The 35 best spots for chicken in Portland

I’ve had Thai food in many different cities across the U.S., and overall, I think Thai cuisine tends to be one of the most consistent and satisfying Asian food options here. That said, this particular restaurant didn’t quite meet my expectations. I visited after seeing a glowing recommendation from a blogger, but I have to say — some influencer reviews might be a bit too generous. The flavors here were underwhelming, and not quite as impressive as advertised. I even saw two people filming content while I was dining, which made me wonder if the hype was a bit overblown. The oxtail soup was the biggest disappointment — I honestly couldn’t tell if I was drinking soup or straight vinegar. Their signature curry also let me down. It tasted heavily of Mae Ploy curry paste with canned coconut milk, and there weren’t any fresh ingredients like meat or vegetables. Just a few fried shallots on top. It felt like something made entirely from premade sauces. To be honest, I’ve made better curry at home with fresher ingredients. That said, the prices were quite reasonable, so if you’re just looking for a quick Thai meal that won’t break the bank, it’s not the worst choice. Also, one of the servers had great energy and a unique sense of style — definitely added a bit of charm to the experience.

Casual spot. Order inside and find a table. Enjoyed a nice evening outside and the food came reasonably soon. It had a good amount of heat in the vegetarian curry. A few fun drink options and beer and wine. Pretty good overall Thai food in a relaxed and casual setting.

Hat Yai has very generous portions with a great selection. Their fried chicken is great. But they have many different sets that let you get different curries, rottis, and other signature dishes. For your first time definitely get the fried chicken entree set and add a wing. It will come with a curry, delicious fried chicken, and great pickled veggies. If you don't want fried chicken they have many other options too. The fried chicken is moist, crunchy, with a light and herby batter. It comes with a tangy dipping sauce. This fried chicken is not heavy at all. There is street parking in the area. Expect to pay $16~24 (not including drinks). You order at the front then they bring the food out.

Not the meal I was expecting but very good. We got the hay yai for two. Not sure what all the pickled vegetables were but all but the jalapenos were very tasty. The chicken was crispy with only a little bit of fried breading, they way they flavor the chicken here is more about the pre dredging soak then the frying. The curry was extremely delicious and without many of the off putting typical issues that curry can face. The roti is close to naan but a little oily. And the sticky rice was near perfect being sticky but not burnt. We also got a thai iced tea which hit the spot of not being too sweet or to bitter.

I came here for lunch and ordered the Hat Yai Combo #1. This reminded me of Soul Food but the Thai version. The chicken was fried to perfection and the batter had some type of seasoning/herb that I couldn’t identify but elevated the experience. The curry was rich and flavorful, the roti was buttery and flaky. It was a decent sized portion that left me extremely full. I was shocked that the restaurant wasn’t super busy but appreciated the fact that I was able to get work done. This will be a spot I return to the next time I visit.

Loved the cozy homely feel. Loved the fried chicken set, the veggie curry set. The Hokkien noodles were to die for( we ended up repeating them), would even recommend the Muu hong if you love pork belly.

Honestly this place is seriously overrated. The food was really just okay - the brisket curry was a let down with the flavors underdeveloped and the Thai ground pork was just a salt bomb. The fried chicken had a nice crisp and I enjoyed the fried onions topping but the meat was bland. The worst part though was the ambience - blasting terrible music that’s designed to get people in and out. Such an overwhelming atmosphere with pretty underwhelming food. The people working there were kind though. Overall, we dont plan on going back.

So, I'd like to give this place 5 stars, but the place is a lie. They are named jojo, say they have jojos, but it's a lie. They have the best fried baked potatoes I've had in a while, but they sure as heck aren't actual jojos. They aren't pressure fried. They're double cooked. That's not a jojo. Liars.

Food was amazing! The chicken melt was tender and juicy. Staff was friendly and happy to help. The Jojos were really crispy and the seasoning was great.

Finally made it to the restaurant! My friends and I fell in love with this place when we found it as the food cart. Took my mom for lunch today and we tried a few different items. She loved the Mr. Onion burger and I loved the chicken melt. We both thought the loaded jojos took the win for favorite item. I enjoyed a princess peach margarita and we sat outside at their picnic tables. Place was clean, fun and definitely a vibe. Every drink I saw looked delicious and they do an employee drink that was a cool touch. Ended lunch with a salted chocolate chip cookie that was pretty damn good. Put this place on your list!

We were in PDX for less than a week and went to Jojo twice because it was so good. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the chicken sandwiches, the jojos were crunchy but soft in the middle. Topping to meat ratio was spot on. We will DEFINITELY be back.

Really excellent sandwiches and jojos. The chicken is perfectly crispy and juicy, the BLT was stacked and had excellent textures. The spicy loaded JoJo's were enormous, and went very well with their ranch.

Love this place. Their spicy chicken sandwich is 🔥. Jojos are good definitely get a alot for the portion. Drinks are great here too. Need to keep going to try more items.

Extremely yummy side salad and burger. Paid for bacon on my cheeseburger, there was a generous amount of thick cut bacon added. I requested extra pickles since there wasn't an option to select for more, and they also gave me plenty of extra pickles. Always very happy when special requests are noticed and honored, in addition to my order being accurate. Their crunch salad is AMAZING! They include some kind of chive-y creamy dressing on the side which was truly incredible. I'm also a big fan of the crispy shallots. I haven't been this impressed by a salad in a while. 10/10 meal. Can't wait to visit in person.

One of my very favorite places to go in Portland, and it has been for a long time. I'm always there on a Monday, and the guys working there are really the best... both in the kitchen and the front of the house guy, always the very best, and not just to me and my daughter but to everyone who walks through the door. It speaks for a restaurant when the same guys are working for years. Every time I eat there, it feels like it was the best time. I'm always getting wings but everything there is good, jojos, sandwiches, sides, sauces, etc. The staple sauces that come with regular order wings are unbeatable, a tangy hot sauce and a creamy Alabama white. I take my dad, I take my kids, I take anybody because it's just an excuse for me to go myself. This Glisan location is really awesome. Props to the crew and the owners too

Really good, insanely fast, the fresh cucumber pickles were a great little side for the wings. Currently eating "keto-ish" the fried dry rub wings seemed safe enough. Really great. Good as a wing gets. Not cheap but not expensive either. Getting something to eat while my wife has surgery across the street. She was starving and will be upset when she finds out. I can't eat the chicken for her... Or did I? I ate the chicken for her. Good deeds, great chicken.

Excellent Chicken Fried burger creation for their burger week entry August 2025! Nice atmosphere to chill, outdoor patio deck seating.

Lucky and glad I found this place today. Not able to visit the one on Beaverton before it closed, I had the opportunity today as my charge was over at the hospital and I had time to kill. Simply ordered JoJo's and a beer, but what caught me the most was how my server picked up on my heightened anxiety and worked into it quite properly to make me feel at ease and calm. Being able to set and relax was a relief. The JoJo's were a nice bonus as their outer crust was perfectly crunchy and super duper soft and mashed potato mushy on the inside. Not normally a seasoning on fires person, they, did it right. And the gold sauce? Am for two. I don't care if it's just Sysco food, Big's Chicken did those JoJo's right with their seasonings and temperatures. I will certainly be back for the rest of the chicken menu. Again, I cannot thank my server enough and I am bummed I was too twitterpatted and neglected to get her name. She was wonderful and helped to make my day all the more manageable. She, is what we need more of in this world, and those JoJo's slcertainly don't hurt. 💖😉

Late dinner Chicken was really good but I was in heaven with the potato wedges! The service was really friendly. I want to go back just to get the carbs hahaha

Our first time here and we’re impressed. The chicken and jojo’s was really good and we left the restaurant/bar with a full and happy tummy.

I got the veggie bowl with a fried egg. The broccoli was cooked and seasoned perfectly, better than I've ever had. The dish was quite spicy but not overwhelmingly so. Service was extremely friendly! The atmosphere is very chill and retro. Vintage newsprint from the 70s, with little comments written in cursive by people of the time, are displayed on the bar counter and complemented by good music from the 70s. The music wasn't loud and the restaurant was very peaceful. A great place to relax for lunch. Quite a lot of vegetarian options even though it's a chicken restaurant.

This place is fantastic! It’s one of my favorite places to eat chicken. I really enjoy their chicken, but I’m not a big fan of their potatoes. The service is amazing, and the atmosphere is great, even when it’s raining. The seating is perfect in an enclosed canopy. It’s definitely worth it!

Not only is the the best chicken, the best wings and the best salad in Ptown, the service is legit. Five Star eats at a food cart pod is no joke!

Prices are pretty high for the amount of food you get. The chicken is good I guess? It's decent jerk chicken--well roasted, well seasoned, but honestly nothing special. The Aji sauce is something pretty unique, but not quite worth the price you're paying. Don't be like me and order the quarter chicken, 'cause you'll definitely end up still hungry. At the same time, I can't really justify spending $26 for the half chicken. I can't really recommend this spot. There's nothing wrong with the food, but for the price, there's better places to eat at.

We had the Quarter Bird ($15) with Guns as the side and Peruvian Aji sauce. The chicken here is grilled over charcoal, so it has a deep smoky flavor and a deliciously crispy, charred edge. The 'Guns' — skin-on potato wedges — were super crispy and had a different kind of deliciousness compared to regular fries.

Super filling for the portion! Only complaint is sometimes due to the outdoor seating the area can feel a bit awkward due to bugs

I have never been disappointed eating at Chicken and Guns, from the first time I ate here 7 years ago when I first moved to Portland, to today the food has always been delicious, fresh, colorful, and well worth what you pay. The service is always top notch and all of the staff are super friendly and will not steer you wrong on food. This is one of my favorite food carts in Portland because of how flavorful the chicken is, how fresh their ingredients are, and for how generous their portions are.

By far the best chicken you get in portland. Its juicy, its flavors are on point. I get the salad always, but you could try the guns. I love the Peruvian ahi. Get an extra one always. Its really delusions.

After hearing about all the hype about this place having the best fried chicken in Portland I decided to take my mom while she is visiting me. We drove to the Alberta location just to find out that it is permanently closed. You need to mark that on Google maps that your permanently close so people aren't going thereto eat a a closed restaurant. It's really not that hard to let Google maps know that you're no longer at that location. Had to go to the one on Ash Street which is close to where I live already so it was a big waste of a drive. We ordered the whole chicken Traditional flavor, four sauces, four sides and two fountain sodas. First shocker each fountain soda was $4ea a little overpriced for the size that is equal to a can of Coke. Let's just say this is some of the worst fired chicken I've ever had. It is bland not much in the way of seasonings at all, super dry, and only slightly crispy. The flavor I got from the chicken was burnt flour. McDonald's chicken nuggets are better flavored. The sides are super small how can a family of four share a side thats only like one bite each out of a side (containers are 8 oz containers but not filled to the top only like 4-5 oz of side). The mashed potatoes were mediocre including the gravy. The corn was way overcooked and dried out looking with some weird taste to it. The waffle fries were soggy and soft and not crispy like they should be. The mac and cheese was horrible was like a buttery noodle with some cheap cheese whiz. Spending $70 on this meal is a ridiculous price for what is offered. I could have gotten too awesome ribeye steak dinners for that. Super disappointing I will never go back and I will never ever recommend this place to anyone unless you want the worst fried chicken and sides in the world.

I ordered only the jumbo chicken strips. I got a really good chicken. It was so tender and juicy inside. The spices on the flour were on point tho! Even the pickles were good. It wasn’t that busy when I came. The portion was fair. But I must admit that it was kinda pricey for a chicken.

Really nice and clean atmosphere shared with Kinnamons cinnamon rolls also additional covered patio seating. Menu offered sandwiches, chicken pieces, wings, tenders, half bird to whole bird and array of seasoning options and dipping sauces. Peach bbq sauce is amazing!

Came here with my nrother hoping to just get a little bite to eat, and have solidified a hidden gem for us. Walked in to the place playing some bangers right off the bat, instead of the Benson Boone/Taylor Swift/Teddy Swims loop. Absolutely bomb flavors, and sauces that are so good, you can only assume they're house-made. I don't even like Honey Mustard, but U was fibgering the little sauce cup clean lmaooo. The amount of chicken seems like a sham, but you'll understand that it's plenty after you eat the whole thing and have a beer or two. Definitely give it a whirl if you're a foodie, or just wanting a little chill spot for you and a friend. (sorry for the filtered pics)

I’ve been here a few times and luckily avoided the situations described in the 1-star reviews. The chicken is mid, the waffle fries are decent, and the sauces are okay. Staff is always nice to me. But prepare to feel greasy and gross the rest of the day. So much grease. And a little overpriced I think. The vibe is nice in there and it’s spacious and decorated nicely.

Black Portland I will make a detailed post for you. Please do not support them! I have been here many times and I have had an experience here by a colorless being. Please check it out you know where! If you ever have a problem here the customer service is terrible as expected by a ma le dominated place. I will add the man who smiled as I walked away with discomfort from this experience as a business owner myself I’m disappointed in the caliber of customer service, I guess I always got the correct order to not receive such emotional distress and pettiness from a cashier. FOR A TAKE OUT ORDER edit: I will not be responding to anything this business has to say because I reached out before coming back and their return time for responses is long through phone and social media.

The food is good but the service sucks; sauces were not with my to-go order, neither was my dessert and the guy who handed me my order at the counter didn’t even say anything or offer a replacement - I found out once I got all the way home. Lame customer service, this place used to be so good. The food is cool but it was extra cold this time, doubt I’ll return and def won’t be ordering for pickup again. Do better Bae’s.

From the moment I walked up, I knew I made the right decision. The warm and welcoming staff helped me with their favorite choices. The ribs were sold out, so if you’re set on them get there when they open. As a chef I rarely get the chance to eat out. This was a treat and well worth the 1.5 hour drive. I got the combo catfish/chicken and when they advertise loaded they were not kidding. Not only are the portions large, so is the flavor. Be prepared to share. Also got the pleasure seeing the owner of truck working, and engaging with her customers. You can tell she loves what she does and cares about her customers.

I loved every moment of my experience. This was my first visit and it did not disappoint. The vibe from the moment I went up with my aunt to put our names on the list was warm and welcoming. We were welcomed like family. When we were called up to place our order I was a bit overwhelmed by everything offered but it was explained to me perfectly and I was able to order the perfect meal food myself. When I got home I was shocked by the amount of food. Definitely enough for 3-4 meals. I tried a little bit of everything and loved it all. I got the meatloaf dinner. Can't wait to eat some more for lunch tomorrow

I enjoy going to the PDX Street Food park. The atmosphere is definitely native Portland with the spaceship and alien decor. I enjoyed the food at the LOADED food truck. The portion size is shareable. The price is steep but worth for the the quality and presentation of food. If you wants good home cooked food take drive to Northeast Portland. You will not be disappointed.

Our group drove down from The south Puget Sound area (Washington), to check Kee's Loaded...out. After arriving, we immediately learned, this place is legit! We were met with a warm greeting and a smile from the employees working the counter. Of course I asked, "where's Kee?" I was told, she was "in the back cooking." Maannn, the catfish and porkchop was Everything!!! This was one of the best foodie experiences I've had in a long while. We will be returning. I recommend this establishment!!

Food was good. At first the menu price can be intimidating but then you receive your “plate” and realize why she charges so much! Enough food for at least 2 people! It’s definitely worth a try.

Large amount of amazing foodz. The smoked on the ribs was amazing. Got 3+ meals out of one dinner. They fry on the catfish and chicken was perfect. Mac'ncheese was great. All the sides were very delicious also.

Food was cooked well, but I did not get what I thought I was getting. 1 hour long line and 2 hour wait after ordering was outrageous. Warning: place ran out of food at around 2:30, an hour and a half after open. Servicewith a smile but my star rating is reflecting the wait. After watching a tiktok review I really wanted to try the pork chops, mac n cheese, and the ribs. The place was out of food at 3:30 so I left to try the next day. The next day after waiting in line for an hour I got the Loaded Everything Plate at $80 plus tip. After ordering, waited another 2 hours before my name was called. I opened my food at home to find no ribs, mac n cheese, or pork chops. I was very disappointed. It's probably my mistake assuming the everything plate would be the one I saw on Tiktok. Based on most plates being $55 and mine being $80, I thought for sure what I wanted was going to be included. So if you go, be prepared to wait and make sure you are ordering exactly what you want instead of assuming like I did.

Small dive bar with great chicken and jojos. The chicken and jojos was very affordable. Lots of chicken and tasty potato wedges. Offered plenty of sauces to go with. I choose buffalo, ranch, and honey mustard. Be warned it takes time. The bartender was the one making the chicken so be chill, grab a beer while you wait. Totally worth it.

This was my 2nd time at this bar and it was great. I went in on Halloween and it wasn't busy at first but it quickly got busy. I mainly went in for their fried chicken and mojos. The chicken did take a little while as expected, so as a tip, order it asap! It'll take at least 20 minutes before you get it. Grab a drink while you wait. The bartender was a workhorse and stayed on top of everything. The only downside was the mostly crappy music being played on the jukebox, which was the patrons' fault lol. This was my 2nd time and I'll definitely be back for a 3rd.

probably the best bar in Portland but definitely the best fried chicken in portland. also drinks are cheap and you feel the place is part of the community rather than some private equity asset. 5 stars any day but show up expecting to wait an hour for your chicken. It’s part of the charm

Believe the hype. Yeah the food takes a while. It's quality and is hands down the best chicken in town. Order a drink, makes some new friends, enjoy the vibe, and the hour wait wont seem so long. This bar will always have my heart 🖤

Probably one of the best fried chicken meals you'll ever have in a dive bar in the U.S. It will take a really, really long time to get your fried bar food (they had one bartender working the bar and fryer when we went on a Saturday afternoon). The batter for the Jo-Jos and fried chicken are incredibly good. They are thick, crispy, with flaky layers--remeniscent of really good Korean fried chicken batter that is made for sauces. The dark meat chicken we got was super tender and juicy too. Fried pickles and onion rings seemed to have a lighter, tempura-veggie-like batter. If you live nearby, I think this would be a great spot for fried chicken. We're thinking about trying to make it our meet-up spot before Violet Hex / drag and queer movie nights at the Clinton Street theater. Ambiance is small dive bar-y. Bartender is overworked and super friendly. A few beers on tap, and some cans in the fridge. For those who care, the space might not be the most fat-friendly or accessible when it's crowded: the bathroom I used was tiny and not accessible, and there's some tables with stools or pull-out chairs.

We love literally all the bartenders, and patrons, here. The chicken is best I’ve ever had and their service is classic Portland friendly style. Thanks, Reel M Inn for all you do!

As authentic as it gets. Not a huge fan of the super thick potato slices, Lovingly called JoJo's, a whole potato sliced by eight rather than four feels like it'd be a little easier to handle. Chicken and sauces were top notch though as well as service and atmosphere. Classic spot you got to go!

First time there. Will not be my last. Order the chicken sandwich with heat. So yummy! Secret cheat code...order another before you leave so you can have another one later! Seriously! Anyway. Thumbs up and also if your friends are not into chicken it part of a shared space.so you can get pizza, tight tacos, banh mi, etc. Go there and enjoy some food! Visited again and the spicy chicken still tastes great! They got new padded booths! So nice.

Dan Dan fries were unique - never had anything like them before. I think if I were to order them again, I’d ask for the sauce on the side because by the end of the bowl I was itching for some plain fries. The chicken sandwich was okay. As much as I would’ve liked to have loved it, there was this weird flavor that I couldn’t really place… it was either the oil that they use or the spicy sauce itself. Maybe it was an off night and I might try again and edit this review!

Wow, crazy chicken sandwich. I had like post chicken sandwich clarity though. I got the dan dan fries and I mean I love the concept and the fries were really crispy and great, it’s just the peanut sauce is pretty salty and heavy. Perhaps a lighter version of the sauce would make the fries 10x better.

$10 for just one chicken sandwich send expensive but this one is actually with it. It comes with two fried slabs of chicken, and stacks high. The slaw is nothing to note except for its usefulness in catching the dressing that they put on which is a little bit spicy but carries the right flavoring to make the sandwich delicious.

Knock your socks off fried chicken sandwiches. Insanely huge with two pieces of chicken. Unless you have a huge mouth, you take one piece off and enjoy it for desert. ;-) Their "Nashville Hot" sauce is a nice cayenne-based sauce that has excellent flavor. I am originally from Nashville, so I can tell you, Basilisk is certainly better than quite a few Nashville Hot Chicken places. Definitely better coating and flavor than Hattie B's. Basilisk's chicken is a cut above by itself. I love Screen Door's fried chicken dinner, but, again, I think Basilisk has better coating and flavor. If they offered mashed potatoes and collard greens, I would move in and never leave. The macaroni salad is a bit bland, but good enough. You're here for the chicken, anyway. ;-) Overall, if you want an excellent fried chicken sandwich (Nashville Hot or not), Basilisk is the way to go in Portland.

Food couldn't have been better - see pics - it's as good as it looks. We loved our beers. Get the fried chicken salad! Cosy, open, perfect summery vibe. Nice space.

Fried chicken juicy and flavorful every time in all forms: sandwich, "salad", and the plate, which they do offer with no spice as a kid friendly option. My kiddo is into it. 👍🏼 I just love that all the other food spots that share the space have basically something for everyone. Plus beer, cocktails, and boba - whaaattt?!!?!

Went to Alberta Market after hearing the hype about it on Facebook. The staff were friendly and provided fast service. The chicken looked cooked well and it smelled good. The chicken tastes as good as it looks. I found it to be a bit pricey at $25 for $15 wings, but well worth it as you get the whole wing. I’ll definitely visit again.

Wings are good as hell! Worth the 45min walk to & from lol It’s a regular corner store but also sells chicken. No legs or thighs were available when I went today so idk if they only sell wings or if they just ran out of legs/thighs this particular day. I will be back tho! The ladies working there are very sweet too 💜

The food was amazing here! The chicken is so flavorful and well seasoned. The funny thing is that they literally had to refill the case! So great and so sad we don’t live nearby! 5/5 Stars.

Albert Market Aka Jacks was amazing before Keith Lee and has still been amazing since. I appreciate how hard the staff continues to work with the increase in traffic since the viral tik tok influencers made a stop in. They are turning out impressive numbers of chicken without jeopardizing the quality of the chicken we all love.

The fried chicken taste like it was made at home by grandma. Seasoned not salty but flavorful. The chicken skin is crispy the meat is tender.

Best chicken wings I've had in my entire life, easy five star review. I am a little nervous about coming since all the influencers came through (I hate crazy lines) but I'm coming soon.

The BEST fried chicken wings I've ever had. The jojos are just okay. If you love fried chicken wings, you won't be disappointed.

I haven't been in person just yet, but have ordered from this place many times. Delicious gluten-free fried chicken every single time! Although I can't seem to find any info on if the other things are gf as well. Mac n cheese? Gravy? The sando? Would love to know.

I got a recommendation from a friend so I had high hopes going in and I was not disappointed! The chicken was delicious and probably the crispiest chicken I've ever had! 🤤 Everything we ordered was amazing, flavorful, and gorgeous and I can't wait to go back but unfortunately I live a little bit away. 😭

Food genius. I was expecting plastic ware in my rolled up napkin. What a great idea to provide gloves. But, the only drawback is not getting to lick your fingers. The sauce was flavorful without being overbearing. Fries were good. Pickled jicama was a nice palate cleanser. For 3 people we had the soy/ginger tenders, a chicken sammich, the sweet (i cant remember the name) sauced tenders, and the mashed taters with curry gravy. Portions were large enough to share. Food was hot, cooked to order. Reasonably priced. 5 stars, for sure.

Their chicken has the perfect amount of breading to chicken ratio & they're big! The meat is so juicy and they give you gloves to eat them. The kimchi mac and cheese is balanced with a small hint of spice so everyone can enjoy! If you've never had kimchi before you may not like it, but if you're feeling adventurous it tastes creamy, cheesy, spicy and a little sour.. the noodles are also cooked to al dente (the superior noodle texture). The plum drink could use a bit more plum extract or syrup in my opinion, I didnt taste much of the plum but it was refreshing for what it was.

Overall this is a solid food cart, I actually think my favorite thing I tried was their Kimchi Mac and Cheese. The kimchi and cheese flavors were very strong, and the mac and cheese was very creamy. We tried two chicken flavors, the snow cheese wings and Gochujang tenders. The snow cheese flavor was my favorite (the outside texture has good flavor but the chicken inside isn’t seasoned super well) The gochujang sauce was a bit too sweet for me and lacked much spice Service is fast, and there’s good seating in the food cart park

Let me start with what we ordered. We ordered 2 bags. The first was 3 Soy Garlic wings (SGW) and Garlic Butter Rice. The second was 3 Snow Cheese wings (SCW) and Korean Curry Gravy and Mashed Potatoes. The young lady that waited on us was great! She was able to make recommendations, answer questions, and describe the food. This is important when you are eating somewhere for the 1st time. Because of that, we went outside the box and ordered the SCW. These were oddly delicious and easily the best part of the meal. They don't really have a cheesy taste, but have a savory 1st bite that changes to some faintly sweet backnotes. It's almost like a sticky wing. Crispy, hot, and worth going back for. The SGW was a disappointment. There is a Korean fried chicken chain that has SGWs, and that is the taste I've come to expect. It was a weaker taste and didn't have the crisp of the SCWs. Maybe the sauce was too heavy or sat on the wing too long? I'm only guessing. My brother loved the rice. I thoroughly enjoyed the potatoes, while there was gravy on them. The potatoes were real mashed potatoes. I would have happily given up som3 potato room for more of that gravy. We had some fries from another food truck and used them as scoops because the gravy was a star in its own right. I washed it all down with a Korean Plum soda that was refreshing and hit the spot. Overall, if I come back to Portland, I would come here again for the SCW and that gravy.

Perfect afternoon lunch spot. Put in your order and head over to Fracture for a draft to enjoy in the sunshine while you wait. Delectable spicy chicken sandwiches and massive, juicy chicken drumsticks. Kimchi mac is a must! (It would be so awesome if you guys started doing kimchi mac and cheese bowls with fried chicken ❤️ it could be our secret 🤫)

Crazy good. Crazy cheap. Makes me proud to live in PDX. This place is a perfect example of Portland taking food to the next level. I was just down in San Francisco and paid $70 for a bowl that I would argue tastes worse than heavenly bliss they serve here. Brussels sprouts. Not a #1 on my list. But this place somehow made them my favorite part of the dish. I leave this place feeling like I took some supplements. You know that feeling when your body tells you all the vitals are in check. Yup this place does that. Arguably the best soup, dumplings, and somehow fried chicken spot on PDX. You need to go here, it's not a matter of if, but when. Plan it, do it. You won't be disappointed. In fact you'll be back for more with friends.

Loved! Tofu rice bowl. Tons of veggies. Delicious. Daughter had the fried chicken rice bowl. Ate it all! We are very selective. Can’t wait to come back. Front of the house was very welcoming. .

Fried chicken rice bowl contains chicken, vegetables, cucumbers, kimchi, etc., as well as rice. It is much bigger than the picture, so it is enough to fill you up. It tastes even better when you add the spicy sauce on the table. The menu does not include 3% CAT, and the actual price is calculated with it.

Excellent burger week burger experience for the second year in a row. Arrived shortly before closing, and they were still slinging burgers! The staff brings your meal to you, and busses your table for you.

I started off my Saturday with a great meal with a good friend. We had a reservation for a distillery tour and we wanted to make sure we had a good base for the day ahead. Overall our experience was great. The staff was really nice and the food came out quickly. The ramen was pretty good, I’d say maybe a 7. The Fried Chx Rice bowl definitely hit the spot as well as the buns.

I really like this food, from the moment I walked in to when I waited for my food the ambiance was very welcoming. Very open, the menu on the wall is also big and easy to read. I opted for the pork rice bowl, definitely surprised at the balance of ingredients. It didn’t seem like a lot, but the serving size is very accommodating. The team smiled and welcomed every person. It did get busy after receiving the food. The hibiscus mango tea was great. Can’t wait to visit again.

We have only ordered the food for delivery. That said, the first time we ate from here our taste buds were treated with what seemed like a new flavor with every bite. I was even more pleased to be able to enjoy breaded chicken that not only was GF, it was actually good. The next time we ordered, all was still delicious. By the third and fourth time, I am unsure if the food has changed or we are getting used to it. However, Boke bowl is still one of our top 5 default places to order from if we don’t want to go out or cook.

A cute, fun, and bright spot for yummy Italian food! We made a reservation for 7 and got seated right away. The service was quick, but not that friendly. And for an automatic 25% gratuity, which we were not told about prior, I expect excellent service, which we did NOT receive. I eventually saw it at the bottom of the menu…but that’s neither here nor there. You’re knowingly getting a 25% tip, so either you’re not even trying because it’s automatic and/or you just don’t care and maybe you shouldn’t work in customer service. Our server seemed smug and dropped off dishes too quick to answer any questions or ask for any other requests. I had to ask if there were any specials; he didn’t openly tell us about it. The food was really good, though and I loved the ambience. But the service really put a damper on the experience.

Delicious Italian food and cocktails. Loved the beets by Dre cocktail. Recommended dishes : beet salad 10/10, seafood spaghettini (best dish we had!) , gnocchi and meatballs were also delicious! Olive oil cake was also delicious but a bit dense per my liking! Would definitely come back to try more on their menu.

I came here on Monday night to specifically to try their monthly chicken parm special (which you can only get on Mondays) and wish I would have gone sooner! I wasn’t prepared for how much I would like it and will definitely be back for more. This month’s special was such a great mix of sweet and savory notes. The portion was large, especially when adding the pasta. It was easily two meals, which worked out great for leftovers the next day. I’m not generally a calamari fan but thought I would give it a shot since my bf really wanted to try it. It had really great flavors and am glad I tried it, but didn’t turn me into a calamari lover. Gumba is always a win in my book!

Gumba has been a favorite of ours so it was a no brainer to have them cater our wedding in North Portland. From the consultation to the wedding day, the general manager John and his team were amazing to work with! He is so chill and made sure all of our needs and wants were met. The food at the wedding was the main event and guests have not stop raving about it! John and his team provided amazing service and were such a welcome presence. They even went above and beyond and prepped kid specific meals without us asking, and boxed up all of our leftovers for us to take home!

Gumba is absolutely my favorite Italian restaurant in Portland. All of the food blew me away. These pictures are from two separate visits. The Fry Bread was so light and fluffy and paired with the Chicken Liver Mousse it was heaven. I don’t like chicken liver … I would venture to say that I hate chicken liver … but that mousse is absolute magic. The pickled onion and pickles raisins were a perfect pairing. I could eat that every day and be happy. The clams were fresh and the citrus saffron sauce was so well balanced it was a sort of dance of flavors and textures that all worked well together. Not pictured were the tangerine marinated olives. I want a giant jar of those at my house at all times! Olives are give or take for me, but by god those are the best olives I have ever eaten in my life! They are sweet with a slight heat that was very pleasant. The Garlic bread and the meat balls were the perfect happy hour appetizer for two. Both delicious and the meat balls were cooked perfectly. The Spaghettini was divine. The mascarpone added a fresh light creaminess that pulled all the other flavors together and the squid ink pasta made for a great presentation and was absolutely delicious. The Tagliatelle was so light and fresh and that Dungeness Crab was a delicious treat! The star of the pasta show was the Pappardelle. I felt like Anton Ego in “Ratatouille” when I took the first bite. Absolute silence and reverence for the most perfect pasta dish I have ever eaten in my entire life. The flavors are so so complex yet comforting and the beef is so tender it falls apart. It was so flavorful and comforting it made me sigh with relief … from what I don’t know but there it is. If you are in Portland looking for Italian food, please check out Gumba. You will not be disappointed!

Its small but the flavors are big. Make a reservation if you can and be prepared for street parking as most places in Portland are. Hands down the best pasta I've ever had and I'm not exaggerating. There were 3 of us and we shared a fry bread, vodka gnocchi, short rib parpadell, and the artichoke. Every single item was amazing. We had the panna cotta which i didn't like it was too sour but my mom loved it, and the cannoli which was 7/10. Will definitely return when we are back in Portland.

First time here and the food was fabulous. We didn’t have reservations but the host found us a table for 3. The restaurant is bigger than what it looks like on the outside. The ambiance is very charming! Started with appetizer of the fry bread and fried artichoke hearts. Had a bottle of Pinot Noir. Entrees were the braised beef shirt rib pappardelle pasta, lasagna and pappardelle with meatballs and vodka sauce (this was originally made with gnocchi which I don’t like) I was able to substitute it for the pappardelle which was delicious. All the entrees were fresh ingredients full of flavor. If you are looking to try a new place, I highly recommend!

Ahhhh What can I say about this gem Great energy Amazing food The bouquet on the pork was just so divine And kale and keema - Desi fusion baby I wanted to try multiple protein options. They were open to giving me a scoop each. Super grateful for the flexibility. I shall here forth call this the Lion special 🦁🦁🦁

Visiting from out of town- this is some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had!!! The flavors were unlike any Indian food I’ve tried- still traditional but with a delicious twist. You can’t go wrong, every single thing on their menu is amazing. We hope to come back for more soon. Cheers!!

I wanted to come here after seeing it on Somebody Feed Phil. I got a Veggie Thali Platter which was delicious. I get Indian food a lot and this was very unique compared to other Indian food I've had. I wish this food cart pod had more heaters for cold days, but overall, I loved it and would highly recommend it!

So delicious, but watch out, it’s spicy! Well at least it was for me who gets mild/ medium at Thai restaurants. I got the shrimp plate and loved the combo of the grilled shrimp, pickles, rice, and the mint chutney. Also got the carrot/coconut mushy dessert—was a surprise on the warmth and mushiness, but was very helpful in getting the spice down

Holy, Lord. I got the lamb kale bowl — one of the best meals I had visiting Portland.

DesiPDX is fire. The cardamom chai chicken was perfectly spiced—so tender and flavorful. The katsu plate? Super crispy and packed with flavor. Even the sides are thoughtful. You can tell there’s real love and intention behind the food. Total gem—support spots like this!

I definitely prefer the vegan plate over the fried chicken! The chai cardamom wings didn't give me too much flavor. But the vegan plate on the other hand was nutty and delicious.

The best wings I’ve ever had! Perfectly fried and not greasy at all! The hot ones are spicy but good spicy & flavor! One cashier there that cooks and cleans up with excellent attitude! Definitely my go to place when I’m shopping near here! 10 times better the Hot Wings! Without the grease and attitude!

Its wings and it’s better then the main brand wing places. The wings cooked close to where you expect if not perfect they have crunch but not burnt crunch I like to eat the ends so they are perfect for that. The jojo are definitely the side item to get. I went on a Sunday for lunch and wasn’t too busy only had to wait maybe 10 minutes for a pretty big order of at least 30 wings and some jojo. They had a lot of to go orders. Seating can get limited if a bigger party comes in then could feel crowded.

This is my family’s favorite chicken wing restaurant. The soy garlic flavor is the best. We also like the hot wings. So half-half choice is perfect. The wings are not too soft and not too hard. The coating is in the right thickness and it is not too oily. The wings are tasty with the pickles. Perfect to go with beer as a nighttime snack. We called and ordered for takeout and it took only 10 mins for the order to be ready.

My neighbors told.me.about the good chicken so decided to check the place out. Friendly service and nice staff. Good selection of Korean beer, other beers and soda. We had fried chicken wings that was garlic and soy and the other dish I don't remember. My kid loves Korean food and culture and I asked her the dish name twice today and forgot already...looks like pasta but is rice noodles, fish cakes and spicy sauce with cheese on top. Food was delicious and wings on point. Will have to try other sauces.

new review: while the chicken is still good, it is as crunchy as I remember it. You order up front and bus your own tables. I prefer the spicy ones over the soy garlic. I am a fan of how many wings I got ( very little drumsticks). prior review: Delicious fried chicken. The sides and all other dishes are a pass. -1 star for the wait since the wait time is so inconsistent. Parking is okay, it is in a big lot near TJ. The extra spicy is not that spicy.

Delicious wings the establishment is clean and cozy affordable price friendly staff. Will return again.

I love soy garlic flavor.! My family loves it so much. They gave to me Pickled of radishes and coleslaw. They were great match with wings.! Facility is a clean. Receptionist is very kind. Kitchen is very organized and looking so good. 100% I will be back when I have a chance.! Great service.

A really lovely vegan pizzeria. I highly recommend checking them out. The crust is really special and delicious. I look forward to visiting again so I can try another flavor.

Amazing place. All vegan menu with pizza that are just incredible. Will absolutely go again and so far it's the best vegan pizza place I've ever been to. The ingredients are top notch and the cheese they use is perfect and the portion sizes are generous. You won't be disappointed and you won't leave hungry.

Some of the best gluten-free vegan pizza I’ve ever had! I have never had vegan deep dish gluten-free pizza before, so this was fabulous. The crust was quite good. I especially loved the cheese sticks. I have Celiac, and I did not get sick!

This place has the best vegan pizza I've had in my life. My wife agrees too and she don't really mess with vegan pizza like that. I give it a 10/10. She gave it a 9/10 which is wild cause she's a pizza maniac. I'd describe it as str8 slammin like that one Freddie Gibbs mixtape.

We had the Jimmy pesto, and it was hands down the best pizza I have ever had! It’s been almost 2 weeks and I looked up the place to post a review, as I am still dreaming about that pizza sitting a thousand miles away from Portland. No one should miss this kind of food in their lives. Please, do yourself a favor and go try this amazing place!

The food was delicious! We are from out of town, and we'd never been to Boxcar Pizza before. I am gluten free and vegan, so finding good pizza is tough. This was THE BEST vegan, gluten free pizza I've ever had! They also had Cheesy Garlic Bread that had a gluten free option. Simply amazing!

I would only get to-go pizza from here because there isn’t much seating inside, but it’s some of the best vegan pizza in town. There’s a legit cheese pull. One square pizza feeds two comfortably. I ordered the Ape Dos Mil and small Cesar Kale Salad.

One of the most unique Thai place I've been. Super casual environment and really friendly staff. We ordered the wings (like everybody else), pork belly with prawns in glass noodle and curry beef. Every dish was well cooked. Definitely want to come back and try the other dishes.

Really authentic flavors, unique Thai Street food that you can't normally get... Don't expect pad Thai or other such items. Their drink menu is also adventurous, thoughtful and creative with fusion elements bringing east and west flavors together. The decor makes you really feel that you are in a small village in Thailand. We also felt that the chicken with the 2 dipping sauces (second item on the menu) was the highlight for food, even better than the wings everyone raves about. Service was also very friendly and helpful. Thanks for a wonderful lunch!

This place is already known for good food so nothing much I can add further but I would like to share my 2cents for their small details. The water served was i think mixed with Coconut water or something with Coconut. Normally it will be just a tap or still water but this small difference looked their key to success. In addition, they served two corns with Coconut cream which we ordered one but the corns were small so we got two of them. Great service and food! SNGW!

I don't come down to Portland often. The last time I tried to go to Pok Pok several years ago, it was closed! This time I was successful in eating at Pok Pok, the indoor dining area is small & cozy. They have outside dining area plus take out. Apparently the takeout menu is different from the dining menu. They had a Tom Yum ramen for takeout that was not available for dining in. We had the famous chicken wings, it live up to it's reputation & diners review about it. They weren't kidding- it was OMG! We also ordered the Pok Pok special with half a BBQ chicken with 2 yummy & different dipping sauce served with the papaya salad & glutinous rice in a basket. The papaya salad was yummy... chicken was tender & juicy, their dipping sauces were good. One was spicy & the other was sweet & sour, both were good. Service was good, bring our first time there, the server recommended the Pok Pok special. All in all, a yummy experience! Until next time.

Delicious and spicy food! The dishes are a little overpriced and are on the smaller size. The wait is also ridiculous. On a Saturday night, the wait was 1.5 hours. On a Sunday afternoon, the wait was 30 min. I suggest going during off-peak hours if you really wanna try the food. Definitely delicious and worth the hype.

This is possibly one of the best restaurants in Portland. The ambiance and feel is perfect. The waiter was fantastic from making sure we where taken care of to making the sure we where getting the most immersive experiences. Then there is the food! Every dish was cooked to perfection, the flavors where a symphony, each one more amazing than the last. If you are in the area you must try this place out!

Pork Bao with bone-in is amazing!! $5. Fish sauce wings is very flavorful but definitely smells like fish sauce even after you've eaten it. $14. Overall, very good!

It's a good place to get a quick bite to eat. We came to her as my friend hasn't tried them out yet. He ordered the 2 piece tender meal, and I had the tender and slider meal. The person working the counter was nice to us while we figured out what we wanted. The food came out pretty quick, which was nice.

This was my first time at Dave’s and it did not disappoint it was very good and quick as well! The 10 dollar chicken slider with fries is a great deal and a must try! As well the tenders with fries is a good option as well. The only reason why I’m giving a 4 is because I’ve had better chicken elsewhere but for what it was Dave’s is definitely up there

" A novel and worthwhile experience " When I pulled in their parking lot I was fortunate to get their last parking spot as they were packed to the gills - a symptom of any successful business! In addition to their parking lot being full there was a line of 5 cars eagerly waiting to reach the speaker and place their order. Once I stepped inside I saw a dinning room filled with at least 30 patrons gleefully enjoying their food and fellowshiping with their friends. I was 3rd in line and patiently waiting for my chance to see what all the fuss was about, as this was my first time eating Dave's Hot Chicken. I ordered two sliders, fries and a drink for $18. They're able to sauce your chicken to varying levels of spiciness so even though I love hot food, I decided to start with the standard middle of the road "hot". The young man who took my order was EXCELLENT! He was friendly, answered a few questions with patience and respect, and even offered me their special sauce for my fries. All other staff members were dashing around to and fro and seemed very focused on filling the orders. This impressed me as it's common to see heads down and phones in hand. My food was available within 5 minutes and once returned to the counter to retrieve it I was instantly delighted by the pure size of the sandwiches! Since they're listed on the menu as sliders I expected these things to be puny, but these sandwiches were huge! As it turns out I could've gotten by with just one. The chicken breast tender was large, juicy, served hot, and packed with flavor. Their standard hot is very family friendly and next time I'll get their hottest offering. The fries tasted bomb too. They were seasoned very well, crispy on the outside and soft and steaming hot on the inside. They paired perfectly with their special sauce. Seeing as how I arrived at 9pm and they were still so busy, I'm unsure when their off peak hours actually are. I might have to wait several months before I return and hopefully catch them with fewer customers. The only demerit is that they don't offer any bone in chicken. I can only imagine it's due to the difference in cook times. If you like premium chicken sandwiches / tenders / nuggets you need to RUSH to Dave's Hot Chicken right away!

I have been driving by this place nearly every day for quite awhile now but never stopped because I just wasn't sure. Today I got a flat and was next door at Les Schwab when I decided it was time. I am so glad I did! Goodness! This chicken is so good! Flakes and tasty. They have several degrees of flavor for any pallet. I had 2 sliders, which are only slightly smaller than a full size burger, one mild and one medium with Mac n cheese. So delicious! I will definitely be back!

Always love theses restaurants . Absolutely no complaints Excellent customer service. Easy menu Drive way , drive through easy off street. Always clean. Good place for kids too . Outside tables

Food and service is great. Food is fresh and delicious. Workers are really nice, shoutout Isaias he's a real one. Overall best Dave's I've been to the environment is really nice and they were the quickest to bring the food out usually it takes quite a while at other locations.

Wanted to Love It… But Didn’t I was so excited to try the cauliflower bites and mac and cheese — really wanted to add them to my favorites list. Sadly, not this time. The mac was creamy but lacked flavor, and the cauliflower bites tasted like they’d been hanging out in old oil. Fingers crossed for a better batch next time!

I was looking for a quick bite to eat so I could kill time before stopping at a car show and stumbled upon a small food cart pod off Powell. This was located in a small shopping plaza and had plenty of parking. I’ve always heard of Jojo Pdx and never had a chance to try it until now. This food cart is straight to the back and when I walked up to order, the guys working the cart kind of just stood there. No one greeted me of acknowledged me. I waited a few more minutes for someone to come take my order as they all saw me standing there, yet still no one smiled or said a word to me. So I told them I was ready to order. Ordered some strips and jojos and a chicken sandwich. Food was fresh and chicken was juicy and moist. The chicken was pretty bland and lacking in flavor. Didn’t taste like there was any seasoning or anything on it. Jojos were good and crispy. We sat at a table in the corner near the parking lot. Cute little shop. Customer service at the food cart could definitely use some work.

Their fried chicken sandwich is legit! So crispy and juicy. I visit jojo very often and they never let me down. Jojo is so delicious as well!! Definitely a must try food truck!!

I tried The Standard chicken sandwich. I don't want to compare but the build is similar to Popeyes but it's so much better. The fried chicken is thicker and the bun is perfect. At this point I don't think I can recommend this cart enough. I'm now biking across town just for this sandwich.

I had Southern fired chicken sandwich and my husband had classic cheese burger. Both are amazingly delicious! The chicken sandwich was not heavy and crispy with lots of flavours. We liked Jojo fries so much too! As they start cooking after we order, they were so hot and fresh :) definitely wanna come back again.

Really fantastic brunch! We had the chicken and waffles, the hash, and the cinnamon roll. Everything was delicious. The hash was one of the best I’ve ever had. The cocktails and mocktails were also great! The vibe is cool inside with plants everywhere and quite a bit of outdoor seating. Service was too! We will happily come back.

Really tasty. Found them from Instagram. I thought the cheese on the Jojo fries would have been some type of nacho cheese. It's not. Just melted like American cheese maybe. They tasted okay. The sandwich however was delicious! Amazing customer service. Highly recommend.

How these burnt fried Brussels Sprouts made it out of this food truck is beyond me. All of them completely inedible. I won’t be ordering from them again. Completely disappointed

Wow I just found out about Lorells and had to give them a try. Let's just say I wasn't disappointed. First of all the fries were some of the best fries I've ever had. I feel like I always need to dunk my fries in Ketchup or ranch, but I literally devoured all of mine without any condiments!! Soooo good. The wings are delicious as well! They don't skimp on the portion size and the flavor and batter is delightful! I got the two piece wings with fries and I'm stuffed!! The owner is super nice! Happy Birthday Lorell!

Hands-down, the best chicken I’ve ever had in my entire life. Worth a trip if you’re out of town go to the Lloyd center, I Guarantee you will love it. I bought the wing basket and then a chicken strip basket as well 10 full chicken wings a bunch of french fries for $35. I like to eat a ton of food. I couldn’t eat it all myself. The kids tore up the tender basket. All white chicken breast tenders. Truly amazimg

Had to stop in and grab some of the best chicken in town so good. If you've never been, I suggest you give them a try. The owner is an absolutely amazing dude. Keep up the good work, y'all. Btw happy birthday to the owner, Darell

Ordered the tenders. I’m sure the chicken wings are fine but the tenders were dry and basically big chunks of chicken breasts inconsistently covered with breading and fried. See photos. Wonderful customer service.

Best rub on earth! Crispy, hot, & flavorful! They have closed prematurely a few times which is a loss of star. But we still came back! Sets a vibe with music sometimes

Here’s the thing, the chicken really is the best fried chicken I have had in Portland and I consider myself well versed. I recommend the whole wings with extra sauce on side so you can enjoy the crisp coating (perfect amount by the way almost like Korean Fried chicken in the beautiful and satisfying crunch). The tendes were also fantastic and I think in and out could take a lesson on fresh cut fries. Overall great experience and worth a trip to the Lloyd center even on a sunny days. Stoopid burger is also there doing what they do best in a 50’s diner setting which is a bit surreal when your are used to the original location. Grab some wings, some fries some burgers, enjoy the future Tonya Hardings in action and support fantastic local products.

Str8 up, the food was off the chain. The chicken had mad flavor in it. The fries and chicken was cooked to perfection! Everything was hot and fresh. I had the Hot Honey Flex Basket. It wasn’t too hot. Just enough for you to know the hot was there. Honey was on point. Customer service was great and they were friendly! Definitely coming back.

The food was excellent. We were told that it was the busiest Tuesday they have ever experienced. Our waiter was very friendly and he explained that due to the traffic back up this evening, they got swamped. We had to ask a few times for our drinks. He even asked if he had forgotten anything, of which we informed him that we had not received our drinks or clam chowder. One clam chowder arrived after we received our entrees. Then the sodas and ice tea arrived, another reminder about the second order of chowder being missing, but it never arrived. We informed a lady who had delivered our meals earlier, and she appeared to have her purse in hand and snarkily replied, "Sorry, I'm leaving for the night. You will have to ask your waiter." It was just a busy night, I guess. Return visit...8/17/24 Today, we had the best server who made excellent recommendations for our lunch selections. I went with a special benedict with avocado, tomatoes, and Hollendaise, plus hashbrowns. My friend went with the country benedict, which is a buttermilk biscuit, sausage gravy, fried chicken, poached eggs, more gravy, and is served with hashbrowns. All very good. I bumped my rating back up to 5 stars.

My partner and I love visiting this bar—it’s become one of our favorite spots, especially when Siri is working! She’s incredibly kind, attentive, and always fun to talk to, which makes every visit even better. The vibe is always welcoming, and the food never disappoints. If you go, don't miss the pulled pork sandwich—it's seriously mouthwatering and one of the best we've had. Whether you're stopping by for a quick drink or settling in for a full meal, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!

This casual bar/restaurant is excellent. My wife and I happened to be in the area and were looking for a place to get a cocktail and lunch, and we really got lucky with the Lighthouse. We can recommend the house wings, steamers, burger and fish sandwich. Actually, I'm sure whatever you order will be an excellent version of that thing.. Very good atmosphere and service. Clean and friendly. We look forward to returning for their dinner menu as soon as we have the chance.

This place is my not-so-secret secret spot. Been on a mission to find a place with wings that remind me of ones back in Virginia and Lighthouse has come the closest. I make the drive out here whenever I really am craving a solid wing. French fries are great. Service is always killer. Pool table and plenty of tables. It’s truly a gem

I ordered the fried chicken dinner. That and the mashed potatoes and gravy were fabulous! It also came with greens, which I love and was very excited to try them. They were absolutely horrible!!! Not edible at all. So filled with vinegar that even the smell is horrible! They looked good, but there was no way I could eat them. Please learn how to make them the right way!!!!

Everything was made fresh and not microwaved from a box. My pulled pork sandwich had that smoke house slow smoke delicious flavor to it accompanied by a sweet sticky sauce 😋. The fries are made fresh and not frozen. OMG delicious. My wife got to enjoy the fish and Chips. Beer battered cod with a local brew. This place was Unexpectedly delicious. Menu is simplified with easy choices. You can't go wrong. I hope you get the pleasure of meeting Armad. 😊 what a great person to meet. So much life in that guy

So nice to have a local watering hole with fantastic food. The service is always spot on (Siri and Summer rule). Pretty damn good ribeye for an out of the way place on highway 30. Also one of my favorite cheeseburgers in town.

Modern Korean restaurant with disappointing food and service. We came for brunch on a Friday. Despite being only one of 3 tables in the restaurant, they forgot to put in our drinks order (which they apologized for and comped) and then never picked up the check, while all the servers were chatting in the back. Food was decently flavorful and well presented (for brunch) but 2 of 3 dishes were overcooked. The omurice egg was perfectly soft but the kimchi rice below it was mushy. The scallion waffle had a great soy maple sauce but the waffle was dry and crunchy.

Enjoyable meal and welcoming atmosphere on a chilly evening. We had a vegetarian in our group of four and she loved everything. We appreciated that we could order the fried chicken and swap out one wing for a piece of fried cauliflower for her. Everyone is fresh and light. It’s like elevated Korean comfort food. We would love to try brunch.

A great spot for Korean fried chicken or little sandwiches. The staff were all very kind, though a bit slow. The food itself was well priced and very tasty. I recommend this spot and look forward to going back to try out a few more menu items. Update* I went back and definitely recommend the happy hour for the fries and rolls which were fantastic.

Chicken wings were really good but every other dish was absolutely off. The dumplings had this flavor that I just can’t understand and the hand pulled noodles dish was beyond off. Everything kinda Tasted the same with this weird Indian flavor and maybe some people like this but in my opinion as a Asian trained chef this place killed me. On the way to have a second dinner at the moment. If I was this shop I would stick to the wings and the chicken sandwich. I haven’t tried anything else. Oh and our experience with the waitress was absolutely worthy of a twilight zone episode. Place is cool. People are friendly. I’d only come Back for the fried chicken and the sandwich.

We loved everything we ordered. The bibimbap was my fave with crisped rice with beets and pork. We also ordered pork belly. It was still sizzling when it was brought to the table. The staff were attentive and multiple people checked on us during our meal.

Really lovely food and atmosphere. We popped in for a quick lunch on a Saturday and were seated right away. Everything we ordered was fantastic. We finished off with the mochi butter cake and it was phenomenal. One of the best meals I’ve had in awhile and i love that there were a few vegetarian options! It would be so cool to see an impossible beef bao bun on the menu! 😎

Absolutely delicious food!!! We got the toki breakfast with steak, the sweet fried chicken sandwich, and the vegetarian brunchwrap supreme. Highly recommend the sweet fried chicken sandwich, so delicious. Prices were reasonable too!!! Edit: have bumped toki down to 3 stars after my second visit. Service was incredibly slow. I waited for 40 minutes for my food before giving up and canceling my food to go eat at the sandwich shop up the street. Really dissapointing. Toki's food is absolutely delicious if you can actually get it😮‍💨

amazing bar with good beer, selection and amazing cocktails, especially if you like whiskey and an old-fashioned. Lots of really solid food spots. My favorite chicken sandwich, great vermicelli bowls and bahn mi sandwiches. The tacos and burritos are great too.

Four or five great food options in a food pavilion kind of setup. Very casual and grunge vibe with some outdoor seating. Fully stocked bar with some good beers on tap. Love this place. Will definitely come back when I'm in town.

Great atmosphere. Good food choices. Parking can be tricky so you might have to park a few blocks away. Lots of open space and tables.

09/28/16: 4.5 out of 5 - Wednesday running group wanted try something different so we decided to go to The Zipper. Here we were enchanted by Basilisk. The menu is simple and the food is tasty and the staff were nice. What more can one ask for. What was amazing was how evenly the chicken was cooked. The seasoning was excellent and the chicken was moist. The slaw was good but a little messy. So try this place out once and decide for yourself. This was a winner for all of us.

Very cool place with a bunch of different places to eat and outdoor seating with fire pits. The chicken sandwich was probably the best thing we had. Ramen was kind of bland. The bimBipbap smelled sooo good, but it was bland tasting too which was a little disappointing. Also tried the burrito from the Mexican place which wasn’t that great.

This place is fun with a great vibe and nice food diversity. Tons of room on the patio too. The falafel bowl was delicious and fresh. I'll take any out of town friends here.

Delicious food! Excellent spot to meet up with friends for a quick bite and Happy Hour style hangout

Restaurant was super clean, open kitchens are always rad and it’s fun to watch the chefs work. Staff was friendly and recommended various drinks to us, all of which were fantastic. Where it fell short for me was the food, the deviled eggs all you could taste is the bacon vs the seasonings you’d come to look forward to. When the fried chicken came out it wasn’t juicy at all and I only found myself enjoying the skin, once again under seasoned here as well. Maybe it was just an off night? Not sure, but left very underwhelmed.

Delicious brunch! We kinda took over with our party of 10 on a Saturday morning, but we were sat right away and treated to a delicious breakfast. Their staff was really strong which made for great service. We had gf and vegetarians in the family but everyone found something they were excited about on the menu. I went with the breakfast sandwich and got a side of their house made hot sauce, DELICIOUS! Plates were cleaned and drinks finish as everyone agreed it was a bright, tasty, well cook brunch. Wish we lived in town so we could come back again!

The English breakfast special for brunch was absolutely perfect. Enormous portions, and they really just nailed every detail. The crisp on the bacon was perfect, the mushrooms are amazing. I have been coming to this bar for many years, and it never disappoints. I really love that they started brunch on the weekends. Thanks!!!

A++. Everything was just delightful here. Eclectic interesting menu, great friendly staff, we got four starters and every one was delicious. Highly recommend.

I've been in Portland since Sunday and have eaten out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. This is the best restaurant I've eaten at while in Portland. The steak and potatoes are phenomenal. The bartender was a very nice guy who made a fantastic Manhattan. I'll be back every time I visit Portland from now on. Thank you.

Well thought out and balanced flavors and textures. The team is a well oiled machine! I was impressed by how they worked with each other in such a small space, and the vibes are immaculate!

The staff were warm and welcoming as we walked in the door and throughout our visit. They make a killer old fashioned, and the steak and potatoes entree was amazing.

Great food tastes homemade more like your going to a family members house. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good food. The beef stew with rice and potatoes was very filling and delicious.

The food was fantastic. Shout out to Robert for the recommendations and service. The fried potatoes were unreal. Had a hint of sweetness to them that reminded of a friend donut from home. Then the meat from the pork ribs melted off the bone. Very much recommend giving this joint a visit.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a while! The combination of flavors and textures were fantastic. We especially liked the flavors and textures of the tea leaf salad. The ribs were cooked to perfection and were absolutely divine. Tamarind soda was incredible too. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

The photo is after we mowed cause it was all so good we tore right into it. Wow!!! The food came out quickly. Incredible flavors, presently really nicely. So much attention to detail - even the side of rice was uniquely and deliciously flavored. They have a great patio as well as a lot of windows for a nice indoor experience as well.

We ordered the tea leaf salad, the very big bun, Shan noodles, and 5 piece fried chicken. All of those were delicious except for the fried chicken which was ok, not exceptional. Service was very fast despite how busy they were. Would return!

Wanted to try something new, never had this type of food before, and I enjoyed the rice noodles the most! Kinda ruined a part of the photo 😅 The giant dumpling was good. Don't remember if that was the name, but I enjoyed the hot foods the most, but my vegetarian family members liked the salads! What i found odd was that you had to go and order for yourself or your family and to also get your own water. It felt weird to get 8 cups of water by myself and give them out to each of my family instead of having them give water right when we had sat down. No worries, it was an interesting experience. I think it is better to eat here with a small party of around 2-4 people. It's much more casual, as I came in here with a party of 8 thinking it would be a nice dinner spot.

This place is great! They accommodated our large group without issue (pretty last minute). We got to try almost every menu item and it was all delicious. I especially loved the mushroom noodles and the dumpling. The fried chicken was a big hit with our group as well. It felt like an awesome value for pretty perfect food and a great vibe.

I ordered through door dash. This is not my first time trying their delicious meals. It was delicious as expected and service was prompt. Food arrived warm and edible, but my jerk chicken was high on the salt. Delicious, but kindly consider us with the low-salt diet. Thank you.

Got four honkin’, deliciously spicy whole jerk wings last night from this place (sorry for the missing one in the photo; I dug in immediately)! It was $16, but you’re getting the equivalent of eight standard wings. I didn’t go for the fried cornmeal festival balls but will be when I go back. They tried to tack on some cabbage I didn’t order, but it was just a misunderstanding over the phone. Based on the wings, I have to assume all the other dishes here are probably good. It ain’t cheap, but the food is good. Glad I stopped off here after passing by it for years!

This food is not authentic Jamaican Caribbean food. Please do not tarnish the islands’ cuisine with this dog chow you are preparing and seeing to people.i trashed this as this is the worst food I have ever purchased. Waste of my money. Please do not waste your time and money; server/owner was very rude too

If I could give 0 stars I would, this is despicable, a waste of my money and as a raw born Jamaican I’m upset with myself for ever supporting this business. Please disassociate yourself from my country. What you’re doing is dishonest because you know this area has little to no Jamaican influence and most people don’t know authentic Jamaican food, this restaurant is using the country’s name in the worst way possible to capitalize off it because this curry goat was the worst $28 I spent in my life. It was very bitter and if things weren’t bad enough I only got 3 pieces of meat and a thick disgusting tasting gravy. Someone needs to report this place and as a chef myself who just wanted to support another restaurant representing my country…never again

The food is bland, no flavor. I ordered oxtail meal and brown stew chicken meal. While eating the oxtail, I got turkey neck instead. They're falsifying the food to make a bigger profit. If you come from the Caribbean then you'll know the difference immediately. The chicken was dry as hell and the rice was dry as well, grainy, lacked flavored and tasted burnt. The cabbage was ok texture wise but severely lacked flavor

It’s unfortunate to see the negative reviews. My experience was awesome. I had no plans of stopping here. I was just driving by and I could smell the distinct 100% lump charcoal smell flowing from that barbecue. I pulled a U-turn and stopped for lunch. I got the chicken curry size large $15.99 Photo of my food is attached. The curry was out of this world. So rich and full of flavor and spices. The chicken was falling off the bone, tender and absolutely slathered with that curry sauce. The rice was done to perfection and the cabbage was boiled perfectly… not too soft and not too firm. I had to soak it in all that curry to make it even better. I had a nice chat with the guy rock-in the barbecue. I believe there’s one other person in back working as well. He was nice enough to let me have my dog in the outside seating area as long as no one else was around. But as other customers arrived we ate our meal in the car. It wasn’t good enough that I would make it a destination to come back. But if I was in the neighborhood, I would definitely recommend it for lunch.

I’ve been to many Jamaican restaurant throughout the country included Chicago area, Fort Lauderdale area, Boston area and so far this is the worst Jamaican Restaurant in Oregon only three pieces of oxtails with dry Rice the food taste old look like it’s was cooked couple days ago

Nice spot in a good location. I think the spot could use a 2nd server at lunch to help make sure there is enough coverage. I got the burger and a side salad, which was nice. The lemonade was great. I couldn't give the spot 4 stars as they auto-add 15% tip on your bill. As a person dinning alone, never seen a spot just auto add a tip on the bill.

First time here. Cute and clean place, I like watching the open kitchen as they cook and prepare the food, plate presentation was amazing. Marion Berry mule is good. MB cornbread is not bad but not what we expected, lots of grains texture which was different, not moist as I'm use to. The whipped butter was great. I just wish it came out warmer ( it was room temperature) but served in a cast iron. Ceaser Salad was disappointing, look like a ceaser but didn't taste like it, only enjoyed the crostini part. Sweet potato was surprisingly my favorite dish, the sauce was different but I enjoyed it more than I thought. Season veggies was Mexican corn. It was ok, the sauce was a little spicy. Whole bird was nicely cut up into pieces and reassemble on the plate, I appreciate that. I had pretty high expectations since the it's their specialty. The chicken did not disappoint. Very moist and perfectly cooked. I am a sauce person, but the chicken was good on its own. But of course I still like the sauce they provided. The aji Verde was my personal favorite sauce. The chimichurri was ok. The smoke garlic miso was ok as well but I probably won't get that one next time.

Vegetarian perspective: Very friendly and accommodating staff. They get my 100% endorsement, however, I didn’t find the food to be very flavorful. We ordered the grilled peppers and squash as appetizers. I ordered the Barata and Cucumber salad which lacked any flavor. While I’m not sure I’d go back to eat, I would go back for drinks!

If you really need some chicken and you’re in Slabtown, this is the spot. It’s pretty good and the drinks look nice, but some of the food is kind of missing the wow factor. Overall the plates look very nice but for us, it felt like it was not executed to the level we hoped it would be. One nice positive is that the front of the house staff is quite nice except 1 interaction that we had with a staff member. Overall the service started strong but after the food came it was difficult to get assistance. Our party ordered a full chicken, two orders of the seasonal vegetables, a large side of potatoes, and a half rack of ribs. Overall I would not suggest ordering the pork ribs. Unfortunately it’s pretty clear that they have not quite mastered how to cook them. Our ribs were pretty severely undercooked, they needed at least another hour. They were somewhat rubbery and also missing flavor and or smoke. In addition, there was also very little barbecue sauce. Because of this we thought we might ask for more to try to make the ribs taste better. As we couldn’t get anyone to come to our a table for about five minutes, we walked up to the front. Politely asked if I could get a side of barbecue sauce for the ribs. Was met with a solid no we don’t do that. So I asked if they would be willing to look at our ribs to see if the appropriate amount of sauce was on them/how they were cooked. (They were totally dry and also not fully cooked). After a bit of negotiation, the wait staff member finally agreed to talk to the chef. They then returned with more barbecue sauce, which certainly made it more palatable as the ribs really were not very flavorful, especially considering they were finished on an open flame. I think they’re still learning about how to make ribs. I would suggest sticking to the other items on the menu. Corn/summer veg was tasty but overly charred / one ear was fully burnt (beyond black and crisp) The chicken was well cooked; juicy, and the sauces are good but could be more interesting. But the big difference is the chicken is missing herbs or spices or lemon. But the chicken seasoning was really just salt and pepper which made it a bit plain. As far as the sauces, you get three. But they give tiny portions - no way enough for a full bird. The potatoes were ok but nothing to write home about. Overall the best thing was the chicken and the corn. There are a lot of great chicken places in Portland. In another city the score could be higher. The ambiance is nice, and it’s easy to park in the area. Overall, some adjustments could really help the food shine. It’s hard to know if it was served as intended, or we just hit it on an off night. But what is absolutely clear is they do not show any experience in cooking ribs.

We had a decent experience here. We were really excited to try Mama Bird and my very first impression was that most of the serving staff were waaaay too cool. They kind of all looked alike which, who cares? But the first server we had just didn’t have a friendly vibe. We had a different server halfway through who was much more personable. Ok, on to the food/drinks: Drinks were really delicious and had a wow factor, cute glasses, beautiful flower garnish. Everyone at our table loved their drinks. We got a lot of the items on the menu, as there were 6 of us, so we shared everything. The cornbread was quite good, and the salad was good as well. The sweet potatoes were pretty good but definitely a sharing dish as they were really rich. The chicken - they claim to have the best chicken in town……and it is good, but honestly have had better. Not to be nit-picky but the sauce was the star of the show. The Aji Verde was incredible!!! The pineapple was quite spicy but I liked it and the others were good but didn’t blow my hair back. They should offer all 5 sauces with a whole bird, not make you choose 3. Dessert was actually pretty good. We had a rhubarb cake and the baked Alaska and the ice cream sandwiches. The baked Alaska was not my favorite but the rhubarb she and ice cream sandwiches were decent. Overall, I would give them 3.7. I don’t think I would go out of my way to go back but would be willing to give them another try.

Really good food, price is a little high but the experience and taste were amazing! The watermelon at the end was amazing! EDIT: Stopped in for brunch and everything was really good. We had the chicken and waffles, and an egg benedict. Both were really good. I also had the guava juice, it was a little too strong for my taste but good flavor. Outdoor seating was really nice, although I had to fix the table cause it was too wobbly.

Our food was awesome, the sauces here are amazing. There are lots of sauce options, there's definitely something for everyone. When you walk in, you place your order at the counter right away, we sat on the outdoor patio which is so cute.

This is my new favorite Korean fried chicken spot. Chicken is perfectly crispy, and the level of spice in their standard hot gochujang sauce is just right. I stopped in for lunch today and can’t wait to bring my family in for dinner.

This is my first time eating here. I just ordered the Rice King with Garlic Soy Chicken. Just a heads up - there was no actual chicken in the bowl - just fry batter. I don't think I've ever left a bad review for a restaurant, but this is the worst "chicken" I've had in Portland. Do yourselves a favor and get fried birds literally anywhere else.

I had avoided this place because of sticker shock from the platters. But I’ve been trying chicken wings all over and had never been here. The skin on their wings is so thick and crispy! I got the soy garlic wings, and it was like eating candy. Six wings, a mound of sticky rice, a small plastic container of radish and a 12-ounce IPA ran me $16. I go to Hollywood Theatre a lot and will definitely be stopping here again! They have an interesting packaged ramen section I want to try as well.

The cashier (Bridgette) was very friendly and helpful. I have an allergy to pepper and she was able to help me find menu items that were not marinated overnight in what is likely a delicious marinade that I am unable to try. The popcorn Chicken was very flavorful, the spring rolls were delicious, and I really enjoyed the Orchard Pacific Berry beer they had on tap. The popcorn Chicken came with some pickled radish that was really good as well. They have a wide selection of Ramen that I plan to bring my son to try out. He will have to tell me how good the over night marinated chicken is as well. Everything I tried was very good and the meal was affordable. I will definitely return and will bring my family next time.

The food was amazing! Super crispy, juicy chicken with a soy garlic sauce that avoids being too sweet! For a side I got the king rice, which had seaweed and sesame oil, and highly recommend getting that if you want rice with your meal over fries. Service was helpful and pleasant and I loved sitting and watching Sailor moon while I ate! I was super hungry and forgot to take a picture of my meal, but here’s a pic of my takeout container because the portions were super generous and I had to take some home!

Korean fried chicken plus all kinds of snacks and imported instant noodles. The chicken is exceptional every time, can't eat here too often but it never disappoints.

Really disappointing experience. We showed up 30 minutes before closing to place a simple to-go order, only to be told they don’t take any orders that close to closing time. If that’s your policy, fine — but be honest and adjust your hours. Don’t waste people’s time and then act like we’re the problem for showing up during your posted business hours. Super unprofessional and frustrating. Won’t be coming back. Update What made it worse was the owner’s patronizing response, blaming “most restaurants” for also stopping service early—which simply isn’t true. Many restaurants take orders right up to their listed closing time or at least make that policy clear upfront. Hiding behind vague industry claims and blaming slow business isn’t an excuse for poor customer service or false advertising. If you’re going to stop serving before your listed hours, own it—don’t gaslight customers or shift blame. Unprofessional, dishonest, and frustrating.

Was in the mood for Korean fried chicken .. Drove to this food truck pod JUST for this place, had never been here before. 🤤 Got the southern box, 1lb half sweet/half spicy wings and the fried pickles. The wings were some of the biggest wings I've ever had. Gahhh it did Not disappoint!! All of it was Freaking delicious & the owners were super nice! will be back! Amazing everything!

Amazing place! I’ve never had such good chicken. Came by yesterday and got the southern box. Yummy and crispy! Usually I’m wary about my gums hurting from crispy food but it’s so easy to bite into the chicken and get all that flavor. Shout out to the servers too! So kind and friendly. Happily answered all my questions.

FOMO chicken has some of the best chicken I’ve had! I got the Korean Box that comes with Korean style chicken, rice and slaw and radish to cleanse your palate with each bite. So flavorful and so crunchy! I also got a side of fried pickles and it’s such a generous portion, I will be eating them all week! So delicious and overall the portions are super generous. Thank you for a great first experience! I’ll be back!

FOMO Chicken!! Had quite a few friends talk it up. They weren’t wrong. I love how simple the menu is - 3 or 4 main options with some sides. It’s great Korean / Southern bbq chicken. The boxes will more than fill you up. The 3 main options are spicy, sweet, and southern. The southern options has delicious peppery mashed potatoes and corn. I really liked both. All the boxes come with Cole slaw but we have refined taste so we said no slaw. I got the sweet chicken - it came with rice and picked stuff. The rice is good. The chicken is great. The marinade is so tasty. Looking for something new? FOMO !!! It’s nestled in a cozy food cart pod with beer and other stuff around. I really dig the vibe of the pod.

So my daughter was in charge of looking up a “fancy” dinner in Portland for her 21st! Well, we ended up here at Fomo Chicken. I’m not a fan of eating outside, but for my daughter, I’ll do mostly anything…I don’t regret it because the food was simply put…Deliciousness!! Homemade mashers, the fried chicken and honey mustard sauce. Man oh man. Follow up with my review of the crepe truck next door…

The food was delicious, but it took 45 minutes to be ready. It is a Friday, early evening, but considering the lack of line it was confusing why the wait was so long. It seems they can’t handle the extensive menu and might consider dropping some items that take longer to prepare. The server was bad mouthing a customer (gross behavior) who had asked a question in front of me when I returned to get forks as they weren’t provided. I wouldn’t recommend unless your on a date that you want to drag out and you arrive not quite hungry enough to eat dinner. Half of our party had finished their dinner before we received ours.

It is possible to create a symphony of joyous notices from one’s mouth while simultaneously devouring the most tantalizing chicken wings in Portland. FOMO Chicken is absolutely exquisite. The wings are perfectly sized and full of delicious meat. One 1lb order was the perfect portion for me and my date along with a side of rice. Lest I forget the tantalizing pickled radishes and the light and tangy coleslaw sides. The staff is delightful, which makes this a must visit in Portland. There is a beer cart in the same lot for the perfect meal.

We got the bulgogi wings, the sweet and spicy wings, and the soy and garlic wings. All the wings were very tasty. Love them. We also got two rice balls and pickled radish. The radish was a bit too perky, but otherwise good. The rice balls were not good, IMO. Seems like they were going for a new take on Bau, but the execution/taste wasn't there. The potato dog. No words can describe the majesty of the potato dog. Take a corn dog, roll it in potatoes, and then mash it up with a churro. Absolutely decadent. I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors of the wings and dogs. *UPDATE 07/15/25* They no longer have the bulgogi wings which is a shame as it was a favorite for our family. They now have a Cheese & Onion flavor which I was NOT a fan of. Honestly it tasted like a mayonnaise and cheese sauce with an emphasis on the mayo, like a five to one ratio. Would not recommend not will we order that flavor again.

Review: 2 Stars I recently tried this ramen spot on a whim while driving by. The place looked clean, and the staff were friendly, so I had high hopes. I ordered the shrimp with bacon ramen and added eggs and corn, which brought the total to about $18. Unfortunately, the dish was disappointing. They added mussels to the ramen (not listed on the menu), and the shrimp was served with the shell still on, which made it awkward to eat. For a better experience, they really need to remove the shells from the shrimp and stick with the ingredients listed on the menu. The flavor was just off, and I wouldn’t recommend this dish as it is. Absolute disappointment

Hey there Foodies!! I ordered the wings. I wandered in waiting for my tire service to be completed. Anywho, people they are huge!!! Unless you like crispy outside and super moist inside… then you’ll be happy. Personally, I like to eat mine without looking and picking over the part of meat I eat. I sent them back to request well done as I requested upon ordering the first time. The owner was kind enough to send them back and monitored the process. After 3 check in’s … these wings were cooked to perfection. Us soulful people love our wings to be cooked all thee wayyyy through. Now, if you’re looking for those good ol’ crispy well done wings… please ask this kind establishment to cook them traditionally well well well done. Save time and add quality to your overall experience. I saw he that the owner was quietly annoyed and didn’t bother to check on me. But it’s all good. It’s a one n done for me. It’s so important to value your customers theses days. It’s hard out here for small businesses. 🫶🏽

Visiting from Texas and been trying many places around Portland! This was definitely a good stop! The gentleman that took our order was very patient and polite as we thought about our orders. He helped us move tables together and was kind all around! The atmosphere was great. Clean and well kept, felt inviting and safe. Food was good, nothing spectacular and definitely not a ramen bar but we came for the chicken. My friends were happy with their chicken and I had the basic corn dog, also very good. Would come again!

Located only a few blocks from my Airbnb, I thought it would be worth a try as it's menu is all about Ramen and Rice Bowls and of course the Chicken. I ordered the Tofu Rice Bowl and loved it. The base is a white rice with what seemed like a cabbage slaw, corn and the breaded fried tofu which was the highlight. There was a spicy sauce that seemed like just the right amount of flavor. Fantastic rice bowl.

The service was the best part of my experience. The ramen (I ordered vegetarian) was not good. They use noodles from a bag you get at the store. The veggies they added to the soup was chopped up lettuce and corn — I paid too much money for a poorly executed meal. My partner got a “potato hot dog” asked for cheese to be added to it.. instead of doing half cheese and half hot dog, they only added cheese to it. Overall the food was awful. I don’t recommend. I’m sorry.

Finally able to check out this place for lunch. I like the variety of items that they have. We ordered a good amount of food to share between the three of us. We ordered the 20 piece jumbo wings (soy garlic, bulgogi, and hot & spicy), potato dog, cheese dog, bulgogi rice bowl, and Philly cheesesteak sandwich. My favorite was definitely the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. It was amazingly good. The wings were nice and big in size with really good flavors (it could be a bit more crispy). The bulgogi bowl was a bit bland (in my opinion). I liked the potato dog. Overall, cool place and well need to try the ramen option next time.

This place has thee BEST Honduran dishes We loved it! We waited almost 30 minutes and they don't speak English but it was great anyway. The dinner was 37.00 1 dish and 2 drinks. The portions are giant along with the drinks we will go back again for sure

A hidden gem, Tucked away off 82nd. It's easy to miss if you blink while driving by. Amazing food with a beautiful patio to eat on.

If you're looking for traditional Hoduran food, you must visit this place. If you go, try the Baleadas and the Carme Asada Plate, the fry tacos and the chicken plate are also really good!.

Best Honduran Food In Portland !

Get the baleadas made with handmade flour tortillas. We got the “simple” ones which contain the best refried beans I have ever had and creamy cheese and sauce. Will come back just for the $5 baleadas!

Quality food. Covered seating is in a garden where much of the vegetables for the meals come from

I think is the only place that sells baleadas in Portland. The food was good and the tamales hondurenos too.

Been ordering here for a long time. Sometimes the portions are inconsistent but I have always found the taste of the food to be great. Recently ordered a family dinner and they forgot to add all the sauces. By the time I got home and realized, they were already closed. The food is emphasized by the sauces (not to mention you cant have a Caesar salad without the Cesar dressing). I emailed them hoping they would own up to their error and make it right but never heard anything back. What happened to actual customer service??

Everything is done so well here. Like a northern Italian version of Nong’s, you get chicken and some other stuff, and a very memorable sauce. It’s pricey compared to grocery store rotisserie, but totally worth it once in a while especially if you get the meal. The only thing is the potatoes used to be crispy and smashed but now they are just roasted and kinda plain. Bring back the smashing.

Full roast chicken meal is a steal. Briny, buttery and delicious. A little on the salty side, but I wasn’t upset about it. I took away, but the market had plenty of seating indoor and out with energy and ambiance.

Excellent roasted chicken, salad and potatoes. Some of the best I've had. And a great indoor specialty market setting to sit down and eat. Nice surprise coming here.

I love their food and it’s always consistent. I usually do some fun shopping while waiting for my chicken dinner!

For lunch on Saturday, my wife and I shared Arrosto's half-chicken meal, including juicy rotisserie chicken, a side salad of lettuce and shaved parmesan, crispy potatoes, and focaccia, along with a tangy paprika, lemon, and garlic sauce (see photo). Excellent! There was a picnic table outside, but we chose to eat inside at the Providore Market, where there are plenty of large, clean wood tables, along with cutlery, napkins, and water. Highly recommended!

Whole chicken meal is great! Order 2 extra sides of arrosto sauce for whole chicken. Had this delivered by Postmates. Now I rotate between Arrosto and 'chicken n guns' for whole free range chicken meals to go!

This is a hidden gem! If you love hip, and fusion food, this is your place. The food pod might change they way you look at the Vietnamese food. We walked in for lunch, and the courtyard has many other food carts. It was pretty packed, although we got a place to sit. The menu options were not much. We ordered a fried chicken burger with green papaya inside. The buns are the house speciality with a hint of green! I think they have a name for it. The food was amazing! It was fresh and piping hot. The condiments were all tasty and fresh. I can’t recommend enough. If you are in the neighbourhood, try something from this place.

Great place to try some great food with a unique twist on them. I got the Nem Nuong Burger, which was pretty good. I liked that they used their signature pandan toasted buns for the burger. The flavor of the meat was great. The fries with their spicy ketchup was also delicious.

We got the breakfast bowl, pandan donuts, and pandan burger dish. OMG it taste differently and very unique that we can’t wait to try more! The gravy from breakfast bowl is a bit salty, but once mix up I can’t get enough of its. The donut is at the right level of sweetness, doughy. Last the burger, one of our favorite burger. It has the right level of flavor with the smell of pandan that you can’t find anywhere else in Portland.

Ordered takeout brunch on a Sunday. The food was great. We ordered breakfast bowl and breakfast sando. Gravy was really nice in the bowl and the meat in both dishes was peppery. Also ordered iced coffee and pandan donut, which were a great sweet addition. The food does take some time to come out but is worth it. The line does seem to get long as this place takes online orders as well.

My favorite was the Braised pork belly, which was cooked to perfection, so tender. Simple and delicious. Curry was quite good. Beef stir fry and fried chicken were okay.

I've been watching matta on insta from Virginia for a while now. I had one day in portland and happened to be in NE in the small window that they were open. Got everything I could and washed it all down with a ca phe sua da. The donut had great flavor and texture and brouht me back to SE Asia. The sausage and egg sandwich was something I could eat every day.

Tasty meals, pandan donut is a can’t miss - grab it but leave some for others to enjoy please. Brunch is flavorful. Friendly staff too and parking is on the side street.

Delicious hot and crisp Korean-inspired wings. Pictured are Soy Garlic, Honey Butter, Yangnyum, as well as one-sixth of a really delicious savory kimchi pancake. Highly recommend this place, very unique flavors! Soy Garlic was absolutely exquisite.

I am from South Korea and this actually reminds me of late 90’s Korean fried chicken. My wife has been picky with Korean fried chicken/ chicken wing, and she approved this one! So good!

So good !! Best fried chicken in NW Portland - helpful team, too. Addicted to Chimaek Town🥰

The soy garlic wings were literally the vets chicken I’ve had in my entire life, the pickled radish was perfect to cut the richness. Great that they have soju too! Not to mention a parking lot :) 10/10 recommended

Bimimbop was decent. Small portion especially with meat but still okay. The wings on the other hand were really good. Nice and crispy and with some very novel flavor options. Overall good experience, I would imagine the food would be even better when not takeout (particularly as they have a very authentic stone bowl bimimbop option).

I held a birthday dinner at this restaurants it was so wonderful. The employees went above and beyond to help accommodate us- they were so understanding about our orders, took pictures of us, and helped me set the candles for the birthday cake. They had the tables ready and set. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone left full. So happy and so appreciate of Chimaek Town.

Awesome unique food with large portions and quick service! Would come again!

Great place to get some good fried chicken at a reasonable price. It may take a bit to get the food, but you know its fresh as they are frying them as ordered. I had a couple of chicken thighs and the meat was nice an moist. Thre exterior had a good crisp and was not too salty.

Had the catfish plate with mac and cheese and a banana pudding dessert. Really delicious. They use cornmeal as the breading which I enjoy but it’s not for everyone. The dessert was DANK. The mac was good but pretty bland. It’s in the food cart pod so very accessible for whoever. The employees were very friendly and even walked out my food to me!

This was my first time at Cartlandia and I was not disappointed. I decided to try out Ms. T's because fried chicken one of my favorite foods. Such good chicken... crispy and fresh and hot. Great tater tots and the Mac and cheese is splendid... real stretchy cheese and super tasty. I will be back.

The best fried fish and chicken wings anywhere in portland. They serve the whole wings and cornmeal fish. If you want an authentic southern East coast meal this is the place to be. The banana pudding was so good. Nilla wafers in it and whipped cream on top. The owner was an absolute doll from Memphis and the food shows. I will definitely make the drive here any day of the week.

Ok, I came way from Tennessee and I know what real home cooking or should I say big mama cooking taste like. Since I've moved to Portland Oregon, Ms. T's is my new favorite, most favorite, soul food restaurant ever! This Women can cook hands down. I ordered cabbage, homemade mac-n-cheese, perfectly seasoned catfish fillets, sweet/ soft/ buttery cornbread and wings. I ate every bit of. MS T'S 🎸!

Best fried chicken ever. Her customer service is absolutely the best. We also love the fact she starts to fry the chicken right after we order it I also had the cat fish which was absolutely delicious too great price for some of the best chicken I’ve ever had. Thanks Ms T

Ms T’s never disappoints! I have to make a 20 drive to get here and it is so worth it! Chicken is always juicy and fried to perfection! Tried the banana pudding yesterday and omg talk about melts in your mouth!

Holy craaaaaaap. These wings were amazing! We ordered a side of spicy rice and side of cauliflower rice as well as all of the sauces. Everything was amazing, I'd get it all again! Can't wait for prey and tell again!!!

Absolutely delicious wings and the sauces are soooo good. My girlfriend and I ordered the Super Bowl package of wings/fries four days ahead of the game and feasted day of. I picked up my order the day of, although I know there were some technical issues on the delivery app side of things, my experience was in and out very quickly and seamless when picking up my order. The wings were very crispy and the Nary Ranch and Lime Leaf Buffalo were a delightfully tasty one two punch combination. If you have not checked them out then now is the time!

Came here on a Sunday night with my boyfriend and I will definitely come again! They had a variety of sauces and a unique, yet simple choices of different types of rice! My boyfriend got the street rice and I got the cutie rice. Be sure to try all their sauces! Our favorite was the lime buffalo! The only flaw I found about the place is that they aren’t open Monday+Tuesday so I can get their crispy goodness everyday!!! Service was amazing. Our food came out fairly quick and we were able to sit outside on the heated patio. The staff were extremely friendly and they always made sure we were alright!

Pretty damn good fried chicken. And sauces. And rice. Only complaint is spicy rice, isn’t.

Best chicken in Portland. Hands down. All of the sauces and rice were so delicious and complimented each other so well. Make sure to try the slushees from the bar too!😋 Can’t wait to go back! 10/10 customer service from an incredibly kind staff. Don’t sleep on this Portland.

Everything about this place is amazing! Went to Portland for the day and I just had to try them out and let me tell you this place didn't disappoint!! Staff were extremely welcoming and very friendly. Food here is delicious! Wings are crisp and that rice don't miss ;) will definitely come again!! 10/10 recommend

I will never order from here again. I’ve never had the food so I can’t speak to it but I just had a terrible ordering experience. So I can speak to customer service. I order wings a week in advance for super bowl Sunday. On the day of (today). I get a call from Grubhub (no even the Resturant) to let me know that they canceled my order due to a scheduling change. I tried to be flexible and offer to work with the new schedule but grubhub told me the aren’t taking anyone’s calls. Grubhub refunded and credited my account but that still leave me scrambling to find wings on super bowl Sunday. This was a real let down and I have a feeling I wasn’t the only one this happened to.
