    This place is goated. It is open late night and serves a full menu. We ordered so many items, basically the whole menu and there wasn't one dish that disappointed us. Everything was very good. The staff were awesome and very friendly. They also have a nice outdoor seating area which we enjoyed quite a bit. Get the fried chicken and the ribs.

    I was so excited to try Moon Pocha and it definitely delivered! I went for my birthday dinner recently and had an absolute blast. The waitstaff were super kind and peppy. Nice ambiance as well! Very dark lighting when you first come in but you'll get used to it. The food was absolutely fantastic, super hot, and definitely something I'm looking forward to eating again soon.

    This place really subverted my expectations! As someone who is more familiar with mom-and-pop Korean spots, I wasn't sure if their fancier take on Korean dishes would hit but they actually do an amazing job. Everything we got was flavorful. You can taste the high quality ingredients in the dishes. My least favorite thing was surprisingly the Fried Chicken. It's good in the Chili Maple and Soy Galbi sauces but I've had better. The Spicy Teokbokki though...The best version I've had. Their fish cakes were next level. The Gochujang sauce was also super balance and punchy. 10/10. The Tsuran Lamb Bites was another unexpected hit! Meaty chunks of tender lambs covered in delicious cumin sauce. Lovely service, hip vibes. Staffs were super friendly and attentive. Bonus point for the unlimited complimentary rice as well.

    We came here for Valentine's Day, no reservations but we were 3rd in line so sat down quickly. The place filled up quickly but service was prompt and our server was very attentive. The ambiance was good, definitely elevated casual. Food ordered: Tteokbokki - 9/10, perfectly chewy rice cakes, sauce was spicy and good consistency, and I'm not usually a fan of the fish cakes but these were delicious! Korean fried chicken - 8.5/10, ordered the soy garlic flavor. Good crunch on the outside and the sauce was flavorful. Beef Bulgogi - 6/10, this was probably my least favorite dish, the beef was a little tough and the flavor was too mild for my taste. Would pass on it next time. Kimchi: 7/10, was yummy and a huge serving! Just hate that I have to buy my banchan à la cart but that seems to be the trend. Our drinks were also really delicious! Don't remember the names. Overall I enjoyed my meal and the experience, so I will be back!

    Disclaimer: Maybe this was just an off day. I came here with a friend and pretty high expectations. Food: Beef Bulgogi Bowl (1/5) I love bulgogi, so this was disappointing. The broth had almost no flavor, and the beef was really tough, like it had been overcooked. I also tried some of the kimchi my friend ordered. It was much too spicy for my taste, though someone who likes very spicy food might enjoy it. Service: Fair. They ended up comping a dish that my friend didn't like, which we appreciated. Ambiance: Busy, but still easy to have a conversation. Works well for both pairs and small groups. Overall, I'm giving this 2 stars mainly because of the service. Without that, it probably would have been a 1-star experience for me.

    Came in for a nice Friday night dinner. Be warned, the music was loud! It felt like a tourist destination on spring break, even though it was the middle of winter. Not really my vibe. The terrible pop music was blaring loud, other than that the environment was nice. We had to wait a bit for a table for two so we just went to Holman's down the street for a pre-dinner drink. After about a 30' wait we ended up ordering the radish kimchi, jap-chae, and the 'lil' fire chicken along with a bottle of soju and beer to share. I liked the concept of the soju/beer Korean sharing culture as something new to try. As for the food - we loved the jap-chae! It was the best thing we ate. The radish kimchi was good, but beware if you can't handle much spice. It was a good appetizer but not for those with who are cautious of spicy foods. The chicken with corn was 'meh'. It was just a little bland. I think maybe the corn cheese just kinda took over the show, which to me was not particularly flavorful. Overall, an ok experience and at least a place to share a soju/beer with a friend.

    I made Review #1100 for Moon Pocha PDX. I really have to stop stalking @ The Korean Momma's Instagram post hehe. I loved Korean Momma's Moon Pocha's reel and as usual I had to bookmark to check it out. We were on our way back from Seattle and so glad Moon Pocha had a late closing time. We found street parking around the block and walked in the freezing cold PDX weather. Moon Pocha is Portland's newest Korean pub-style restaurant located on NE 28th Avenue, they serve up authentic Korean style street food which includes Tteokbokki, Korean fried chicken, along with grilled pork belly/Bossam. It wasn't too busy when we arrived, which was about 11 pm, got a table right away and from seeing a few other Moon Pocha reels I had an idea of what I wanted to try, I went with my faves. Moon Pocha has a very hip, fun & inviting atmosphere. Our waitress ( forgot her name, moved from SF) was super cool, it was nice chatting with her, after we got our orders in and before we left. Our orders were Army stew, Jap-Chae and Creamy basil chicken. I think rice was unlimited servings but I am not sure if it is unlimited. We had our share of rice servings because it was so hard not to have rice with all this food, hehe. The only junk part is here at Moon Pocha, they don't provide ban chan, which I do miss this at a Korean spot! The food was good, enjoyed by us, but I do regret not ordering what the Korean Momma had. The creamy basil was interesting but good, first time I tried this style, the Jap Chae was on the sweeter side, which is fine since I miss eating this dish and the Army stew was yummy even though it was a simple dish to make! Moon Pocha closed only on Mondays and open from 4:30 pm-12 am on the rest of days. Great spot/vibe for late night dining, thank you for opening later, happy belly & Yes. I would visit again!

    The restaurant is nice and the food is good. The customer service is excellent and they even pour the drink for you. The restaurant is good for a group less than six people because they are pretty small. I think this is the best for date night. The food is pretty flavorful, though the portion is a little bit smaller size I like fried chicken the most because they have a lot of different flavors that you can use. The pork belly bow is also pretty good even though it is a little bit spicy highly recommend for small party.

    Garden Croquette

    Service was fantastic--friendly and accommodating (we noticed cheese corn wasn't on the menu, but the waiter informed us they could still do it upon request). We were given little bags of Korean candy on our way out the door which was the cherry on top to already top notch service. Food was PHENOMENAL. This was a last minute pick because we came super close to the holidays without a reservation, so everywhere on this street was packed. We got the last large party table as walk ins. Garden croquette: ORDER THIS. Order for the insane basil sauce that it comes with and dip your crispy tofu in it too. Crispy tofu: Yum! Lots of arugula. I think the vegetarians would throughly enjoy this dish. Get the garden croquette too and mix the sauces. Beef bulgogi: There's some broth in the pan that is very light and flavorful. Yummmmm. Fried chicken: We got half and half sauces. Definitely recommend. Kimchi: Made in house and fresh everyday. A must. Cheese corn: Available upon request. Fantastic. It's evident we loved everything we ate here. The ambience was really lively but not too loud, and it was the perfect meal to share with a big group. We'll definitely be back!!

    Moon Pocha seems like Portland's best place for reasonably priced, elevated delicious bar food. The menu is extensive (both drinks and food) and the food comes out quick. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Things seem to get busy quick so plan accordingly! (They take reservations but we walked in for 2 a Friday 6pm)

    Moon Pocha is seriously a hidden gem in Portland. Super easy to miss if you're just driving by, but definitely worth finding. The food was honestly really good and the atmosphere was amazing. It feels more like a cozy date night spot for couples rather than a big group hangout. I went with a group of 6 and we ended up waiting about an hour to get seated. Even with the wait, the food and vibe made it worth it. Definitely recommend checking it out if you want good Korean food and a nice atmosphere.

    Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Came here for late night bites. The food honestly looked better than it tasted, but the overall experience was still enjoyable. We came as a group of 3 with no wait, though the inside looked pretty full. The space has a dimly lit, cozy vibe great for hanging out and yap with your friends The service really stood out. The staff were friendly and gave us some recommendations since it was our first time dining in and checked in on us often. We ordered a little bit of everything to try: Spicy rice cake - it was not spicy at all but it was chewy and pretty good. Fried chicken we got half gochujang, half galbi soy - staff recs , it was very crunchy, which I liked but the flavors leaned quite sweet and weren't really my preference. Japchae- a solid dish and easy to share. We also got the bulgogi ( I forgot to take pic of) - this one surprised me. It was more like a soupy bulgogi and also on the sweeter side, which I wasn't a fan of. Overall, it's a good spot to hang out late at night, especially if you enjoy small bites with sweeter flavors. I'd still be open to giving this place another chance.

    We walked in around open, so it was a smooth experience. Our server and the bartender were both great! The vibe is definitely club like... First impression is Korean bar/street food elevated and damn do they deliver! Brisket ramen was phenomenal! Fried chicken was the stuff of my dreams! The cucumber kimchi with spicy mustard was refreshing. I would eat all of them many times over! We will be back for more. Prices in line with 28th st, not cheap - the normal "ban chan" or side dishes are all individual dishes you pay for - even kimchi

Navarre has been part of Portland's food scene since the early 2000s and guests are encouraged to explore a variety of small and large plates and eat however they want. The cuisine draws from French, Italian, and Spanish traditions, while incorporating seasonal Pacific Northwest ingredients. Based on my research, Navarre also works with 47th Avenue Farms, with specials changing based on what arrives each week. So, getting to sit back and let the kitchen choose ten courses felt especially fitting for Navarre. Instead of deciding what we wanted, we got to experience a little bit of everything. We started with a pâté dish served with green beans and Dijon mustard, which was delicious and had a wonderful savory richness. There was also raw radish with butter, which was a very unique combination! It wasn't my favorite dish of the night, but I appreciated how unexpected it was. The cod over a green sauce was one of my favorites. The fish was excellent, and the sauce really brought everything together. We also had a delicious crab-and-potato cake that paired beautifully with a kohlrabi salad. The meats were excellent as well. The steak was delicious, and the lamb was flavorful and tender, served with what seemed to be a quinoa-like grain. We also had greens and a salad that helped balance some of the richer courses. And then there was the potato gratin. My gosh....flavorful, crispy, and wonderfully comforting. Honestly, potatoes rarely need to do much convincing with me. I loved the variety of the tasting menu. Over ten courses, we got fish, meat, vegetables, salads, grains, and plenty of different textures and flavors. It felt less like simply ordering dinner and more like going on a little culinary adventure. This was an extremely memorable meal for us!

The menu is clipboard style with lots of options - - just choose what you want in a small or large size. We shared a bunch of things - - but we were limited a bit because I am gluten-free and dairy-free, but what's new. The menu isn't marked for allergens, and our server wasn't quite sure what was safe for me - - she said to stay away from the gratins and that she would double check on the items we ordered to make sure they were ok. I'm not sure if what I had was made the way the chef normally prepares the dishes or if they altered dishes for my diet. So, keep this in mind while I run through my thoughts. Food came out in good time. Our table was filled with lots of little plates. Most of the vegetable dishes we ordered were kinda dry - cauliflower, zuchini, greens and the beets were ok. Nothing really special. The shrimp and tuna were prepared well. Wine, beer and cider only. Server was efficient. Street parking.

Potatoes were ok, but not remarkable. Spices were right, but just didn't sing for me. Service was nice enough. I did like the aioli as a dipping side for the taters.

    Searched for pasta on Belmont and this was the first to come up. Cute little cart in front of…read moreCompanyPDX. I had no idea what would come from this,but let me say this pasta blew my mind! The menu seems to be constantly changing, so be sure to follow their socials for specials. I visited near the end of the day so most of the menu had sold out. I would have loved to try their gnocchi, but was happy to get their last Ravioli of the day. My order was done and ready before i even finished my beer! The savory sauce flavor was amazing! Each bite felt like I had just ordered from a fancy Italian restaurant. I couldn't believe the mix of green sauce and pine nuts in this dish, I wanted more! Give it up for what hopefully stays as a Companypdx food cart because I plan to come back for more.

    Perfect vegan pasta. No really, top notch quality pasta from a cart outside a tiny wine bar. Plus a…read morewine bar right there if you want a nice pairing. Order up some food, grab a patio seat in fine weather, and maybe enjoy a nice glass of wine while you're at it. Or not, the food is honestly worth the trip alone. The cart is run by just one person (partnered with Vtopian cheeses) so if it's busy, you might wait for a bit with your pager. But if you know Vtopian cheeses, you know the quality of food is going to blow you away so it's worth the wait! I didn't get any pics the first two times I've been here (sorry) but everything has been rich, bursting with flavor, and perfect al dente texture on the home made pastas. Rotating seasonal menus take advantage of what fresh and available. Check out the insta feed for daily specials and status updates.
