I'm not much one for sandwiches, but a friend recommended this shop to me. One a day my stomach…read morewent on crazy growling mode, I paid Lottie a visit. Entering the shop, you will be greeted by loud music. Be ready for that. You will have the option to dine outside, if the weather provides it and the seats are empty. The hosts are wonderful and very accepting with a positive attitude. Smiles and all. I ordered the Jim because it was the only sandwich I could eat. The majority of the sandwiches contain meat, so I would not recommend this for vegans or pescatarians. Jim was delicious and I consumed both halves of Jim flawlessly. Either hunger overruled me, or the sandwich was that satisfying. I do recommend the shop, but with limited options for non-meat eaters, I truthfully would rate Lottie and Zulas, 4.5. Yet, I don't believe the spot was "good."

My tastes are likely just different as the reviews for this place speak for themselves. We had the…read moreJimmy (as a salad). It was too smokier than I imagined but tasty. We also had the Vinny which was fine, a bit spicier than I thought it would be, but I'm a wimp. The service was fine, not overly friendly but adequate. The food is 4 stars, the service 3 starts, but the real bummer was all the plastic. Plastic container, plastic cups and we were eating in. They asked if it was to go and we said no, but everything came in plastic anyway. The ambiance is quintessential Portland, right up until they bring all your food in plastic with plastic silverware to boot.

I headed out to Cafe Yumm for dinner in PDX after being recommended to go by a couple of locals…read morenumerous times. The ordering system seemed easy enough, I picked my bowl and chose a large WITH Yumm sauce and added a teriyaki stick and everything was ready in a jiff! And...the bowl was surprisingly small, smaller than I had imagined and the combo itself was ok, not great. On the other hand, the chicken teriyaki stick was great and boosted the overall protein level of the meal as there was again, less protein than I had expected in the large bowl.

I am not sure I enjoyed the yummi sauce. Next time I will probably ask for less or on the side. Since I was at home, I added my own Trader Joe's Sriracha and it was pretty good. The chicken was cooked well and not dry. Overall, I enjoyed it and would order it again for sure.

We had a great lunch here and it wasn't too crowded on a Saturday. They have both indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating, with a lovely patio area with colorful murals. My friend got their house made lime soda. I tasted it and it was divine. Had I known it was not too sweet, I would have ordered it. My hot tea was....hot tea. For lunch, we split the Deviled "chicken," which was so good we couldn't stop eating it. We also had the fried yellow rice, which was very tasty. I ordered a side of the mango chutney, which was too spicy. I've never been served a really spicy chutney, but this place has it. We also got a side of the Kurukkan roti, which is a gluten free bread. This was unique and very flavorful. Overall, a great casual dining space, please note all the food is vegan. We will go again.

All vegan Sri Lankan food? This is, by far, my favorite place to eat in Portland…read more I grew up in a Sri Lankan household and none of the food my parents made was half as flavorful as this and not to mention it's all vegan. I'm a big fan of the "beef" rolls and all of the roti options but every single curry is to die for (and bonus: no one had to die for it to be made ). It's also a worker owned co-op with amazing ethical standards and inclusivity; they pay their employees a living wage without having exorbitant prices and don't even accept tips. I can't recommend this place higher. If you haven't been here, you have to try it!

I have been wanting to check this place out for over a year or two? Anyhow, I ordered the Park…read moreKitchen, their Steak with Blue Cheese Aioli, Smoked Ham breakfast sandwich, a side of Pesto (seasonal) Pasta. They were all very good! However, the Park Kitchen sandwich I had a strong garlic-like after taste. Even though it was good, at $17 I think will not get it again. The pasta was good deal for only $3! The Smoked Ham breakfast sandwich, with egg, was the star of the show! The Guyere cheese was perfect with the smoked ham and the star of it all, was the house made bread that it came in! I will definitely be back for this one and a side of Pasta!

Have been traveling to Portland for work and have been there five times now in the past few months…read more Every time, we go to Bistro Elysium either once or twice a week for lunch, so that shows you how much we like it. I normally get the Black​ Oil Tonkotsu Ramen, which is awesome, really good. I also tried the Pad Thai once, which was good, not great. A bit too much sauce for me. And then one other time, I got the fried rice with a soy sauce egg in it and that was really good. But, if you're looking for a good ramen, the black oil tonkotsu is a good one to get. Really good service, too. They get the food out quick and are friendly and helpful.

Very good Thai food - I had the Pad See Ew with chicken ($16) - it came out hot and fresh and…read moredelicious. The only drawback is the ambience, which is really not their fault. They keep the door locked and you have to knock for access. We worked out rapidly this was because of the overwhelming number of homeless who want to come in and use their restrooms. Portland unfortunately has a real problem with these folks. I don't think I'd be around after dark but I'm staying in the hotel next door. Fortunately it's summer so it's light out in the evening.

Sorry but yuck. Had a steak burrito. No Pico. Add Sour cream. Yes to salsa. There was no hot sauce…read morein my bad and the sour cream wasn't in my burrito. I can live with that. The major problem was that it was the greasiest burrito I've ever had. It bled through the wrapper, the bottom of the bag, the 5 napkins I had on the bottom, my hand, and eventually my shirt. I could even handle the greasy burrito if it had flavor. But there was little to none. Would up tossing it. Not trying that again. Gave it 2 for service. Super nice people and fast.

The orange shrub and the Ancho chili liqueur really makes the drink hop! The margarita pizza was perfectly made. Warning, it's a thin New York slice type pizza. The kale Caesar was super tasty.

The Mac and Cheese wasn't for me as all the other dishes were so good, I was a little disappointed. But my meal-mate enjoyed it.
