    Usually have a great experience at punkys. Not so much this time went in to get a steak and cheese with onions and no peppers. The first order made was an egg sandwich not a steak and cheese, the second time I told them my order they gave me a steak egg and cheese breakfast sandwich so I told them for a 3rd time I WOULD LIKE A LG STEAK AND CHEESE SANDWICH WITH ONIONS AND NO PEPPERS. The 3rd sandwich I got was a LG steak and cheese loaded with peppers. Not sure what was going on but overall a really bad experience.

    I have to say, I am ashamed that this was my first time trying Punky's, seeing as I've lived down the street for over 2 years. However, after today's visit I will most definitely be making up for lost time! I swung by to grab a couple things for lunch and was glad to see so many cars in the parking lot, since it often looks empty. The daily casseroles all looked great, and I had a hard time deciding... I ended up going with pure comfort food- shepherds pie and chicken pot pie. I knew I had to try the chicken pot pie since they were running low on it, so clearly it's popular. Both were delicious but WOW the chicken pot pie was the winner. It was creamy, thick, and very very filling. Was full before I was even halfway through, so now I have quite a bit of left overs (and definitely not complaining). Can't wait to go back and try out some of their sandwiches too!

    Chicken Pot Pie today.

    I haven't been here in a long time and decided to stop by for lunch. It was pretty busy and I looked at the hot food choices. They had several to choose from and today the chicken pot pie looked particlarly inviting, so I ordered it. I was given a large size portion, which was plenty, and all for $6.50. The crust was moist and flaky with a generous portion of tender white chunks of chicken. The white gravy was fantastic. I didn't seem to see any veggies and a hearty amount of peas and or carrots would have made this already awesome lunch much better. I certainly will return. Perhaps next time I'll try the chop suey!

    Breakfast plate. A bunch of food for a great price!

    They're known for their Thanksgiving sub but some of my favorites are the beef stroganoff and chicken pot pie - both are absolutely incredible.

Vegan? Lots of good dishes (and everything, including gluten-free options and spice level, is clearly labeled). I had an order of the banh chao fresh rolls (coconut scallion rice crepes filled with shiso, mint, carrot, daikon, cukes, lettuce, peace shoots) with the lemon herb sauce. Which had an unexpected and delightful kick to it; I loved the heat and ended up pouring that sauce all over the vegan kuyteav cha (rice noodles with fried tofu, pineapple, veggies, and ginger garlic oil) I got! Other veg options: the fried green beans (with maple tamari and salted bean sauce), phsaet ang (oyster mushroom skewers with a cashew green sauce and papaya pickles), neorm (a vermicelli noodle salad) specifically with fried tofu, and mi goreng (fried dry wheat noodles with sweet soy curry, chili oil, gai lon pickled shiitake and bean sprouts, lime; ask for it be vegan to omit the egg). While the food was good, the staff was the best part. Smart, clever, funny, fast, friendly, genuine; it was one of the realest interactions I've had at a restaurant in a long time. He went above and beyond checking things were vegan, making amazing recommendations, asking thoughtful questions to my friend about her spice tolerance. He even came upstairs to check in on us. This is probably one of the best lunch options in Portland.

The menu experience was smaller/limited options but offered "greatest hits" so that you didn't miss out on the overall experience. With seats right up at the counter and in perfect view of the kitchen, the team whipped out a coursed/well-timed menu. We enjoyed the chickpea fries, spread + breads, moroccan carrots, falafel, halloumi and to top it all off, the lamb ribs. It was so aggressive in the best way possible. The cocktail menu is fun, inventive and pairs well with most of the dishes. Their NA drinks were thankfully, not boring either. The only drawback for me here is the counter-top/high-top dining experience is the only available seating option unless you're participating in the upstairs private area. The restaurant is clearly very sleek and modern, but I felt like it took away from the experience of making this particularly special. Would recommend this restaurant for 2 people - hard to enjoy with a larger group!

There's records being thrown down, cool lighting, nice decor and even super friendly folks. The employees here are beyond nice and welcoming. Like they know what they are doing here and they are offering you an experience that is fun and funky. We started off with two drinks. One was called a salad of some sort (sorry, blacked out) and it was delicious. The other was just as good. Ordered the eggplant app - do not leave without this. Absolutely amazing. For food, we ordered a rice bowl with pork sausage and a noodle bowl (with lobster and clams). Don't remember the names. Both were absolutely fantastic. The flavor profiles are just incredible. The rice bowl had so many things happening. Just terrific. The noodle bowl has a broth that you would drink daily. There wasn't one thing that could have made these dishes any better. Do not leave without dessert. Read that again!!! Get the honey sundae. This is what dreams are made of. You will question reality. No matter how stuffed you think you are, order this. This place is just full of magic and wizardry. Like seriously.

Service: Great Food: We started off with soft serve and the seasonal earl gray outshined the house honey. The earl gray had a great flavor topped with an excellent syrup while the honey was mild and the chocolate shell didn't add anything, although the 'honeycomb' bits were delic. Crispy eggplant special - good, very small portion Pork katsu sandwich - pretty solid, interesting pickle Pad mee korat - good, small portion Value: Aside from the soft serve, the portions were very small for ~$17 price point, and the food was good but aside from the earl gray soft serve, didn't amaze to the point of paying a higher price point. Overall I did like this meal but portions were small for prices. I hope they keep the earl gray soft serve around!

Highly recommended: salt cod, foie gras truffles, pasta with guanciale.

Service was wonderful; my friend mentioned that she loved chocolate mousse but was too full for dessert, and our server brought us a to go portion as a bonus with the check.

What I can say is that the soup was my favorite and the turkey breast was not in the slightest dry. The short ribs were my friends favorite and we both loved the pumpkin budin. Service was polite and efficient and te music was upbeat and lively, despite the restaurant emiting a dark romantic vibe. I'm really thankful that they had reservations available and that the food was delicious since many restaurants in the area were already booked out. Thank you Wayside Tavern for a delicious meal!
