    Pad Thai
    Amayah E.

    I enjoyed their authentic Thai pad Thai. It's unlike pad Thai I tried before at other restaurants and I really appreciate how it tastes very authentic to the original Thai culture's way of doing pad Thai. The service was extremely pleasant and it was the perfect place to go for a leisurely lunch. And plus great prices with tons of add-on options

    Black Oil Tonkotsu Ramen
    Martina B.

    Very nice service, clean, casual restaurant. Black oil ramen $17 - good flavor, lots of toppings Rangoons $8 - average All the furniture is bolted down, so you can't really get comfortable sitting on the stool. The stools also don't have a bar for your feet. I'd order again, to go.

    Fire ramen with chicken drumstick
    jason c.

    Very casual luncheon establishment. They are a new Asian fusion establishment open directly next to the NE 7th Ave Max stop. Quick walk in straight to the counter to order type establishment. The place is a bit bright with the south facing windows without any shading. Their menu looks to be very vegetarian friendly, vegans beware as some dishes have eggs. I ordered the Fire Ramen w/ fried chicken drumstick. There's plenty of noodles, and the coconut curry broth hit its mark, but I felt it didn't match well with the ramen noodles. I will have to try their other dishes. The tiger eggs was a nice touch, and the drumstick was decent. It's nice to see another Asian establishment opening up in the Lloyd area.

    Spicy Basil Fried Rice

    The food is very fast and very tasty. Give them a try if you are in the area. The fried basil is what I like here

    I ordered the Black Oil Tonkotsu Ramen and it was delicious, recommended by one of them employees and it was awesome! Great flavor and quality. Small, cute but busy space right on off the max line. Clean and very fast. I will for sure go back

    Easy ordering system and friendly staff. Restaurant was clean. We got the drunk noodles (substitute glass noodles) and the black oil tonkotsu ramen. Both very delicious. Highly recommend.

    5 stars for super friendly customer service. Just popped in for some dumplings, food came out fast and the customer service was very welcoming and kind. Excited to be back for lunch again.

    Ordered some Postmates from here and was very satisfied A lot of the menu is Thai but they actually had a great katsu curry, definitely will order again. They also have fun drinks and had a BOGO at the time of ordering. The Thai Tea + Lemonade was very refreshing like a Thai Arnold Palmer. The CCC tofu was also very flavorful, it's all in the sauce. Can never have too much of that sauce.

We shared the cream cheese wontons, coconut curry with chicken spice level 2(which comes with rice), and the luc lac. Everything was deliciousss! The chicken in the curry broke apart so easily and the curry itself was very flavorful. Spice level 2 was perfect for a little kick, but not too much. The meat on the luc lac has a nice char on it and a sauce that is almost sweet. Service is quick and the vibe inside is very trendy with colorful decor and lights. Great for a night out.

There were dragon on walls, umbrellas in the ceiling, a huge full service bar. Our dishes came out within few minutes. We got the chicken skewers, chicken pho, chicken luc lac and steak rolls. We liked the small plate dishes, but the entree ones were disappointing. The chickens were chunky and dry, bland flavor. As much as we loved the vibe of the place, we didn't enjoy the food as much. The staff members were very joyful and friendly. They were explaining the process to every guest and keeping everyone informed on waiting time. During dining, they were also available to help.

Standout MUST ORDER appetizers for your time here are "garlic wok mussels" and "steak tartare". Mussels are incredibly well seasoned in what I see as an asian fusion type of soy sauce/hosin. Great tasting mussels, no sand and not overpowering sauce. The steak tartare was the standout, they handled the raw ingredients very well and milk bread complimented it very well. As for the entree, I had the 10z grilled Ribeye. It's greatly plated, I love the addition of the sauce, salt and wasabi. It came with pickled greens and salads. But for a high end restaurant, I was a bit dissatisfied and disappointed by the ribeye itself, it was hard to eat since it was abnormally very "CHEWY" which is not normal for a high cut steak. Although the 10z ribeye was the "best value" for your dollar due to its portions compared to other dishes, it being very chewy knocks Janken down as a whole for me. I want to preface I ordered it as medium rare. The highlight of my meal was the matcha tiramisu, wok mussels, and steak tartare. For a high end restaurant, I would say majority of your dollars goes into the aesthetic and nice atmosphere of the place since its accompany with a nice cherry blossom tree and great attentive staff. Food wise... definitely went into the plating and aesthetics, I can recommend ordering from the ITAMEMONO, and hot/cold section. I can't recommend any other dishes though, that'll be up to y'all to try. What stops Janken from getting a 5 stars from me is a defining must order "entree".

After I read reviews about Portland's Chinatown, I searched for a dimsum place outside of Chinatown and found Jade Rabbit I liked the name of the place and saw that they had two kinds of rabbit-shaped dimsum! Another cool thing is that their menu is vegan... that means that I don't have to worry about dairy products that give me pain. We found free street parking about a half a block away and waited for Jade Rabbit to open at 11am. We didn't have reservations, but we're seated immediately. The decor was great! I enjoyed looking at all of the Rabbit figurines! The furniture was colorful and the convenient restroom had interesting decorations, too! The service was okay. Some items were not available and our server recited the list that included chow funn. Shucks! She came back later and said that the chow funn was, in fact, available... yay! Our server seemed a bit nervous as her hand shook and placed the special menu upside-down... LOL! We won't bite you! She recommended the Ube Jam drink - it was made with coconut cream... yes! The chow funn was a bit bland. We added some soy sauce. The Puto Pao Bunny Bao had an unusual flavor - maybe the brown sugar can be omitted because the black garlic and vegan pork might be fine without it? The Jade Rabbit Dumplings also could be more savory. Something was off... and the filling was a bit sparse. Anyway, maybe we could have ordered better, but we got what we wanted! Thank you for the cute food! Note: 22 percent is added to the bill - so no need to tip.
