    Spicy Chicken Teriyaki

    Not only was the food great, but the service was on point! The plate I ordered was so big I had 1/2 for lunch on a Monday and the rest the next day

    I'm sitting here at Sub King just gorging myself. I ordered a customized Chicken Philly and ohh man it's amazing. The chicken melts in your mouth but the best part of the sandwich is the bread they use, fresh and gourmet. Everything is delicious and well worth a try and I promise you'll have no regrets plus you'll be supporting an awesome family business. Cheers!!

    I went here for lunch after a coworker recommended them to me. I ended up getting a whole veggie sub on wheat. It was pretty tasty, and I liked the addition of cream cheese instead of the usual cheddar or Swiss. They were nice enough to add bell peppers since they ran out of cucumbers. Also, it should be noted that the sandwich was huge. I could've just gotten a half and still would've been perfectly satisfied. For $6 something for the whole sub, it's a pretty awesome deal. I know there's also a Subway nearby, but I'd rather pay the extra dollar and some cents for a better sandwich. Didn't hurt that the people that run this place were super nice! Another place added to my work lunch spots!

    This is a familiar type of place for Portland - not inexpensive, but great food. It's small,…read moreshareable plates. A friend brought me here and we split 8 plates and each had a dessert. One drink and the "Employee Health" charge of an additional 5% made the bill $163.80 before tip. Okay, so that's the not inexpensive part. As for the food, there were several great dishes. I was not wild about the salad we got, The Crunchmaster Crisp, the my friend said a different one she had previously was really good. We got the Crusty Avocado - seeds coat the outside and inside the avocado is filled with Ahi tuna. That was a good dish. We also had Garden Peas which were pretty good. The trout was excellent, the Fried Chicken was unique, and quite good. We got a couple of the skewers (they're small!), the pork belly and the steak and both were great. I could have ordered several and made a meal out of those! The Milk Chocolate dessert was good, but I wasn't a big fan of the "baby popcorn". The Whip-a-licious was well liked by my friend. It was better than I thought it would be because I'm not a big passion fruit fan. Our service was excellent. All together, I definitely recommend for the food, atmosphere, and service. Just be prepared for an expensive night out!

    Please check your receipt carefully…read more I noticed a 5% "Employee Health Fee" added to my bill. When I called the restaurant, they explained that the fee is disclosed on the menu. However, many customers may not read every line of fine print on the menu and may be surprised to see an additional charge added to the bill. In my opinion, employee health-related expenses should be covered by the business rather than passed directly to customers through an extra fee. I would have preferred the menu prices to reflect the actual cost upfront rather than having a separate surcharge added at checkout. Just sharing this so future customers can review their receipts carefully and be aware of the additional fee.

    My first time dining at Besaws and I'm so glad we went!…read more I'll start with the one challenge -- parking. The location in NW is fairly easy to get to, but as with most of that area, parking can take a hot minute. Definitely give yourself extra time if you have reservations. Now for the good stuff... oh my gosh, the FOOD. Incredible. The menu is packed with amazing options, and everything we tried was delicious. We ordered the Dungeness crab Benedict -- such a healthy portion of fresh crab with bright, fresh flavors. And the crispy potatoes on the side? OMG. I could eat an entire bowl of those by myself. We also shared the avocado toast (fresh and flavorful), the chicken and waffles (come hungry -- this one is a beast in the best way), and the chilaquiles -- savory, perfectly sauced, and oh-so-delicious. They seated us quickly for our reservation, and the service was excellent. Mohammad gave great suggestions and helpful insights into their favorites on the menu, which made the experience even better. I can't wait to go back and share these delicious flavors with more friends and family!

We finally flagged our waiter down and he took our order. The menu stated that the omelettes were all made with 4 eggs and comes with cottage potatoes, so we decided to split the meat lovers omelette and ordered a biscuit aswell. when our food arrived, the omelette was very small (smaller than any omelette I've seen, so splitting it gave us maybe 2-3 mouthfuls each) the potatoes were almost hard, like they were made up hours ago and have been sitting warming until serverd. inside the omelette, the meat was dry and crumbly, again, like it was reheated not freshly cooked. with a sprinkle of cheese on top. The biscuit was cut in half and looked grilled. it was black on the bottom and hard. This was literally the worst breakfast i've had. One other person in our party ordered the crab eggs benedict, they said it was good, but hardly any crab on it for $29.00 potatoes were the same as ours. The other person in our party orderd the Shakshuka and loved it. So to sum this up, why send out food that is not up to par, things should be made to order, it just felt like everything was just reheated food. so disappointing considering three mains, one coffee and one drink came to almost $95.00 and most of it was not good.

We were seated immediately, but waited a short while for our order to be taken. They seemed quite busy. The dessert menu takes up a whole page. You can see many items in the front case when you walk in. There were at least 10 gluten free options, all clearly marked on the menu. All looked delicious and the decision was difficult for once. My dad had the mango black tea panna cotta and I went for the raspberry gateau. The panna cotta had great flavor. Subtle on the tea, strong with the mango. A generous portion but light enough that it could be finished. The raspberry gateau was rich and chocolatey. The raspberries were a necessity to add dimension to the dish. I recommend this location for celebrations, evenings out, or for a sweet treat just because. Everything is clean and it feels fancy and special without being overly exclusive.

Luckily, our group of five didn't have to wait too long before getting seated. We all ordered different desserts so we could try a variety of things. The crème brûlée was really good, super creamy and definitely one of my favorites. The boccone dolce was a meringue based dessert, which unfortunately wasn't really my thing. The Passion dessert was yummy with a nice sour tang to it. We also tried the triple chocolate cake, which was very rich, dark, and sweet. If you're a huge chocolate lover, this might be the perfect dessert for you. We ordered an affogato as well, and their vanilla ice cream was so good! One thing I didn't get to try was the raspberry matcha cloud, but it looked really good and I think my friend enjoyed it. Overall, I can definitely see why this place is so well known and popular. I'm not sure if it's somewhere I would personally go out of my way to come back to, but it was still a fun experience and worth trying at least once.

I liked it so much that I came here again with friends a very short time after my first visit (and we saw a much larger jazz band). Jo Bar is physically attached to Papa Haydn, and is under the same ownership. Despite this, Jo Bar has its own food menu, but both share the same dessert menu. This means that you can get any of Papa Haydn's legendary desserts here. I made a reservation ahead of time, and was seated at the best table in the house for seeing the bands perform. The space is small, so some of the band will invariably be tucked in the area next to the entrance door, so be aware of this. It wasn't a huge detriment, but can be depending on where you're specifically seated. The only negative is that finding parking is a real chore. There is street parking, but most streets are very full in the evenings. I wound up parking in a parking garage several blocks away. I'm really looking forward to my next visit. Jo Bar is a GREAT place to enjoy great live music, GREAT food, GREAT service, and truly spectacular dessert.

While they weren't as crispy as I would've wanted - I would say while some parts were, most of it was on the softer side - I did think that they were seasoned excellently. They also paired quite well with the mayo-based sauces we received. Moving onto the burger, I really enjoyed this. When I've had tofu on a burger in the past - it's usually been in smaller pieces - so getting such a massive piece that sticks out on either end of the burger was really nice. In addition, the breading was good - while not super-present. I quite liked the fact that it was very lightly breaded - meaning the huge patty was like 95% tofu - leaving the tofu to stand on its own as the majority of the bite. The buns were alright - I'm not big into vegan buns - but I didn't mind these The mustard sauce was also pretty good I will say, although I did order the Mr. Onion burger so I should've known what I was getting myself into, but there were just way too many onions on this burger. It was to the point where they absolutely dominated the taste of my first bite. I had to remove a lot of them from the bottom of the burger to actually make this edible. For the price, it is a bit expensive - but it's also quite filling so I didn't mind it. I also have to mention - because my burger was late, as a gift they brought out a full set of pastries/cookies in a box. This was incredibly surprising and something I've never seen another restaurant do. Major props for that
