Momiji's location is a bit of a double-edged sword: somewhat hidden, and out-of-the-way for the…read morecasual diner, but eminently located for anyone stuck in and around OHSU for an extended period of time. It also suffers slightly from that association, as one might consider it "hospital food", with all of its sordid associations. Thankfully, I can confirm there's nothing to worry about here. It's not "top shelf" sushi, by any means, but what they offer is still delicious, prepared competently and quickly, and priced affordably. My wife and I dined here after an entire half-day spent in a series of appointments and check-ups, and were famished by the time we wandered over to check this place out (we'd been meaning to ever since our last extended visit to OHSU). Among the multiple rolls in our order, the Miso Sexy and the Valentine rolls stood out among our favorites; they also make a decent miso soup here, too: not too watery, not too strong, but just right! As my wife is pregnant (again!), I know another visit to Momiji is on the horizon, as we will definitely be delivering at OHSU again. When that time comes, there's no doubt I'll be sneaking out of the delivery room, skipping the cafeteria, and making a bee-line straight for this place, likely smuggling a spicy tuna hand roll or two back with me (my wife's favorite).

Parking is still sketchy in the area. Nevertheless, their rice texture is perfect…read more Sushi fresh, service excellent & hardworking owners makes this a repeat spot.

The restaurant itself has a small entryway and as you go further into the restaurant, it opens up. In the back of the restaurant, there is lots of space and tables. It's beautifully decorated. About the food: it was my first time having Udon in a restaurant. I had a hard time choosing just one because most of the Udon dishes sounded amazing. I don't remember the name of the Udon I chose, but it was full of veggies and tofu. It was delicious. I couldn't finish it all so I took the leftovers home and savored it. I highly recommend this restaurant. It has one downside: street parking. It wasn't terribly hard to find at lunch time, but required me to walk about a block in the rain.

It's definitely a nice spot for dinner. The service was great, and our food came out pretty quickly. You order at the counter first, and they give you a number to take to your table. There's complimentary water and utensils available on the side, which makes everything pretty convenient. You can also choose to sit inside, outside, or get your food to go. We ordered the pho with steak and brisket, and it was delicious! We also got the vermicelli with pork, which had a lot of flavor. The portions are pretty generous, so the vermicelli would be great to share. Overall, we had a great experience at Luc Lac. If you're craving Vietnamese food, I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Let me tell you, if they had this place in Seattle, it would be poppin' for sure. Loved the decor, and the service was amazing. We were a party of 8, and they did the most to get us seated. They even combined two tables for us without too much wait. We appreciated this so much! This is one of those places where you order at the counter, and they bring your food to your table, although they also seat you. So you wait in line to order, and then you wait a little longer to get a seat. The menu is on a huge, lit-up billboard behind the counter, so you'll see folks crowded in that area trying to read it. The food was alright, no one was particularly blown away. I got a pho, and I would say it was okay. I think you come here more for the vibe and scratching that craving than for out-of-this-world food/flavors. The music is good, the servers were all super friendly, and it's a great vibe. Fyi, there's mostly street parking.

The wrap itself was basically a chicken caesar salad in wrap form, complete with croutons (which I don't usually care for), but they actually added a really nice crunch and pulled the whole thing together. Everything on the menu looked fresh, clean, and appetizing. Recommend if you're looking for a quick, tasty bite!

We thought it was worth it, but if we had been in a rush, we wouldn't have been able to stay. There's free street parking in the neighborhood, but some areas are sketchy, so just be mindful. This restaurant has a cool double door entry where you wait in a hallway next to another place. They'll call your name when your table is ready, and you'll step into the actual business which feels like going to another country. The interior is eclectic, industrial, cultural. We each got a ramen dish. They were large and delicious. Staff was busy but attentive. This is probably the closest I've felt to being in Japan anywhere in Portland.

With the plethora of eats to choose from, a friendly/efficient staff and service, and in or outdoor seating available, Elephants Delicatessen is a spot that's a must visit when you're in this fun city! There are multiple counters for different types of food. There's a sandwich/soup station, a pizza station, a hot foods station (for burgers & specialties), a cold deli station for cold salads/sides, and a bar/barista inside for adult beverages or coffee. Additionally, there's an area to purchase bottled wine and jams/jellies. Grab whatever items you order and pay at the register. If you order from a station, bring your ticket with you as that's where you get charged. Pretty much any type of deli flavor you're looking for, you can find it here. Some of my favorites involve the following: -Teriyaki Chicken Wings -Curried Chickpea Salad -Reuben Sandwich -Tomato Bisque -Corn & Crab Chowder -Broccoli Salad -Turkey and Avocado Sandwich -Pizza Slices (All of them!) I'm sure there's plenty of items I'm missing but those are the ones that stood out to me since I've eaten them multiple times. The staff is very helpful and move efficiently with all the orders flying around. As for seating, there's plenty of seating indoors or you can sit on the patio area outside. Also kid friendly too if you've got the little ones with you. One of Portland's finest eating spots!

Main issue was the weird combination of a human server who greeted me, physical menu, QR code ordering on a website, waiting on the server to verbally confirm my order that I entered in the website before it was started, and payment in person with the server despite the website having my total. It was a frustrating and less efficient way of doing any of it. All QR & app, fine by me. All human? Preferred. But make me type the order and then wait on a human for the payment??? Mind numbing.
