    great food, clean, cute dining room, nice staff, quick service, accessible, and good prices. I'm excited to come back and try more menu items maybe go on a date/in the evening time.

    Mussaman Chicken

    This place is AWESOME. Super fast and honestly the tastiest Thai food I've had so far in pdx and I've been to a lot of Thai restaurants here. The crispy basil pork was out of this world and the massaman curry was also really amazing stuff. See the pics :)

    We had pad kee now and a ground meat with fried egg on rice for lunch. It was good when the place was a little quiet on Sunday afternoon. We were able to share meals and chatted with each other. The staff came to check on us and added some water for us. It's good dining experience here.

    Chicken chefs special. Very delicious.

    Ate here today for lunch. Restaurant is very clean and the menu is easy to navigate. My experience with my waiter was positive. Very friendly and helpful. My food arrived quickly and you could tell the produce and meat was very fresh. The bathrooms were very clean aand user friendly. I got the chicken chefs special. The salad was really tasty.

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.

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!

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.

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!
