My mom wanted to try the 5s5, I didn't love it I was looking for something for deli style, but don't get me wrong it was good. My mom loved it. I also ordered the Zappa of the day which was a parsnip puree, it was super tasty. I was sad they did t have pasta today, but the polenta ragu smelled and looked amazing as it passed by. The salad was soo pretty, I would have done without the nori but it was definitely something different. A good different. Very fresh. Now the whipped citrus curd with rhubarb compost. 1000% yes Don't sleep on this place. They even have parking and a covered patio. Will come again

Once my partner and I tried their chickpea patty sandwich (I don't know what it's called), I keep…read moreday dreaming about coming back to eat it. Since then, we've tried their black squid ink pasta and eggplant sandwich. But that layered chickpea patty focaccia sandwich is the real thing. Because of it's subtle flavor and texture, it feels like a comfort sandwich. And their roasted potato side is amazing!! It tastes like golden yukon and it's super soft and flavorful. Just writing about it makes me want to go back

What a charming little brunch spot! The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect place to enjoy a…read morerelaxing meal. I ordered the Black Pearl Benedict, and it was outstanding. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked, the toasted brioche was light and buttery, and the sautéed vegetables added wonderful flavor and freshness. The apple-balsamic crème sauce was unique and delicious, bringing just the right balance of sweetness and tang, while the toasted almonds added a satisfying crunch. The oven-roasted potatoes were crispy, flavorful, and the perfect side. Every bite was thoughtfully prepared, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I prefer the chicken breaded (that might not be authentic, I don't know), but here I couldn't tell if it was. Also, it was kinda tough. That said, the bread was crisp, the cheese gooey, the sauce tangy. Real good, I'd order it again. Friendly service, but I don't care for the ordering kiosk. I didn't see any hand sanitizer. I wanted to try the arancini, but they only sell them in a large order. It was just me so a sandwich and all that arancini would have been too much, and the remainder taken home wouldn't reheat well. I wish there was the option of ordering just one when getting an entree.

Was very 'soupy' and heavy on yogurt. Falafel was flavorful, but for $8 a little expensive for the portion. Two people running the restaurant, so the food came out at different times. Fries were soggy. One of the apps had a lot of olive oil in it, poured off a quarter cup. Wouldn't order the Original again, but other dishes looked interesting (half eaten before I could get a full picture). Mixed reviews around the table.

It was towards the end of the night. I get you want to go home but if you're going to fill orders do it correctly. Four falafel (see photos) for $8? Not remotely okay. I was missing the tahini sauce as well. The Fuul Shami was $8 as well for a small amount. I just felt like I didn't get what I paid for and the food wasn't good enough to make up for it. Bummer.

Very very good. The hummus and falafel are awesome. We always come here any time we are in the area.read more

OK onto the service and food. Food: awesome! I haven't been to Egypt in 20 years where I experienced the great and original Koshari in Cairo. I remember it being cheap good and greasy. This was not cheap (but it is a good value!!), it was very good, and not as greasy as I remember. But that's probably a good thing! Putting the extra lime vinegar sauce on it really helps and helps me dig into that flavor that I miss- of and the crispy friend onion!!. i've only had Koshari one other time in the United States and it was in NYC, so I really love being able to have this here. I brought a large group and our food took a little while because I didn't understand the ordering or I would've ordered in advance. once our long wait was over ( we had nine people) we devoured the food! Everybody loved it whether they had Koshari or the Mac. I will also note that the impossible Koshari was an especially good deal - only$2 to add a vegan burger to the top of the koshari! they ran out of some of the drinks that we ordered and replaced them with nicer drinks. The folks were excellent, kind, and really took care of us! glad i'm not too far away- i'll be back! also, i'm not a night owl but if you are ... this is your spot!

WOW!!! That is my first thought after my lunch yesterday at Laurelhurst Market. I had been touring…read morethe cathedral of music, at Music Millennium and I asked the gentleman at the counter where was a good spot to eat. He recommended Laurelhurst, and he was right on. I have been on a Reuben kick, and the best remains at Goose Hallow. But this was a close second, as it was great. I had a half sandwich, and I am glad I did, as it was quite enough. I had the Monsignor Murphy, which featured lots of House Made Pastrami, Swiss Cheese, Sauerkraut and Russian Dressing. I typically like a Reuben on marbled rye, as they served it on a Griddled Como Bread...and it was great. I didn't get her name at the order counter, but she was so friendly and engaging as well. Since this was my first time to the restaurant, she was able to provide me with a wealth of information. I will be back...and you can count on that.

We did end up sending it back (which i hate doing) and got it redone adding another 10isj minutes of waiting on top of our already pretty long wait (but again it was busy so we didnt rlly care much for the wait) but i did get full off of the sides by the time the redo came out The redo definitely tasted alot better, it didnt taste burnt which was good but in general didnt really have much flavor. I will say the potatoes were good, bell peppers were okay, unfortunately nothing was great....we ended up spending around ~$210 for two people for a meal that really did not satisfy either of us, we'll maybe give it another try on a less busy day but it was rough considering this was also our anniversary dinner

Akadi PDX is my top resturant in Portland. A must visit if you're in the area…read more Overall: 4.9/5 Started with the Suya wings, which were loaded with spices and super crunchy. Excellent crisp and chicken wasn't dry at all. Jollof meal with fried fish was also excellent. Fish was fried well and was flaky, and the sauces on top gave it a great flavor. Also tried the cassava soup, which had a great nutty and earthy flavor, but the beef was a little tough. Service was excellent, food was out fast.

We were so happy to try Akadi and get a taste of West African food. We came as a family of 6 and…read moreordered many things to share. We started with the chicken wings which came with a dry rub that was overly salty. The fried corn fritters were delicious, had a lovely touch of sweetness that the kids loved . The peanut stew was delicious, nutty, savory and complex spices. The goat soup came as a clear broth soup with so much goat flavor, we loved the cabbage that soaked this in. This was by far the spiciest dish we ordered. The pompano fried whole fish was flavorful, well cooked, and a good dish to share. The black bean shosho was fantastic, personal favorite - buttery beans, great with the sweet plantains. Each dish came with a side grain and so on a whole, we had white rice (not plain white and surprisingly flavorful), the couscous (not our favorite), and jollof rice (not as flavorful as we hoped). The restaurant keeps playing video ads recommending purchasing a bottle of their Akadi pepper sauce. We did really ejoy this sauce but were disappointed to find that it is not sold at the store currently. Our server told us to go buy a bottle at New Seasons. Only after being in touch with multiple New Seasons did we find out that apparently there have been production issues and so they have not recieved any stock for at least 6-12 months. Again - disappointing to not just be told this at the restaurant and sent on a wild goose chase. Overall, we found the service quite awkward. Our server told us he returned six minutes from when we sat down, thought we should have our order. However not being familiar with the food, we asked him to introduce us to the menu and he seemed put off and responded instead with "what questions do you have?." He also told us nothing was spicy aside from the goat stew (at least not true for the kids) and also did not come back for a good ten minutes to let us pay at the end of the day (we had to flag another server over).
