Poke bento.
Kim R.

I enjoyed a delicious poke bento, excellent service and beautiful views of the harbor. Highly recommend!

Nice outdoor seating
Kelvin Y.

We found Cuisinako on Yelp. The menu looked interesting. The food at Cuisinako was delicious and presented beautifully. I especially like the Wild Salmon Sinigang. The Wild Salmon was essentially poached in a delicious Filipino sour soup. The Chicken Bento was beautifully presented. Each item was delicious and prepared with care. We also enjoyed the Black Cod served with Crab paste pasta. Great lunch experience. Service was friendly. I'm planning to partake again in the next couple of days while we're still in Newport, Oregon

Seared scallops
Greg F.

We recently spent a month in Waldport, OR, and as people do, explored restaurants in the area. Eventually we tried Cuisinako, and were immediately hooked. Our first visit was a late lunch on a cool summer afternoon so we opted to sit on the deck overlooking the harbor. Joy, our waitress, was true to her name and was a joy, and soon we were chatting away each time she checked on us or food was delivered to our table. The food was delicious. I had their Tuna Poke and my wife had the Broiled Miso Black Cod, both of which were bento boxes. From her first bite my wife was in heaven, the cod had a very delicate crunch but underneath was done perfectly with the fish flaking while still being moist, and covered with a wonderfully flavored miso sauce. My poke was a large portion of tender and flavorful tuna bites in another delicious marinade, and, from my first bite to the last, I was taking individual pieces of the fish and savoring the flavors, eating slowly and trying to avoid the urge to roll on my plate and coat myself in its unctuousness. By the end of the meal I'd eaten every speck of food on my plate, and finished what my wife declared she couldn't finish, which is an epic feat considering I was eating sesame seeds and bits of this and that with chopsticks. Though I pointed to the main sections of our boxes, the rest were equally as good and supported the meal completely. We also had their Salmon Kilawan and the Seared Tuna Tiradito appetizers along with a seared Scallop special with big, tender, and flavorful scallops that were perfectly cooked. By the point we were a third of the way into our food we'd already decided to attend Cuisinako's Sunday Dim Sum dinner and asked to be put on the reservation list. Joy was joyous and quickly added us. That meal was equally as good but describing it would make this review even longer, though I'll say that the many items we ate then were worthy of writing another review. We were stuffed but delighted, and finding the restaurant helped us decide to spend time in Waldport again next year where I intend to sample their sushi offerings.

Barbecue chicken with noodles

We were pleasantly surprised to find what might be the best restaurant on the Oregon coast. The chief has mastered the flavors of Asia and made them available to anyone. This is true gourmet dinning at very affordable prices.

The ramen
Whitney W.

Stumbled upon this place last night and walked right in and got sat immediately, window seat, perfect view of the marina. The service was amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable of the menu. My husband got sake, I got the rose, both tasty. We split the beet salad, it's was insane with apples on top, the pork dumplings which melted in my mouth, and we both got our own pork ramen, it was spicy but oh so perfectly made, the broth was delicious, noodles perfect, and eggs Devine. We chose the flan for dessert because why not, what a treat!

The food was delicious and full of flavor with beautiful presentation! The service was excellent. Right on the port.

OMG!!! Absolutely delicious

I was so excited to find this place!!! I really enjoy going down to the historic bayfront when in Newport - seeing the sea lions, grabbing a drink and some food. But, there are a limited number of restaurants, where I can enjoy a meal (gluten-free and dairy-free). I called to make reservations for a Saturday night and I'm glad I did because it has limited seating. Our server was fantastic, fun, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was SO delicious, like really good. And the kitchen cam was fun

Pork Shumai
Alice T.

Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 cute ambiance with lofi calming music in the background. The ramen came with three lil sweet black garlic pieces that felt very special. I was impressed with the very tender and flavorful fall off the bone pork ribs and thought the portion of meat was more generous than most ramen places. They cooked the pork very well because I could bite into the bone entirely, and my boyfriend spent time peeling off the outer layer to expose the bone marrow inside for us both to enjoy. It was very decadent. Bento box also came with a generous portions of seared yellowfin, the searing on it was beautiful. My boyfriend said it was "straight fire". Pork shumai was good too! The sauce on there was very vinegary which I prefer mine a little less vinegary but that's a personal preference. My boyfriend is gluten free and asked about the ingredients in the wrapper and was told it was a rice wrapper so he was able to enjoy it as well! Seating is limited so I recommend calling ahead, but we were lucky to be seated immediately on a Saturday afternoon.

Love that there is an asian/filipino fusion here in Newport. Was excited to try these dishes that remind me of home. Im so glad we were not disappointed. We especially loved the salmon ceviche/kinilaw and the owners gave us excellent service! The food could use a bit more improvement with the doneness but overall would still recommend esp if youre curious about Filipino food. Location was also great because it had a lovely view of the waterfront.

Spicy Tofu kimchi jjigae tteokbokki Black cod with noodles
sophia r.

Food was so flavorful and my jjigae was pretty spicy, I loved it. The place was small and cozy with dim lighting and cute decorations everywhere. The oolong tea was also very good and added to the ambiance. The servers were so friendly and attentive, this place was super great.

Vegetable dumpling and pork shumai

The dumplings are delicious. We had kimchi and vegetable dumplings and pork shumai we had the chili crunch oil on the side so we could each drizzle what we wanted on it. Well worth it!

Brittany J.

Absolutely LOVED everything about this place! The atmosphere, staff and food was all amazing! Will absolutely be dining here often!

Tristan H.

Really great Japanese restaurant that has terrific presentation! This place is literally the first (or last) restaurant you'll see on Newport Pier district. I recommend the ramen, very good. The outdoor area isn't shaded very well, so try to sit inside if you can.

It's hard to find real Chinese food in this neighborhood and I'm glad I found it here…read more They also have an Asian grocery store right next to it that can meet most of your needs The food is actually 4 stars in other big cities but it worth 5 stars here! The beef flank stew is nothing like what their photo shows but it's still good. Not really a dry saucy beef, more of a soupy beef stew. Lots of beef (in this economy!) and the right amount of texture. Not too chewy or dry House special fried rice. flavor is ok, kinda bland, but has lots of various meat. Will try the curry one next time Stir-Fried Lamb with Cumin, generous amount of lamb as well. Rich, musky cumin flavor with a great texture. Probably will be crispy if dine in in person Forgot to take pictures for the Braised pork with preserved mustard leaves (梅菜扣肉). Hard to go wrong with this. Pork is stew long enough that it breaks easily. Just wish it's thicker and with more marinated mustard leaves Twice cooked pork. Another stable you have to try for any real Chinese restaurant. Pork was cut real thin and not too spicy. Just wish the cabbage is more crunchy

We had the grilled whole fish and mapo tofu, both were great, especially the grilled fish, it's huge portion with lot of ingredients for $28. Mapo tofu was okay but it was room temperature when it's served. The wait time was long (30 minute) even the restaurant was quiet when we visited at 2pm. We almost missed our flight due to the long wait.

Dumplings are of course the best part (the saucy dishes are flavorful and good, but the dumplings really shine). Lots of seating available and fast service. Prices seem reasonable relative to quality.

Honestly, thank god for authentic Chinese food…read more This is the best place you go to in Eugene for delicious handmade dumplings and noodles. Came in mid-afternoon on the weekend and the place was busy. We were seated immediately and received our food ~10 mins after ordering. We ordered the spicy and sour beef noodle soup, veggie dumplings, and scallion pancakes. There is an option to adjust the spice and numbing levels to your dishes. The food came out steaming. The veggie dumplings were flavorful and the wrapping was just thick enough to make 10-dumplings a hearty meal. The taste profile is similar to what you'd find in Northern China, and there is chili oil/vinegar/soy sauce at the table for you to make your own sauce. Scallion pancakes were deep-fried and on the thin side. They were more oily than the homemade ones I'm used to, but the crunch and flavor on them were nice. The sour and spicy beef noodle soup (opted spicy and numbing) was yummy. You can tell the noodles were handmade and they had a good bite to them. The beef was tender, the bok choy was a nice refreshing balance to the bold flavors of the dish, and the tea egg was a nice addition. The soup was quite sodium-heavy and oily, but the flavor was quite authentic and still yummy with the numbing spice kicking in towards the end. The interior is clean and has a viewing window at the front where you can see dumplings being made in real time.

It's the typical trope of an overly Chinese…read moredecorated theme with the pagoda on the roof and lots of embellishments that need a new paint job. But I didn't come here for aesthetics. The inside is very spacious too. Again, with the typical red and gold Chinese dragon décor. I love this sort of place. Makes me feel really comfortable. We were seated at a rather economically sized booth. Me and my birthday girl sister's butts barely fit. Me and my parents traveled from Portland to Salem to take my sister out for her birthday lunch and she highly recommended this place. Per usual, there were scads of choices to behold on the menu. My parents shared some sort of beef vegetable dish. My scallop and vegetable plate was wonderful. Usually places are stingy with their scallops. Not here. I had oodles of scallops. Like more than I knew what to do with. I ended up with a to go container. The whole time we were sitting there I kept eyeing the red door that beckoned Lounge on it. My mind imagined all sorts of scenarios going on behind that red door; all of them seedy. Because that's how my mind works. I couldn't wait until we were all boxed up and ready to go so I could check it out. Imagine my surprise: Nothing but good, clean, wholesome, fun happening in there. There's a pool table, folks were eating. A nice gentleman at the bar and a friendly bartender. My fortune cookie was pretty awesome and probably true too. Bravo, Hong Kong House! 2024 - Review # 10

We let our waitress know it was our first time here and she made several wonderful suggestions. Starting with the egg flower and hot and sour soups, very flavorful. The Dimsum was wonderful and full of flavor. We ordered BBq Pork egg foo young and the flavors popped. We also ordered the Mandarin chicken which was both spicy and sweet but not too spicy, just perfect. My husband also ordered a combination plate with Sweet and sour pork, shrimp, and chicken lomein and fried rice. Our over all experience was great and we will be back. The Hong Kong House is a hidden gem here in Salem.

Both items came with soup and we both ordered hot and sour soup. Also, both choices came with another protein, either barbecue pork or shrimp. We both opted for the pork. The soup was piping hot and nicely spiced. It was somewhat lacking in noodles, veggies and tofu. Very soon thereafter, our lunches arrived. As you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant, there was a lot of food on the plate. We had both asked for mildly spiced, but there was a jar of hot pepper oil on the table, and I added some to mine to spice it up. The General Tsao's chicken was really good, but the accompanying barbecued pork was quite dry. But when I added the sauce from the chicken to it, it was good. Also, as you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant, we both brought home leftovers. We were both happy with our luncheon and will be returning again.
