Jalapeno mozzarella sticks are nice. We were a little disappointed by the lumpia, but might have caught them on a bad day. The pineapple ice cream (sort of like sorbet) is VERY GOOD. And a pint container is only $1 more than a cone, so unless you really love a waffle cone, spend the extra and focus on the good stuff. There's nice outdoor seating on the park blocks, but if you eat inside, a robot is likely to bring you your food!

Great concept, gracious hospitality but the food and flow still need seasoning…read more We were really excited to try Hapa Barkada, Filipino and Hawaiian fusion is a rare find anywhere, let alone in PDX. Bonus: they're open late (until 1 AM per Yelp). Since Google showed incorrect hours, we called ahead before making the drive across town from Happy Valley. Perks: -Free street parking after 7 PM and on holidays -Open late (a big plus in Portland) -Casual, trendy vibe Ordering was frustrating. The cell signal was terrible due to its half basement floor. The WiFi passcode wasn't posted, we had to leave our table to ask a staff for it, and even then, it didn't work for either of our phones. The intent of a digital-only ordering system clashed hard with the reality. I suggested they keep a few printed menus on hand as backup. Kiaha, the owner, was incredibly attentive and responsive. When she heard about the ordering issue, she came to our table, apologized sincerely, and took our order herself. She even comped a few items, which we truly appreciated. Food: Not quite there yet -The surprise winner was the Volcano Broccoli, flavorful with great texture. Would order again. -Steak Bites were overcooked. We weren't asked how we wanted them cooked. The sauce added a little flavor but didn't save the dish. -Fried Tofu Plate came with mac and cheese, green salad, and white rice. All three were underseasoned and forgettable. The tofu itself was oddly crunchy in a stale kind of way, and the vinegar dipping sauce didn't add much. -Mac and cheese lumpia sounded creative, but it just didn't land, bland and kind of "meh." -The 15-hour pulled pork bao had generous filling, but the pork lacked richness, flavor, and texture issues. The bao was served cold, which didn't help. -Mocktails (we tried both available ones: pineapple, lime, and something else) were okay but not memorable. Super cozy 4x6 feet single stall neutral restroom. The scent diffuser was cranked up way too high for such a tiny room, almost overwhelming. We came specifically for the pork belly, only to learn it's a weekend only item, a bummer, but not a dealbreaker. We're rooting for Hapa Barkada and willing to give it another go, especially to check out the pork belly when it's available. P.Y. Provides toilet seat covers.

The bar and resturant are separate, which isnt a big deal since the place is so small. We went early on a saturday and there were only a few other people there. As we were enjoying our dinner more people started to fill the seats quickly. The online ordering system for the resturant wasent working properly so some items I had seen people post on yelp didn't appear on the online menu to order. The bartender suggested we actually go to the kitchen window and ask, and were glad we did. I wanted to try the poke bombs which weren't showing up on the menu, but sure enough they made them for us and they were good. We started off with that, and shared mochiko chicken, roasted broccoli, tofu with chimichurri and the fries. All were really delicious.

There's lots of seating and we came at a Thursday for lunch and it wasn't too packed. I had the Vietnamese Coffee flight to try out all the different ones, and the Ube cafe sua da was by far the best. I had the Vietnamese sizzling plate with baguettes and it was very good. The flavor is a little bit on the stronger side, but that's what I like so it was perfect for me and the portion was surprisingly enough even though it looked a little small coming out. Highly recommend eating it with with the baguette because dipping into the sauce was delicious. Look forward to coming for dinner sometime to try more!

Street parking available and a gender-neutral restroom, which is always appreciated…read more We came for dinner even though this spot seems more known for brunch. It wasn't too busy, and we had a big party; really appreciated that they gave the celebrants complimentary desserts, which was a nice touch. The pandan rice cake with ube ice cream was a my favorite. We called earlier and they got reservations available to be made. The pho was perfect for the chilly weather. The broth was strong and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked well. My friend got the noodles with crispy chicken and mushrooms, and those were phenomenal. The Vietnamese platter would honestly make a perfect date-night meal. This has great variety and fun to share. The fries and wings were flavorful appetizers and a great way to start the meal. Service was great overall, but a bit hands-off after the food was served. I don't remember anyone checking back in on us. Nothing was wrong with the food, but it would've been nice to have that quick follow-up. Would definitely come back, especially to check out their brunch next time.

For the appetizer ordered the hot fired cauliflower, which had some nice heat and great texture. I'm a huge sauce person and we asked if their as sweet and sour sauce available to dip and they brought out a bowl of their house made. As the vegetarian, I ordered masamum curry with tofu I was very smooth and flavorful. I really enjoyed the cabbage and veggies in it. The person who I was will ordered the BBQ fried rice and they said the rice and beef had great flavor! When I lived here in Portland I never had the chance to come but happy I stopped by before heading back home.

Food is great…read more Service is a hit or miss. I called before they opened and they took my order, I arrived at the expected time and they looked at me like a deer in headlights. They took the slip they wrote my order on to the back and said it would be 10 more minutes, it was 30 minutes more. Just be honest next time, I would have come back another day if I knew they were super busy. The portions have also gotten smaller- I started coming in 2023 and smaller and smaller they get, like the torta talong I've tried everything on the menu and it's authentic!

Absolutely love this spot on Foster in SE Portland!…read more Chris, who has served us the last few times, is fantastic--attentive, friendly, and always brings great energy. He's a Filipino native and also a Portland DJ, which adds to the cool vibe. The lumpia could be a little less crispy, but they're still tasty. The chicken adobo? Absolutely spot on. But my favorite dish so far has to be the beef mami soup--it's packed with flavor and tastes just like homemade comfort food. The chicken adobo noodles and beef were pure heaven in every bite. The ambiance is simple but carries a nice Filipino touch. If I had one small suggestion, it'd be to turn up the heat a bit in the restaurant. Other than that, it's an awesome lunch spot!

Orders are placed at the front like a fast food joint and the process felt a bit disorganized. The restaurant was quite busy, and seating was limited to small red plastic chairs in some areas. If you are there on a less busier day you can get a nice seat either outside or in their main dining area. Unfortunately, they were also out of several items including the chicken adobo, and fish. We were able to try their pork belly , steak, eggs and sausage with rice. Very delicious and you will go home quite full. Great vibe and chill atmosphere with karaoke

The drinks were amazing and the bar was able to make the drink I wanted, Rizz Fizz, as a mocktail which tasted excellent. Service here was top notch. Everyone treated us with kindness and we came in before the restaurant had their full menu but they were still able to accommodate us early. Despite that, the food was not a highlight of the night (review left on Hapa Barkadas Yelp page). Definitely would love to come back for another drink and to enjoy the ambiance.

The only thing I didn't love was my drink. I ordered the hibiscus Paloma, & tbh didn't taste much like a Paloma and wouldn't get it again. The poke salad was also subpar and knowing how good the other things on the menu are wouldn't get that again either.
