Great food, and it's good to have sushi locally...my only complaint is the wait time. I write this…read morewhile waiting for a takeout order...32 minutes so far. Four items. They need a couple more employees, they seem to have lost a few of the original folks.

Just sushi and ramen. She said why but her accent was a little heavy and I didn't really understand. So I ended up just getting sushi. Good seasoning on the rice. It was a little light but better that than the other way. Good ratio of rice to fillings as well. Volcano roll was spicy good as we like to say at home. Also got the rainbow, California and unagi roll. All very delicious. They had a deal with a free California roll if you order $50. Overall makes this a very good deal. They definitely struggle with efficiency and im not sure if im a fan of the half open kitchen with the air fryer and microwave on the open side. I would return for sure. Hope for more items.

I nearly skipped this place thinking "I'm not much of a taco fan." However, my husband loves tacos…read moreand wanted to try it, fortunately for me. We ended up coming back the next day without hesitation for 2 days of tacos in a row and I'd return in a heartbeat if ever back in Hood River. These tacos are addictive! With their mix-and-match fusion menu, your taco of choice can really taste any way you like. The Hawaiian taco with grilled shrimp was my favorite, but I also enjoyed their Thai taco with chicken. I wish I could have tried all of them as everything featured good, fresh ingredients. Don't skip the drinks here either. I usually avoid cocktails but they offered to make their frozen margarita spicy for me and I couldn't resist -- fantastic! The service was over-the-top amazing. This is a casual restaurant where you order at the counter, seat yourself with a number, and wait for your food to be delivered. Service at such establishments is usually pretty perfunctory, but not at Love & Hominy. The servers are all super friendly and seem genuinely enthusiastic to be working in their restaurant. That in itself says a lot. As mentioned, this place is casual but still fun and eclectic. While eating your tacos in-house, check out the wall on the entrance side. It's pretty entertaining to look at.

The wait and lack indoor seating was awful. Sitting outside roasting In Direct sun…read more.. I appreciate that they had vegan options and I appreciate their creative fusion cuisine.

Severely overpriced.

The sake flight was also tasty and fun. My partner found the matcha ipa to be unexpectedly good. The menu could be easier to read though! Inconsistent formatting and usage of pictures. Skip the croquettes though, these were bland deep fried breaded mashed potatoes that seems like they'd been heated from frozen mass produced. TLDR: Ramen AMAZING, croquettes meh.

I got the udon yaki (forgot to take a pic) but I also got a couple of the Serrano chili margaritas.. They had a huge menu of drinks and a chalk board with written featured drinks The bartender was so friendly and engaging and made me feel so welcomed. I can't believe I missed out on this place for so long

We placed our order and headed on into the bar/gift shop area. They have so many cool books, trinkets, stickers, cards, etc. The plant and lighting set up in there is also incredible. We each ordered a sake flight which was so tasty! I reccomend the unique flight which has lychee, citrius dream and hot devil. These are all on the sweeter side. Our food was ready in no time and we found a little table outside to eat. The lights were glowing and the sun was just setting which made the ambiance perfect. I highly recommend the Ramen. The flavor was insane. I also enjoyed the mushroom sushi. This place is absolutely worth the hype and wait.

Went in for lunch with my wife and the place was almost empty, which set the tone early…read more Service was below expectations. Our waitress didn't understand the menu or the difference between sashimi and nigiri. I ordered the Sashimi Deluxe and was served nigiri along with a roll. To their credit, the manager stepped in and corrected it. Food quality was average at best. The sashimi itself was a C--nothing terrible, but not fresh or high quality enough to justify a return visit. One additional concern--there were empty food supplier containers sitting outside along the side of the building, which doesn't give a great impression from a cleanliness standpoint. Overall: Below average experience. Between service issues, food quality, and presentation, I wouldn't recommend it. --Ryan

If I could give this business zero stars I would. I was by myself waiting 20 minutes waiting to be…read morehelped ,no one did .they were not busy, shocker. Which I had to walk back to ask if I could sit at sushi bar. I couldn't it was covered in boxes they told to I had to sit at the bar to the right. I waited for awhile and then was asked for water. The bar was so dirty I asked for it to be wiped down I was so nice said thank you. The girl rolled her eyes.She said it was just water ,it was not, it was filth. The waitress Bridget L asked what I wanted with an attitude like I was doing a disservice in being there. She never serviced me ,she was so rude when I asked about specials that she didn't know about and asked her to check when she came back she said no I didn't check.why is this lady working here?!!!Never helped me was rude and unhelpful, barely even spoke to her. What a joke. She should not work In the service industry. She's absolutely terrible. I complained about one roll i ordered tastes rotten and I wanted one roll removed I would pay for the rest and this lady that claimed to be a manager told me to leave . When I went to leave ,she said she would call the cops if I didn't pay. Make up your mind lady. Should I stay or should I go?! I said I wanted to pay and you if the one roll was removed and she refused again. She is a head case. I tried to pay for everything else a she berated and yelled at me . She continued to threaten me and said they don't do that.. can't send back food because I didn't like it. I told her again it tasted rotten and I spit it out. You can see on the pictures below baked scallop roll where I spit it out. She also said if you don't like it it's not our problem. The last time I checked if its rotten ,im not going pay. . I proceeded to tell her I would not pay for rotten food. She fought a lot, was so terrible never experienced this in my life. . I started recording her because it was so crazy she said I was yelling the entire time, which I never did. I was on the phone with my boss who heard everything . I never did what she claimed was I was so nice and polite . MANAGERS AND OWNERS CHECK THE VIDEO RECORDINGS YOUR YOU HAVE SERIOUS LIABILITIES WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES ,I WAS TRYING TO PEACEFUL PAY AND LEAVE. Instead I got screamed at. I was there at 7/14 at 17:21:03. I also was throwing up afterwards because the food was rotten. Never in my life have I been threatened and disrespected in a restaurant. This place is a total disgrace and health hazard which I will report to the health board . The acclaimed manager could have just refunded me one roll instead of being combative. The waitress Bridget L is terrible and should never work in customer service again.. this dirty and unethical place needs to get shutdown. Do not ever come here. TERRIBLE FOOD AND SERVICE.

The four of us decided to eat before hiking, did a U-ie and ended up at the unassuming Hap Cafe. No…read morereviews? Let's roll the dice! Boy, did we hit the jackpot. The place is extremely unassuming inside. Very clean but hard to define just based on the decor. We were the only people eating there which gave us pause but we were too interested in eating to care. A friendly local arrived soon after us. He loves the place and eats there several times a week. He also lives next door so there's that. Server is a delightful immigrant from Vietnam who shared her whole life story with us. Efficient and responsive. I ordered a BLT with extra crispy tots. This classic was excellent, just the right amounts of bacon, thick tomato, fresh lettuce and standard wheat bread. A correct amount of mayo too. Nothin' fancy, just good. The tots were the crispiest I have ever experienced. I always prefer extra crispy. These were crunchy at least halfway in! What others ordered: Denver omelet with crispy hash browns, small stack of fluffy (looked like soufflé ones!) pancakes and a bowl of won ton soup. The star of the entire meal was this soup! When it arrived, the oohing and ahhhing began. Huge bowl, absolutely crammed with gigantic wontons. Why so big?? Each one held a whole shrimp with pork wrapped around it! The soup was full of fresh veg and the broth was complex. I was hit with entree envy. My cousin ate steadily from that bowl for at least 15 minutes. It was still 2/3 full! In fact, she and her husband ate the rest for dinner that night!! All in all, we were delighted with our discovery. If you are passing through Carson, stop by and give Hap Cafe some love and your patronage. I might see you there --- bent over a spectacular bowl of won ton soup!

Stepped over from Wayfinder because out of the options, Thai food seemed the best. I will say it…read morewas a bit different than I'm used to. I have come to kind of recognize her general consistency with my pad kee mao. One of those consistencies is the dark soy sauce. Yeah, that was kind of disappointing and I know some Thai places don't use it quite as much but to me that is pad see ew. In a lot of ways that felt more like a pad see ew. The veggies were very fresh. I did not like the green beans that feels like an odd choice in there but again I only know American Thai food, but I've eaten it many many Thai food restaurants. The other thing I was not the cutest fan of is putting it on top of a big piece of lettuce. I mean by the time you get down there that lettuce is just wilted and horrible so might as well just keep it out. Overall, all the flavor was very good. I wish the egg were mixed in more rather than thrown on top. I guess it did look nicer and its own way, but not sure if I'd return again I don't think that it was necessarily bad food, but I definitely don't think it was my style of Thai food. And truly yelp fashion I'd give it a 3.5 if I could

It added a creamy texture to the rice. The young man working there, maybe an owner, was very helpful with my selection. If I lived in the area this would be on a regular vist rotation for me.

I could only eat about half before I was full.

We eat very good Chinese food on a nearly weekly basis. My kids (19, 15, 10) stated that if this restaurant was local to us it would be our new favorite. The meats and vegetables were all fresh and tasty. Always a great sign. Exceptional service and attention to the customer by each member of their staff, my family felt welcomed, nourished and relaxed. After so many mediocre experiences over a 16 day, nearly 5 thousand mile road trip these folks really hit a home run with our family. If you find yourself anywhere near The Dalles do yourself a favor and enjoy their great food and hospitality. Food portions were great (and leftovers travelled home and were promptly consumed). Price is right. Highly recommend.
