The sake flight was also tasty and fun. My partner found the matcha ipa to be unexpectedly good. The menu could be easier to read though! Inconsistent formatting and usage of pictures. Skip the croquettes though, these were bland deep fried breaded mashed potatoes that seems like they'd been heated from frozen mass produced. TLDR: Ramen AMAZING, croquettes meh.

Mugen Noodle is such a great find, especially if you, like me are traveling with vegan and…read moregluten-free peeps and don't want anyone settling for the sad "side salad option." The vegan and GF choices here were actually exciting. My friends ordered the vegan Khao Soi and the Kati noodle soups, and both were full, thoughtful dishes, not afterthoughts. It made dinner so much easier and way more enjoyable for our whole group. This isn't a traditional ramen shop, but my husband's black garlic chintan was every bit as satisfying as some of our favorite ramen spots back in the Bay. Rich, comforting, and absolutely worth ordering at $19 for a hearty bowl. (The others were slightly pricier at $24 a pop) That said, the star of the night was my spicy shrimp ramen. Easily. The broth reminded me of a laksa base with a deep, layered flavor heavy with aromatics and umami. The shrimp on top were excellent in their own right, perfectly seared, well-seasoned, and not just a garnish pretending to matter. I also want to give the ramen eggs a shout out. I can't believe how many places get this wrong. These beauties were perfectly marinated and served warm. It's one of my biggest pet peeves to have an ice cold ramen egg dropped into my hot soup and I appreciate the consideration given to addressing this common faux pas. Fast service, a beautiful outdoor patio with a great view, and food that genuinely impressed all of us. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Day 1 - walked from the hotel, sat down, the waitress brought a cup of water and the menu. 20…read moreminutes later she stopped by to take my order. The food came out at a reasonable time. Then (and I kid you not) took 31 min 52 sec (because I timed it) before she came back. There were only 11 people in the whole entire restaurant. Day 2 - was working late, walked to the restaurant (which closes at 9pm) I was there in the door at 8:21pm, restaurant was completely empty except for one family that was finishing their dinner. Some douche bag kid, with a lama haircut, asked if I was picking up food, I said No. Then he tells me that they stop sitting people down at 8pm. Showed me to the door and with a stupid smile on his face said "out, thank you" Forgot to mention, on day-1 all the gnats that were flying around the soy sauce (personally, I asked for a fresh one) Anywho, this is my first negative review on the service and cleanliness. The food was Good but please straighten up your kid and your staff! I acknowledge the situation, and the family with the lama haircut kid were probably the owners.

Which I had to walk back to ask if I could sit at sushi bar. I couldn't it was covered in boxes they told to I had to sit at the bar to the right. I waited for awhile and then was asked for water. The bar was so dirty I asked for it to be wiped down I was so nice said thank you. The girl rolled her eyes.She said it was just water ,it was not, it was filth. The waitress Bridget L asked what I wanted with an attitude like I was doing a disservice in being there. She never serviced me ,she was so rude when I asked about specials that she didn't know about and asked her to check when she came back she said no I didn't check.why is this lady working here?!!!Never helped me was rude and unhelpful, barely even spoke to her. What a joke. She should not work In the service industry. She's absolutely terrible. I complained about one roll i ordered tastes rotten and I wanted one roll removed I would pay for the rest and this lady that claimed to be a manager told me to leave . When I went to leave ,she said she would call the cops if I didn't pay. Make up your mind lady. Should I stay or should I go?! I said I wanted to pay and you if the one roll was removed and she refused again. She is a head case. I tried to pay for everything else a she berated and yelled at me . She continued to threaten me and said they don't do that.. can't send back food because I didn't like it. I told her again it tasted rotten and I spit it out. You can see on the pictures below baked scallop roll where I spit it out. She also said if you don't like it it's not our problem. The last time I checked if its rotten ,im not going pay. . I proceeded to tell her I would not pay for rotten food. She fought a lot, was so terrible never experienced this in my life. . I started recording her because it was so crazy she said I was yelling the entire time, which I never did. I was on the phone with my boss who heard everything . I never did what she claimed was I was so nice and polite . MANAGERS AND OWNERS CHECK THE VIDEO RECORDINGS YOUR YOU HAVE SERIOUS LIABILITIES WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES ,I WAS TRYING TO PEACEFUL PAY AND LEAVE. Instead I got screamed at. I was there at 7/14 at 17:21:03. I also was throwing up afterwards because the food was rotten. Never in my life have I been threatened and disrespected in a restaurant. This place is a total disgrace and health hazard which I will report to the health board . The acclaimed manager could have just refunded me one roll instead of being combative. The waitress Bridget L is terrible and should never work in customer service again.. this dirty and unethical place needs to get shutdown. Do not ever come here. TERRIBLE FOOD AND SERVICE.

This is one of our go-to spots on Hood River. We've been here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and…read moresomehow they manage to nail it every single time. Today's mission? Split the St. Helens Burger, an order of fries, and a side salad with the recommended goat cheese (trust them--it was the right call). The burger was everything you want it to be. A fresh poppy seed bun, a perfectly cooked patty, sweet caramelized onions... and then came the poblano pepper. That little bit of smoky heat tied the whole thing together. Now let's talk about the fries because they deserve their own paragraph. These are, without question, my favorite fries. They arrived hot, crispy, perfectly golden, and had that satisfying crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one. If you're a fry person, these alone are worth the visit. The side salad was fresh and flavorful, and the creamy goat cheese took it from "just a side salad" to something I'd happily order again. It was the perfect balance to all those delicious fries. If you're looking for a place that consistently delivers great food in a welcoming atmosphere, Kickstand Coffee should absolutely be on your list. We've yet to have a bad meal here, and it's one of those places we recommend without hesitation to friends, family, and anyone who asks where to eat. I now wish I didn't let my husband eat more of the fries. Gotta head back up there soon! Service was great and love that the girl at the counter asked me if I was doing anything fun today - extra friendliness goes a long way!

I came to regret this when I tasted the miso soup which was so salty I couldn't even eat it. The other items were ok but nothing special. For almost $30 I felt a little put off.

The pork was hard as rock, flavorless, and honestly felt like it was fried twice and then put under a heat lamp. I ended up eating part of my husband's meal because there was just no way I could eat it. The second time we went I got the crispy Japolo chicken for myself and was very happy with my meal. I also ordered vegetables because Hawaiian food is always lacking on that front. To be honest, it was way too salty and I would have just been happy if they had cooked it without any salt, just steamed, but that's just me! I also tried their chocolate cake slice. It was okay. I would recommend eating here. I do like the food and am willing to try more dishes. I think I was just choosing the wrong options the first time round.
