Had the opportunity to try Thai Carnation Restaurant with my coworkers and babyyyy... NEW FAVORITE…read moreTHAI SPOT unlocked First of all, why do you have to be so far from me?! Because I will be back. We started off strong with a table full of appetizers. It was one of those "everyone grab something" moments, and listen... I had been up since 6am, starving, and completely forgot to take pictures until it was basically too late. But trust me, that alone should tell you how good it was. Crab puffs? Gone. Creamy, crispy perfection. Fried spring rolls? Devoured without hesitation. But that salt and pepper shrimp?? LISTEN. It tasted like somebody's grandma was in the back cooking with love. I could've eaten that as my full meal 10 times over and still asked for more. Then came the angel wings... OMG. At this point I was already full, borderline mad about it, because I wanted to keep eating. And I'm not usually a leftovers person....but these? Plus that one last shrimp sitting there? Oh no... they came home with me. And the best part? EVERYONE loved their food. No misses at the table. If you're debating, don't. Just go. And go hungry.

Decided to try this place for the first time. It is located at the Gresham food carts on Burnside…read more I went with the teriyaki chicken. It was $12 the man working was very nice and my food came in about 10 minutes. The order comes with teriyaki chicken, rice and Maccaroni salad. The serving size was ok. The chicken was good but needed more char it was missing that grilled flavor. The Maccaroni salad was good and seemed fresh. But the rice was not up to par, it was very dry and seemed old, not good at all. So thus the 3 stars not great not horrible.

Very good, ate here 3 times so far…read more Pineapple crispy chicken was amazing, the orange version also really good. Perfect crispy, not soggy and great flavor.

Not sure if we came at a bad day, but the ambience and food this time didn't match all the praise…read moreand callouts from my research (making it seem like we had inadvertently come to the wrong location). There were some good food choices, but some bad ones too (including some listed on their on-line menu that wasn't available), and the service was the opposite of friendly. Fork and Spoon was listed as one of the best Filipino restaurants in the Portland area. I wanted to go some place where the food was made-to-order. After looking at their really colorful and put together website, saw that they had dishes like Humba and Champurrado, along with what looked like Chicken Inasal. We found free street parking right in front. I noticed the sign that stated no public bathroom was available. The inside was very quiet, with one couple quieting eating their food, and an older non-customer gentleman minding his own business. We were taken to a table near a window, and given a menu. It's a very simple one, and none of the dishes I was looking for were listed. I asked the hostess/server about it, and she just shrugged and basically told me she had no idea. Yeah... So I reset, and ordered the things that we always order at a Filipino restaurant. COMBO Meal ($23) - Consisting of Pork Adobo, Rice, Bihon style pancit, and shangahi lumpia. The steamed rice was excellent...sounds goofy to say, but have had so much bad white rice at restaurants lately. The pork adobo was good, using very fatty pieces of pork, but cooked to be very tender without being mushy, and the strong sauce was great over the rice. I liked the pancit, with the large vegetable pieces and it worked since it had been made-to-order. But the lumpia was bad: it had been deep fried from frozen, and the center was still cold. Plus, the meat had been ground too finely, causing the filling to be mealy. Pork BBQ Skewer ($17) - three skewers of pork barbeque. It was thinly sliced and expertly skewered, but that's where the goodness ended. The sauce wasn't good, just a very weak teriyaki type sauce. The meat had quite a bit of gristle (which is OK with me if it has flavor, but this did not). It had been cooked on a flattop grill so missed the charring of the meat over fire. It just tasted old, like it had been reheated Have no idea why this is $17...the price fooled me into thinking this would be a 'deluxe' version of this classic...should be closer to $7.50, especially since it was served as an app (no rice or sides). Halo-Halo ($9) - a shareable ice cream dish, topped with a scoop of really good ube ice cream and a shower of fruity pebbles. It came with a piece of leche flan and various sweet beans and jelly at the bottom. I really liked this. My only wish was that it was made with shaved ice instead of crushed ice, but I understand it can be too time consuming. It just felt like we came to a place on a day (or time) when everyone was just trying to get through the day. The prices were good (except for the BBQ), and the portions decent. But along with unfriendly service and the hit/miss taste, it's a place I wouldn't go out of my way for (even though I love the name and their website).

I got the 2 plate which contains the Teriyaki Chicken and the Kalua Pig , the plate also comes with 2 scoops of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. The Kalua Pork was very delicious! It was juicy and was savory. The Teriyaki chicken was great as well! They provide sauce and they recommend this clear sauce that you put on the pork which provides even more flavor to the pork. I've come here a few times within this month and will continue to come here when I get the chance !

Very happy to find some good Hawaiian food in this area!…read moreDefinitely stop by if this is the type of food you're craving. Ordered the Spicy Shoyu Chicken and was very satisfied with the result. Food was piping hot, full of flavor and a very generous portion. It came with a lot of rice, but just to be clear there was more chicken than I could eat in a single sitting. They also included an extra sauce in my meal which I thought was very on point. I mean you gotta do something with all the left over rice and with that extra sauce you can certainly make sure it has as much flavor as you could possibly want. I'll definitely be hitting this spot up more in the future and I hope it gets the attention it deserves, cause it left me wanting more and I bet it'll do the same for you! Thanks Lei'd Back!
