Wow I can see why the line was out the door, this place was PACKED!…read more You order first before finding a spot to seat. Came with a group of friends and we loved everything. Love coming on a group so we could try everyone's dishes from the noodle soups and rice dishes. I ordered the #12 Ba Mee Tom Kha. Perfect for a chilly day. Pork belly so crispy and good. Definitely not your basic Thai food. Everything was packed with flavor.

Found street parking a few blocks down which was okay since the weather was nice…read more The food truck is nested in a beer garden with a large covered tent area in the middle area. There is plenty of seating there and It looked like there was a space for live music and string lights - probably a fun spot to grab dinner in the evening. We came for lunch and ordered the chao mian with chicken (spicy) and bian bian noodles (spicy). The noodles are cooked to order and we were served quickly. The serving sizes are huge. Neither one of us could finish ours. We'll likely order one dish to split next time, and that'd still probably be more than enough. The flavor of the chao mian was a bit lackluster. It was savory with a soy sauce flavor base, but got a bit repetitive with each bite. It was decently spicy and texture was there with the veggies, but I wish there was a way to customize with more spice or vinegar to taste. The bian bian noodles were more flavorful and also spicier. Fun noodle texture. There are also other vendors in the garden so you can pair a dessert, drink, or side with your meal while staying in the same area. Overall, a filling meal for a good price! Would come again to try their beef noodle soup.

As you can see I have been coming back to Kenny's since 2018 ( a must stop-by when Im in Portland ), their quality has been slowly eroded over the years, noodles are not al dente at all, in fact it was way over cooked, same as the wontons ( the wrappings are falling off ). And the Beef Brisket & Tendons are almost unrecognizable ( check out my photos from before ). So much for looking forward each time when Im in Portland ...

On a drizzly March Sunday in Downtown Portland After seeing the gorgeous Cherry tree blossoms along…read morethe Willamette river, we stopped in at Xin Ding on SW 2nd Avenue. The place was full of hungry locals and tourists but was uncustomarily quiet and calm. From the hostess that seated us, to the waitress and servers, all staff and management were extremely polite, positive and helpful. We were starving. So we ordered 3 entrees and side of Dry-fried String beans. The Green Beans were cooked perfectly and the serving size was generous! One of our new favorites is the Mongolian Chicken. Is not a spicy Chinese food dish but the moist chicken and seasonings produced a yummy & comfort food level dish! As usual, the lightly battered & deveined Butterfly prepared Salt & Pepper Shrimp was mouthwatering, with every bite. As the last entree to be served. The ten Chicken & Vegetable Dumplings were fresh and flavorful. Needless to say, with only 2 patrons eating lunch with 3 heaping entrees plus Dry-fried String beans and white rice - we took home 2 more meals worth of Chinese food leftovers. Definitely dine in at this Old Town location or order To Go!

Was recommended this spot for the best dumplings. And they were right…read more I dropped by and was seated quickly by the wait staff. Brought me out a water and I gave a quick look at the menu. Already knew what I wanted and that was the Pork xiao long bao soup dumplings. It came in a steam basket and it's more than enough for one person to eat or share in a group setting. The place is super dark inside with everything painted black. Maybe use another color to brighten things up? Overall I would come back to this place to try some other stuff.

I had an amazing meal the other night. The Bulgogi DuKuhBee is known for their hand pulled noodles,…read morebut we also got to try a lot of other Korean staples like Bibimbap, Korean fried chicken, bulgogi, japchae, and more. We devoured everything and left no crumbs but the dishes I would likely gravitate back towards are the hand pulled noodles, wings, and actually the Mandoo! The hand pulled noodles were coated nicely with a spicy sauce and had a great chew to them. I loved the thickness of the noodles and added crunch from the cabbage and other veggies. Half sweet and half spicy for the wings was the way to go - each wing was doused in sauce and sesame seeds but still maintained its crunch. As someone that doesn't usually like wings, these were fantastic. Lastly, the Mandoo surprised me! It was the sauce that sealed the deal. It was like a thousand island, poppy seed kind of dressing that worked very well. I couldn't stop eating them. If you're looking for authentic Korean food, this is the place!

I pass various friendly people outside. I managed the door and found my way to the order counter. I am greeted by some friendly workers, a picture of Koko up on the wall, the owner making pulled noodles. I am in for a treat. I order the beef noodles, the person said several times this one... this one. If I wanted bulgogi it was that one that one. I wheel to an open seat. The place a bit cramped. A couple people chatting away eating happily a good sign. Some take out order I see...it is a Monday, after the holidays, the slowest month for some restaurants. The noodles come...tasty... not too chewy. I sense cabbage maybe a couple of times I tasted the grill. But a bit spicy, the order person said it would be I am mostly pleased.

They also serve rice dishes. As a blackbean noodle addict I can attest this is the best place hands down. They use potato starch in their batter for their pork which makes it so deliciously crispy but with that mochi type of bite. The jjang sauce is thick and doesn't disintegrate so you're able to dip the pork in it. Service is good and they give you free pickled radish! You can also ask for cut onion in vinegar if you're a die hard~

I…read moretried their most popular dish, Jajangmyeon, along with sweet and sour pork (the second most popular item) and spicy chicken. The spicy chicken was actually quite good and flavorful. However, the dish I was most excited about, the Jajangmyeon, was disappointing -- the flavor was very mild and lacked depth. Unfortunately, the sweet and sour pork was not good at all. While it was battered and fried, most pieces were almost entirely batter with very little actual pork inside, which was quite disappointing. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly, and I really liked the clean and pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant. However, because the food did not meet my expectations overall, I'm giving this place

I knew that the next time I came to visit Portland I was going to have Mama Chow's again. It's been almost six years since I tried Mama Chow's for the first time and there's always that anxiety of wondering if the food is as good as the memory was since so much time has passed. I can confirm that the food was just as good as the last time I had it. I arrived a little after 12pm and Jeff Chow helped us. He was so nice about explaining the items on the menu to my partner, saying happy new year to us, and making us feel welcoming because we were his first customers of the day. I ordered the chicken wings with garlic noodles and it didn't disappoint. So much flavor in the garlic noodles and the sauce that comes with it. The fried chicken was amazing as well with the right amount of flavor and crunch on the outside and tenderness on the inside. My hope is that I don't have to wait another six years to come back to Portland, but when I do I'll be visiting Mama Chow's Kitchen again.
