The past several times I've been, the food quality just is not what it used to be. Not easy to explain but just not great anymore. A Cpl dishes were so salty it was almost shocking on the first bite. The most disappointing thing was that my younger sister visited from Vermont. She's a vegetarian and before she got here. I talked this place up pretty big. Unfortunately, when I took her there, the buffet was in very sad shape. You can tell the food had just been sitting out and wasn't particularly even warm. Looked dry on the edges and just tired looking. When I asked if they were bringing more food out because about 50% of the trays looked like they had about one scoop left in them, one of the guys motion to someone else to start bringing out some more food. I understand not wasting food, but this is at about 1:15 in the afternoon so really not that close to when they would normally clean the lunch buffet up. I don't know. The whole experience was just overall kind of sad. I was really hoping my sister would enjoy it by the less they are feeling like I need to apologize. The service was also pretty much nonexistent. We were barely greeted and sent down to find our own seat. Never offered anything to drink, and when I was walking to the buffet, I asked if someone could come take her drink orders about 10 minutes into a meal. Just didn't seem like anyone cared at all that we were there. I don't know if it's new ownership or management or what. Maybe they need to replace their chef. I hope it comes back to the quality that it once was though because I really want to still love taj!

I absolutely adore this Thai food truck! I've started following them at the NWX farmer's market…read more When they decided to expand and set up a food truck at the Bend RV Resort I was more than excited!! I knew I was able to get my favorite dishes more often. It's not traditional Thai dishes that everyone is familiar with, it's better! The dishes here are curated right from the heart and is more typical of something you would find if you were traveling Thailand and looking for something out of the box. One of my favorite appetizers is the egg bombs. They are little quail eggs wrapped with a wonton wrapper. It's deep fried and served with sweet and sour sauce. Delightfully delicious. I've tried everything from here and my favorite dish of all is their pad kra pow. You can choose your favorite protein from shrimp, chicken, tofu or pork belly. Whichever one you chose, you will not be disappointed. I recommend getting a side of their spicy sauce too! Atima is the friendliest person you can meet and when she has here mom with her it's the ultimate team. Try them if you are on your way in or out of town. The dishes are the best after a long road trip.

I ordered the sesame chicken and my wife ordered shrimp with vegetables. I knew we were in for a treat when the egg rolls came out. They were clearly freshly made on site rather than the typical frozen crap most places serve. Hot/sour soup same. But, for me, the big treat was the sesame chicken. Perfectly flash fried -- I've searched for years for sesame chicken as good as the old Chen's China Clipper in Beaverton. I have now found it! My wife's shrimp was also delicious. Portions are large (took half home). Check this place out! So worth the trip!

We were greeted and seated right away and they had a wide range of dishes and drinks to choose from. I had the special combination sandwich which I was surprised the size is way bigger than what normally is served and I could eat only half the sandwich. The pate and bbq pork meat was good the bbq pork meat was marinated with a great flavor. The sliced carrots & daikon vegetables normally is pickled, but this one didn't seemed pickled. Overall it was good. My wife had the tendon pho which she enjoyed broth, but didn't care for the type of noodles they used it was different from other pho restaurants. Servers were very good and quick. Restroom were clean and well maintained, even had hot water and cold water for hand washing normally most other place has only cold water.

The service was very friendly!

Well we got there and the line was insane so through the little alley I saw dump city! I said "guys let's get dumplings!!" About half of us went over there and it was the 100% right move! There was one guy in there having a beer. We ordered the lamb dumplings, the elote, a pizza dumpling and the crab Rangoons along with some beers. Service was quickly, friendly, and great! Dumplings came out very quick which was awesome!! The lamb and elote were both good. I think I preferred the lamb. The elote tasted like a burrito it was good but lamb was my favorite. The pizza dumpling fell flat of my expectations. It was literally a bunch of multi cheese in dough. I wish there had been pizza sauce in the dumpling to make it feel more like pizza. The crab Rangoon's were good. The texture and filling seemed different from normal Rangoon's but overall delightful. The highlight of this restaurant to me had to have been the giant gong at the entrance. It had a little sign that told you how to hit it, which I did obviously. Overall, great find and they had merch on the wall. We meant to buy some, but we totally forgot. Wish you could order it online.

This time we got the Caviar Juk ($20), Caviar Ppang ($20), two mocktails: Watermelon Basil and Apple a day ($8 each), and the Oli main ($32). Caviar Juk is still elite. The Caviar Ppang is also very good, the foie adds a great fattiness to the brine of the caviar. The duck was tender and rice was interesting and fruity. Both mocktails were also great. Watermelon Basil is sweet and tart. Apple a day is like a pear juice, so good. The no longer have the kimchi bread anymore, I almost cried.

Unfortunately, the dish I ordered was not tasty to me. I got the Bibimbap, which is a dish I've had at other Korean restaurants. By comparison, the one at Yoli was dry with a very unusual taste I couldn't quite place. The meat was almost non existent... very little at all in the bowl, which was mostly rice. And while the rice was good, it lacked any kind of sauce or added flavor. I don't think I'll return.
