    Beef gyro
    Adam Z.

    I really liked the beef gyros. The meat was really juicy and pretty tender. The pita bread was just average though. I don't think it was freshly made. That's ok though, this isn't a fancy restaurant or anything. The kofta kebab was decent. I was hoping for some more spice and flavor from the meat but it wasn't bad. The guy behind the counter (owner?) was pretty cool too. I liked the vibe there. Very non-pretentious, straightforward, relaxed, blue collar type of feeling. It's in a nice, quiet part of town too.

    This place has the best lamb gyros I have ever had in my life. Used to feel pretty indifferent about Mediterranean food until I realized I just never had good Mediterranean food. I did not believe lamb could be this tender. We ordered some for breakfast and made another trip before leaving Portland. They're also MUCH bigger than the Gyros I am used to. The staff was incredibly sweet. I'm definitely coming back when I visit the area.

    Follow the signs.

    Not all gyros wear capes. But this place should. We recently discovered this little gem and now go once a week. My jam is the gyro bowl with lamb - plus a side order of hummus or the dolmas depending on my food mood. It's a spectacular lunch. The owner is super friendly and literally always in a great mood. Definitely check this place out - but do it before 2 pm - that's when they shut down to bask in the glory of all the hunger they just defeated.

    The shop. It's small but cozy.

    We discovered this shop only because We had to return our U-Haul truck. We were hungry and had time to kill, so we looked up a place to eat lunch and this place popped up with raveling reviews. It was right before lunch time, and the shop was already 1/2 full. It's small but cozy. After reading the menu on the wall, we joined the line to order a lamb gyro bowl, a chicken giant gyro, a house coffee and a chai ice latte. We got the drink right away, so we got to sip while waiting for our food. Drinks were ok. The closest things I can compare them to, were convenient store brewed beverages. Which was understandable since it's a gyro restaurant, not a hipster coffee shop. Soon enough, the staff brought us the food. The portion was good, I ended up taking some of my lamb gyro bowl to go. Everything was fresh. I enjoyed sharing my bf's chicken gyro because the flat bread was hot, fluffy and soft~ During the whole time, the staff was really friendly and responsive while trying to maintain efficiency with the lunch crowd. If I'm in the area again, I'll drop by for a quick lunch.

    In NW Portland, was extremely happy with the service and chicken salad. Keto friendly at a reasonable price.  I will return!

    Food was great and Keto friendly. Service extremely friendly, casual. Reasonably priced, clean and I enjoyed the Sultan music. The smell was the first thing I encountered, EXTREMELY DELICIOUS! I will be returning, I felt very comfortable dining alone there. When I take a break from keto, first place I'm coming to try one of the pastries!

    WOW ! Best Middle East food i had , save a café and Jerusalem couple years ago ago. we had their Mezzah & Falafel Plate. Yum. Huge serving with Low prices ( dont tell them).

As I placed my order the options were in front of me along with food options. I settled down and got a latte with hazelnut and a bagel with cream cheese. I had looked in the back area to sit but I realized it was subtle outdoor seating. Kinda cute but I'm from Hawaii so I was honestly too cold. I underestimated the table I sat on, I assumed my binder was going to take up the entire space, but I actually had space for my food, coffee, binder and my laptop. While doing my homework there were other people getting things done along side parents planning their kids spring break. A lot of customers that came in seemed familiar and happy going inside and chatting with the two gals handling the bar. It felt like I was watching an episode of some sort of show for a second sort of like "how I met your mother. " Great vibes, nice workers, good and affordable coffee with affordable food, like, seriously affordable. I've seen bagels cost $7 where I'm from and that's without cream cheese. Haha.

    I am admittedly not a matcha connoisseur. Every matcha I have tried, I have liked. I know some…read morepeople can get really picky with their matcha and where it is sourced from and how it is prepared. I'm just not at that level. That said, this matcha was delicious. I got their double matcha latte, which is matcha topped with a foam. It came with oat milk by default which wouldn't typically be my choice, but it was great and I didn't really notice any difference. I loved the double matcha flavor. Staff and service were great. They were clearly very busy, as these drinks take a bit more preparation than a pour and go. It is really fun to watch them make the drinks. They went out of their way to check in with me on something which was very appreciated. The shop is located on NE 28th, a very happening part of town. They don't have big signs out front so it might be easy to miss. It's a small store with 3-4 tables and a small couch. I recommend taking your drink to-go and walking around the neighborhood or to Laurelhurst!

    Overall: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5…read moreService: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Best matcha spot that I have tried in the Portland area so far- I will go out of my way to get a matcha (or hojicha) from Yunomi, and that's how you know it's good! Their menu selection is small, but each drink is well curated and delicious. Yunomi offers a small work area with 3 tables and a countertop space, but if those tables are taken you are out of luck :(. So far, I have tried their banana hojicha, black sesame hojicha, double matcha, jasmine matcha, and oolong matcha. Of all the drinks, I recommend getting the double matcha- creamy, not too sweet, perfect taste of matcha in one drink. Yes, the cups are small, but for me the quality overrides the size (plus I am a sipper not a chugger so it works out). I'm not sure why Yunomi doesn't have the crowd or the rush as some other matcha places in the PDX area have, but I am not complaining because that means more delicious matcha and good street parking spots for me! Highly recommend visiting Yunomi for a sweet treat if you are in the area!
