The chicken to be fair was fried well. It seemed promising but $7 for a plate of plain fries?? And after taking a bite, I had to keep trying to find flavor in every bite but i was only left to be disappointed. I really hoped this place was going to be good but was lead on by other reviews with not the same taste buds i guess. And even if it was tasty, the prices are outrageous for what it is...

I went over to get their Hamburger Week special from last year that they had on for just three days on their menu again. It is a delicious burger, Angus beef with crispy fried onion rings and a Hong Kong-style pepper sauce. Just every bite so delicious that it doesn't even need any cheese! Go and say hello to your new neighbors and or just drive from the other end of town to show them some love. Moving is always such a headache we all know that but for a food cart it literally about surviving so let's make sure hawkers station does that.

If you like chicken rice bowl, this is the place to get a nice serving with well cooked chicken…read morethat's tender. The owner is always friendly and nice, and they have a variety of versions. I would say their hainan chicken is probably the best, because you get the simple clean taste of the well cooked chicken that's tender. They even take out most of the bone so makes it easier to eat. The rice is really well seasoned and it's served with broth and two types of dipping sauce (one kind of a soy sauce and another seemed like nuoc nam). The shoyu chicken is also good if you're wanting more savoriness. Because I'm from Hawaii, I was interested in the teriyaki chicken, but I felt the teriyaki sauce was a bit on the wet side, and not as much a glaze like the way I usually find it in Hawaii. It's also the only chicken bowl that has a decent amount of veggies since it comes on a bed of undressed slaw on top of rice. There's also a braised pork belly rice bowl that is tasty and tender, but also very brown (meaning no real veggies on the side). Like I said, I think chicken is the way to go because they really treat the chicken well.

Each bowl we explored showed depth, balance, and technique, from the richness of the broth to the precision in every topping.

It's clear there's intention and skill behind every plate that leaves the kitchen. Respect to the chef and the entire team for turning out food that speaks for itself. Cheers The Dutchman

Came here after seeing a YouTube video raving about how incredible this place is, but the reality…read morewas a huge disappointment. From the second my partner and I walked in at 4:30 PM, we were greeted by a server who made it immediately clear we were bothering them. When seated, I asked for a dinner menu thinking they'd given us a lunch menu by mistake. I was told dinner doesn't start until 5:00 PM (something listed nowhere online, despite their online presence highlighting all their dinner options). And since when does lunch run up until 5pm? The latest I've ever seen is 3 or 4. The final straw was asking about the only vegan option on the menu, which was labeled "spicy." When I asked how spicy it was, the same server gave a completely patronizing response: "I'm not sure your level of spice..." My partner and I looked at each other in shock at how openly rude this person was. We got up, picked up our stuff, and walked out before ordering. I'm 51 years old, and I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I've walked out of a restaurant due to bad service before even getting food. Sadly, this was one of them. The gap between how great this place was portrayed online and how poorly we were treated in person was staggering.

I also tried my boyfriend's Moon Age Daydream which is a lighter yuzu gin based cocktail if you're looking for something sweeter and more fruity.

I came here for dinner one day with a friend and had a pleasant time. While the inside of the…read morerestaurant is spacious, and beautifully decorated, their parking space is really small and there are limited spots. You'll likely have to find street parking as we did. Service here was attentive and kind. My friend and I wanted to try a variety of dishes, so we ordered the Crispy Potatoes, Silken Ota Tofu, Chicken and Oregon Black Truffle Wontons, Hand-pulled Cabbage, and Ribeye Bulgogi. While this spot was good, I would definitely say that it is more Asian fusion than Chinese. I thought that the crispy potatoes and silken ota tofu were good but there was nothing super special about them. I was really excited about the chicken and Oregon black truffle wontons but was a bit underwhelmed by the lack of truffle flavor in the wontons we got. The bulgogi was pretty good, and I would say that the cabbage was my favorite dish with how prominent the flavors of Sichuan peppercorn and lap cheong were. Overall, not a bad spot for a dinner.

We dropped by Warsugai on a weekend as soon as they opened for dinner -- a bit odd in terms of timing but we'd been dying to try it and didn't realize they weren't open for lunch. We were seated right away since we were the only ones in, but service was super friendly and attentive. First off, the interior is so cute! It's unassuming from the outside but the interior feels so fun and quirky yet warm. 10/10 aesthetics. Now let's get down to the food; as always, husband the omnivore got the almond fried chicken and we shared a mix of other things including the crispy potatoes, silken ota tofu, french onion korokke, taishan cauliflower, and the summer chard. I was tempted to try the bokkeum bap aka the vegetarian main but I felt like there was more than enough for me to try from our shared dishes that I opted not to get it. The potatoes totally took us by surprise with how thin, crispy and yummy they were. If you go, you must get the potatoes, trust me. The silken ota tofu was good; nice and mild but could have used a touch more of the sauce. The korokke was surprisingly underwhelming so idk if I'd really get it again but not bad by any means. Just a bit on the blander side in regards to flavor. The veggies were all so so so good and my husband couldn't resist grabbing a cauliflower between all of his bites of almond fried chicken -- which per his review was good af. All in all, this is a super cute spot with a mix of vegetarian and meat options --I would highly recommend trying it if you're in the area!

Also indoor seating and water station available inside the attached brewery. Ok, back to the food which is probably why you are here. That and some hearty happy f bombs with your order (if you are apt to be offended by salty language, have a friend order for you.) The crunch wrap is as big as my head. No really. Three of us ended up enjoying it because there was no way I could eat more than half of it before the tortilla lost its lovely crispness. A little spicy, lots of flavor, and enough lettuce to make it feel like a well balanced meal . Bakon smash burger and chickn Sammie both crunchy greasy deliciousness.

I was looking for food nearby and came across this restaurant. The food was surprisingly delicious! We ordered the chicken katsu curry, kama-age udon (hokkai miso soup), and the kama-meshi seafood. The chicken katsu was cooked perfectly: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside! The sauce also was the perfect texture and taste. My favorite was the kama-age udon with the hokkai miso soup. I love udon but sometimes don't like how thick it is because it fills you up faster and is harder to digest, the udon here is thinner which I fell in love with! It's soft and chewy and the perfect thickness: you dip it on the soup when you eat it. I also loved the soup, I usually have leftover soup when eat noodles, but I finished every last sip! Definitely recommend this dish if you were to only order one item! We also ordered the kama-meshi seafood. I thought this one tasted okay! The flavors of the seafood come through, but I personally like stronger and heavier flavors. It was worth a try! Parking: This restaurant is in downtown portland so it was difficult to find parking. We ended up parking at a nearby garage and paid for parking. They do have a few street parking spots near the restaurant if you want to test your luck! Seating and service: We were seated really quickly as we went on a weekday! They have several tables and a large table that can be reserved as well as bar spots. The restaurant overall looks really nice and is pretty spacious. The servers were really nice and fast to get you what you need! A side note: they have heated toilet seats in their restroom so that's always a plus!
