Ka-Te Restaurant and Bar

First time here and I'm blown away with how authentic the food was. Not a lot of places around here where you can order fermented fish paste and garlic butter snails. If you would like a unique experience, definitely try the food here. It's a bar restaurant with lots of chatter and music in the background at night but if that doesn't bother you, come on down! Service was busy but our waitress was nice.

We ordered a lot of stuff for my sister's birthday. The restaurant was fairly empty on a Sunday night. The workers are very polite and had a nice spread of some remixed throwback music that reminded me of when I was younger and playing ddr and whatnot.A lot of the food is very appetizer/shareable style. If I didn't have a baby, I would definitely come here with buddies for a drink and some tasty plates.The garlic butter snails were very good. The flavor and sauce on the shells were super tasty and sweet. The sauce soaks into the shell very well too so the snail is also super tasty. The fish sauce wings were crispy and really sweet and flavorful. The Thai seafood hotpot didn't have the best broth flavor tasting almost alittle bitter but once we added in the sauce from the clams in, it was pretty good. There was a decent amount of seafood In there as well. The salt and pepper squid were big long pieces of squid which I typically prefer the smaller more crispy pieces.Worth the visit and will definitely come back!

We love stopping here late nights after being out with friends. The staff is nice and friendly and the food is soo good! It's a small establishment but they have a nice covered patio out back and also a nice open patio our front. They even have a room for karaoke.

This place is great. The bartender did a wonderful job and took care of my every need. Highly suggest this spot for karaoke or just a night out with friends.

If you love Viet bar food, this is the place. In the Bay Area, we have a selection, but here the price is way more worth it. Everything tasted fresh. They have lots of variety of dishes. I always tell people. Try it before judging it because it's so flavorful. Just the ingredients itself sound kinda scary, but you'll be fine. There's lot of seating and I hear it's still fairly new. This place also opens late, so definitely a place to hang when you got munchies.

The late night hours are a surprise. The karaoke room seems a bit strange. However, I have had the best lotus salad in my life!!!

This is a great late night place to eat. Food always hot fresh and tasty and the service is always good . It's quite but loud at night with karaoke but it just makes the atmosphere fun and definitely a late night after the bar or even a late night food trip

Good karaoke vibe. Spacious. The shaken beef was very very delicious, one of the best places for this dish 100%

Ka-Te Restaurant & Bar is hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant in Portland! The eggrolls are the best I have ever had, crispy on the outside and filled with delicious meat and vegetables on the inside. The flower snails with butter and garlic are out of this world, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The sizzling filet mignon with eggs and bread is another standout dish, the meat was tender and juicy, and the combination of flavors was unique and delicious.The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with friendly staff that make you feel welcome when you walk in. The menu is extensive, and there is something for everyone, from classic Vietnamese dishes to unique creations you won't find anywhere else.If you want a fantastic dining experience, I highly recommend Ka-Te Restaurant & Bar.

Went in for midnight snack on a weekday and it was empty. Service was fast but staff was not wearing masks. Food is moderate, mostly not as much flavors. Good service.
