Anyone who really knows me knows that I have an unusual infatuation with clam chowders!!! I also need them to taste a certain way, according to my personally palette. Whenever I'm passing through PDX, I always have to stop and grab some chowder from Mo's! So delicious, creamy, and it just hits the spot. Especially when you can get it in a big warm bread bowl. The staff is always friendly service is pretty quick. There's a nice large seating area for the food court so you can relax and enjoy and there's always usually live entertainment by either a pianist or vocalist with a guitar. Don't forget to grab a mimosa while you're waiting! lol read more

Stopped in for a quick bowl of chowder. The chowder was good and it was super hot. It came with crackers and you can get some tobasco sauce at the counter. There was tons of butter on top of the chowder in the bowl. I had to use my napkins to soak up some of that butter myself. The chowder itself was pretty good. It had tons so soft creamy potatoes on it and very little clams. If there were more clams and less potatoes that would have been better. Overall it was not too bad. I love Moe's and will come back again sometime. read more

Was in a hurry in between flights at the airport and wanted clam chowder so thought to give it a try! There are 3 bowl sizes. Regular, large (12 oz) and extra large (16 oz) . Each comes w saltine crackers. The clam chowder was good and had lots of ingredients. Each scoop had tons of food. But the only thing was I thought there were too much potatoes. I barely found clams. And the garlic bread was yummy too! read more

We landed at the Portland Airport at 7:30 this morning. I checked out this joint's menu last night from home. Known for their clam chowder, of course I was going to have to get some even though its 7:30 in the morning. This place was popping for being a early as it was! They had so many people waiting for orders and waiting to order. Besides the clam chowder, they offer a variety of breakfast items which is cool. Breakfast bagels, breakfast burritos, biscuits and gravy. I got myself a small clam chowder. I was still full from my yogurt cup from earlier or I totally would have gotten the bread bowl. I snagged the biscuits and gravy for my husband. Biscuits and gravy is always a safe bet for my husband. Our food came out hot! And honestly, when I opened my soup cup and saw all the seasoning on top, I was worried about it being overwhelming. I was wrong. The seasoning was a great addition to the soup. It was hot! It was loaded with potatoes, clams and bacon. It was creamy and savory. That clam chowder was legit good! My husband smashed out his biscuits and gravy so I'm sure they were fantastic. I'm happy I got to try this joint out cause who knows if I ever will get to try them again. The service was fast and everything came out super hot! The chowder was legit good and if I ever come across another Mo's, I'm definitely going. read more

Wanted to get some kind of seafood before we left PDX and settled for airport clam chowder. Very good, I got a bowl and it came with a decent amount. It was savory and not too heavy. I was expecting to having an uncomfortable flight from an upset stomach, but felt no such thing! Would get again. My only gripe was that it was a little slow as a whole process, but still worth it. read more

Didn't get to try MO's in Portland so I thought I would give their airport location a try. Should be the same, just a little pricier I assumed. Well the soup was ok, but tasted more like potato soup than clam chowder. Hardly any clams in my soup either. Only good thing is the prices in the Portland airport are nothing like the prices at LAX, so not a big loss. I did also pick up their frozen soup base which travelled well even though they don't have plastic bags to catch the sweat from the defrosting, but they did double bag it in paper for me. I can always add my own clams to the base, so not too upset. Oh well. read more

It wasn't amazing nor was it terrible. It was good for airport food. People were friendly and seating was plentiful. I ended up trying the clam chowder and panko fish and chips. (Note: the Alaska cod is panko crusted and beer battered is halibut). Clam chowder: the bacon inside was the dominant flavor of the chowder. I wish there was a little less bacon and a bit more clams. With that said it wasn't bad. Panko fish and chips: the fish was nice and flakey. There are 4 larger nuggets served and the fries were nice and crunchy. All in all I'm glad I tried it. Everything was fried fresh to order and the soup was piping hot. Not a bad option if you're at PDX. read more

Good ol' Mo's, always makes me smile to see the name/sign. This company has been around for a long time and is super well known for their clam chowder. Starting out with locations in the Oregon Coast, the Newport location was our regular stop growing up. I don't like clam chowder so I only ever had it once or twice but I have pretty much made my way through the different offerings on the menu and I was never disappointed. This airport location offers a sense of nostalgia all wrapped up in the new, fastish food served with genuine care. read more

Let me tell you the chorizo breakfast bowl rocks! In the Portland airport looking for breakfast and I'm surprised there were places open at 5:30 A.M. when we landed. There was a line here and I just kept thinking is chowder a breakfast thing? Okay they have a breakfast bowl with choice of bacon, sausage or chorizo - that sounds good! I'll try a bowl of their chowder too! Chowder was kind of heavy on the potato but I think most chowders are that way so substantial, hearty and good flavor just wish it had a bit more seafood. If I had to pick one it'd be the chorizo breakfast bowl! read more

Asked for the Halibut. Costs a $5 more than the Alaskan Cod. Not an issue. Fries were good. read more

I appreciate PDX's efforts to include local business, but this proprietor has not trained its staff to meet the unique demands of fast-service for airport customers. All I ordered was a cup of chowder and watched the flustered staff struggle to stay organized despite the very short line. The shrimp cole slaw in the fridge looked interesting until I saw the second ingredient is "high fructose corn syrup" - not what I hope for when choosing supposedly local food. read more

I love eating at Moe's one of my favorite things to do when I go to the coast. It's too bad I had a really bad experience this time around. I was at PDX on my way to a work conference in Phoenix. A few coworkers and myself decided to stop by Moes for some clam chowder before our flight. I was a bit more hungry than the rest and got myself a shrimp melt as well. On the flight I started not feeling so good and Burping up the food. Once we arrived I was full blown sick. I ended up with NVD (nausea, v...) the rest of my work trip. The symptoms lasted about 4-5 days. Practically ruined the trip and experience due to food poisoning. read more

After looking at all the choices at the PDX airport, this spot looked the best (and also smelled so so good when I walked by). I got the beer-battered halibut and fries plus the clam chowder in a cup. Honestly, best airport food I've had! I expected the fish to be dry but it was super good, tasted fresh. The fries were also decent. The clam chowder was pleasantly good, I definitely expected this to be out of a can but it tasted fresh and delicious. It was also piping hot - perfect for the usual Portland weather. Definitely one of my faves out of my Portland trip! Which says a lot, considering this was just airport food. read more

As far as the chowder goes, 3 is pretty much dead on. I promised myself to try Mo's on this pass through PDX. The lady who helped me was welcoming and friendly taking my order for one bowl with crackers. Soup comes out immediately from the tureen in back. $8 which is fair for airport prices. It's topped with a generous sprinkle of paprika in a paper bowl with a plastic spoon and 3 packets of saltines. Mo's chowder seems to be the variety that uses flour to thicken and milk for creaminess. If this bowl happened to be the dominant sodium contributor for the day I couldn't taste it. Plenty of clams and potatoes for my taste. It was decent but I think I'll try something else next time or visit one of the locations that inspired the PDX spawn if such a creature exists. read more

I'm disappointed in myself because I went to a spot known for their fish n chips and ordered a cheeseburger. I must admit, it wasn't half bad. French fries were good too. The price was right too.

My only complaint is that even though it was good, I wouldn't say it was worth the wait. It took a little long and I was the only one that was there. When I make it back to Portland, I'll go to the Mo's outside of the airport and I'll actually get what they're know for. read more

The situation escalated when one woman followed us as we were leaving, recording us and yelling in our faces. What's most concerning is that the restaurant did not intervene in any meaningful way. Instead of addressing the guests who were harassing us, we were asked if we wanted to move tables. Our server was kind and tried to help, but the lack of management response in a situation that clearly crossed into harassment was unacceptable. I left feeling shaken and unsafe. I would not recommend this restaurant for families.

Upon her first bite of the risotto, she went into a severe coughing fit :( I tasted it and acknowledged how spicy it was. She proceeded to just eat the scallops. We were mostly done when the waiter came to check on us ... My wife asked if the dish is typically spicy. Response was "oh yes" ... It was completely lost on us why he wouldn't have mentioned that to her upon ordering knowing how she questioned the appetizers. His offer at this point was a new meal .. which was nice but we were mostly done. There really wasn't much in the way of sincerity beyond that. It seems the right thing to have done was offer my wife (celebrating her birthday) who didn't enjoy her meal ... maybe a comp'd drink or maybe a dessert (no acknowledgment of her birthday at all. When you spend north of $300 ... Disappointing to say the least. Upon leaving, I decided to just express my concern to the hostess and suggested adding the spice level of this specific entree to the menu. I reaffirmed my wife didn't get to fully enjoy her meal. I received a lukewarm "thanks for letting us know." The worst part of the whole experience was a manager/owner type was a few steps behind her, made eye contact and was fully aware i had an issue and made absolutely no attempt to come over and address the complaint. I no longer blame the waiter for his lack of concern knowing it flows from the top. We all go out and spend top dollar at nice restaurants for good food but also, for service and the experience. The restaurant has been opened awhile and maybe is established enough where this isn't as much of a priority as it was early on. In contrast, we went out the night before to a more established fave restaurant of ours in Portland (Ava Genes). Had an incredible meal, incredible experience, and uber attentive service. They even went the extra mile and made a big deal that we chose them to celebrate. Ended our evening with a simple complimentary scoop of gelato/candle. It was a nice touch. Certainly didn't mind spending the $$$ for that evening. I wouldn't dissuade anyone from trying The Cove if they've never been (I'm hopeful they just had a bad night) ... but there are so many good choices out there, it will most certainly make us think twice before going back.

We were able to order the lunch specials. I ordered the 2 sushi for $15.50 special and got the #9 Yellowtail-Jalapeno & the #19 Alaska Roll. I ordered the Tako Yaki $8.50 off their normal menu. The rolls tasted great, I really like the Yellowtail-Jalapeno Roll because it was a maki roll and would definitely order it in the future. The Alaska Roll seemed like a basic crowd pleaser type roll like a California Roll, nothing super special but tasty. The Tako Yaki was perfection, loved it! Would order again and again. They had forgotten to bring our miso soup that came with our lunch specials orders, we had to remind them and the two soups and salad came at the end of our meal, no biggie- they were delicious. Service was very friendly, we had gotten seated and served drinks right away. They kept our waters filled. The vibe was casual and the music was great. There is plenty of parking. Would love to stop by here again next time I am in town.

It's right off Marine Drive and literally floats on the water a relaxed atmosphere , good drinks, casual food, and lots of friendly faces.

You'll probably see a few smelly ducks drifting by only adds to the character. Now there is a bit of a downside.The ramp down is steep and a bit of a hike, especially on the way back up.

I go to find a fork from kitchen. Halibut tacos.-- grilled, but bland and little to no seasoning. Teriyaki salmon tacos -- s are lemon is chopped to consistency of cat food and swimming in very wet teriyaki sauce, AND topped with MUCH mayo sauce. Can't even taste the salmon. Hands fun, the worst tacos I've had after 26 years in Oregon. STRIKE THREE. Also, they allow dogs on the deck. Tables are close on the water, so we were front toe for two large ones barking at each other throughout our meal. STRIKE FOUR. I'm giving one star because the server was pleasant. Otherwise, avoid this disorganized kitchen and amateur-hour pub fare at all costs.

Date Night in Portland…read more Dame is a beautiful restaurant. We went here for dinner and it definitely felt like somewhere fancy that we try out if we were in SF. Mid Century Modern kinda feel to the inside which is right up my girls alley. The people who work here are super friendly and professional. When we got there we were greeted and sat right away since we had a reservation. I love trying something a little different. I've never had Carpaccio before and now after trying it at Dame, I'm totally a fan. Light texture but deep flavors due to the shaved fois gras and capers. The Focaccia was really good too. I gravitate to anything that has fennel in it so I might be a little biased. That and love bread just as much as I love potatoes. Potatoes are life after all. Heh When we went we ordered the Late Summer Risotto and the Pork Chop. I admittedly liked my girls dish just a little more than mine. It was super fally. Even though it didn't have any meat, I really enjoyed all the veggies bouncing off eachother in this pasta. I feel like some people think Risotto can get boring sometimes. A lot of times we see the same ole Mushroom Risotto a thousand times. Or maybe it's just a basic one paired with some other dish. I really like that Dame's had a lot of fun things going on within it. That being said don't get it twisted. The Pork Chop was still fire. I love the tenderness and flavors just on its own. I've never been a big polenta guy but Dame's again made me rethink my humanity. It was so creamy. What a nice alternative to the usual mashed potatoes. Salsa Verde is also a big go to when I eat Mexican Food so, paired with everything else we were definitely grubbin. Everything we had is flawless and it just makes it hard for me because pretty much every place we went to in Portland had great food. I can't wait to come back during a different season to try some more tasty meals here!

It's colorful inside. Kinda cute. I thought the fake/real living wall was cool. They have a t.v. showing food and life in Thailand. It was awesome. A lot of the video was about food vendors and how much the food costs. Everything was 1/5th the cost you'd get charged for the same thing if it was the U.S.A. The waitstaff was on top of service. It was awesome. My Wife ordered a Thai Tea and I had beer. The tea was yummy but a little sweet for her. I was super hungry and we ordered a lot of food. The portions are good size and the prices were decent for being near the airport. We ordered 2 Salad Rolls. 1 Prawn and 1 Tofu and a Spring Roll. The Garden Rolls came with 3 different sauces. All three were absolutely delicious. 1. A Thai Peanut Sauce that was to die for. The leftovers I scooped onto my Pad thai as extra sauce. 2. Was a Miso Sauce that reminded me of a Chimichurri Sauce. I wasn't sure wich of the two sauces i liked more. Sauce # 3 was also very delicious. I forget what it was called. I looked up the menu online but didn't figure it out. Either way it was yummy. Not as much as the other 2 sauces but all 3 sauces were amazing. The Spring Rolls were good and crunchy, the sauce was sweet and flavorful. I judge all Thai Restaurants by the Pad Thai. We both had pad Thai. I had prawns, she ordered chicken. The plate presentation at Zab Pinto is beautiful. I loved the look of everything that came out of the kitchen. Our Pad Thai was no different. We both said "wow" when our food was set down. I was upset that I couldn't dive into my pad Thai. I tried but I'm pretty sure they use lava to cook food, lol. No problem, we still had appetizers to finish. After some chatting and waiting, finally, our food cooled down enough and I dove in head first. The prawns were cooked perfectly and the Pad Thai was one of the best I've ever had. I've eaten pad Thai at restaurants from Gresham to the coast and Zab has it figured out. The sauce was almost like butter in flavor. I wondered if they actually used butter. I wanted to ask but, sometimes it's the mystery that brings me back. After seeing all the curry other people ordered. My Wife and I are already wanting to come back for the curry. There is a bunch of items I want to try. Basically I want to eat everything on the menu at least one time.
