    Left: jollof rice with beef Right: ofada rice with ayamase
    David P.

    Got some takeout to go from Deemeta Naija cuisine. I'm very new to Nigerian food (had homemade jollof rice once from a Nigerian friend), so I was excited to try out something new. Jollof rice: nice and flavorful, not very spicy (I had imagined it would be a lot spicier). The beef was very flavorful. I've had this before so it was kind of familiar to me. Ofada rice with ayamase: now this is completely new to me. I have to be honest: the initial impressions were not good: it was STINKY. Had a bite and I was like, this is an acquired taste. Then, gradually, after 5-6 bites, I couldn't stop - it was so good!! If you are familiar with fermented seasonings like fish sauce, this is kind of like that - the umami of the fermented seasoning was amazing. I liked the tripe and beef in the stew, very flavorful, chewier than I'm used to but it's nice and meaty. The folks at the cart were very friendly. Overall, the food was good, but quite pricy (18 for jollof rice and 25 for the ofada rice), and doesn't feel like a complete meal (I had some salad greens on the side to balance it out). That said, it was definitely delicious and I'm looking forward to trying more items here.

    Googling for a hot new restaurant and I stumbled upon Wolf and I am so glad the fates led me here…read more Was able to make reservations via Opentable. Reservation confirmation said, that door opens at 6:30pm and dinner service starts at 7pm. Phew, I'm sometimes bad with predicting the traffic patterns, so that gives you a little cushion. AND I arrived at 6:30pm on the dot. Ha! Plenty of street parking, but I wasn't sure I was in the right place since there was no sign. But, the building's number is clearly marked. So I stepped inside. There was music playing from the back of the building and I just kept moving towards the music. After 2 doorways, my husband remarked it was like we were entering a speakeasy. We stepped into a living room and proceeded through another doorway to find an open kitchen and jaw dropping red alder dining table. Standing in the kitchen was Chef Riley Eckersley and he greeted us like we were old friends. He had a couple of cocktails ready to pour and explained his concept of his place that has only been open for 3 weeks. Imagine an intimate dinner party (6 guests the night I was there) gathering for conversation while being taken on a culinary journey around Oregon. Throughout the evening, every detail was carefully curated, from the ingredients (from the coast to the mountains, he covered every corner), to the plating, music, and drinks (everything from mezcal, sake, orange wine, etc). The whole experience lasts 2 1/2-3 hours and I enjoyed every minute. I will certainly return as the menu changes with the seasons of Oregon. We began the evening as strangers, and ended as close friends.

    Everything from arrival through departure was amazing at every step. The welcome cocktail, all ten…read morecourses with pairings, the service, the ambiance. Top notch across the board.

    The freshness of the seafood was out of this world. In my honest opinion, their best dishes are the…read moreFlautas, Tostadas, and the sashimi. The flautas delivered an exceptional crunch with a lot of filling - alongside their lettuce and sauce that just made the dish amazing. The guacamole tostada was to die for. It's refreshing and very unique and complex in flavor. The sashimi was very fresh and beautifully presented. I think I could have lived without the Hokkaido Scallops and the Ceviche, but they were still fresh nonetheless.

    Food is good but definitely not worth the wait and for what you pay. The line took about an hour…read moreto go through. Their beverage service seems to be a bit of a cluster as people wanted something while waiting so went to the bar inside which they initially served people but then they started telling people you couldn't order there so would need to wait in the hourish line again for something (ie if you wanted something after ordering your food or like a modelo cause they moved them all from the inside bar to the outside). Probably had the worst tasting Hazy ipa ever from their interior bar as they would only allow cans for the exterior after saying they wouldn't serve the exterior people (much of what they said didnt make much sense and seemed like they just couldnt handle doing that many orders although the interior was only a couple patrons). Took about 30 min to get food. They say they sell out but seems like they just put up the sign and post that on ig once the line length will take them to closing (ie about an hour to hour half line from 8pm). Foods good but seems poorly managed creating waits and wasn't really that busy compared to other places of similar menus.

    My daughter loves this place, so she wanted to bring us here for pizza. Hubs and I are from the…read moreChicago area, so we have definitive ideas about pizza. We took a deep breath in and agreed to branch out. This pizza was delicious! Fresh! Definitely wood fired and thin, but not soggy. We ordered a pepperoni and added mushrooms, which were wild mushrooms. And yum! Pepperoni was crisped on the edges. The pho pizza had a nice Chinese five spice flavor with a sweet glaze as well. Lived the crunchy bean sprouts, and although I am not a cilantro fan, it was well used and not overwhelming. Overall, a really good pizza. And unique. I loved the simple concept of this restaurant and the honest execution of the food and service. I would happily return.

    Finally got to try Hapa Pizza today and we were definitely not disappointed but also not 5 star…read morewow'd either. Service is on the slower side even on a non-busy day (Saturday @6:30pm, surprising I know) but I get it, everything is made to order... Items we ordered: -Tom Yum Caesar Salad - Pho Pizza -Tom Yum Pizza The pho pizza was the only standout dish for us as it was unique and different. Their pizza dough was chewy, fragrant, all of the toppings including the brisket was fresh and tasty. Tom Yum Pizza wasn't as exciting. Needless to say, we've had better in Long Beach, CA where the tom yum flavors and ingredients really pulled through. This pizza was garnished with some French's crispy onions and cilantro on a lost sauce.. shrimp, unseasoned. Lastly, salad, meh- skip. Again, tom yum flavors had no depth and was just lost in the salad. I would try the kimchi burrata next time instead. Overall, it's a 3.5 stars for us- maybe if we have another experience it will be better next time. We shall see!

I order the fried…read moreoysters/catfish it which very well seasoned, piping hot also fried hard (the way I liked it), with the homemade tater and remoulade sauce. The chicken (was tender) biscuits and gravy were so good. Biscuits were fluffy, the sausage gravy had a taste I couldn't put my finger on be was so tasty. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and, soft in the middle with a smoky flavored seasoning that made me want even more. Service~Our server and customer service was top notch. We chose to sit on the patio and, he was managing 6 times at once. He greeted the both of us promptly with water. Took our orders and, while we wait he continued to check on us while refilling his our drinks. Ambiance~Very clean restaurant and restroom. It was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere. Only street parking and, it's in a residential neighborhood. We chatted another 30 minutes after our meal and, didn't feel rushed to leave. I would highly recommend this restaurant it's a family owned and, they are from Louisiana.

    Waited about 30 min to be seated. Took a little long for the food to come out…read more Large portion, pretty sweet. I would plan to share since they give so much. It's a good French toast but doesn't have that much banana flavor outside of the caramelized bananas. It was good with the sauce and whipped cream though! Also got some sides (egg, potatoes, coleslaw not shown) which were average.

We came on Thursday night so there was live jazz which was incredible. Let's get into the Food, (everything came out fast! ) Nokoss wings: Whatever sauce is on top is addicting! Very aromatic and very flavorful, enjoyed it a lot, will be thinking about these wings for a while. Goat stew and jollof and plantains: note, I am Nigerian so (I am biased lol) my expectations were very high. The Goat was tender, plantains very perfect, and stew on the sweeter side. Jollof wars out of mind, i appreciated the simplicity of the rice and stew. Poulet Braisse: 1000/10, seasoned, tender, filling. Definitely would order 100x again. We do not have this in Nigeria and I'm very jealous. Overall, as a fellow West African, I was really proud to see an African restaurant not only doing really well but being a pillar of the community. I saw they host a bunch of events from Jazz to poetry nights and etc. Well done to the lead chef and management, keep making Africa proud

They have a bunch of live plants, which are beautiful, and paired with cute hanging lights, like you're out on a patio. The food was amazing! My first time here, I hadn't eaten West African food before, and the flavors and spices were so nice. I also recommend the fufu. It's like a "bread" that you dip in the sauce. Very filling, and I took some of my meal home. My family also really enjoyed their meals. We all loved trying something new, and a lot of people had positive reviews of it. You can find parking on the street or there's a lot to the left of the restaurant just across the street. Side note, if you're wanting to go on Juneteenth, make a reservation! It fills up quickly.
