    Nem Kao
    Ploy N.

    They've clearly changed management/ownership from when I was last there. Menu is now largely changed. They've kept some of the good wings from before but now pivoted to more tapas dishes which are not bad. We enjoyed the Nem Kao and Charred Cabbage that was cooked well and served on a bed of creamy sauce. Definitely more western than what it used to be. The wings were small than what they're before. Firecracker Wings are still our favorite. The Thai Fish Sauce ones were too sweet for me. Need more citrus or savoryness there. Service was decent on a weeknight when the place was empty. Staffs were paying too much attention eventhough we're the only people.

    Nahhh... this place is not it. Ever since the original owner sold the restaurant, it just hasn't been the same. The new ownership doesn't seem to have the Asian flavors down, the sauces lacked depth and just didn't taste right. The wings were small, the portions felt reduced, and the menu is now very limited compared to before. Overall, it was pretty disappointing. I wouldn't suggest coming here, especially if you remember how good it used to be. The only positive was the service -- the staff was friendly and nice.

    My bf and I came here for lunch. We love chicken wings, and I especially love the Asian-flavored ones, like fish sauce wings. So, of course, I ordered the Fish Sauce Caramel wings, and a couple of other flavors including the Firecracker wings. The wings were tasty. Good flavor. And nice and crispy. Cute place, and great service.

    The restaurant is popular for wings, but the wings are disappointing. I ordered chicken wings with two flavors: fish sauce, and Thai chili. The wings are small the flavor it's not Vietnamese fish sauce at all. It is sweet and not flavorful at all. It's a little bit disappointing because I am Vietnamese and I expect the Vietnamese chicken wings better. At least the service is really nice. Parking is pain in the butt tho

    Very nice experience and the staff was wonderful. Drinks tasted great. Food came out fast. Would eat here again.

    What a great spot to get some great flavours and a twist on bar foods and tapas types of dishes. PARKING: Parking at night was not a huge deal but we did come pretty late. Plenty of space on the streets per usual in Portland. AMBIANCE: There's a bar inside with seats and some tables. They have some cool pictures on the walls on the inside and the atmosphere was very casual. SERVICE: Our waitress was very helpful and answered our questions. We were checked on multiple times. Our waters remained filled and the dishes were brought out piping hot and fresh! FOOD: Tom Kha Cocktail: Wow what an interesting drink! It had some savoury notes but the lemongrass was such a punch of flavour. Mango Sticky Rice Cocktail: Creamy goodness that reminded me of an elevated version of a piña colada. Firecracker Wings: Crispy and fried well. Not dry, and I got the hint of lime leaf and it's got good spice. Otherwise a good wing. Fish Sauce Caramel Wings: The flavour was pretty good. Sweet and salty. HOWEVER. The caramel hardened on the plate and every bite was sticking to my teeth. It was pretty difficult to eat to be honest. Vietnamese Street Corn: What a star. The dried shrimp made the dish sing. So savoury. Sambal Honey Carrots: Another star of a dish. The caramelization on the carrots was so good. Carrots cooked perfectly. Not too soggy and not undercooked. A delicious veggie dish. Smashed Cucumber Salad: This was light and refreshing. Good sesame flavour and creamy dressing. Pork Chicharrones: I mean fried pork rinds. Always good. Remoulade also delicious. Roasted Cauliflower: Another solid veggie dish. Carrot ginger puree was silky and bright. Well roasted and good char on the veggies. Lao's Sausage Roll: Yum. Perfection. No notes. Just delicious. What a great twist on a regular old hot dog. OVERALL: I'd give this a solid 4.5 stars. There are definitely some stars and their veggie forward dishes were probably some of my favourites. Definitely would come back here again.

    From the moment we stepped inside, we felt transported to Thailand. Casual but classy. Our server was exceptional. He guided us through the menu & recommended a few favorites. Attentive & a great flair for making cocktails. While enjoying the scrumptious food, the chef came out to chat. There is some serious talent in this place. If you are missing Pok Pok, come here.

    A fantastic experience overall. A friend and I had been trying our best to taste as many Weiner Week dishes as possible. After a long day of hunger, we decided to complete the week with Nom Nom. Parking is easy to find in this area most weekdays, but expect some weekend challenges. Walking and cycling make it easy - plus you can indulge more. Upon entering, guests move through a welcoming hallway that keeps the door area hidden from diners, which I love. The space is open once in the dining area, and staff quickly help you get seated. We chose a semi-booth so we could both sit against the wall. The team introduced us to the menu and drinks, and then we were off to make our decisions. I decided on a diet Pepsi and the Wiener. The Pepsi came quickly, and it was so good to enjoy some sugar. The Wiener was so tasty, and I was glad the team decided to use real sausage instead of a hotdog. The flavors of the sauce were so freaking yummy, and they complemented to hot pepper and the fried onions really well. I would have totally consumed two. I will be back when I need some wings, since, I had never been here before. Great vibes, good food, and the separation of tables in the space makes it feel welcoming and private.

    Stopped in for a late lunch and very happy we did. Every dish was savoury and delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Food came out nice and hot. Every bite was a new adventure. Loved the location with lots of street parking and very trendy vibes. Would love to come back again.

    We tried the Snowcrab Fried Rice, Fish Sauce Caramel Wings, and Fried Potatoes--and wow, everything was delicious! Full of flavor, cooked perfectly, and yes... nomnom indeed! We brought our 9-month-old baby, and even he loved the food. The server was super nice and thoughtful, especially when it came to our baby's needs--something we really appreciated as parents. The vibe is chill, clean, and family-friendly, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a good meal. Bonus: we went on a Wednesday and got 15% off wings! Can't beat that kind of deal. We'll definitely be back!

    Menu

    If I could give 6 stars, I would. My friends and I stopped in for wiener week. Not only is their service friendly and amazing. The food is out of this world. They were so creative in their interpretation for hot dog week, but it was easily the best one out of the 10 I tried. The menu is full of amazing choices. You can't go wrong. I also got the mango sticky rice cocktail which blew my mind. COME HERE!

    Went here for dinner our first night in Portland. We enjoyed all the food! It's a good place to have snacks and drinks, but not sure about a full meal. The chicken wings could have been better, but the rest of our food was good. Ambiance was cute! Service was good and attentive.

    Nice little unassuming place that once you dig-in just keeps getting better. I was greeted soon after entering allowed to choose my seat. They are quick to serve you but give you your space. I choose the Viet sausage as I remembered from the online pictures and I added the papaya salad after my first dish. I was really wanting a snack to the two orders was more than I wanted but after the sausage dish I had to try their sum tom. The sausage what an amazing dish. The presentation the flavors with the sauce and the lettuce to cool things down. The papaya salad was ok its own version. May have to give it another try in the future. They were talking up the new chef. Some people lingering others coming in everyone enjoying themselves. Stop in before a night to a game or the theater. Many other items on the menu to try it can take you to Asia for a bit.

It was so delicious that I brought my spouse back for dinner when he arrived later in the weekend. When I went the first night I got the shrimp pad Thai and it was the best pad Thai I've had in a long time. So full of flavor and fresh ingredients. I also got the hazy IPA from the local brewery, Backwoods. When we came back later in the weekend, my spouse got the shrimp pad Thai since I sang its praises. I got the million dollar shrimp tom kha ramen and it was DIVINE! I literally cherished every slurp and bite, it was so incredible and flavorful! My spouse got a different local IPA and I got a unique twist on a Negroni. The staff were extremely friendly helpful, ensuring that we had an impeccable experience from start to finish. Prices were also reasonable for the high quality ingredients, quantity, and presentation. The ambiance was wonderful, offering a clean, welcoming, and modern-green chic aesthetic. Not only did we have an amazing dinning experience, but also an amazing service and ambiance experience! If we are ever in town again, Buranko Cafe & Bar will be our top spot to stop!

The crab wontons were really good , crunchy and filling are well seasoned it wasn't just stright up cream cheese, I enjoyed them a lot with the sweet chili sauce. The crispy chicken was also really yummy, can't say the same for the the pad thai tho it was so, so salty. I'll continue to come back in the future!

After I read reviews about Portland's Chinatown, I searched for a dimsum place outside of Chinatown and found Jade Rabbit I liked the name of the place and saw that they had two kinds of rabbit-shaped dimsum! Another cool thing is that their menu is vegan... that means that I don't have to worry about dairy products that give me pain. We found free street parking about a half a block away and waited for Jade Rabbit to open at 11am. We didn't have reservations, but we're seated immediately. The decor was great! I enjoyed looking at all of the Rabbit figurines! The furniture was colorful and the convenient restroom had interesting decorations, too! The service was okay. Some items were not available and our server recited the list that included chow funn. Shucks! She came back later and said that the chow funn was, in fact, available... yay! Our server seemed a bit nervous as her hand shook and placed the special menu upside-down... LOL! We won't bite you! She recommended the Ube Jam drink - it was made with coconut cream... yes! The chow funn was a bit bland. We added some soy sauce. The Puto Pao Bunny Bao had an unusual flavor - maybe the brown sugar can be omitted because the black garlic and vegan pork might be fine without it? The Jade Rabbit Dumplings also could be more savory. Something was off... and the filling was a bit sparse. Anyway, maybe we could have ordered better, but we got what we wanted! Thank you for the cute food! Note: 22 percent is added to the bill - so no need to tip.

It had so many different flavors and textures, and somehow they all worked perfectly together. The waiter also suggested mixing everything together before taking the first bite, which I really appreciated. The ambiance was super cute, with a cozy little tiki-bar vibe inside, and they also have a few outdoor tables. The service was exceptional throughout. This is an easy 5-star review from me.
