    3.5 Stars Salted limeade was meh, something kinda off about it. The FOB Frites were good, not great. Might be better to serve the beef on top of the fries so they soak the delicious gravy. The taste of the semi-tender beef is reminiscent of Bo Luc Lac, not sure if that's what they're after. Overall, it satisfied. One friend finished their Pho, the other that ordered a spicier version did not. Service was friendly, he checked on us often.

    Abundance Bowl

    Atmosphere: Nice, cozy restaurant with a small bar. Feels very homey. Food: Outstanding. The Shaken Beef is one of the best dishes I have had in Portland. The Wonton Noodle Soup is fantastic as well. Was not the biggest fan of the Abundance Bowl though. Found it too dry and a bit lacking overall. Price: Prices are reasonable for the type of food and the quality. Service: Had a bit of a wait for my food as they had a lot of to-go orders to deal with, but the girl working was super friendly and very accommodating during my wait. Parking: Street parking. Plenty in the area Overall, one of my favorite restaurants in Portland and a definite to return to.

    Unfortunately overpriced and overhyped in my opinion. Way too saucy and oily in general and they didn't have certain dishes we were excited for.

    BBH soup

    Nice place with a variety of seating options, including outside. The service was nice and unobtrusive for a long lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in decades. Very interesting menu with things I had not seen before. I ordered the BBH (Big Beautiful Heart) soup. I think it was a bit too oily and would have preferred rice noodles to the thick noodles presented which I'm guessing were wheat based. But the beef in it was pretty good and I am glad I tried something new.

    Shaken Beef, Vegan Drumsticks ( g chay ), Nasi Lemak Com dua
    Jenny L.

    Came on a Friday night and immediately got a table. Bo Luc lac was tender & flavorful and so was the other dish. Vegan wings are super shareable, worth a try but wouldn't get it again. Food came out quick and fast! Drinks were good too.

    Decent meal. Place is located on NW Thurman. Lots of parking. Next to the old dragon tree location. Went for the chili crab which I saw on Instagram. Food was all fine. Asian salad had a nice dressing and super crispy tofu. Crab was ok. Wish they precut the crab or provided scissors or picks. Haianese chicken was ok. Chicken was moist - flavor so so.

    The food was super delicious, a bit pricier than other places, but you get quality here. I ordered the chicken rice dish, which is similar to Nongs. The chicken came with bones in and cooked to perfection. The dipping sauce might be one of the cleanest umami flavors I've tasted. There was a cup of soup served with this dish, and the broth was good, but dare I say it, too flavorful. I would recommend if you're not on a budget. Oh, also, the service was spectacular.

    Shaken Beef & Lychee Daiquiri
    Autumn A.

    Great spot! Got to enjoy a lovely dinner on their front patio, drinks were refreshing, I tried out the lychee daiquiri and it did not disappoint! Service was attentive and friendly. Got to see some cute pups walking as well as dining at the table next to us. I ordered the shaken beef and it was very tender and full of flavor. Can't wait to come back or try out their other locations in NE & new partnership with Stem Wine bar on Mississippi!

    Mama's Laksa cari
    Saira B.

    It's a super cute little restaurant. The inside is nice and bright. The weather was nice on the day we went and so we sat outside which alright, a bit simple but covered. The food, however, was anything but simple. Both dishes were seasoned beautifully! I loved the spice in the Mama's Laksa cari and the red wine was so rich and inviting in the Northern Pho pho sot vang. Can't wait ti try more of their menu.

    Okay so I am obsessed with everything these women do, Allouette was a beautiful place to dine and FK2 is an incredible next chapter. FK2 brings everything great about Friendship Kitchen into a space with indoor seating and a classed up vibe. The signature dishes here are wonderful - Order the Laksa if you want to go on a flavor journey. I love Laksa and theirs may be the best I've had. They also have some great choices to spoil yourself with, like the curry crab dish. My partner and I got this last time we went to celebrate our anniversary and we were in seafood HEAVEN. This location is still a work in progress, in the best of ways. We can count on them to continue innovating with the menu to figure out what works best and I am so excited to see what they have in store. My only complaint is that FK2 is further from me than the original lol. Well worth the drive. P.S. is anything cuter than the name? It is like a movie sequel, and I just freaking love it.

    Great ambiance and service. Food came out quickly and was so delicious. The flavors of the pho were on point!

    Pho
    Heather R.

    I visited Friendship Kitchen recently. I came for pho in particular. Service was good. I had the same experience as David P. There was flies that I was swatting away as I was eating dinner. The pho was good but it wasn't the best broth that I've had. It also was low on noodles. I probably won't visit again.

They are a pretty good hotel restaurant and the oysters were delicious during happy hour. Since we were here for many days we tried almost a lot of their items. I would say the oysters are a must, the drinks are delicious and the crab Benedict was so good! I didn't get to try their dinner menu but I wouldn't be surprised if it was also very good. Service was always friendly and nice! They also have us recommendations for places to check out in Portland!

    Don't bother unless you are staying at the hotel and have food & beverage credits. We stayed here…read morethrough the Amex FHR so we got $100 food credits + 20% discount and free breakfast up to $60. Food is good but the Portland food scene is strong so you can get something similar for cheaper and with better service, because the service is terrible here and they do an automatic 22% service charge which is not deserving for the poor service The restaurant has a cozy interior and a beautiful exterior with river views, and we opted indoors as there were mosquitoes outside and we did not bring bug spray. For dinner, we had lobster bisque with sourdough, ahi tostadas, octopus a la plancha, and hazelnut sturgeon with gigantic beans. The lobster bisque was okay, not creamy and felt more like a tomato soup with lobster chunks. Ahi tostadas were incredibly tiny - 3 pieces for $15. The octopus was good but only a few pieces with lots of potatoes inside - again value not there. The sturgeon was delicious but the beans were a bit rough. Decently executed but $44 for this is quite steep. One plus is that we ate right after social hour where hotel guests get free small bites and various wines that is more or less unlimited so that saved a bit of money on alcohol For breakfast, we had a mushroom hash which was very salty. The King Tide omelette was delicious - egg was a bit overcooked but the inside is creamy with a good amount of lobster - which it has to be for $32. We also got lemon ricotta donuts freshly fried which was also delicious. Service is where the reviews tank. If they are charging such high prices, the service must be amazing. However, it felt quite the opposite. During dinner, no one took away plates and so we ended up presented the bill with dirty plates stacked high on the table - very unclassy look. It took a while to flag the server down. For breakfast, most of the tables are empty but they forced us to wait 15 minutes at the sofa which was occupied so we had to awkwardly stand the whole duration. It would have been better if they seated us with menus and give us a heads up they are backed up and would need some time to serve us, so that way we can decide what to order in the meanwhile. Also, unlike the other tables, they never proactively gave water. Such huge misses in service felt like they are complacent that they get the 22% service charge and not try...

    We stopped in for dessert after an evening elsewhere in Portland. The parking lot had space and was…read moreFILLED with fragrant jasmine flowers. We were seated immediately, but waited a short while for our order to be taken. They seemed quite busy. The dessert menu takes up a whole page. You can see many items in the front case when you walk in. There were at least 10 gluten free options, all clearly marked on the menu. All looked delicious and the decision was difficult for once. My dad had the mango black tea panna cotta and I went for the raspberry gateau. The panna cotta had great flavor. Subtle on the tea, strong with the mango. A generous portion but light enough that it could be finished. The raspberry gateau was rich and chocolatey. The raspberries were a necessity to add dimension to the dish. I recommend this location for celebrations, evenings out, or for a sweet treat just because. Everything is clean and it feels fancy and special without being overly exclusive. This location is right on NW 23rd and would make a great stop before, during, or after a day of shopping.

Luckily, our group of five didn't have to wait too long before getting seated. We all ordered different desserts so we could try a variety of things. The crème brûlée was really good, super creamy and definitely one of my favorites. The boccone dolce was a meringue based dessert, which unfortunately wasn't really my thing. The Passion dessert was yummy with a nice sour tang to it. We also tried the triple chocolate cake, which was very rich, dark, and sweet. If you're a huge chocolate lover, this might be the perfect dessert for you. We ordered an affogato as well, and their vanilla ice cream was so good! One thing I didn't get to try was the raspberry matcha cloud, but it looked really good and I think my friend enjoyed it. Overall, I can definitely see why this place is so well known and popular. I'm not sure if it's somewhere I would personally go out of my way to come back to, but it was still a fun experience and worth trying at least once.
