Curry of the day and rice
Dexter D.

Sometimes I walk around in a daze, overwhelmed by all the sights and sounds around me. That must have been what happened to me here. I thought that I had ordered the Curry of the Day. I paid and got a buzzer. When the buzzer went off, I went and picked up my food. It came in two containers. Once with the curry, the other with the rice. Excellent service. We had picked up food to create a mini-international buffet which we took to our friend's house. When we laid everything out, the Sushi went first. After that, it was whatever was closest but nothing else could touch the sushi in quality or selection. I'm not sure that anyone actually touched the Curry. I know that no one touched the rice. I guess I failed here because I didn't at least try it before we left for our hotel. I'm a Curry Freak. Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, sweet and mild or sweat inducing spicy, with or without coconut milk. However, looking at this curry, without stirring it up, it offered no hints as to what was hiding beneath the surface. I'm sure that I probably ordered Shrimp as the protein and expected to see some shrimp or veg poking out of the sauce but no. That's why I'm giving a neutral rating of 3*.

Blueberry lavender lemonade and mango passion fruit juice
Alva I.

I was greeted with a warm welcome right away by Alex. Very clean area and very nice staff. I was intrigued by their drink menu. I got the lavender blueberry lemonade and the mango passion fruit juice. Next time I will definitely be trying their food. I can't wait to come back. Open seating indoors and outdoors and plenty of street parking.

Larb chicken dish
Carol P.

I can't remember the name of this dish but it's in my photo. The larb chicken thing is so amazing delicious. We love the mango and the pink lady drink. Can't wait to try the donuts in the winter

Kao Yum Gai Zap
Ploy N.

The flavor and spice of the Kao Yum Gai Zap hit the spot good! Super good portion for price and tasty as heck. The flavor of the larb came through strongly. Combined with warm fluffy rice and the dish was a killer. Super fresh ingredients too.

Adorable side of rice they made for my four year old. She was beyond delighted!
Jackie M.

Yum! We had red and yellow curry, coconut prawns and Thai donuts. Everything was delicious. The curry was super flavorful, creamy, and just the right amount of spice to make you want just another bite. I'll be back again and again.

Mango curry with tofu
Linda P.

I loved everything about it! Food was delicious, the chef was friendly, and the portion was plenty. I had the leftover for another meal at home. We both got the curry (1 Panang, 1 Mango) with tofu. Tofu is fried and has great texture even in the sauce. Both curry were a bit sweet. Panang had a good spicy kick.

Khao yum gai zap

Best fried chicken I've had in a long time! Super crispy and extremely flavorful. Be sure to get there early or the wait time gets long pretty as it's just one cook inside.

A Birthday Dinner That Didn't Live Up to the Hype…read more Otto & Anita's Restaurant | Portland, Oregon When the internet promises a culinary experience, but your taste buds request a refund. After reading countless glowing Google reviews, seeing the impressive 4.8-star rating, and watching all the enthusiastic TikTok and Facebook videos, I decided Otto & Anita's would be the perfect place to celebrate my best friend's birthday. Unfortunately, the evening turned out to be a birthday surprise nobody ordered. Let me preface this by saying I come from a professional food and restaurant background. I understand the challenges of running a kitchen, maintaining consistency, and delivering quality meals night after night. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect food that's properly prepared, seasoned, and worth the price. Sadly, our experience fell considerably short. I ordered the $30 New York steak, which came with carrots and spinach. I requested German potato salad instead of the green salad because I specifically wanted to try their version. Let's start with the steak. It takes a special kind of talent to make a New York steak both tough and flavorless, but somehow, they managed it. Twice. My steak was disappointing, and my best friend's mother-in-law had an equally unpleasant experience with hers. Neither of us could finish our steaks because they were tough and lacked flavor. When we expressed our concerns, we were told that the restaurant cooks its steaks medium-rare. Interesting, considering mine arrived medium and hers was well-done. Apparently, medium-rare is more of a philosophical concept than an actual cooking temperature. Then came the German potato salad. Now, I'm quite familiar with authentic German cuisine, and I wasn't expecting American-style potato salad. I was, however, expecting something resembling seasoning. This potato salad tasted like someone had whispered the word "potato" into a bowl of water. No noticeable seasoning. No depth of flavor. Not even enough salt to suggest that someone in the kitchen had met a salt shaker. And unfortunately, the disappointment wasn't limited to my plate. Our table sampled one another's dishes, hoping perhaps someone had discovered the culinary magic that inspired all those five-star reviews. No such luck. The general consensus was that the food was mediocre at best. I also want to acknowledge the service situation. From what I observed, there appeared to be only two servers handling the dining room while also attending to a large party of approximately 25 people in the banquet room. That's a tremendous workload, and I don't believe it's fair to place the responsibility entirely on the servers. Adequate staffing is a management responsibility. Ultimately, I think Otto & Anita's could benefit from additional kitchen support, more consistent food preparation, and perhaps a serious reunion between the kitchen staff and their taste buds. I genuinely wanted to love this restaurant. I went in excited, with high expectations based on its reputation, and hoping to give my best friend a memorable birthday dinner. Well, it was memorable. Just not for the reasons we'd hoped. My final assessment: The online marketing was impressive, the reviews were glowing, but the food simply didn't deliver. At $30 for a steak, I expect more than a jaw workout and a lesson in disappointment. Unfortunately, I would not return. Sometimes the hype is the best thing on the menu.

Breakfast bagel sandwich!…read more We've wanted to try the bagels for a long time and we finally got to. This made my day or even my whole weekend. This was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. I'm so happy this place is on the west side. Let me tell you a little bit about it. I had sesame egg and cheese. The eggs were really different in a very good way. They looked marbled with whites and yellows. The cheese was toasted and crispy. Everything was very hot right out of the oven. I'm a big fan of very hot food, this was perfect, almost too hot. The best part was it was salty! Like it should be. My wife got a bagel and cream cheese, fresh cut chives. Delicious. One thing, we like them toasted. They like serving them untoasted. So if you want it toasted, I think you have to get something melted on it, like cheese. They are a little small and a little skinny, but really delicious. I'd like to come by every Saturday for the rest of my life. A big thank you to the chef that made it for us! Oh, and they have other breads as well... and we heard you can buy a slice too starting out in the morn. We really wanted to buy one.

When I walked in, I was welcomed with the warmest hello and the biggest smile. And somehow, my experience only got better from there. Their pizza is already one of my favorites, so naturally I had to follow the gravitational pull and try a breakfast sandwich on one of their bagels. And WOW. It was so GOOD! I can't wait to go to bed tonight just so I can wake up and have another one.

They were so hard and flat I thought it was sourdough slices but it was a handmade biscuit but very hard, flat, and tough. Worst I've ever had. The home fries weren't to my liking but my husband loved them. The pancakes were some the best gf v ones I've had but still felt very... gf. They were rubbery and chewy but not grainy like gf tends to be. They were fluffy. Overall I'd have preferred regular pancakes. The waitress suggested them to me instead of the French toast which she told me wasn't very good and vegan French toast is hard to do (not true I do it at home... but appreciate the honesty). The tempeh bacon, tofu scramble, and sausage was also applauded at the table but I didn't personally try it. I found the chicken too chewy but others like it. The carrot cake was good but the icing is a lot. Very rich and sweet. I'm probably the only person who likes a more savory icing everyone else liked the cake but agreed you couldn't eat a whole slice yourself. the coffee was great and they kept refilling in true diner style. They offer soy and oat milk. There were other things on the menu we were curious about so we will go back.
