Alison T. "I don't eat Korean food often since moving out of LA -- maybe a yearly BBQ or AYCE and biannual trip to Nak Won. And I don't order adventurously when it comes to Korean cuisine but the kimchi soup, mandu, and bibimbap I ate here were all tasty. Other reviewers have noted that the place/food has a homemade feel and I agree. Our server Hannah was sweet and helpful, and I think she said her mom or grandma was cooking in the back. No-frills inside. Bathroom was an undisguised supply closet.Prices about a dollar higher than what's on the pictures of the menus. (Sry, didn't grab a photo!) We spent about $90 to feed three people, without ordering too extravagantly (each got a main, plus the aforementioned mandu, plus one $9 bottle Terra of beer). Came with rice and half a dozen banchan.I think we will be back due to proximity and when in need of a heart-warming meal."

"I cannot tell you how much better this place is than the previous a Chinese place (no offense to the old place...).It's not a fusion or Cajun and Chinese - they just have both options on the menu.The Chinese food is good - especially love the egg flower/drop soup at this place. The Cajun seafood is also great. We've gotten the shrimp - shell on for more flavor - and the crawfish."

Keizzel C. "I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for Old Pal! I was curious after walking around the area and saw the new space open. Peeking in I was intrigued by the beautiful decor and art pieces hanging on their walls.I checked in case reservations were crazy but had no issues walking in during their happy hour from 4-6 pm. During happy hour they have $2 off their cocktails and $2 oysters for their half/full dozen. Overall really beautiful space and I really loved the colors used and their bar counter area. We ended up seating at a booth this visit but from the moment we entered we were greeted by the friendly staff.Looking at the menu they seem to be more vegan/vegetarian friendly with the protein items being more focused on seafood. I liked some of the unique flavor combinations I saw and this visit I definitely ordered more than I could eat in one sitting.The meal consisted of + Dozen oysters - they had two varieties in the dozen and both were delicious. Sweet but still a little brine. They had a nice mignonette sauce paired with horseradish. + Gougers - Must try! Super airy and a great warm way to start your meal. They pair it with beer jam which was unique on it's own but was a surprising flaovr combination.+ Malt & Vinegar Potatoes - I love salt & vinegar chips so I HAD to try this. It did not disappoint. The potatoes were cooked well and the seasoning was on point. I just wished it was slightly crispier. I enjoyed their yogurt dipping sauce too because it also consisted of herb oil and fish eggs which I have never seen paired with potatoes before!+ Ricotta Gnocchi - I ordered this because 1) love bolognese 2) love mushrooms 3) last time I ordered ricotta gnocchi was in Chicago and it was super soft. All in all I thought the sauce was super decadent without having meat. The gnocchi was denser here than what I was expecting but it absorbed the sauce well. + Deep fried squid + lemon - Not the most unique item on the menu but I do love my calamari. The coating here was super light and the squid was cooked well. Just slightly salty for my liking but the fresh lemon helped.Food comes as it is ready and the gnocchi took the longest but we didn't go too long in between items before our next one was ready. As for drinks since it was happy hour I got a mix of the pear martinez, milano, and oaxacan negroni. My favorite was the pear martinez and the staff said was a popular drink recently too. Drinks here are made well and strong.It's a great date night place or if you want to get something a little fancy. It is a little more pricier so it's worth coming when you want to splurge or come with a group to try more items together At the end of your meal you can pay by QR code which was nice. Come show them some love!"

Matthew U. "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."

It serves its purpose when you're craving Taiwanese hot pot, but the ingredients feel too simple like it can easily be made at home. I'll continue to come here for hot pot, but if boiling point were ever to come to Portland, I'd go there instead. Value wise, I think it's a bit pricier than I'd like it, driving my rating. The wings though, were a 5/5. Great flavor and actually not that spicy at all. Perfect crispness. Would definitely order these again. At the price they are at the time of my review, I think it's a good value."

Service was great and the owner was very very nice. The fry's were a little to salty. The hush puppies were really good. I loves the fact that they cut slits into the to go container to let the steam out so that your fry's were not soggy. The fish size was good and the amount of frys received were great as well.Cons: frys a tad bit salty. Only one type of fish served. The hush puppies were considered a side for almost $4 if I recall. Usually, hush puppies comes with fish plates so this location it was a bit of a surprise. The location and parking is questionable but the food is great non the less."

It was helpful that I had a couple of dining credits for being a Platinum Elite IHG Rewards Member and booking my hotel through the Chase Travel Portal. For dinner on my first night, I ordered the risotto which was fine. On the following evening, I very much enjoyed a dozen of fresh oysters and the mushroom toast. I also ordered a mocktail that was so refreshing. I must've been on a mushroom kick because the following morning I ordered the mushroom omelette for breakfast! The vanilla latte was so good and I wanted to order three more but refrained. I loved the omelette, particularly the ratio of mushrooms to cheese, really quite nice! My servers, Cassandra and Laina, were very friendly and attentive. I was seated inside but loved the ambiance and view nonetheless. I know there are so many great places to dine in Portland but I would recommend King Tide if you're staying at the Kimpton or nearby!"

Cooked to perfection and fresh garlic on top. I've been to a similar place when I lived in another state for a while, but the atmosphere is nicer here. It feels open, clean, and everyone is enjoying themselves. We will definitely be back, and I can't wait to bring visiting friends and relatives."

Morgan H. "The food and experience at Jacqueline are both so special. My friend and I did the "let us cook for you" tasting menu experience where we received 10 courses served family style. The courses started off light and I was worried that I would still be hungry but by the end I was stuffed! The menu is seafood-forward so being from Los Angeles I thought that $90/pp was a great value for what we got. The menu changes based on what is fresh so I won't detail what we received but I did have two favorite items. The squid ink udon noodles with shrimp, squid, crab, spinach and chili crisp butter was packed with umami and you can't go wrong with a good udon noodle! The polenta fritters with 24 month aged serrano ham and green garlic aoli was also a wonderful combination of flavors and a great contrast to all of the seafood courses. They ended the meal with a panna cotta with a candle in it for my birthday, a super nice touch. All of the staff were warm and professional and we loved our meal here. You can order a-la-carte from the menu as well."

It did not disappoint. We arrived without a reservation early-ish on a Friday night and were seated quickly. It was busy with only a few tables free, yet there was no issue with availability. The service, food, and ambiance continue to be outstanding, even two years later. However, on this visit, we skipped cocktails and went straight for the food. After the simple yet delicious complimentary bread course served with a tasty salted butter, we got both the Dungeness Crab Roll and the large portion of the mixed greens salad to start. For mains, we got the grilled swordfish and halibut, and finished off the meal with the taramisu gelato. While our favorite dessert, the German Chocolate Cake, is not currently on the menu - everything we tried was flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The portion size on the taramisu gelato was a bit on the smaller side, but the taste of taramisu was fully present and balanced with the espresso and small cookies. Always a local favorite for us, we'll continue to make Southpark Seafood a priority when visiting the PDX."

Karen W. "I love the idea of having seafood from food trucks. This food truck is located at one of the newest food cart pods in Portland. It is enclosed with fence so I feel quite safe. It has lots of outdoor seatings with covers. It also has a large indoor air conditioned sitting area with good circulation in case you worry about Covid-19. While we were eating indoors a worker came and cleaned every table. I really apprciate how clean and safe they are there.Well, I just want to say that their sauce is so delicious. It has very good flavor that I wish I could take it home and reuse it on other dishes! However, it took such a long time for them to make the dish. We ordered just one dish to share and to try out their food. I read other reviews that they gave you lots of food for the price. So we thought we could share one order of Alberta grab bag. What a mistake! I was disappointed that for $14 you get two small potatoes, one sausage (very oily and fatty), one corn and three crab legs that were very, very skinny. They give cash discount and we paid $10 for the dish. I was hoping to have more seafood than other non-seafood items. Although the sauce was very tasty, I was more hungry after splitting this grab bag with my husband and the long wait over 50 minutes! I don't think it should take that long to make such simple dish.It was good that I got plastic gloves because it was definitely very messy with the oily sauce. I also found it very difficult to eat crab legs without any tool other than my fingers and teeth. Perhaps we need to bring our own tools next time.Tips: Order food from this food cart and then head over to other food carts and order food there. By the time you finish eating your meal then you may be able to get the order as your afterdinner appetitizer."

Andrew C. "Our go-to neighborhood Thai joint where we usually order takeout. We've been coming here for years but they've tightened up their game recently, revamped the menu and spiffed up the interior a bit, and the dishes and flavors are more consistent these days. We usually get one of the stir fry's, and my recent Pad Prik King order was especially tasty, with just the right amount of heat and garlic and plenty of meat. Pro tip: this is pretty universal but if you order takeout the portions are usually smaller than what you'd get if you dined there. And you should dine there: it's a pleasant, cozy atmosphere inside considering there's a strip mall outside, they have beer, wine and even some mixed drinks, and the servers are all super nice and patient.Usually plenty of parking, too."

Rashi T. "Merlin's Beard ! This place is truly remarkable, and I'm glad we ended up here after deliberating between a couple of other options. The restaurant is quite small, with only a few seats. I noticed the server had to turn away at least six or seven parties after ours because they just didn't have enough seats. The place looks like a local Korean spot with movie posters adorning the wall .We started with a round of Korean soju that our server suggested and followed it up with Korean style hot dog. It was cheesy and delicious, and I am so glad that we were able to get the last one. We followed this up with green onion pancake and rose Tteokbokki . The food does takes time to arrive because this place truly was a two people show - They only have one chef, and just one server. Between the two of them they were doing it all - taking orders, seating , serving ,cooking , takeout orders etc .The food is phenomenal , we were appreciating every single bite we put in our mouth. The Tteokbokki had great flavours , the sauce was creamy and spicy and packed a punch. The Haemul pajeon was excellent - thick , crispy edges and soft texture in the middle with a lot of seafood . Despite the food being excellent there was no way we could finish all of it so we brought it home and they heated up very nicely next day . Service was good but I do feel they can do with at least another server. Pricing seemed fair for the delicious and big portions ."

This is one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time.I made a reservation online to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. We've heard great things from friends, and after reading other reviews, it seemed like the perfect place for a celebration. Our table was ready when we walked in. The atmosphere inside is very inviting and cool. The tables are made from thick live edge tree rounds. Super cool looking. They had fresh flowers on the table with a lit candle. They also had a birthday card on the table for my husband. It was such a thoughtful touch.The staff is super friendly, welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable. Our server was Angelique. She was wonderful. She was able to answer all our questions about the menu, food, and drinks. You could tell she really liked working there and experiencing the culinary brilliance of the chef. The chef was involved in our experience, too. He came up to us during our main entrees to find out how everything was. We thought that was super cool. Then he came out again at the end of our meal and thanked us for coming and wished my husband a happy birthday. We were so impressed. It really elevated the whole experience. Now the food. Wow! The chef really knows how to pair flavors. We ordered the asparagus appetizer. It included a Dungeness crab cake, almonds, chives, radish, English pea puree, and hollandaise. It was SO good! It had a few ingredients that I wouldn't normally like, but I loved all of it! Our entrees were the duck breast and Alaskan halibut. Again, both were outstanding! Everything was so good and fresh. We finished the meal with a complimentary vanilla creme brulee. They even lit a candle in celebration. We were so blown away with our entire experience here! We'll definitely be back. I would highly recommend."

We actually walked by the place without realizing it - their name on the door is very subtle. The dining room inside is cozy - tables are fairly close together. I don't remember hearing music, so it must have been at a low enough volume that we didn't even notice, which is great. Too many places these days blast music at you at dinner. At Davenport the food, service and ambiance were all fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate to come back. We went with the Portland Dining Month menu: beets, scallops, and panna cotta for my mom; radicchio salad, steak and panna cotta for me. We also got an order of the witch nettle dumplings because I was curious. It was quite dumpling-like but it was based on the greens with plenty of cream and sheep cheese. They were good. The beets were really good and came plated with some greens making it look like they'd just been plucked from the garden. The radicchio salad was quite bitter as you'd expect from that plant, but the vinaigrette helped cut some of the bitterness. Scallops were perfect - super rare and just seared on the outside. We loved the fennel salad with grapefruit on the side. The steak was served medium rare - it was well seasoned, tender and easy to cut. For dessert, we both had the panna cotta and I'm glad we didn't have to share. It was the perfect texture, with hints of what we thought were cardamom, and it wasn't too sweet. I'd come back just for this panna cotta. Our server was fantastic. It's been a while since we've experienced such good service in Portland. She was super attentive about water, explained dishes and wines to us, and just checked in on us the right amount. Overall, Davenport checked all the boxes. Can't wait for our next visit!"

The interior is dated but clean. There isn't a great space to wait for a takeout order so we sat at the bar, but it kind of felt like we were in the way. There aren't a ton of vegetarian options, though we were able to get some tofu dishes, veggie dishes, egg foo young, and almond cookies. Overall we felt like it was alright. Nothing was quite as flavorful as we wanted, portions were a little smaller than we hoped, prices were a little higher than we'd like... overall, just alright."

Vibe is a bit like an Apple Store/travel agent office (for those that remember) mixed w/ a Chinese buffet/cheesy kids pirate themed bday party (think it's run by a Chinese family which might explain the name choice lol). Weird description I know but I think you'll agree if you go.Ok the food - we happened to come for happy hour which is til 530 on weekdays. good deals - $5 beers, $8 for half dozen oysters, and cheaper snow crab and shrimp. I'm not a huge oyster guy usually cause it's not worth the price for me but since it was just $8 we did it. We decided to go w/ the crab & shrimp HH combo. They have lots of other choices tho: dungeness & king crab, crawfish, lobster tail, clams & mussels. Basically you choose your seafood, seasonings, & spice levels & then you can do add-ons like corn and we added some sausage. We liked medium spice w/ atomic seasoning (mix of Cajun, garlic butter & lemon pepper). The presentation is a little less than elegant - they hand you a bag of all your steamed shit, a bucket, a bib and lots of wet wipes. Don't try to maintain your dignity, just put on your bib and let yourself loose, it's the only way to enjoy it. They have some other things like po boys and some non seafood stuff but the bag o crab + whatever else you want is why you should come."

Stephanie M. "I heard many things about this location before actually coming here myself. I visit Ilani often (too often actually). However, I heard a lot of mixed reviews about whether this was worth it or not. I am a steak snob -- so to me -- IT WAS WORTH IT. So here is the summary -- it is a steak house -- don't expect a $20/dinner. That isn't this type of place -- go to Tom's Urban or the food court with that expectation. This is a NICE upscale steakhouse. The location was clean and I like the darker woods and vibe to the location. Very inviting to someone like me that likes the upscale almost exclusive feel. We went on Mother's Day. It was a Sunday and every Sunday they have a Feast option for 2 that is $99. It includes a starter each, shared entrees (including all of: steak, short ribs, pork belly, shrimp), two sides to share and a dessert to share. Not at all bad considering. I hear on Tuesdays they have Tomahawk night which is a Tomahawk ribeye with two sides and a dessert for like $145 as another option. The steak was a 10 oz with a wine butter compound. I would have preferred a garlic butter compound but it worked fairly well. The steak was delicious and cooked perfectly. The short ribs were also fantastic they were tender as all get out and perfectly stringy (like I like them) it was a baseball cut. The shrimp were in a cream sauce -- cooked perfectly mine was not deveined which is weird but I deveined it. The cream sauce is light. The pork belly (not what they call it) had fantastic flavor ... We got Bacon Mac n Cheese it was good and creamy -- I could have honestly used more cheese flavor but that is ok. They were out of Broccolini so we got Asparagus which was the sub and not an original option on the menu. It was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. My mom got the spinach salad with an apple vinaigrette and it looked amazing she loved it. I got the french onion soup and it was pretty darn good -- I would go with a wedge next time. We also shared the 1/2 order of the garlic cheese bread -- now this was divine. The blue cheese sauce is AMAZING... I will definitely get this again.We shared the cheesecake dessert. In my opinion it was enough to share but it also had great flavor with a graham cracker crust. Bathroom you have to leave and walk down the casino to get to. Service was top notch. I will definitely be back."

The dish was bursting with flavor and incredibly fresh! We also couldn't resist the Dungeness crab, which was wonderfully fresh and sweet. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, taking time to introduce us to the variety of local seafood options.Salty's left a great impression on us and was the perfect start to our food adventure before heading downtown. Highly recommend if you're after delicious, fresh seafood with a view you won't forget!"
