World Foods doesn't carry the ginormous container of pitted Kalama olives that the mothership Barbur Whole Foods does.

Certainly not at a conventional grocery store. They also sell all kinds of other international groceries like giant jars if dolmas, lavash, the best chocolate bars. I could go on and on. Walking the aisles makes me feel like I'm in a different country and it's fun. There's not much in the way of parking. Most people in the Pearl probably walk there. I know I do. I do know that if you want a grocery adventure check out World Foods. 2026 - Review # 6

The poached eggs were perfectly cooked, the toasted brioche was light and buttery, and the sautéed vegetables added wonderful flavor and freshness. The apple-balsamic crème sauce was unique and delicious, bringing just the right balance of sweetness and tang, while the toasted almonds added a satisfying crunch. The oven-roasted potatoes were crispy, flavorful, and the perfect side. Every bite was thoughtfully prepared, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate. The overall experience has never been anything less than fantastic. Photos to follow (hopefully, if I can find them! HA!) Enjoy OP next time you're in PDX!

On this visit, Kevin was taking chill care of the atrium, delivering BRIGHT, BEEFY, FRESH Hierloom Tomatoes with Burrata & crisp Focaccia breadcrumb that is SO RICH - no saucisson required! HOWEVER... if you decide to dabble, the infamous CHARCUTERIE ART should include the Green Peppercorn Paté - everything beloved about a mild sausage, more tender, seasoned to herbal perfection with split peppercorns & a sprinkle of flake salt - the meat medley is heavenly with a toasted crostini + Triple Cream Brie, cranberry/raisin chutney on top. Amen!

After rummaging…read morethrough my bookmarks on Yelp, my friend and I decided on Silk Road in the Pearl District, and it did not disappoint. The vibe is very modern and swanky. We didn't have a reservation, so we had the choice to sit at the bar or on these cool couches, and of course we chose the couches. The food here is tapas style. We ordered the classic General Tso's, and at the recommendation of the host, we also got the salt and pepper calamari and the honey walnut shrimp. BAYBAAAY, everything was delicious, especially the shrimp. With some rice and chili oil, easily the best meal I had in Portland. My friend and I were debating going back for a second meal, and we should've gone back for a second meal during our trip. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this was some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. It should also be noted that they make a mean cocktail. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Portland.

Super crispy, well seasoned, and nice big pieces. Soooo good. The silk dumplings had a good amount of meat and a strong ginger flavor, but I thought they could've used a little more seasoning and had a bit too much wrapper. It seems like they made these pretty fresh, as my friend noticed it tasted different than their last visit. The chow wow noodles were super bouncy with the perfect slight kick of spice. I wish they had a little more smokiness, and the meat was slightly chewy, but still really flavorful. For drinks, I tried the Senate Sour and my friend had the Whiskey Sour. Both were smooth, well balanced, and not overly sweet. Definitely save room for the ice cream! The fried dough was incredibly light and crisp with creamy ice cream, whipped cream, and a tart strawberry sauce with chocolate drizzle. It basically reminded me of a deep-fried uncrustable with ice cream in the best way. I'll be back to try other menu items

I'd walked by this indoor food cart pod for years before someone told me about it, and after I…read morefinally ventured in to check the place out, I was completely sold! There's a decent variety of about a dozen different businesses here, from donuts, to ramen to Indian, Thai, and more, plus a bar at the center. There's also always a line for just about everything, particularly the booze, so come prepared and patient. Seating can be a bit of a musical chairs-esque scramble as well, but that only further attests to the quality and popularity of this place. Don't overlook it as I did...pop in and see for yourself! The noodles at Matsunoki Ramen in particular are not to be missed!

The location is not ideal in terms of access and some of the typical challenges you would expect in downtown Portland. Otherwise, it's a fun experience for an occasional visit and the food options are plentiful. There are about eight food concepts in total on the perimeter of the building with a main bar in the center. I went with a rice bowl from one spot and had a few of the mini donuts from the other location for dessert. I also saw a Thai food concept, a smoothie bar and a ramen spot. There are a lot of different seating options available, but none of them are particularly comfortable. When I went for dinner, the place was only about half full and the trash area was a little bit unkempt. Parking is available on the street or in adjacent lots but everything is paid during typical daytime hours from about 8 AM until about 7 PM. The bathrooms do require an access code but are available on site. Personally, I feel like this place had a bit more clout when it first opened before the pandemic. But, it still has some relevance and it's a great spot for a casual meal just because of the variety of options that are available. If you come with a group, everyone can try what they like. Overall, a good showcase of some under the radar food establishments that conglomerate in a fun shared space. Check it out!

Recently I bought some chocolate and it was nearly expired, had bloom, and did not have a good texture.

Thing is it's hard for not to love the store because it has three of my favorite things: 1. chocolate: shelves and shelves of unique artisan chocolates made with skill and care from all over the world. 2. And salt -- am a VERY big fan of picking up local salts whenever one is traveling -- including actual blocks and blocks of Himalayan salt stacked. Not imitation but the real stuff. They even have fresh popcorn for you to taste the truffle salt with. 3. Lastly they have fresh cut flowers. It's like a florist and you can create your own bouquets. Beautiful specimens with structure and freshness. I have to say they also have bottles and bottles of bitters -- crafted bitters. King Floyd chief among them. The staff person was super helpful. She was kind and educational about many things.
