I went over to get their Hamburger Week special from last year that they had on for just three days on their menu again. It is a delicious burger, Angus beef with crispy fried onion rings and a Hong Kong-style pepper sauce. Just every bite so delicious that it doesn't even need any cheese! Go and say hello to your new neighbors and or just drive from the other end of town to show them some love. Moving is always such a headache we all know that but for a food cart it literally about surviving so let's make sure hawkers station does that.

The rice was seasoned and on top there were lots of the green onion and ginger sauce. There were also 2 other sauces too, one was spicy chili and the other was soy sauce. The chicken was nice and tender but they shouldn't have poured the green onion and ginger sauce on top for customers because it was TOO SALTY! And it made a pretty big puddle of oil between and at the bottom of the rice bowl.

Each bowl we explored showed depth, balance, and technique, from the richness of the broth to the precision in every topping. Even the non-ramen dishes held their own, thoughtfully executed and full of character. What stood out most was consistency--every dish hitting the mark, every drink complementing the meal perfectly. It's clear there's intention and skill behind every plate that leaves the kitchen. Respect to the chef and the entire team for turning out food that speaks for itself. Cheers The Dutchman

Yikes! We were quite disappointed by the meal and service. The staff looked at us when we entered…read morethe restaurant, walked toward us and then walked away. The ramen itself is confusing. I ordered the red miso, and there was sugar snap peas and asparagus, which is unusual. The individual ingredients themselves were fine but as a whole, it didn't taste like miso or spicy ramen. The overload of vegetables didn't seem to belong in a typical miso ramen dish (my go-to order) and rendered the broth quite bland. My husband ordered the black shoyu ramen, which was pretty one-note. Ota Tofu is one of my favorite spots in Portland for their amazingly fresh tofu, and it's right across from this ramen shop. Sadly, the tofu they used here was fried to a crisp, lost most of its flavor and had an unpleasant, sharp texture.

I also got a pour of Japanese whiskey which was excellent as expected. We got the Wagyu tartar, half a dozen oysters, and the Softshell Crab sando. I am a huge fan of soft-shell crab but this was the best prepared soft-shell crab I've ever had. The service was excellent and everyone was very attentive.

I came here for dinner one day with a friend and had a pleasant time. While the inside of the…read morerestaurant is spacious, and beautifully decorated, their parking space is really small and there are limited spots. You'll likely have to find street parking as we did. Service here was attentive and kind. My friend and I wanted to try a variety of dishes, so we ordered the Crispy Potatoes, Silken Ota Tofu, Chicken and Oregon Black Truffle Wontons, Hand-pulled Cabbage, and Ribeye Bulgogi. While this spot was good, I would definitely say that it is more Asian fusion than Chinese. I thought that the crispy potatoes and silken ota tofu were good but there was nothing super special about them. I was really excited about the chicken and Oregon black truffle wontons but was a bit underwhelmed by the lack of truffle flavor in the wontons we got. The bulgogi was pretty good, and I would say that the cabbage was my favorite dish with how prominent the flavors of Sichuan peppercorn and lap cheong were. Overall, not a bad spot for a dinner.

We dropped by Warsugai on a weekend as soon as they opened for dinner -- a bit odd in terms of timing but we'd been dying to try it and didn't realize they weren't open for lunch. We were seated right away since we were the only ones in, but service was super friendly and attentive. First off, the interior is so cute! It's unassuming from the outside but the interior feels so fun and quirky yet warm. 10/10 aesthetics. Now let's get down to the food; as always, husband the omnivore got the almond fried chicken and we shared a mix of other things including the crispy potatoes, silken ota tofu, french onion korokke, taishan cauliflower, and the summer chard. I was tempted to try the bokkeum bap aka the vegetarian main but I felt like there was more than enough for me to try from our shared dishes that I opted not to get it. The potatoes totally took us by surprise with how thin, crispy and yummy they were. If you go, you must get the potatoes, trust me. The silken ota tofu was good; nice and mild but could have used a touch more of the sauce. The korokke was surprisingly underwhelming so idk if I'd really get it again but not bad by any means. Just a bit on the blander side in regards to flavor. The veggies were all so so so good and my husband couldn't resist grabbing a cauliflower between all of his bites of almond fried chicken -- which per his review was good af. All in all, this is a super cute spot with a mix of vegetarian and meat options --I would highly recommend trying it if you're in the area!

They definitely have new and inspiring ideas but the quality and the flavors haven't changed a bit. Elbe (the co-owner) is also the Mastermind / Chef and comes up with crazy ass recipes that just smack. I could talk all day about their sweets but the absolute bomb for me is their chicken salad. The chicken salad sandwich at sweet and salty is -hands down- the best chicken salad sandwich in Portland period!!! It's got big chunks of chicken and a little sweet from some cranberry, some crunch with celery and Walnut and then some peppery spice that smacks you a little bit, but not too much. They keep it real simple and have a great white bread they put it on and, frankly, I can't get enough. I usually get one once a week or so depending and it never gets old. So one year and going strong. Definitely check them out!!!

Only downside is that the oysters are pretty small. Next was Pho Cuon Tay Ho. Meat was a bit dry and the rice roll is a bit too thick for me, personally. Sauce could've enhanced the dish but tasted like your typical hoisin. Bun Cha was really good too. Pork had the perfect ratio of lean and fat and fish sauce really helped cut through the richness, pretty flavorful and authentic to Northern Viet style. Also, the amount of noodles and herbs were on point. The Ga Rang Muoi was also really good too. This spot does a great fry on the chicken, crispy on the outside but still tender and juicy inside. It's in between a wet and dry batter, but seasoning was perfect on the batter. The sauces went well with the chicken too since they give you a bit of everything. One thing to be aware of: the chicken has a lot of bones. Overall, this joint has authentic Northern Viet food and most dishes were smacking, would definitely come again. Service was pretty good and attentive. Inside vibes are reminiscent of Vietnam, with the table and chairs.

A little spicy, lots of flavor, and enough lettuce to make it feel like a well balanced meal . Bakon smash burger and chickn Sammie both crunchy greasy deliciousness.
