Oc House

Good good good service . Will recommend to our friends to try , There are lot of specialties we need to discover .

The service here was great especially since they are understaffed. There is usually one man running around and taking orders. I have so much respect for his work ethic. I hate to have to rate this place so low but our experience with the food here was absolutely not worth it. Ambiance is sports bar vibes with Vietnamese mtv playing on the TVs. It's clean.The food here is abysmal. I think it definitely caters more to the late night drinking type of clientele who doesn't care much about what they are eating because they faded and the taste buds are gone. For a place called oc house (literally translates to shellfish house) they don't prep the seafood (shellfish) well at all. We got the grilled pen scallop and it was overcooked and rubbery. Reminded me of freezer burn cooked shellfish. The lemon pepper sauce they serve with it is good though. The shellfish here is not fresh at all. The pepper salted squid was ok but not great, super bland and small portioned for what you get for it almost being $20. We also ordered the lotus salad which in traditional Vietnamese cuisine the sweet and spicy fish sauce that's drizzled over it is aromatic and garlicky. The fish sauce served with this was not savory and sweet but just watered down fish sauce, it made the dish very stale and salty. And for some reason our dish tasted like crab even though this dish only has boiled shrimp, pork belly slices, and lotus root. This was a strange one to see them mess up. The banh canh cua (thick crab udon) was super disappointing as the broth was very flavorless but also super rank (not the good kind). It tasted like ketchup broth. There was also a giant frozen freezer burn disc of what looked like crab meat in the bottom of my bowl. This bowl of noodle was serviced with thinly sliced beef which was meh. I likely won't return, I really hope the owners hire a better chef because the one they have currently now isn't good. Or if they are cutting corners with quality in the food it definitely shows. I had super high hopes for this place but I'll stay to Powell's seafood for now.

This place is a go-to now! There is no spot that does Vietnamese seafood and drinking food like Oc House. Super fast service, lots of variety, and always delicious food. Highly recommend coming here with friends.

This place is definitely on the more "delicacy" side of Vietnamese dishes. You won't find the traditional Pho and Vermicelli bowls here. They have escargot, clams, squid, etc. The food comes out hot and ready when ordered. The service was quick as long as you grab their attention. The portions itself were fairly small for the price. Some of their seafood dishes, you can taste that they were frozen and then reheated/steamed as you order (not as fresh). The place itself feels like a Vietnamese bar. There's Vietnamese music playing, fairly open, but a little dark. I don't have any complaints about it though, I think it fits the vibe.

The best place for viet bar food/ shellfish! Everything is cooked with so much flavor.

pricey and portion size is not a lot but it is fresh and only place in Portland so far that serves razor clams (the ones that are like razor blades).Ample parking. it is across the street from Eastport Plaza. Great interior and large tables for hosting huge amount of guest and chill vibes.They are very busy so service can vary slow and they don't really check on you again after food is delivered. Flavorful and fresh seafood. would come again but be prepare to spend as it gets pricey.

Good service and Vietnamese food you can't find in your usual Vietnamese restaurant here. I love the fried frog legs with nouc mam, the burnt rice dish, and coconut snails. The snails are big like the ones from Vietnam!

Have to say this is the most authentic Vietnamese seafood restaurant we ever have in the States. These food have the same taste of street food vendors in Vietnam. Oysters feel fresh like just get caught from the sea. Frog leg with fish sauce also flavorful and so crispy. Service is top notch. We get there late but feel very welcome by the staffs. Food served so fast but in the positive way. We definitely come back next time when we are in town.

Oc House is a 100% must. The food is phenomenal. Try the crab and shrimp udon soup with a delicious tomato-rich, soothing broth. The ambiance works great for a late night meal with fun music and an attentive waitstaff. The passion fruit juice is tart, sweet and fun with jellies. We will keep coming here to try everything they have to offer!

Was super excited to try this place with our family. I came for the seafood but others did not.For seafood we ordered: grilled scallops, grilled squid, balut egg, Razor clams, and snails.For entrees we ordered: crispy noodles, fried rice, shaken beef, fish in clay pot, and beef and macaroni Every dish looked appetizing but they definitely take more care with their seafood. The seafood dishes taste and attention to toppings and sides which is the star of this place but sad to say anything else was just bland. While the fried rice was decently crispy, the flavor just wasn't there. Not everyone in our party was happy with their meal. And service was slow even when there was our party and a couple of others there.Come for the seafood definitely! Just don't order the salt and pepper squid. It was so sweet.
