    This place is healthy and helpful. My stomach was feeling a bit ugh. I went in with a ton of questions and the service was patient and helpful. The person helping me didn't try to upsell but really wanted to assist. I believe I had a turmeric tea and it hit the spot.

    Everything went well with my experience at Blossoming Lotus Cafe . The two bowls we ordered were delicious. Not only are they healthy but flavor is really emphasized here. The smoothie I ordered was the Horchata and it wasn't this sugar bomb like you get every where else it was the perfect sweetness level.

    I love their healthy and nutritious food and the customer service is always on top. The portions are great and I also feel good after eating. I even like this location more that the bigger one :)

    Bibimbap
    Matt B.

    Quite disappointing compared to what they used to be. We'd been coming to the NE location for years on most visits to Portland. They used to offer some of the best vegan brunch in town. Now they've completely ridden their menu of breakfast/brunch items other than on the weekends, and just offer rather simple bowls. The bowls contain very fresh ingredients, but are overpriced and not all that interesting. I got their Golden Dragon Bowl ($17), that came with lentils and brown rice as a base, "roasted" cauliflower and carrots (I put "roasted" in scare quotes because they really weren't cooked very thoroughly), raw spinach, and a few sprinklings of peanuts. The turmeric curry sauce is really nice though and is what makes this a tasty bowl. Otherwise, you're just getting base ingredients in a bowl for an elevated price. 3.5/5 My wife got the Bibimbap ($16), which came on a bed of brown rice, along with kimchi, pickled zucchini, broccoli, shiitakes, and usually tempeh but my wife subbed it for tempeh. She wasn't too enthused with all the pickled stuff, being way over the top. She also wasn't terribly enthused with the gochujang sauce -- she can definitely make it much better at home. This one was a bit of a letdown. 2.5/5 The dark roast coffee ($2.5 with free refills) deserved a special mention, as it was one of the better coffees I had on this stay. All in all, maybe we'll have to come back on the weekend. But these bowls were pretty underwhelming, albeit healthy and tasty enough (at least mine was).

    The food is literally to die for. The service is amazing. The people are crazy kind. Just down to earth beautiful people. The ambiance is completely healthy as you walk through the door. If you don't try the Tikka Masala you literally have not lived life to its fullest.

    Nachos
    Euriah L.

    Very empty when I went which I didn't mind. Ordered the Nachos as a starter and I honestly have never had anything like it before. My friend ordered the Pesto Pasta, and I ordered one of their bowls. Very delicious and filling! Staff was very calm and easy to communicate with.

    Came here during lunch and was able to sit outside. They have a cool huge open "window" so even the inside of the restaurant kind of feels like you're outside. I got a yummy bowl with a creamy turmeric sauce and veggies. It was a good portion size, I even had leftovers to take home. Staff were friendly!

The onigiri is art. And the service is always polite and professional. Always. I was physically at the restaurant the night these one star people were there. From what I could tell sitting at the bar and observing the ID in question, it looked fliiiimssy even from where I was sitting. I kinda get both sides ya know , sure one person in the group wants a drink w dinner but dude just tough it out and have your dinner. Instead they popped off and all started fussing and being entitled and it was just gross. I was enjoying a fantastic dinner but that table was like trying to take the stage. I think they ended up storming out and one girl like stomped off and said she was keeping her cup !! lol I worked in food a long time ago. And I've worked in cannabis under the watchful eye of the olcc so I'm on the servers side. Don't take chances and don't listen to these kids scramble for a secondary ID. Sketch. Go to obon. Get the Sando. Enjoy.

    This was one of the most humiliating dining experiences I have ever had…read more We chose this spot for a friend's final night in Portland. She had recommended it, was excited to share it with us. There was no single incident that explains what happened. Instead, it was a series of interactions that became increasingly dismissive, hostile, and ultimately humiliating. The first moment that gave us pause came when my friend's ID was returned so carelessly that it landed on the floor. The server then walked away without explanation, only to return and inform us she would not be serving us drinks. Being denied a drink was never the issue, though the manner in which it was handled felt abrupt and unwarranted. When we attempted to understand the concern, there was no effort to communicate, clarify, or review the additional identification we had available, including a passport. Instead, the interaction became increasingly adversarial. We were told we could cause the restaurant to lose its liquor license and were ultimately instructed to leave. At that point, it no longer felt like a conversation about identification. It felt like a complete breakdown in professionalism and basic respect. Before leaving, my friend calmly asked to speak with someone in charge. She was visibly upset, holding back tears, but remained composed throughout the interaction. Rather than attempting to understand or de-escalate the situation, another staff member escalated it further, becoming confrontational and referring to her as a "bish." I have worked in food service and understand that mistakes happen. Portland has no shortage of exceptional restaurants. I would spend my time and money elsewhere. 0/5

    As a vegan who loved Mexican food prior to becoming vegan, I have long lamented the dearth of good…read morevegan Mexican food -- indeed, prior to discovering Mis Tacones, the best vegan tacos I've eaten were beans, guac and a vegan cabbage slaw. And they were pretty good, but clearly lacking the flavor fully marinated meat flavors that tacos are famous for. BUT -! Tonight my dreams came true when I ordered -- and promptly devoured -- the vegan carne asada taco. Never have my taste buds danced with such ecstatic bliss as when savoring this bliss of spicy sabrosa-ness! Next I sampled the 3 Hermanos Empanada-- the interior was and cashew crema was delicious...and here is my only critique: the masa-based "pastry" (that enfolds the interior) was too heavy and dense. Now, truth be told my standards are epically high for empanadas, as I come from THE OTHER PORTLAND (Maine) and, as odd as this sounds for such a white-bread state, the best empanadas I've ever eaten (and there is a long list of empanada places I have eaten in NYC and SF) is in Portland Maine (it's called Quiero, and for good reason). So if I could conjure the greatest empanada ever made, it would involve the pastry shell from Quiero in Portland Maine with the interior 3 Hermanos filling from Mis Tacones in PDX. Mic drop, I'm out! Ps. Incredibly colorful, arty and fun interior. Pps. Cute queer staff who steered me right and are definitely flirt-worthy.

    Pretty solid all-vegan Mexican brunch…read more We arrived on a Sunday just after their 10am opening, and it was already starting to get packed. You order at the counter, and they bring out your food. (Despite counter ordering, 18% tip is still the minimum stanard option they prompt you for.) We all ordered the Soyrizo & Huevo Desayuno ($18), a brunch plate with soyrizo tofu and potato scramble, refried beans, Mexican rice, a grilled jalapeno, some grilled onion, and a couple of corn tortillas. Very tasty scramble, though the refried beans were a bit oversalted. Huge portion -- very carb-heavy, would've preferred some veggies in here, but that's Mexican cuisine for you. Doesn't really hold a candle to authentic Mexican cuisine you get down in Mexico, but pretty solid for Portland / northern US. The coffees we ordered weren't great quality -- pretty weak and watery. All in all, reasonable value, huge portions, tasty mains. Worth checking out.

This was where has this been all my life? good.

Experience: I visited Top Burmese for dinner with a friend and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. This was both of our first times. I am vegan while my friend is not and we had no struggle finding options that suited our needs. What stood out: Service: The staff was knowledgable and checked in on us frequently. Our food only took about 20 minutes to come out despite a busy dinner rush and we were offered chili flakes to spice up our curries. was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Food: For the table, we ordered the samosas which were perfectly flaky and filled with fresh veggies. I ordered the ruby garden non alcoholic beverage as well as the tofu curry with coconut rice. Every bite and drink of what I ordered tasted unique and made with intention. The samosas were incredible dipped into what tasted like a sweet and sour chili sauce. My tofu curry and coconut rice had a delightful blend of textures and tasted like no other curry I have ever had before. Ambiance: The atmosphere is so cozy with Burmese decor alongside dim lighting. It is perfect for a date night or catching up with a friend. Overall, I will be returning to Top Burmese to enjoy more of their vegan friendly curries and appetizers!
