Excellent hot n sour soup
C... D.

Tasty!! Not a super fancy buffet, well stocked with mostly Asian fare - mapu tofu, spicy eggplant plant stirfry, grilled/ baked/ fried fish, shrimp and clams stirfry, veggie options, noodles rice, soups - a cold salad bar ( with cold chicken feet of course) sushi, fruit - too many to name all of them- the Mongolian beef, mapu tofu were my favorites although I did try some cold you-peel shrimps, and the orange chicken looked inviting! Other fare included pizza, garlic bread, vanilla & chocolate pudding, cake slices - and my other favorite was the cold tapioca & taro "soup" dessert. Took pictures of our plates / and a really good hot n sour soup ( zesty, with a great consistency, better than the sit down restaurant we go to!) Very clean, and the clientele of mostly older Asian uncles and aunties on a Monday afternoon tells you food is gonna be good!

Everything tastes good and fresh 10 of 10

The ambience with calm music reminds me my app for meditation, they have a huge screen with videos about forest, mountains etc and then the food is delicious and you can taste the food was made for traditional Asian cuisine, I really enjoyed and recommend this place with a very affordable price on weekday

The food was tasty and fresh during the lunch hour. Likewise, the service was good too. I enjoyed the variety of options and the spacious seating. I'd definitely return!

Sweet and sour soup, chocolate brownie, a piece of orange chicken, and fried plantains.

I enjoyed the buffet. More options available for lunch than I thought. Not busy, super clean, most dishes were just okay. A few were really great, and a few not good at all. But my husband and I disagree on what's good and what's not. Neither of us liked any of the desserts, we both liked the sushi we tried, and we both did not like the steamed fish. Everything else we disagreed. Would go again and plan to return. Great place to take my lactose intolerant family members.

a variety of seafood dishes

We heard mixed reviews about this place, but decided to finally try it because we love buffets. From outside it doesn't look very big but when you go inside, the space is pretty large. The staff is very friendly and they're very busy making quick rounds to keep everything clean. Dinner is a pretty good price being a little over $20 with drink included for dinner . There is a good selection of food, a little more than your typical buffet place with all the normal Asian cuisine's . They're cooked oysters are really plump and juicy and there's a lot of mussels with the Mayo cheese topping. The cold section had a lot of roisters, rock, crab, and lots and lots of sashimi. Overall in the Portland area, I would maybe consider this the best buffet place.

We had such a wonderful experience at Salty's on the Columbia River! From the moment we walked in,…read morethe views were absolutely stunning, you truly can't beat dining right on the river. It made the whole evening feel special and relaxing. The food was amazing fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything we ordered exceeded expectations. A huge shoutout to our waitress, Nancy! She was so kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. We can be a little picky with our food, and she went above and beyond to help customize our entrées so they were exactly how we like them. She made us feel completely taken care of without ever making us feel like we were being difficult. Between the beautiful view, exceptional service, and fantastic food, this place is a must-visit.

This was a very disappointing and honestly unsettling experience…read more We were dining with our 17 month old, who briefly became fussy (about 1-2 minutes). We intentionally did not intervene immediately, as we are working on teaching her to communicate without reinforcing whining. During that short time, multiple guests began making comments toward us, including telling us to "do something" and calling us "the worst parents." The situation escalated when one woman followed us as we were leaving, recording us and yelling in our faces. What's most concerning is that the restaurant did not intervene in any meaningful way. Instead of addressing the guests who were harassing us, we were asked if we wanted to move tables. Our server was kind and tried to help, but the lack of management response in a situation that clearly crossed into harassment was unacceptable. I left feeling shaken and unsafe. I would not recommend this restaurant for families.

Let me start by saying the staff are SO nice. They'll consistently come back to your table and make…read moresure everything is alright. There are booths where you order food to come cooked, and then the hot pot tables where you order the ingredients and cook them yourself. It's very interactive, and they have plenty of meats, vegetables, tofu, dumplings and noodles. You can choose the broth you want at the beginning and they'll bring out the pot. Each pot is split in 2, so you order one regular broth and then a spicy broth. They also have a veggie broth, which I really enjoy. You can grab things from the salad bar, and they have different sauces/oils you can take and add to your soup. You're able to really customize the experience. It's a fun little experiment you get to do with your friends and family. The space itself is busy with customers walking around and staff brining drinks and food, but it's not crazy. We joke that the steam from the soup is a nice facial treatment. Lol. You can end the night with an ice cream cone and lollipop in the waiting room. I've been a few times, and I will say the first time is overwhelming with trying to figure out what to do, but after that you get more confident and interested in curating a soup that's to your taste.

Mid. Got there on a Saturday night and waited over an hour…read moreto be seated, okay, I get it. It was a Saturday so I won't knock down points for that. Once we were seated though, things went downhill. Only one person out of our four person table had done hot pot before, the rest of us were clueless. The server didn't bother to ask if we understood how to order and were super unhelpful every time we asked a question, kind of waving us off. Apparently you place an order and have to wait 20 minutes before you can place another order? What? I've been to kbbq plenty of times and have never been met with this delay. We got their original soup base and curry base. Both were mid. Not very flavorful until the very very end when we had finished cooking and were ready to leave. Maybe eating boiled meat just isn't for me, but I feel like everything was pretty bland and tasteless. The best part of the meal was the ice cream we grabbed on the way out imo. They gave us $20 off coupons randomly, said we couldn't use them that night. Probably a ploy to get us to go back, but not even with a discount like that would I go back. Straight to the trash. Save yourself and go to kbbq or the Asian buffet that's 10 min away. Disappointing night out with the fam.
