Good drinks
Robert K.

Good place to relax and play some video poker. Good service and good food. There's always really nice people here. On the weekends there karaoke in hand back room of the bar. When ever I am in hood river I usually come here. It's slot of fun.

Satisfied with our meal. I would recommend this place if interested in Chinese food. Pros: Food was satisfied. Hosts provided good service and an authentic Chinese ordering experience. Huge portions. Great value for the money. Immediate seating. Locals seem to frequent the place. Cons: The bathroom was a bit grungy, but did not smell. Not the prettiest interior. Let's be honest, it isn't a ritzy place. The food isn't gourmet. It's good ole fashioned Chinese food served by Chinese speaking service people. It filled my belly with much needed food and I would go there again. There was a nostalgic pre-snobby feel to the place that added to my enjoyment. It wasn't pretending to be anything other than "here's your food, enjoy".

"General tso" chicken
Aaron J.

Hood rivers Chinese food scene is subpar. Figured I would try this place since the panda one wasn't good. Ordered take out. General tso chicken and pan fried noodles. Pretty fast actually. 12 minutes. Opened up the chicken first, looked alright but the breading was falling off. Kinda looked left over. Sauce seemed like a sweet and sour doused in red chili flakes. Was a bit too sweet compared to most I've had. Then the noodles. Honestly looked like top Ramen that was pan fried. They seemed better than the chicken. I know its take out but the soy sauce tasted cheap. 27$ for 2 things. Might have been better after a few drinks but definitely disappointing.

Number 9 with pan fried noodles
John W.

3.5 - 3.75 stars American-Chinese food isn't authentic but authentic has nothing to do with whether a food is good. I've eaten at enough authentic Chinese restaurants to know that to be true. Some are as authentic as you can get but are simply not good. Authentic does not equal good. If American-Chinese food had been invented recently it would be called "fusion" :) I order the #9 Combination with pan fried noodles at the Hood River Restaurant and enjoy it every time. The pork chow mein with pan fried noodles is nicely done and like how Chinese restaurants used to make it but seem to have forgotten how to. The authentic ones now deep fry the noodles or pan fry them crispy, however this restaurant makes them perfectly and lightly fried. The BBQ pork is like how most restaurants in Oregon make it, very lean (too lean). It's still good though -- tender meat with good flavor. The other items, sweet and sour pork, pork fried rice and the soup, are decent and complement the meal. Service is always friendly and attentive.

Contact Information and TAKEOUT hours. NOT open for sit down meals.

I'd give Riverside Restaurant a solid 4.5 stars based on our breakfast visit…read more I ordered the chilaquiles, and they were excellent, flavorful, still pleasantly crunchy where they should be, and just a really strong version of the dish. Definitely the standout of the table for me. Service was friendly and expedient, which I always appreciate in the morning when everyone is trying to get caffeinated and out the door. My companions ordered the protein bowl, which was a hearty mix of grains and grilled vegetables with your choice of tofu or egg. It leaned a little bland flavor-wise, but it did exactly what it needed to do: provided a filling, healthy base for a full day of activity in Hood River. Not every dish was a knockout, but overall it was a very solid breakfast spot with fair pricing at about $18 per dish.

We arrived at about 4:40 pm. Their happy hour runs until 5:00 pm. We asked the server about…read moreordering off the happyhour menu and he said we couldn't. One of the members of our group told him that she was told that we could order until 5:00 pm. Server said OK and left. He didn't come back until after 5:00 and took the happy hour menus and said we couldn't order off of that menu. It was pretty much down hill from there on for me. The food was OK nothing to write home about. I had lemonade for dinner it was $6.00 a glass and if you wanted another glass it was 6.00 again. They also included the tip on your bill and it was 22%. The server did not earn that high of a tip.

Went here for the first time last night and am highly impressed! Chef Ben Stenn has created a true…read morefine dining experience with Celilo. The atmosphere is casual and inviting but the food, both quality and presentation, steals the show. We tried a gin cocktail that was as beautiful as it was inventive. We followed this with the brussel sprouts salad which was lightly roasted but still tasted and looked green in the most delightful way, with some kind of light dressing that celebrates the vegetables in the salad medley without overpowering them. We took Calvin's recommendation and ordered the special which was a three mushroom fettuccine: it was perfection. The pasta was served al dente, the mushrooms included shitake, hedgehog, and one other and all had a unique flavor that stood out with each bite. The pasta sauce was buttery but somehow almost effervescent, embracing but not suffocating, with just enough cheese to know it's there but not enough to have it overpower the dish. At this point we didn't think the meal could get any better but then we ordered the pear, huckleberry, and pluot sorbet made at Celilo and we're now committed to coming back. The sorbet featured locally sourced Bosc pears and that flavor may have been my favorite as it was unlike any other sorbet I have ever tasted. All were sweet but complex. Simply an amazing dining experience that I recommend to anyone fortunate enough to get a table here!

Ordered cheese plate and uncharged for gluten free crackers. My husbands burger was dry and tasteless and very small. The fries were delicious though. I ordered Italian sausage pasta with gluten free pasta. The gluten free pasta was decent but it came with cooked radishes, who cooks radishes?? And a baby boy choy on top very strange combination. We had rhubarb ice cream for dessert very tasty but again the rude bartender was only going to give us one scoop to share until he informed us that it was served in a tiny espresso cup so luckily we ordered our own. Will not go back.

Not a friendly place for large groups…read more We were really the only group of people in there and I thought we'd get good service because of that. Our group came in two chunks and the host seemed annoyed by that. They pushed together another table and sat us together. It was kinda stuffy in the place so I opened up a window as it needed some fresh air. I was told it would possibly mess up the airflow of their kitchen? Some of us decided to split from the main group and sit out on the patio because of the stuffiness. The menu is for carnivores with a veggie burger and grill cheese for vegetarians but not really anything but chips and salsa for vegans. We also found out they only take 1 credit card and cash and no split bills. We were a large group of 14 people. It was a huge pain in the rear to figure out the mess. Honestly some of our party left and went elsewhere when they find that out. Not everyone had enough cash to cover them. When my burger came out they served it to the wrong person and we didn't figure it out for at least 10 minutes. So I got an already eaten plate. It was ok but they should be able to know who ordered what. Our waitress seemed annoyed by us and honestly not that friendly. My burger was overcooked and tasted like cardboard. There were no condiments like mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise on the table. We had to go get some. Just not a good experience here. I won't be back. I ordered my burger and fries and asked for it cooked medium.

I've never had a bad meal at this delicious restaurant! The service is always friendly too.read more
