Tonight's experience was perfect! Great service. Amazing food. Loved the cozy atmosphere and overall experience. We were here in December and had a less than stellar experience.,. Tonight completely won us over! Perfect service, delicious food, excellent experience. Bravo!

Oh my, city ties food is absolutely amazing. The staff is very friendly and quite humorous. The ambience is cute. I will definitely be back. Shop local.

Tamarind Whiskey Sour
Katie S.

This place is consistently so good. The employees are super nice too. The ambiance is super cute! Now the food...I usually get the potato curry or the garlic & pepper w/soy curls (medium spice). Both options are delicious! The soy curls are just the perfect vegetarian option (I eat meat but love the soy curls). I get the chicken with the potato curry. It is mild and perfect for a rainy Portland day. Now their cocktails...tamarind whiskey sour is so flavorful (and strong). The lychee martini is so smooth and fresh. Also...you can order them for delivery (extra strong). Love this neighborhood spot so much (and it's not even our neighborhood). Worth the drive or bike ride or whatever.

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.

City Thai in Hillsdale is truly one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Portland. The atmosphere is cute, cozy, and welcoming, and the food has a more authentic Thai taste compared to many other places in the city that tend to make dishes too sweet. My go-to favorites are pork dumplings, and the Thai-style shrimp paella rice--all cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The owner(Summer) is incredibly kind, caring, and always makes me feel at home. The service here is both warm and professional, with staff who are attentive and always smiling. Another thing I love is that they change their seasonal menu every six months, which keeps the dining experience fresh and exciting. If you're looking for authentic Thai cuisine with consistent quality, a cozy atmosphere, and genuinely friendly service, City Thai is a place I highly recommend.

Oh man. Did something happen here? One of the only dishes alive liked here is the Pad See Ew. I picked some up today and it is a wet, soggy, mess. No spice. No flavor. Just sweet and watery. I think my days of coming here are over. I don't know what happened, but yeeesh. So bad.

Mango mojito is AMAZING!
Karen R.

Thank you for being open during a snow/ice storm for HOT Tom Yum soup and COLD mango mojitos. Excellent food, drink, service, ambience.

My favorite - red curry with tofu, medium spicy.  perfection!

It's been our go-to Thai restaurant for many years for a reason. Great food, friendly attentive staff, while small it has an open feel.

This bar is SUCH a hidden gem in SW Portland. It has everything you could want, need, or dream of…read more Sports fan? They have TVs all over the place, and they're extremely accommodating to show the game you want to watch. Enjoy great food? They have an expansive menu with incredible food for every occasion-- delicious bar bites, happy hour, inventive daily specials, fantastic breakfast (with a new breakfast club punch card!), and dinners you'll get hooked on (at least twice a week for me). I was going to make some recommendations, but honestly, after typing "caprese chicken sandwich, ANY burger, all the salads, the pizzas are surprisingly great, soup of the day is always a home run.." I realized I've basically eaten the menu, and it's all fabulous. Their cooks are top notch, and so is the menu. *MOST IMPORTANT TO ME* Do you appreciate flawless service? No matter which shift you roll in on, you will be so well cared for, you'll instantly feel like a "regular." As a retired bartender, I'm very understanding of the trials of food and beverage service, but also a bit of a stickler. I can PROMISE you that you will receive extremely prompt, anticipatory, cheerful, personalized service that will make you want to keep coming back. They are truly *first class* bartenders in a neighborhood hideaway. Hats off to each bartender I've encountered at Bar 3, because you can feel how much they enjoy their job, and how seriously they take being the captain of your experience. **Some other pluses: - Bring your (leashed, well behaved) dog! They allow dogs on the patio-- this has been great for me, socializing a puppy - They have Touchtunes, so you can make the background music whatever your heart yearns for at any time (unless there's a big game on, obviously) - The bathrooms are always clean and well stocked - If you love video poker, they have six machines that seem to pay out regularly - Seating ranges from bartop to booth, to table--including two long tables for larger parties It's such a sneaky little spot that I kind of hate to blow it up, but they're so killer in the front and back of the house, I think they deserve to be shouted out to the masses

Rude service. If you're not a regular they'll want nothing…read moreto do with you. It's like a social hangout for the bartender and her little crew.
