If you appreciate 'terroir' and how each environment impacts food sources uniquely; then you will appreciate the food of the Northwest. I have never experienced a raw oyster as I did that evening. I odered three on ice; all delicious but one especially just knocked me off my chair. It was so luscious and creamy, you must order it. The waiter informed me that it was a Pacific variety, but originated from Japan. We started with complimentary sour dough bread, soft and tasty. Then we shared a freshly prepared 'Classic Ceasar romaine, torn croutons, radish, Parmigiano-Reggiano, garlic-anchovy dressing This was exceptional. No bottled dressing here, hand-made and very tasty! My wife opted for the 'Fish + Chips: cider battered Pacific cod, fries, slaw, lemon' This arrived crispy and generous portions of fresh cod. Again, very well prepared. I chose the 'Sturgeon Picatta: butter-whipped yukon potatoes, lemon-caper sauce, wild mushrooms, crispy shallots persillade' If you have never tasted sturgeon, this is a must-try dish. The fish is moist and sweet tasting and has a very nice texture. All in all, we quafed local beers and enjoyed our meals immensely.

Dishes can be shared here, and our server suggested a few specialties for us to try. They also have a tasting menu but we opted for picking our own. We started with grilled oysters that were topped with kimchi butter and garlic. It was incredibly flavorful and perfectly grilled. We had the Little Gems salad, which was refreshing with the greens, radish, and green goddess sauce. The hamachi crudo is their specialty. The raw fish came with grilled pineapple and a bold and pungent fish sauce that meshed all the ingredients together cohesively for one sweet and savory dish! Absolutely recommend it! The lobster roll was absolutely delicious with bread that holds the flavors together. Cooked well and no notes here! The start of the evening was absolutely the cedar plank whole branzino. Wow, I have never been more impressed with a fish. Perfectly cooked with juicy, smoked flavors. 12/10 recommend! For dessert, we ordered an earl grey tea ice cream with blackberry, and peach sorbet. Both refreshing!

We came here because I heard they have a great seafood menu and my kids recently started enjoying oysters and other shellfish that used to be "gross". We got here about 15 minutes to opening on a Friday night and there was already a line. We were fortunate to still get a spot outside which worked out because it wasn't too hot and the outdoor space is much more spread out than inside. We ordered a dozen oysters to start. Love their various droppers with infused mignottes and hot sauces. Really made it fun to try out different combos. We also got the cold smoked mussels, the hamachi crudo, grilled oysters, lobster roll, rockfish, and the little gem salad. In order of least favorite to favorite, the little gem salad was good but just not that memorable or spetqcular the way the other dishes were. Next, the grilled oysters were flavorful with the garlic and lime but I wished there was a little more kimchi flavor and overall more sauce given the size of the oysters (they were huge!). The lobster roll was good and I appreciated the different take on a lobster roll but my favorite lobster rolls that really accentuate the lobster flavor and this masked it a little. The hamachi crudo was a surprise. It's a dish you see a lot and I was a little worried about how the pineapple might overtake the rest of the flavors but that didn't happen. The balance between sweet, savory, sour, and crunch from the peanuts was perfect and every bite was really enjoyable. Finally, my favorite was the cold smoked mussels. You never know how fish sauce and tom kha might overwhelm everything but again, their chef understands flavor balance really well. You could taste all the flavors, the smokiness, the slight bitter and sour umami flavors and slight sweetness to round it out. It was outstanding and highly recommend. They also have great cocktails that go well with their dishes. Really enjoyed the experience here and will definitely come back.

It's not cheap but that's the current chaotic economy poor working class is stuck with nowadays! I appreciate the sufficient order to pick up wait time at the window. All breading is gluten free. Flaky, thin, and well seasoned halibut! I'm not a fan of coleslaw, yet loved their flavor and freshness of it. I could tell it wasn't sitting around soggy at all. Few outside benches for the lucky good weather day I visited. Cozy indoor tables for rainy PNW weather with small yet enough variety deli options and offerings everything seafood. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff answered all my questions about their supply and shipment of each type of fish they use for fish & chip. I told a staff at the deli counter I wish they considered offer fish ceviche in the future. They have one stall restroom inside. Street parking all around the area. I'm on the search for fish & chip replacement spot in PDX area since my favor go to spot in Newport shows their ugly side in this polarized climate. Will definitely come back whenever I crave fish & chip and definitely for special occasion since I can't afford to eat out often with each meal around $30 plus 20% tip, and since I stopped going to the Newport location in November 2024 and while I continue to check out other fish & chip in metro PDX. Plus I hate using so much oil and prep time to make fish at chip at home.

I ordered the fried oysters and paid extra to add one piece of halibut. When I asked for tartar…read moresauce, I was told I had to pay an additional 75 cents. I explained that since I had ordered a piece of fish, I assumed tartar sauce would come with it. The man's response was very rude. He told me, "You shouldn't assume, because it's not." I understand that restaurants may have a charge for extra sauces, and I have no problem paying for something if that's the policy. What bothered me was the way he spoke to me. It's not the 75 cents that prompted me to write this review--it's the unnecessary attitude and lack of basic customer service. A simple, polite explanation would have made a big difference. Food was very good. Would have 5 stars.

The Kracked Crab has long been my go-to spot for seafood, especially for special occasions like…read moreanniversaries, birthdays, Mother's Day, and "push-present/s" -after birthing two of my babies. Their generous portions of crab boil--complete with potatoes, corn, sausage, and egg--have always made it feel like a great value, especially compared to other crab boil restaurants. Their Cajun butter sauce remains outstanding and is still one of my favorites. Previously located at the Happy Valley food carts, The Kracked Crab has since moved to a new location. Unfortunately, it's not immediately obvious they're in a food court setting, as the building signage only says "Sunny Sides," which made it a bit difficult to find. This was my first visit to their new location, and while I was genuinely excited to return with my daughter for a pre-movie dinner, the experience fell short of expectations. We already knew what we wanted to order--two #3 Legilicious meals--but upon arrival, there seemed to be confusion at the counter with the two groups ahead of us. The ordering process felt disorganized and lacked a sense of urgency. It appeared that the main staff member was working alone, possibly being trained by a manager or owner who was intermittently present. Our food took over 45 minutes to be prepared, which was surprising given the limited number of customers. This delay caused us to rush through our meal in order to make our movie on time. When the food finally arrived, the presentation and quality were noticeably different from past visits. The crab appeared less fresh, with some pieces looking freezer-burnt, and while the portion seemed large at first glance, much of it consisted of thinner crab legs, and a little watery. That said, the Cajun butter sauce was still excellent--rich, flavorful, and as memorable as always. A small bright spot was the care taken in packing our leftovers. The owner kindly ensured everything was sealed well so the buttery sauce wouldn't spill in the car. I especially appreciate this because I enjoy repurposing the potatoes and sausage the next morning for breakfast. Despite this less-than-stellar experience, The Kracked Crab is still my favorite seafood spot. I sincerely hope they're able to return to their previous standards in both crab quality and service speed. I'll definitely be giving them another chance.

We missed having the all you can eat crab, last year we went to one in Oregon City for fundraising…read more So, I was searching on YELP, where else can we go to get Crab Boil, and Kracked Crab came to my search, which is located in Happy Valley. We decided to try them out. We planned on having one to go, so we can enjoy them in the comfort of our home, and take our time. We were lucky we did that! We ordered one Full Catch (2 clusters, 12 shrimp, that includes potatoes, egg, sausage & corn on the cob). It was a perfect combo for two of us! We picked the Garlic Parmesan Drips. It was tasty, from beginning to end. A lot of work! It was messy! It was different and interesting. It was spendy! We've been eating the Oregon Dungeness Crab, but this was so much sweeter, you can really taste the difference! It was PERFECT!

I also got the Peruvian fries which weren't very special - McDonald's style fries with a bit of cherry tomatoes, olives, spicy mayo and the tiniest drizzle of chimichurri. The toppings weren't enough and they were not mixed just on the top layer so after the first few bites you are left with just regular McDonald's fries. The plus is they are open late (weekends).

The way the restaurant entrance is situated facing the parking lot along with the minimal lights/signage make it easily seem like it's closed for the night, but they definitely open until 2:30 AM. It's a pretty strange layout and atmosphere with a sparse layout of basic tables and chairs in what you'd imagine a linoleum lined basement bonus room would feel like. On the way to the restrooms are a bank of video slots that folks can play. Not sure who comes here for that. Other decor consists of just a number of empty Hennessy bottles. Service is pretty minimal and the menu is fairly basic and straight forward. I had the bun bo hue and fish sauce wings which both were tasty given the hour of night and hunger I was experiencing. Overall it's the vibe and atmosphere that brings this place down. Otherwise good for a late night option.

The workers are very polite and had a nice spread of some remixed throwback music that reminded me of when I was younger and playing ddr and whatnot. A lot of the food is very appetizer/shareable style. If I didn't have a baby, I would definitely come here with buddies for a drink and some tasty plates. The garlic butter snails were very good. The flavor and sauce on the shells were super tasty and sweet. The sauce soaks into the shell very well too so the snail is also super tasty. The fish sauce wings were crispy and really sweet and flavorful. The Thai seafood hotpot didn't have the best broth flavor tasting almost alittle bitter but once we added in the sauce from the clams in, it was pretty good. There was a decent amount of seafood In there as well. The salt and pepper squid were big long pieces of squid which I typically prefer the smaller more crispy pieces.

Don't bother unless you are staying at the hotel and have food & beverage credits. We stayed here…read morethrough the Amex FHR so we got $100 food credits + 20% discount and free breakfast up to $60. Food is good but the Portland food scene is strong so you can get something similar for cheaper and with better service, because the service is terrible here and they do an automatic 22% service charge which is not deserving for the poor service The restaurant has a cozy interior and a beautiful exterior with river views, and we opted indoors as there were mosquitoes outside and we did not bring bug spray. For dinner, we had lobster bisque with sourdough, ahi tostadas, octopus a la plancha, and hazelnut sturgeon with gigantic beans. The lobster bisque was okay, not creamy and felt more like a tomato soup with lobster chunks. Ahi tostadas were incredibly tiny - 3 pieces for $15. The octopus was good but only a few pieces with lots of potatoes inside - again value not there. The sturgeon was delicious but the beans were a bit rough. Decently executed but $44 for this is quite steep. One plus is that we ate right after social hour where hotel guests get free small bites and various wines that is more or less unlimited so that saved a bit of money on alcohol For breakfast, we had a mushroom hash which was very salty. The King Tide omelette was delicious - egg was a bit overcooked but the inside is creamy with a good amount of lobster - which it has to be for $32. We also got lemon ricotta donuts freshly fried which was also delicious. Service is where the reviews tank. If they are charging such high prices, the service must be amazing. However, it felt quite the opposite. During dinner, no one took away plates and so we ended up presented the bill with dirty plates stacked high on the table - very unclassy look. It took a while to flag the server down. For breakfast, most of the tables are empty but they forced us to wait 15 minutes at the sofa which was occupied so we had to awkwardly stand the whole duration. It would have been better if they seated us with menus and give us a heads up they are backed up and would need some time to serve us, so that way we can decide what to order in the meanwhile. Also, unlike the other tables, they never proactively gave water. Such huge misses in service felt like they are complacent that they get the 22% service charge and not try...
