Reservation confirmation said, that door opens at 6:30pm and dinner service starts at 7pm. Phew, I'm sometimes bad with predicting the traffic patterns, so that gives you a little cushion. AND I arrived at 6:30pm on the dot. Ha! Plenty of street parking, but I wasn't sure I was in the right place since there was no sign. But, the building's number is clearly marked. So I stepped inside. There was music playing from the back of the building and I just kept moving towards the music. After 2 doorways, my husband remarked it was like we were entering a speakeasy. We stepped into a living room and proceeded through another doorway to find an open kitchen and jaw dropping red alder dining table. Standing in the kitchen was Chef Riley Eckersley and he greeted us like we were old friends. He had a couple of cocktails ready to pour and explained his concept of his place that has only been open for 3 weeks. Imagine an intimate dinner party (6 guests the night I was there) gathering for conversation while being taken on a culinary journey around Oregon. Throughout the evening, every detail was carefully curated, from the ingredients (from the coast to the mountains, he covered every corner), to the plating, music, and drinks (everything from mezcal, sake, orange wine, etc). The whole experience lasts 2 1/2-3 hours and I enjoyed every minute. I will certainly return as the menu changes with the seasons of Oregon. We began the evening as strangers, and ended as close friends.

The flautas delivered an exceptional crunch with a lot of filling - alongside their lettuce and sauce that just made the dish amazing. The guacamole tostada was to die for. It's refreshing and very unique and complex in flavor. The sashimi was very fresh and beautifully presented. I think I could have lived without the Hokkaido Scallops and the Ceviche, but they were still fresh nonetheless.

Their beverage service seems to be a bit of a cluster as people wanted something while waiting so went to the bar inside which they initially served people but then they started telling people you couldn't order there so would need to wait in the hourish line again for something (ie if you wanted something after ordering your food or like a modelo cause they moved them all from the inside bar to the outside). Probably had the worst tasting Hazy ipa ever from their interior bar as they would only allow cans for the exterior after saying they wouldn't serve the exterior people (much of what they said didnt make much sense and seemed like they just couldnt handle doing that many orders although the interior was only a couple patrons). Took about 30 min to get food. They say they sell out but seems like they just put up the sign and post that on ig once the line length will take them to closing (ie about an hour to hour half line from 8pm). Foods good but seems poorly managed creating waits and wasn't really that busy compared to other places of similar menus.

I saw online, ordered, and demolished more bread and bagels in one setting that I'd like to admit…read more I actually hadn't heard of Fairbanks Bread/Honey Bagels until I saw an online post and was intrigued. My friend and I had recently started ranking Portland bagel spots and even tried our own bagel-making home attempts so I knew I had to try this place out. I grabbed a variety of bagels for the both of us and giant country loaf as well. The menu/ordering site opens up on Fridays and you pre-order/pick up at Ollini on Mondays between 3:30 pm - 6:00 pm (just down the street from Cafe Olli). I was able to find good street parking nearby and swing by for my order which they put together pretty quickly. Service was quite friendly able to accommodate separating a couple of the bagels so I could more easily hand them off to my friend. I am so so so curious how these bagels taste fresh but I will say they were pretty darn good when we tried them later that day as well. The poppy seed one...did lose a lot of poppy as we ate, but c'est la vie, that's what I expect to begin with. My only qualm was that the bagels were a bit toothsome pre-toasting, but otherwise, good quality and taste. Now the loaf of bread, that's another story altogether. Could wax poetic about how good that is for paragraphs more. I was so excited when I cut it open because I knew I was going to make a set of heirloom tomato stacked tomato toast on this bread. Great taste, texture, flavor. Would absolutely buy again without hesitation. All in all, a really solid spot in Portland for bagels and bread! Put an order in (prices are quite reasonable) and enjoy!!

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.
