    Mushroom congee
    Camellia L.

    Service was amazing! We came around 15 minutes without a reservation on a Sunday and were seated promptly. Food came out very fast. The ube pancakes were the star of the show - they were so moist and bouncy and truly I savored each and every bite. The umami of the congee shone through and the breakfast plate was also delicious but less so in comparison to the ube pancakes. Would definitely come back!

    Lumpia

    This place has been on my list forever and I'm so happy we finally tried it. It's inside the Hoxton hotel, in a bit of a dicey downtown spot, but it's truly beautifully decorated and expansive inside. It's best to secure a reservation, we had to wait about 15 minutes on a Saturday, but it does fill up. We started with the lumpia, which may be the best lumpia I've ever had. I appreciated how big they were, fully stuffed, and fried to perfection. I had seen so many Instagram reels of the pancake and I just needed it and boy did it deliver. It was sooooooooo soft, but the edges had a little crisp. The ube crème anglaise was the perfect addition, not too sweet. This pancake was a delight to eat (and trust me I've had a lot of pancakes). My husband and daughter both had the pork belly Tocino and happily finished it. Overall this place is definitely worth a visit. I would be so happy if this were my hotel restaurant! I'll be dreaming about that pancake until my next visit.

    This restaurant residency is on the left side as you walk into the Hoxton hotel. It is a really cute space with nice comfy armchairs as seats, and it has a very warm atmosphere. In my experience today, the staffing was good, and I made a reservation like other reviews suggested but it didn't seem that necessary despite it being Sunday at peak brunch time. As everyone suggested, the pancakes (which use mochiko flour) were the star, and the calamansi soda was tangy and tasty. I felt like the tocino and the arroz caldo were good but I wouldn't need to try them again. I'd be interested in trying the French toast next! Apparently pancakes just barely take the win compared to the French toast but it's a pretty nearly even split in fans, per our server.

    This place should be on everyone's MUST TRY brunch list in PDX. First of all, I highly recommend making a reservation. My friend and I tried to do a walk-in, and the wait was over an hour. We ended up just booking a reservation for another day. We were so glad we ended up making a reservation to give this place a try because it was SO delicious. The vibes are absolutely fantastic here. I loved all of the furniture/decor/aesthetics of this place. It's a casual but nice and homey vibe. You feel very comfortable eating here. My friend and I each got the pork belly tocino and then 1 plate of ube pancakes to share. These are the best ube pancakes I've ever had in my entire life. The toasted coconut and berries added with the pancakes were just absolute perfection. The flavors all went together so well. The pork belly tocino was absolutely delicious and fantastic. I'm still thinking about the food from here, and I'm so sad that I don't have this restaurant back in my hometown (Houston). I would definitely come back here again, the next time I ever come back to PDX! Loved this place so much.

    Pamana was a fabulous little sport for breakfast! We tried a variety of sweet and savory, everything was tasty. For the silogs we got both the longanisa and pork belly, and for sweets we got the pancakes and French toast! Of the two the pancakes stood out more, but the toast was still a nice not too sweet option. There is tons of seating, lighting and vibe is comfy and upbeat. Staff was all super sweet and knowledgeable, I'd come back!

    Turon French Toast
    David K.

    Disclaimer: I grew up Filipino, so I might be a bit biased coming in. Food: Ube Pancakes (4/5) Soft and fluffy, almost like mochi pancakes. The ube sauce was good, but I wish the flavor was a bit stronger. Corned Beef Silog (4/5) Comes with smaller eggs, but the thick cut corned beef really stands out. Great flavor. The garlic rice was solid too, though it might feel a bit strong if you are used to plain white rice. Turon French Toast (4/5) Thick cut with good plantains on top. It had a slightly chewy, mochi-like texture, which I enjoyed. Ambiance: This is basically in or right next to a hotel, so it has a more opulent, polished feel compared to most Filipino spots. Feels a bit elevated but still comfortable. Good for pairs or groups of four. Service: Friendly and smooth overall. No issues during our visit. Note: The bathrooms are located outside in the hallway and are three single stalls. They are small but clean and well stocked. The accessible one is more spacious and includes a good changing table. Overall, a solid spot for Filipino comfort food with some fun twists on familiar dishes.

    Sando with the crispiest potatoes & The Pancake (before ube pour)
    Tiffany V.

    5 stars because the mochi pancake was a DELIGHT! Not too sweet and with the perfect crisp edges. Not too dense (there's two pancakes stacked on top of the other). Great chew while being light. Ube foam is very subtle and pairs perfectly with the coconut sprinkles. My friend got the breakfast sando & the potatoes were sooo crispy. Yum. Service was very attentive and friendly. Food took a hot second to arrive and we were only one of two tables present with customers. That being said, this place deserves a larger crowd. Overall, a fabulous Filipino brunch spot inside a charming hotel in Chinatown. Get the pancakes.

    Ube pancake
    Noe C.

    10/10 visit, with amazing food. visiting from SoCal and saw this spot on TikTok. Ube pancakes are a must. so delicious and crispy and fluffy. would 100% go back just for these. one of my fav pancakes I have had. Got the pork belly dish with rice. more on the simple side but tastes like a homemade dish. seasoned and flavored to perfection. staff was friendly, even saw the owner and read their story online, how sweet. inside decor is very nice and clean. Also tried one of their breakfast sandwiches super filling and packed with so much. If ever back in Portland, would def come back here, *Note: entrance is from hotel lobby to the right, you will be redirected if there are staff.

    For me, I was just tagging along. She knew where she was going and what she wanted! It was fabulous. My favorite thing about finding new food places is when they have options for everyone. Vegan, vegetarian, GF. This place has it all. I had a vegan bowl. I got the something aroz something bowl. It had mushrooms and radish in it. Interesting texture but nothing to keep me away. I slurped / scarfed it down! She said I would regret not having the pancakes. And she was right. Those were so good! Cuz I got to try a bite. They are GF. The owner served us. It's in a hotel. The seating was fabulous. Comfy and cozy sets. You apparently need to have a reservation on weekends. Lunch time was great.

    Ube Pancake
    Nicholas O.

    Tried a few items and really enjoyed the overall experience. The ube pancakes were a standout, almost like giant butter mochi. Light, fluffy, and chewy, with a great ube flavor that wasn't overpowering. The hint of mint was an unexpected but really nice touch. The lumpia were perfectly crispy with awesome flavor. The dipping sauce was slightly thick and absolutely delicious - worked really well with the crunch. The longanisa breakfast sandwich was solid overall. It didn't taste like longanisa, at least what I'm used to. But the chilies added a nice kick. The real highlight for me was the potatoes, so crispy and well-seasoned. The place was really empty which was weird, but nice to enjoy ourselves. The service was friendly and quick. It was a little bit till we got utensils but overall good service.

    Brunched at Pamana today with a group of four and loved it! The place gets busy, so definitely make a reservation if you're coming after 10ish--it fills up fast. We shared the Ube Cream Anglaise Pancakes with Coconut Berries, Pork Belly Tocino, and Mushroom Arroz Caldo. Everything was outstanding. The pancakes were heavenly--made with mochi batter, super fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. The ube drizzle and cream anglaise took them over the top. Definitely big enough for sharing. The Pork Belly Silog came with three crispy, slightly sweet pieces of pork belly, a generous serving of garlicky rice, and eggs cooked however you like (we tried scrambled and over-medium--both great). The little veggie salad on the side (cucumbers, onions, cherry tomatoes in a fish sauce vinaigrette) balanced the richness perfectly. Pro tip: try it with a little banana ketchup if you're feeling adventurous! The Mushroom Arroz Caldo was pure comfort--rich, savory, and looked satisfying but we did add hot sauce to spice it up a bit. Overall, a fantastic Filipino-American brunch spot with great flavors and portions to match. Can't wait to come back and try more!

    Pork Tocino
    Kiara Mae S.

    AMAZING FOOD. This restaurant is delicious and serves amazing Filipino food - Filipino approved! You must try the ube pancakes, they have perfectly crisp edges and fluffy + chewy inside. The ube sauce had a strong ube flavor as well which blew my expectations. The staff was wonderful and checked up on us regularly. The interior was very spacious with many seating and had a peaceful ambiance. 10/10 would come again.

    i was looking for this place for 5 minutes because i missed the sign that said it is inside the hoxton hotel. hopefully my review will help someone find it more quickly. the space is very nice and open. i love their style of decor and the wide windows. there was also a lunar new year parade happening outside which was fun to as it passed. the service could've been better. our server was very nice but slow at checking on us and i had to ask for the water to be filled. even then, they only filled one pitcher even though we had another empty one. despite this, the food was very good. i was very surprised at how much i enjoyed it. my burger was not too greasy yet juicy. i got it with no cheese, light sauce, and chili on the side which ended up being delicious. the only thing i would recommend is adding some sort of vegetable to the burger, such as arugula, to balance the flavors and give it more of a fresh taste while making it healthier. i also had a bite of the mochi pancake which was sooooo good. it was such a perfect texture and it wasn't too sweet either! i originally ordered their version of an old fashioned (forgot what it was called) but it was super strong in alcohol. the drink supposedly featured some coconut flavors, but i did not taste any of that. i let our server know and the bartender made me a new drink based on what i like, which was a nice personal touch. i really appreciated that and i'm happy they accommodated to my preferences. i definitely recommend checking this place out!

    Do they serve alcohol?

    Essentially, yes. There's a full bar run by the hotel, and they collaborate. You pay Pamana for food and their beverages. You pay the bar for the alcohol.

It handful of tables inside with a nice covered patio outside. The vibes were great... until they weren't. We greeted our waiter with "Mabuhay" in which he replied, "What?" confused- it's literally painted on the wall my guy. Crazy way to start dinner. Food came out impossibly slow. The restaurant wasn't full so I'm not too sure why it took as long as it did. They didn't mention coursing it out so we assumed they did. Drinks were all on point, everyone loved the Filipino inspired cocktails. Ube Colada was the table's fave. We ordered a bunch of things: 2 Skewers of the Bistek [$12 each], 4 Skewers of BBQ Pork [$10 each]. Bistek could have used a little more lemon/citrus as Bistek is known to be a little sour but the steak was amazingly juicy and tender. BBQ Pork always hits, super good! Did the Pancit Bihon [$17], it was "okay," have had better. Sisig [$17] was good as well, like the "pork bits" different way of prepping the dish. Diniguan [$27] as my most favorite part of the meal. I was sooo impressed with how that one came out. Loved that dish so much. Such an innovative way of presenting the dish. It was pork chop (cut up) with diniguan sauce on top (not drenched) with shishito peppers. OMG mouthwatering. LOVE that dish. Vibes were high until we asked where the other dish was which was the Lechon Manok [$27]. Our waiter kind of gave us an attitude saying that it was coming & that it took a while to prep. Mind you we ordered everything at the same time. That wasn't even it. The chicken came out we were cutting it, and then he saw us kind of struggle a bit, so he took the chicken and started tearing it apart with his hands... That should have already been a red flag. He said his hand were clean. Then he comes back like literally 10 minutes later asking if we wanted a box. Bro, the chicken barely came out give us time to enjoy the chicken you tore apart. He asked if it was good & we said it was 'alright.' Cause it was. Wasn't impressed with that dish at all. He left us alone for a bit and then came back saying, "I feel like I'm not doing enough, do you guys need anything?" If you were bored, just say that. Whatever, he lost us at that point. We saw him smoking outside, so hopefully his hands were clean. The food was great, the service was whatever.

    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.
