot which sometimes hosts the Farmers Market. I look forward to trying their marquee item: porchetta."

"Other Ethiopian restaurants may or may not offer better value, but compared to entree prices at good restaurants, the price to portion here is fair.More importantly, I loved the Asa Goulash entree. It comes with a simple side salad, but I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for an additional side.The hot Ethiopian tea was a greatcompliment.The space is very aesthetically pleasing, including a tasteful well-stocked bar. The service was personal and attentive. Parking is a bear though.I look forward to returning, what a great first impression."

June

★★★★★ 4.5 (55) • $$

"June is such a cute spot. I'm not a 20 year old looking for a great bar, but for a girls day after lunch it was perfect for snacks and cocktails to start our day. The bar was previously the Sudra Beaverton. The decor is totally different now but it's still bright and very fresh, modern and a touch feminine. The cocktails are good. Thoughtfully prepared with a variety of spirits featured as the stars and the added flavors complimenting those spirits as well as the season/weather. The appetizers were good but pricey for what you are getting. The black seed naan was delicious and light. I think that the three of us could definitely agree that the Masala fries were our favorite. The flavor was tangy and bright and the fries were crispy. The service is bar only so you've got to order AT the bar and someone will bring your food and drink out to you. I would give it about a 3/5 for service but the ambiance a 5 and the food a 4. I'll definitely be back because I'm a vegan and it's nice to know there's a spot like this for light snacks in Downtown Beaverton."

"Absolutely delicious food, salsa and chips. Decided to try the new neighborhood Mexican restaurant and it didn't disappoint. Had three tacos ala carte, steak and chorizo. Wonderful flavors with a grilled tortilla. Green sauce and salsa served with the chips made these tacos just outstanding. I could eat here everyday. Total cost for lunch, $10.35. What a bargain compared to other restaurants on 23rd. No alcohol service yet though I was told licensing forthcoming. If you love authentic Mexican cooking this is your place."

Tartuca

★★★★☆ 4.4 (111) • $$$

"We came here for dinner this past weekend and had a seat at the chef's counter. This was great, and we were able to see the preparation of the food and also gave us an idea of what to order. The place is cozy on the inside and has a backyard patio that can seat larger groups. I highly recommend their burrata salad, campanelle pasta, homemade focaccia bread, and coppa pizza. The refreshing taste of their burrata salad and the flavor and creaminess of the campanelle were amazing. The Caesar salad, olives, and radiatori were also good. We had a great experience, and the service was hospitable."
