    By the front door.

    My kid lives near this tiny take-out restaurant and gets dinner here every 1-2 weeks. She and her beau say the food is great and reasonably priced and the portions are huge. So we decided to get a few dishes tonight as no-one wants to cook the day before Thanksgiving (right??!). I went with her to pick up the meals. The place is small but really quirky and cute, with lots of plants and greenery. (I was surprised to read that someone complained about the plants in their review. Really? Who doesn't like plants?). And yes, the place felt cluttered, with the plants and the desk of condiments and chairs to sit on as you wait for your meals to be prepared. The place won't win any medals in Architectural Digest. But I thought it was quirky, and cute, and it is quintessentially Portland. (And when I was there, there was absolutely no odors in the place, as another reviewer wrote. If the place smelled bad, there's no WAY ON EARTH my kid or I would ever patronize the place!). And the food was great. We got my kid and her boyfriends' usual teriyaki beef and we also got orange chicken (both these meals came with rice), and also my kid's favorite yakisoba noodles (omg they are so good. I have no idea what seasoning they use, but these noodles are reddish in color and taste amazingly good). The portions are humongous and easily enough for 2-3 meals. We like supporting local businesses. And this one is great!

    Teriyaki Chicken & gyoza combo

    This is a tremendous hidden gem in St. John's. When you're looking for a good lunch shop, there are typically three things you're after: quick service, low prices, and good portion size. This spot has all three boxes checked. My general go to is the teriyaki chicken and gyoza combo, which is only $7.99, and comes with a heap of rice and a dressed salad. I can generally stretch this to a second lunch, which puts me at about $4 a lunch. You genuinely can't beat that. The folks here are nice, speedy, and there's always a good number of people at lunch time, so you know you're going where the locals go. If you're looking for a tasty teriyaki lunch, give this spot a try.

    It doesn't look it, but this is the best place to get teriyaki chicken around here, delicious food every time and you get quite a bit for the price.

    New Menu

    Good food, new menu, for take-out. Big portions, reasonable prices and the people are a very nice family. Love the bibimbap and tofu dishes for vegetarians! Love all the plants too.

    Spicy Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken dinners with gyoza and egg rolls. Yum!
    Caroline F.

    Not gonna lie - we were hesitant to try this place because of some of the reviews. Finally decided to just give it a whirl - and it was great! We called and pre-ordered for pick up. It was ready really quickly. We had spicy chicken with gyoza and teriyaki chicken with egg rolls. $22 out the door and the huge portions lasted two of us for three meals each! Everything tastes great - the chicken, sides, rice and green salad with lovely dressing... We were very pleased and will be back!

    Chicken fried rice
    Tricia S.

    Hmm, yelp did me wrong on this stop. I was looking for some decent teriyaki nearby and happened to be in North Portland. Checked out a few places on Yelp and decided here because of the thumbs up for yakisoba. Chicken yakisoba and chicken fried rice was what I ordered - both were not to my liking. The rice was drenched in oil ... so much so that they had to use 2 trays because oil had spilled everywhere. Very little flavor and it was a greasy mess! The yakisoba was not the noodle type I like and looked different than the pictures I saw. They use a thicker noodle that was not appetizing. The sauce was sweet - probably teriyaki sauce - and I regretting my choice as soon as I opened the to go container. I won't be back .. they stockpile all kinds of trash outside their business which makes the area look unkept.

Two bibimbaps to go: one was tofu and the other was spicy pork. Spicy pork is not spicy but looks like it is. Good taste, so it's marinated well and the meat isn't tough to chew, like some other places. I loved the spicy pork bibimbap though. All fresh ingredients! They give a lot of vegetables, which is so nice, because other places are very sparing with their ingredients. I'm usually left with so much rice at the end. However, this place did a good job giving the right amount of ingredients. They also gave a small cup of miso soup - thank you! Would get this again! My husband enjoyed his tofu version. If you're someone who wants spice, add some of the red sauce they give you in a cup. I was very happy the spicy pork wasn't spicy, but I liked being able to control any spice with the red sauce.

It's right next door to Fried Egg I'm In Love. I ordered a more basic gimbap and the bulgogi. If you're gluten free, make sure to say no burdock root as there is gluten in that. I definitely preferred the bulgogi. Due to too many food allergies, my choices were limited, but I loved the bulgogi and can't wait to go back. I went with a friend who got some shrimp tempura and another, and she said that they're both really good. We both craved this for another week or two after having it

Location: This bar is on the first floor of the Hyatt House Portland / Downtown. Ambiance: Pretty quiet and chill. There weren't a lot of people there so it was really easy to get a drink. Drink options: I really loved how they circle around different local beer on tap. They also have a few bottled beer too. They have a cast amount of liquor too. Surprisingly, they had a new bottle of Hennessy when we finished the first (during our stay). Usually a lot of bars in hotels don't have it, so that was a major plus. Bartenders: We met three while we were there. All of them super kind, friendly, and informative of the surrounding area. They gave us lots of tips on what to see, eat, and drink. They were really down to earth people. Pricing: I thought it to be fairly reasonable for a hotel, however I might just be jaded from Bay Area pricing (yikes). What I loved about this bar is that we were able to just chat with the bartender. I didn't feel like I had to go back to my room with my drink (which is usually the case). I was able to talk to a few other people sitting at the bar too. Of course all from out of town, but still nice talking to other friendly strangers. They do serve food at this place, but I didn't really get a chance to try it it since there was soooo many other food joints in the area.

We watched two tables leave without ordering. We waited until our food arrived to receive a drip coffee and a hot tea. (And when it did arrive the coffee was a cold cup of machine rinse. I really wanted what many have posted as the Hawaiian Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 spam, 2 Portuguese sausage, white rice. But it wasn't on the menu. Our server accommodated my request (thanks to the pictures from Yelpers). But when it arrived it was 3 eggs, 2 spam and rice. Overall the menu is confused. Is it a Hawaiian theme or not. Scant options is rice. Lots of potatoes. Even the condiments were confused; no soy or siracha on the table but ketchup and Tapatio. The general lack of caring by the management is what sticks with me. The sad bowl of sugar packets, jam packets, creamers and stir sticks all thrown together on the table like a mistake. But when I asked for honey or soy our server had to go to the kitchen and get side dishes of these. C'mon y'all. Pay attention to the details. Your customer sure are.

And I kept that promise to myself. When we arrived, we were fortunate enough to find a table even though the place was packed. The seating isn't the most comfortable, especially for a format like this where you're likely to have multiple plates and dishes covering the table. Navigating around the table and squeezing in and out was a bit challenging, but thankfully we managed without spilling anything.The food, however, more than made up for it. We tried several different dishes and loved every single one. The dry-rubbed lamb was fantastic, and the tteokbokki was equally delicious. Service was good, and the food came out fairly quickly. For drinks, we tried the chamisul, which paired nicely with the meal. Another major plus is that they're open fairly late. There are always those nights after bar hopping when you're suddenly looking for somewhere serving good food well into the night, and this definitely feels like a place I'll be adding to my go-to list from now on.
