    Tarantula Roll, 12 Piece Sushi Combo
    Kristen K.

    One of our favorite sushi takeout places while in Portland. They don't have dine in right now. We got the 12 piece and tarantula roll. We really liked the tarantula roll which had a fantastic mix of flavors and didn't skimp on the ingredients. One thing to note is they went a little heavy on the wasabi when making the nigiri pieces. Just to be aware.

    Happy Hour goodness

    I've only been here twice so far, both times for takeout, but both experiences have been stellar! I ordered some sushi and crab rangoons the first time around, and I had a drink at the bar while waiting. Drink was perfect. Atmosphere is relaxed. The sushi chef talked to me while I was hanging out at the bar, made me feel comfortable, as did the waitresses who were on that night as well. They were all super friendly and attentive. Second time I got Beef Sukiyaki for lunch takeout. OH MY GOD. The broth in this dish was amazinnnnnnng. I would have taken an entire bowl of the broth with nothing in it, it's that good. But with the addition of the tofu, veggies, beef, and nooldes, this dish is out of this world. I will DEFINITELY be ordering this again. Overall great little sushi joint. Pricing is pretty on par with other restaurants of similar quality (not super cheap, but not super expensive). What I really like about this place is how close it is to my house and the fact that I don't have to go downtown to get sushi unless I really want to. The parking situation could be a little better (there are only a few spots and these are shared with Papa Johns), but really other than that I have no complaints. They have Happy Hour from 330-7, with discounted drinks and $3.75 maki rolls! I will be back soon to test that out :)

    Asian karaoke is the best
    Brett F.

    Last night a few friends and I had a couple of beers and, of course, had an irresistible urge to sing karaoke. A google search brought up Ginza Town. After much head scratching about what a Ginza is (a district in Tokyo), we called around 9 pm. The woman who answered said that they close at 10 but would stay open for us. Perfect! Ginza Town is next to Papa Johns on Forest Ave, not far from the Samuels area. It's one of those places you drive by hundreds of times and never know exist. We got there around 9:15 on a Friday and there was one other large party celebrating a birthday. The owner also was celebrating his birthday and joined the other party. He didn't speak English but brought us a free bottle of Sake. I loved this place already. Ginza Town for me is "Bubba's Awesome." Meaning it's probably terrible but I love it. [4/2/16 Edit: the food rocks! Nothing is terrible about this place at all!] Wireless mics are hooked up to a decent sound system and a flat screen tv. They play karaoke from Youtube, which sounds like it would be awful but worked extraordinarily well. Before long we were best friends with the large party, belting cheesy 80s ballads while chugging $3.75 containers of Sake. Considering each one held 3.5 Sake shots, it's a killer value. We had already eaten, but the other party must have had the entire menu brought on platters to their table. It looked and smelled amazing and I was able to try the chicken wings and duck breast. Very tasty. I will definitely be coming back for food. So, awesome karaoke in an Asian restaurant/bar with dirt cheap Sake on Forest Ave? I know, it sounds too good to be true, but luckily it's not.

    Happy hour only on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesday's :/
    Nina L.

    I was conflicted between choosing between my go to sushi spot or trying out Ginza Town for the first time. My boyfriend and I decided on Ginza, and I think we found our new cheap sushi place. We came around lunch time on a Wednesday and was told that we could choose where we'd like to sit. The waitress gave us a menu and brought out waters immediately. The menu selection is pretty big ranging from Vietnamese pho, hot pot, and sushi. My boyfriend got the bento box lunch special with beef teriyaki, gyoza, wakame (seaweed salad), and a spicy tuna roll. I decided on the 3 deluxe sushi rolls with a spicy crunchy tuna, an eel, and a spicy crunchy scallop. As we waited for the food to come out, we saw that they have happy hours from 3:30-6. Was kind of disappointed when we found out they only have it on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesday evenings :/ The food came out pretty quickly since there was only one other group besides us. (Each of our meals also came with miso soups)My boyfriend absolutely loved his bento box. The gyozas were pretty standard but yummy, and, although he didn't like it, I loved the seaweed salad. The tuna didn't seem that fresh if I'm going to be completely honest... it had a greyish tint to it and wasn't that pink/red. The eel roll was yummy, but what will have me coming back will be the spicy crunchy scallop. This was mine and my boyfriend's favorite part of the whole meal. Each roll came with 8 pieces, and they filled me up. We were both stuffed by the end of it. Wish they'd offer happy hour a on Thursdays as well but I'll have to come back another time to get some of the shumai and crap ragoons. Update: I feel like every time I come here there's something that always pops up that kind of gives me a "hmmm" thought... Since quarantine, this has been one of the only sushi spots (that I usually eat at) that's still doing take out. I typically get the deluxe three roll combo lunch deal with two spicy crunchy scallops and a spicy crunchy tuna roll. What I like about this place that stands out from other sushi spots is that Ginza has 8 pieces in each roll opposed to 6 (which is the typical size of a majority of other restaurants), so I feel like I'm getting more bang for my buck. I love eating tuna rolls (they're my favorite), but there is something off with the tuna rolls here, and I feel that it is not as fresh as other spots in Portland. I now get two spicy crunchy scallops and one eel roll in the three roll combo for $12 and change, and it never fails to be delicious! I don't know what it is about their scallop rolls, but it always has me coming back for more. I love the crunchy bits in the rolls, and the spicy mayo always sends me to another universe. For $12?? Yes please!

    I have been here numerous times for take out. They have a no nonsense menu of classic "American"…read moreAsian foods like fried rice and pad thai for very reasonable prices and great quantities. I come here particularly for the rice dishes because they make them to taste as you would expect! They don't do anything fancy or special but there's enough of that in Portland tbh Atmosphere is fun with a counter to order but also an Asian grocery store with 2 aisles. Parking is street parking nearby (no dedicated parking lot) - but I've never had trouble finding a spot I will definitely be back to get comfort food vibe Asian food for prices that are very reasonable. I recommend!!

This was the first time I had tried that dish, and it was absolutely incredible. It had an incredibly nuanced flavor profile with spice, some zing, and saltiness. The portion was quite large but still easy to finish due to how delicious it was. LOL! The only sad part was that the Drunken Noodle was much too sweet, which is not what I am typically used to. Tom Yum was nice and warm with a pleasant taste. Not my favorite Tom Yum but still very comforting. The staff there were very kind and sweet. Many people appeared to have ordered take out, but if you decide to eat there like us, then there are a few tables for you to choose from. Overall, great food for a great price! Pretty quiet and lowkey spot to have lunch or dinner.

    Moving to Portland from Philadelphia, it's been a challenge to find a good Vietnamese restaurant…read more We tried one in Biddeford that was a major disappointment. Next, we had Pho at a place in Westbrook that came fairly-highly rated. It was sub-par. So, we arrived at Thanh Thanh 2 with low expectations. We were, however, very pleasantly surprised. We had three things: spring rolls, egg rolls and Pho with flank steak and beef tendon. Both rolls acquitted themselves well, although the accompanying dipping sauces were lacking. The sauce for the spring rolls was not homemade--a basic, out-of-the-jar peanut sauce. The one for the egg rolls looked to be made from scratch, but was relatively bland, and did little to complement the roll. The star was the Pho. Although not the best we've ever had, it was very good. The broth was light, but full of flavor with a touch of sweetness. One criticism: I wish they had brought rare flank to the table, so that we could add it to the piping hot broth. My boyfriend had a Vietnamese coffee, which was tasty, but not served at the table with a phin (drip coffee maker). Overall, it was enjoyable and we won't hesitate to return!

    I've been going to this Vietnamese restaurant for 20 years and the food has been consistently good…read moreevery time. The decor has not been updated the entire time I've been coming here.

Service was quick and we liked how lunch service was set up - fast casual where you order at the counter and they bring the food up to you.

So, when Oun Lido's started showing up on the "best" of Portland lists, I listened. This week, with my spouse and my BFF, we ate Cambodian food! You know what, it is similar to Vietnamese, Malaysian, Indonesian cuisines - has a similarity to Chinese (not too close) BUT it is prepared differently and uses distinctly different spices and combinations of ingredients. It was delicious! We started out with the Shrimp Fresh Roll and the Hot Lemon Chicken. The Shrimp Fresh Roll was not so remarkable but the sauce it was served with was DIVINE, definitely the diva of this dish!!! A little bit of sweet, sour, citrus, vinegar, heat and a whole lot of luxurious. We could not stop eating the sauce. The hot lemon chicken was likewise perfectly prepared. The heat and the lemon were subtle - sparking taste buds as the chicken rolled around on our tongues. The breading was perfect - twice fried but no grease at all. Just moist, tasty chicken with crispness on the outside of each piece of chicken. I am quite certain that the 3 of us wish we had all of this appetizer all to ourselves. For my main course, I had the Mee Katang - wide noodles in a smoky sauce served with some of the softest braised short rib meat I have ever eaten. The sauce - again the sauce - was outstanding! It had a smokiness and sourness that, while that combo does not sound good, was GREAT! A delicious dish that made me lap up every bit of it. My spouse and BFF got the Loc Lac - shaken, shaved beef. They ate every bite too. We are still wondering why the beef was "shaken." The food was an experience, a great experience. The service too was very good. Our server, Amelia, was cute, delightful, and helpful. The rest of the restaurant, not so much. The dining room is decorated with what looks like 2nd hand items collected from garage sales. Some of the seats are benches. The dining room is kind of a bummer. I get it, this restaurant might be geared to a crowd younger than me, my spouse and my BFF. But the dining room was a bit of a turn off, a second or perhaps third thought. While I appreciate that all the focus was on the food, the atmosphere is a let down. I really wanted to see some Cambodian stuff on the walls. It's a Cambodian restaurant for gosh sakes - how about a map or a drawing or something to give it context. The website needs to be completely re-done. It is not helpful and, in fact, almost turned us off from going there. This is a hard review for me to write. I love the food here but the rest of the dining experience does not live up to that spectacular food. Will I go back? Not sure. I might crave the sauce for the shrimp roll and the sauce on the short rib entree. But, other than those things, there is little to bring me back here. I almost gave Oun Lido's 3 stars because of the overall reaction to the entire restaurant. But only 3 stars would be a dis-service to the food. The food at Oun Lido's is GREAT!!!
