This place is the best. Food is a little outside the box but well thought out. Staff is super helpful and friendly, only downside is that it's a little crowded... for ten dollars you can buy the kitchen a six pack AND ring a gong. Which feels like 10 bucks well spent in my mind. read more

Great place to stop in for happy hour! Atmosphere can be somewhat loud at times, but overall a great vibe. Parking lot is a little funky, but there is additional parking around in the back area. I have been here over 10 times and my go to food options that always pack some great flavor are the Brussels, shrimp rice rolls, cauliflower, they were out of the cucumber salad, chicken wings, and lettuce wraps. Drinks were really good and strong. Food came out pretty fast and the service was good. read more

I made an online reservation and thought it was a little odd that it said *"we'll let you know if we can take it"* after submitting. I waited a few hours without hearing back, so I eventually called, and they confirmed they could get us in. I'm not a fan of this type of reservation system--it feels uncertain, and if a time slot isn't available, it probably shouldn't be selectable. That said, once we arrived on a busy Saturday night, we were seated right away, which was a pleasant surprise. We started with cocktails, which were fun and well-made. For appetizers, we ordered the Brussels sprouts (amazing!) and calamari. The calamari wasn't what we expected--the rings were so tiny they almost looked like little pieces rather than the usual size. For my main dish, I had the Pad Kee Mao. They brought out the wrong dish for my main. So they had to go back and remake it. The portion was generous, the flavors were spot-on, and the prices overall felt more than reasonable for the quality of food. Service throughout the evening was friendly and attentive. Even though the reservation process could use improvement, the food, drinks, and service made up for it. We'll definitely be back! read more

Wrapping up PDX nacho week, Aji Tram never misses a beat with their offerings. This time it was the Bulgogi Nachos. I love this fusion style of nachos. The sauce they use in combination with the cheese is just amazing and the nacho chips are crispy and not soggy. Like seriously, this needs to be a regular item here. Where have these nachos been all my life?!? Oh and yes, I did use chopsticks to eat them. It just added to the experience and kept my hands clean. Win/win! But I'm telling you I couldn't stop licking the owl clean of that sauce. The other patrons were probably looking at me with an OMG expression, but I didn't care. It was that good. It was a slow afternoon so we were seated quickly and we just wanted to eat the nachos and move on to the next place for nachos. Our waitress did a good job but I had this feeling that she kept looking at us like is that it? Aren't you ordering more? The thing is I've been here before and it's always been good. I'll be by back again to try more of their dishes. Plenty of parking and there are a few tables outside. They have a full bar and several TVs too. read more

10pm close means they actually close at 9:10pm on a Saturday night. Not good for business.

Excellent meal! Mixed review on the staffing this visit, but as usual the meal was amazing! Our favorite is always the street noodles- tried the cucumber salad for the first time, it was great- simple but satisfying! read more

[gluten free review]: This place has been on my list for a while - not because I heard all about it, but because I had driven by it and always wondered what it had to offer. Now, typically a Friday night is not the best time to visit a place that doesn't take reservations, but upon arrival, we were greeted, waited in line for a few short minutes and then were seated in the bar area. (Be aware - we were just a party of 2 - families of 4-5 ppl waited around 20 min for a table). The staff was friendly and the ambiance was lively and family friendly. After getting seated, we took a minute to decide on our drinks and starters. The wait staff was extremely kind and patient, but didn't leave us hanging once. We ordered the lettuce wraps as a starter along with two of the spicy cocktails (we both tried a different one). The chicken that was served with the lettuce wraps gave a crunchy kung-pao type of flavor and we ate those SO fast. We ended up both ordering the spicy street noodles - my partner got the beef and I got the ground pork per my waiter's suggestion. We finished our meals and loved every bite start to finish!! The cocktails were absolutely banging with the spicy noodles we ordered ~ the sweet, tangy, tart, spicy flavors all melded together with the tequila for a delightful and fun experience. We'll be back soon - but I can't recommend coming here on a cold day to warm up with some delicious Asian fusion cuisine. read more

I've been here multiple times and I'm never disappointed. Tonight we had the veggie salad rolls, lettuce wraps & pad Thai. The lettuce wraps were exceptionally good and they used butter lettuce rather than iceberg. Menu is marked for GF, but watch out for fried items as they have a common fryer. Server was celiac aware and friendly. They do well taking your plate when done which I appreciate. We were near the bar so football games were visible. Cozy place; would be nice if their happy hour went until 5:40 rather than 5 pm. read more

Aji Tram - Specials. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

I came here during happy hour one day and was pleasantly surprised. The inside of the restaurant is lively with TVs, lots of tables, and a big bar. In the summer, the windows/walls open to make the space more livelier and invite in the summer air. Service here was pretty quick and nice. When I came, I ordered the brussel sprouts, calamari, chicken wings, and spicy street wings. Everything was delicious, and a lot better than I expected. I loved the brussel sprouts and noodles the most, but the calamari and wings weren't bad! Overall, not a bad spot for Asian fusion food in Lake Oswego. read more

Tasty food, good drinks, friendly service. I got an Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl that was enjoyable and well portioned. The cocktail I got was also good! I went at 6:30 on a Sunday night and it was busy. Seemed like a popular spot. There was a wait but it was very quick and the hostess was very kind and accommodating. read more

Our family absolutely loves Aji Tram... even our picky teenage daughter can always find something she enjoys! We've been loyal fans for years, loving the atmosphere, the wonderful staff, and of course the consistently amazing food and drinks. We recently rented it out for my 50th birthday celebration, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things. The pricing for the party was incredibly reasonable, the food and drinks were exceptional (as always), and our guests couldn't stop raving that it was one of the best parties they'd ever attended. The service was outstanding from start to finish, and working with the manager, Adam, was an absolute pleasure. He made everything seamless and supported every detail we hoped to include. Aji Tram continues to exceed our expectations, and we look forward to making many more memories there in the years to come! read more

Nice to have some place open beyond 8pm on the Westside. The cashew chicken was great.

I love their cocktails! They're so good at switching things up and making specials for food all the time. One of our go to spots for sure. I would recommend to everyone when they don't know what they want to eat because their menu is so great at being diverse. 10/10 Also service is great, and their music playlist is so bomb as well. read more

Nice neighborhood restaurant The food is usually good. They could change up or increase their menu. Service is intermittent sometimes it's not so great but others it's great. Overall I'd say give these guys at least a try. Chicken wings are excellent! My humble opinion read more

Let me begin by saying that dining at Aji Tram in Lake Oswego is not a meal--it's a pilgrimage. A spiritual awakening. A culinary opera performed on a wok-shaped stage, where soy sauce sings soprano and ginger tap dances across your tongue. If you haven't been, cancel your dentist appointment, reschedule your wedding, and get thee to Aji Tram. The Wings of Glory The wings. Oh, the wings. These are not mere poultry appendages. They are phoenix feathers dipped in ambrosia and flash-fried by Zeus himself. Each bite is a thunderclap of flavor--crispy, sticky, spicy, sweet, tangy, and somehow emotionally healing. I wept openly after the third wing. A server approached with a tissue and whispered, "We understand." I felt seen. The Calamari of Humility Now, let us address the calamari. Tiny. Minuscule. Lilliputian. These morsels are so small, I'm convinced they were harvested from a secret society of bonsai squid. But do not mistake their size for weakness. Each bite is a concentrated burst of oceanic poetry. It's as if Poseidon himself bottled the essence of the sea and injected it into these bite-sized miracles. I ate twelve and still felt like I was nibbling on the concept of calamari rather than the actual creature. It's postmodern. It's brilliant. Fusion or Fever Dream? The menu is a fever dream of pan-Asian ambition. Thai basil meets Korean gochujang in a forbidden romance. Vietnamese lemongrass flirts shamelessly with Japanese miso. The result? Dishes that defy geography and logic. I ordered something called "Tram Fire Noodles" and briefly lost consciousness. When I awoke, I had a new tattoo and a deeper understanding of my childhood trauma. Drinks That Challenge Reality The cocktails are liquid riddles. I sipped a lychee martini that tasted like a haiku written by a drunk samurai. The bartender, who may or may not be a retired philosopher, told me the drink was inspired by "the fleeting nature of joy." I nodded solemnly and ordered three more. Ambiance: Zen Meets Chaos The décor is a masterclass in contradiction. Bamboo plants whisper serenity while neon dragons scream "PARTY!" The music oscillates between Tibetan throat singing and K-pop remixes of Celine Dion. I felt both relaxed and ready to fight a tiger. The lighting is dim enough to make you feel mysterious but bright enough to read the menu and question your life choices. Service Fit for Emperors and Existentialists The staff glide--not walk--across the floor. They anticipate your needs before you know them. I thought about asking for extra napkins, and one appeared. I considered ordering dessert, and a server whispered, "The mango sticky rice is calling to you." I didn't even speak. They just knew. Final Verdict Aji Tram is not just a restaurant. It's a portal. A vortex of flavor and philosophy. The wings will elevate you. The calamari will humble you. The fusion will confuse and enlighten you. Five stars is not enough. I give it five stars, a standing ovation, and a slow clap that echoes through eternity. Now, do you want me to write a haiku about those wings? Because I will. read more

Aji Tram - Ramen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

I'm not someone who likes to leave negative reviews, but this experience really missed the mark. Aji Thai advertises authentic Thai food, but the flavors were anything but authentic. It honestly made us wonder if people come here to get drunk than the food, or if those enjoying it aren't familiar with real Thai cuisine. We ordered five dishes, and every single one was a salt bomb with strange, unbalanced flavors. Nothing tasted fresh or thoughtfully prepared. On top of that, the service from Adam? was very rude we were treated like an inconvenience just for calling in our order. Overall, between the poor service and the disappointing food, this was not a place I'd return to. read more

Perfect ahi tuna special and other good eats. Service was great. Atmosphere is casual chic ... we'll be back. If we were more fun, we'd be back to enjoy the bar which is center stage. read more

Popular neighborhood hang out. Met a friend for lunch, I was reminded we had been here a few years back. Food is imaginative and has a nice presentation. Drinks menu is also very imaginative. Maybe next time I will go for a cocktail, my companion tried a seasonal drink and gave it a thumbs up. The food is fresh and well seasoned. The waiter was attentive but not hovering, we felt relaxed to hang out and enjoy our food. The atmosphere is pub like with a prominent bar and big wooden tables. I found it a bit drafty, but it was blustery outside, every time someone came or went, we got a big blast of cold. read more

We were seated outside as requested on our late arrival that they honored. Then out came Hope, our bright and cheery server. She's such a delight! We had some much fun with her personality. We immediately ordered the pork bahn and cauliflower. Delicious! If you love ahi, try the bowl! An amazing array of flavors. I'll let the other two entrees speak for them themselves and keep them a secret. We finished dinner with the Banana Republic cocktail which I can't even begin to explain. It should be an after dinner treat. We didn't stop there. We enjoyed the evening with a spicy mango cocktail as well! What a treat! It was a heavenly range of flavors. Like a tropical mouth punch you have to experience. I highly recommended it! Thank you Ají Tram for an incredible birthday experience! read more

Can't wait to come back for the BiBimBap which a friend says is her favorite. Came in for Portland Nacho Week and enjoyed the chicken tinga nachos. I found it weird that their nachos weren't Asian-fusion inspired as much of their menu was, but I suppose it worked since it got a group of in to check them out. We ordered some of the appetizers and it was fine eating them alongside nachos. We sat inside and it was a pretty loud with ambient noise for me, so I might try sitting outside next time. But the food was great, loved their ginger beer. read more

I would rate this place 4.5/5 mostly because of the stellar service! We visited here on a Sunday and found it moderately packed but got a table right away. We ordered calamari, cauliflower, Thai noodle special and spicy noodles with tofu. Also got the Thai iced tea and mango lemonade both of which were delicious and fresh. The cauliflower was crispy, cooked to perfection and coated well with the sauce. The pickled ginger on top was the best thing about it. My only gripe would be that it wasn't spicy. The calamari was well received by the husband and it was a sizable portion! The husband got the Thai noodle special with an addition of shrimp (which was expensive but worth it) and he could not stop raving about it. The spicy noodles were well cooked, had lots of veggies and the tofu was well integrated into the dish (rather than just being added to it). Again my only gripe would be that it needs to be way spicier to be called spicy noodles. The highlight of our meal was our friendly server. There was a slight delay with getting my entree (which honestly I had not noticed) and she gave us complimentary spring rolls which were also delicious. My other wish for this place (in addition to "please make things three times spicer") would be to add more vegetarian options. They have a limited menu and we could tell that they do all of these dishes justice - but a couple more veggie options would make this a truly inclusive meal and one of the best spots in the area for us! read more

Love this place!!! The food is always so so so good and fresh. My favorite is the Bibimbap (pictured). Flank steak, mushroom, corn, beets, pickled onion, kimchi, fried egg, gochujang chili sauce, jasmine rice- all mixed in a fire hot stone bowl. Let it cook, let the rice garden for a crunch and enjoy the goodness. The bao buns are an amazing appetizer that should not be passed up. Gooey buns with delicious meat inside. Bottom line- the food is amazing- GO! Ambiance is stellar- GO!! Service is good- GO!! read more

This place is quite loud. Since people tend to talk over the music. They have a wonderful array of choices. Their portions are fair. The food comes out freshly made. Which is a plus. They also tend to run out of popular menu items. Their drinks are strong and quite good. It would be nice if they have a designated front area person, that greets and takes reservations. I noticed the sole person they had then also sat customers. Thus some customers jump the line, and end up getting seated before others who have been waiting. read more

This place was absolutely packed on a weeknight, but after having come there for dinner, I understood why. We ordered several dishes as a table and enjoyed each one of them along with our cocktails. We ordered the cauliflower, the green beans, bibimbap and beef pad thai. The inside reminds me a little bit of a Flat Top Grill. It is fairly informal, and there are a lot of red tones. The service was informal, but not attentive. I like that you could come here in very casual attire and still get a great meal. will be back! read more

YOOOOOOO!!!!! This place is my new go to in my local area. Never been here before and have always driven past it but incredibly grateful that I've came around to trying it. Service was great, and friendly. Place is kept well clean and there are plenty of tables + seats for busy hours. The bar in the middle of the restaurant is a nice touch, kind of gives Portland vibes. The drinks were incredibly tasty and the food seemed fairly priced. I'm quite a fan of the happy hour! The chicken lettuce wraps and the crispy brussels sprouts were probably my highlights besides the drinks. With that being said, the wings were still great, and I'll most likely get them again but will most likely try other dishes. The pork sausage fried rice with egg was also delectable. My and my patna look forward to coming back! read more

The Pho or Ramen here used to be amazing, but not anymore.

There was hardly any vegetables or meat. Ehh... I'm going up the hill to Pho Lavang next time. read more

When recommended which restaurant is a must try in LO, I always heard Aji Tram. They have very tasty food and incredible GF options. It is pretty spendy and incredibly spicy... Every time we went (one time with family) it was so spicy! I can handle spice and love it, but some others can't. I think if they took it down a few notches, it would still be spicy but a little more palatable for everyone. The must try items: *SPICY CAULIFLOWER: this tempura battered, sesame gochujang chili glazed GF item is incredible. You will not be disappointed with this! It's sooo crave-able. *CHICKEN WINGS are GF tempura battered, general tso's glaze & chili flake. So good! Not dry at all. Other items we tried: *BIBIMBAP - wasn't our favorite. Was very spicy but was also lacking a little flavor at the same time? Served in the traditional stone bowl which makes it perfect for winter. *PAD THAI - it was good. Very spicy again! But not my favorite pad Thai ever for $20. *STREET NOODLES - Now these were delish! I'd choose these over the pad Thai. However, it was borderline too spicy to eat.... Very bummed about that. *WOK'D PHILLY - I liked this Philly! It was good. And the fries were crispy and good. The ketchup is like a soy sauce ketchup which is actually delish! I would love for the Philly to have a creamy sauce or something maybe on the side to dip it in. But really good without! (Alas a non spicy dish for your non spice lovers) -service didn't blow us out of the water. read more

Get the fried cauliflower as an appetizer! The chunks of cauliflower are breaded, fried crisp, and topped with a spicy bbq sauce and pickled ginger. We always order this and the brussel sprouts to share. Both are delicious and addicting and either could easily be a meal. We recently enjoyed dining inside again after doing takeout many times during Covid. We love their spicy fried chicken sandwich which definitely packs the heat! The Korean Street noodles with steak is another favorite although sometimes it can be salty. Last night my friend tried their version of a Phili Steak sandwich, a special, and raved about it. Packed with thinly sliced steak, it was flavorful and satisfying. They have a full bar and craft cocktails are definitely popular. Drinks are inventive, many include similar ingredients as their food. I had the ginger Lemondrop which was both sweet and had some heat. The environment is lively with families and groups of friends enjoying meals. There are a variety of tables and high tops. In the nice weather the garage type doors open and tables spill onto the sidewalk. . Since there is no carpet, just lots of hard surfaces, it can get loud inside. Located in a very non-descript strip mall in a tree filled neighborhood in Lake Oswego, Ali Tram is a great find. Once you discover it, you will come back many times! read more

Great service | Delicious We checked out this place after a friend of mine suggested we go here. I'm so glad we did! We went here for lunch and enjoyed three items: Bibimbap, Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen, and Chicken and Noodle (kids menu). My husband enjoyed their bibimbap in the hot stone pot. Great flavor and good portion. The sauce is a mild spice. My toddler enjoyed tender chicken on top of some thin noodles, which was perfect. No spice, she chose the teriyaki sauce. The waiter said kids like the peanut sauce even though there is a little spice to it, but it's not intense. I loved the Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen! It's not too salty like other places, it was perfect. Delicious broth with great ingredients (pork broth, chashu pork, wavy egg noodle, soft egg, corn, edamame, mushroom, cabbage). My favorite is the egg. They put 2 eggs that have so much flavor. My mouth is watering thinking about the egg. I recommend this dish! I didn't catch our waiter's name, but he checked on us often to make sure we were enjoying our meal and having a good first time at Aji Tram's. He was very friendly and attentive. This place is a gem. We'll be coming back and recommending it to others. read more

Went for burger week. Burger ok but dry so asked for ketchup. Got about a teaspoon of ketchup. When bill came I was charged 50 cents for sauce ketchup. Mentioned to waiter and he seemed to think that was reasonable. WOW! I've never been charged for ketchup before. AVOID this rip off place. I mentioned this to a few people and they couldn't believe this place actually charges for ketchup. They also said that this place overcharges for mediocre food, as they're trying to be an upscale restaurant. I wish I had known about this before eating there and before leaving a good tip. read more

Considered this place because they had happy hour. The drinks are only two dollars off. I would skip the drinks because it's juice and no alcohol. Food was ok. We really just enjoyed the clam dish. read more

This was a first time dinner experience and have to say, it was a disappointment. Ordered the cashew chicken and am guessing it might have been a bad night for that one. There was a lot of sauce and flavor, and the chicken was very small bits that were batter fried and the oil in the batter was very heavy and forward. A few bites of that and you begin to feel kind of sick. I started attempting to remove the batter only to find very small bits of the chicken inside. Never again. I love that you can order a Sapporo on tap and I've had some of their appetizers on previous visits but no more bigger menu items for me. read more

This place was amazing highly recommend we just went in and ordered a bunch of appetizers very please! Nice setting and plenty of parking
