    Chocolate Torte
    Gary Q.

    The food was excellent. My wife had the ribeye steak and I had the fish and chips. Both dishes were high quality, and uniquely prepared. The service was friendly. The dessert, a chocolate torte, was sublime.

    Butternut Squash Ravioli. Unreal! I dislike butternut squash, and I would order this in a heartbeat next time!

    First time back to Junki's Riverview in a while, due to a temporary shut down, but thank God they're back! And in perfect form! First, since they are forced into outdoor seating only at the moment, they have the BEST covered patio I've experienced since COVID was a thing. It was warm enough to be almost balmy! I had to take my coat off! Although it wasn't on the menu this time, apparently Yoshida-san and some of his friends were in the restaurant the night before, and brought in some edamame to craft his amazing appetizer, so we inquired our *awesome* server, Chad, if they could put together the same for us...and they did! They had just enough left to throw down an awesome dish! Man, it's so good! My wife and I spent 30 minutes trying to deconstruct all the ingredients involved in making it, before Chad, noticing our dilemma, asked the chef, unprompted, for the the ingredient list! Now that's service! I ordered the miso salmon entree, while my wife had the crusted Mahi Mahi special. Both of us were enraptured by our choices: my miho salmon was savory like a steak, without that fishy taste that so easily overwhelms a dish. The miso sauce embraced it like a gentle lover, drawing out it's strengths and complementing it in every way. Easily among my top 3 favorite fish dishes of all time. Meanwhile, my wife's bread-crusted Mahi Mahi, like a high-class fish and chips (sans chips), hit every flavor note it set out to trigger: tangy, savory, salty, sweet. No need for tartar sauce here, folks! A couple of Rye Old Fashioneds and Tanqueray and sodas, and the Chocolate Mousse dessert completed the meal, and left us content, bordering on ecstatic! I'd have ordered the Creme Brulee, but I was overruled, and yet I have no regrets! The brownie bites, mousse and whipped cream were a light, sweet end note to a perfect meal! I have come to expect perfection from Junki's Riverview, and have yet to be disappointed. Huge shout out again to our server Chad for being professional, efficient and accommodating (on both of our visits!), both in pursuing an off-menu item, and then asking (on our behalf) the ingredient list to enable us to experiment in making it at home! Absolutely nothing negative about our experiences here, friends! Junki Yoshida and Co. have estabished a top tier dining experience on the fringes of Multnomah county, and you are absolutely, truly missing out if you can't be arsed to drive out to Troutdale to indulge. You can't claim to be a gourmet (foodie is such a dumb term) or Yelp Elite without at least one meal at Riverview, and that's a fact!

    I have been to this restaurant many times. I always have great service and the food is always delicious, although I would love it if they updated their menu. They need to offer more options or just change it once in a while. The ambience and views are amazing since this place is right on the Sandy river and has outdoor dining options. Great place to go for appetizers and drinks in the summer! And fantastic desserts!!

    Miso Salmon & Butternut Ravioli
    Carlo P.

    From the moment we walked in, we were treated as valued guests. We arrived 45 minutes prior to our reservation and decided to sit in the bar for a cocktail. We walked outside which was stunning, a bit cold but the view of the Sandy River warmed us up immediately. We were seated at our reservation time and enjoyed exceptional service from Andy, who was not only attentive but gave us space and time to enjoy conversation, our appetizer and the first pour of our bottle of wine. I had the salmon with miso glaze and my wife had the butternut squash ravioli. My salmon was cooked to perfection, the only way it should be here in the pacific northwest and the ravioli were everything my wife expected. We will be back and hope our fiends and family have the pleasure of dining here.

    Lemon blueberry marscapone cake

    Made OpenTable reservations but had no trouble at all changing to 4 as my husband was able to join and originally had indoors but they asked if we preferred out which we did - splendid. Absolutely fantastic food and wonderful service by Chad. Serene setting among the huge trees and quiet river. We started with the fried artichoke hearts and shumai. Perfect choices. Both were excellent. The shumai were delicious pillows of sweet savory and the fried artichokes had a wonderful touch of lemon flavor (possibly zest). Mom hardly eats so we got her the Soup of the day, that was a chicken wonton. Mom loved it as it was not salty at all with big meaty wontons. I ordered the demi-glazed brisket which came with mashed and asparagus. DAMN! So good! You can bathe me in that demi-glaze! I shared a bit with Mom (boy, is SHE lucky!) Hubby got the brisket noodle bowl which he absolutely loved and said had the most exotic flavors. Daughter had the butternut squash ravioli, which also had amazing flavors. Finished it up with a lemon blueberry marscapone cake that was STELLAR! HOLY!!! We will definitely be returning to this wonderful little place of heaven!

    This is one amazing place for dinner! Chad, our waiter, was very accommodating bringing us a great 1924 red blend wine. The meal began with 2 steamed wontons followed by a bowl of clam Chowder and hot bread. The salmon was served with rice and asparagus. DELICIOUS! The happy ending was a wonderful piece of red velvet cake. There was a piano player as well. He was playing nice soft dinner music. Being Valentine's day, I requested "A Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeplin. Believe it or not, he was able to pull off a wonderful, but appropriate, rendition! I highly recommend Riverview Restaurant for any dinner but especially celebrating a special occasion. We have been many times and never disappointed!

    ok. I know at a thai place medium is hot, but when i saw "mile, medium, hot, thai hot" I figured…read moremedium would be safe....... wrong. well, the medium pad thai was mild the drunken noodle medium was way hot! they made me a new batch at no charge! great customer service, oh yea, and the food? top notch

    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.
