The inside is not very interesting but the sevice is great, it's well lit and well arranged. In nice weather, they have a wonderful outdoor deck that I've truly enjoyed several times. Every time I go there, I go to my favorite and very interesting book and gift store a few doors down, New Renaissance. A combination of the 2 makes a wonderful destination!

As well as the mango chicken curry and the chicken was very tender and moist, cooked to perfection. It could have used more mango flavor though IMO. We also tried the boiled quail eggs, which are good but nothing very special about them. It's a nice atmosphere, I wish they had more outdoor seating for nice days but there are two small tables out front for dining. Service is very friendly and prompt. Parking around this area is always tough.

Expensive and bland. Those two words sum up our experience perfectly. My wife and I were excited to…read moretry a new spot for our date day. It seemed promising when we arrived because the space is very cute and clean, with lots of greenery. The umbrellas and piano make the space look unique and enticing. We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. We ordered the non-fried spring rolls as a starter. They were not good and I regretted my choice. They were wrapped sloppily and seemed to lack filling. It reminded me of a moist sock sliding off of a foot. The veggie filling had a nice flavor, but the damp draping roll wrap grossed me out. I wished I could just toss them in a deep fryer. We decided to share the coconut curry noodles with tofu, and the okra dish, and we both added one samosa on the side. The curry noodles were shockingly bland. I did not taste curry at all, only coconut. Not a speck of curry flavor. It was weird, because the noodles were yellow...my brain kept expecting flavor that never came. It screamed for salt, and there was none on the table. It also left a bland, chalky coating on your tongue. The tofu in the dish was not good. The pieces were cut all different sizes and it had a musty bitter flavor that I was not expecting. I couldn't even eat it. I was also surprised that the dish lacked vegetables...it was garnished with raw red onion, cilantro, and some horrible dry store-bought brand crunchy noodles. I was shocked by how much I hated that dish. The okra dish was a little better (it actually had some flavor) but it was very one-note and I would not call it good. The main flavor I got was smoked paprika, which was kinda nice but overpowering, as it tasted raw and needed to be cooked through more. The tiny potatoes were raw which was really not cool. There's not much I hate more than undercooked potatoes. The eggplant was also undercooked and spongy. The okra was ok. Even the rice was not good. It was mushy and came in a pathetically tiny portion served in a small cup that was barely half full. The samosas were probably the worst thing we had. I wouldn't even call it a samosa. It was a tiny greasy triangle of mostly dough. There was a single pea and a tiny smear of overly-salty potato filling. I was shocked at how bad they were. My wife didn't even finish hers even though it was tiny. It was that bad. Worse than the food was the stupid robot waiter. We had to push a gross (obviously smeared and dirty) button to make the robot go away after bringing our food. And we could tell that the waitress was also annoyed by it, as she had to walk it through the restaurant like it was a toddler taking its first steps. So dumb. This was the worst and most expensive lunch I have had EVER. It is rare that I try a new place and don't like anything I try. It was kind of shocking, actually. I will never be back.

Anything with soy curls... girl it's gonna make your toes curl. Tons of flavor. Insane portions. Absolutely ridiculous vegetarian options. Would 100% eat here every day if sodium and oil weren't a health hazard. Don't let the occasionally empty restaurant make you think nobody cares about this place. They do a lot of to go orders. Please eat here so we can continue to have this top notch restaurant in Portland.

I ordered from Kung POW! for delivery. Everything arrived hot and well packaged. I recently had…read moreKung Pao Tofu at another restaurant, so I wanted to try this restaurant out. Disappointed is an understatement! First, the tofu is cut into chunks that are too large. You have to give tofu a flavor, and this restaurant did not do that. The tofu barely had flavor or spice. There was barely any peanuts, chilies, and it lacked flavor, majorly! I won't be patronizing this restaurant again. Two starts for packing my food well and it barely being edible.

I got the fried chicken bowl and kinda wished I had gotten the lemongrass. They have ramen, dumplings and Bao buns too so really...something for everyone.

The woman behind the counter was very helpful with recommendations.

We took the bus here and it was close to a bus stop, and I think there's also street parking available as well. The decorations were very cute--it's a smaller restaurant, but they really made sure the ambiance was nice. I ordered some tea and a see ew, and we shared waffle fries and brussel sprouts. Each dish was flavorful and so good--my favorite was the see ew. I still think about it! Definitely a return restaurant on my next visit to Portland!

Since it was my first time, I asked the staff for a recommendation. They suggested the bibimbap and mentioned it was on the spicy side, which I was totally okay with. While their cocktails looked really tempting, I ended up getting a Mexican Coke, and I loved that they had it. The bibimbap was absolutely delicious. It had so many different flavors and textures, and somehow they all worked perfectly together. The waiter also suggested mixing everything together before taking the first bite, which I really appreciated. The ambiance was super cute, with a cozy little tiki-bar vibe inside, and they also have a few outdoor tables. The service was exceptional throughout. This is an easy 5-star review from me.

My girlfriend got the pork long noodles which was a special on the menu. Noodles were very good and the pork wasn't overcooked, and had a nice kick! Wish there were more places this good on the east coast! Only negative was the service was very slow. I'm assuming because it was lunch time they didn't have many people working, but our server was very nice. Didn't take away from my experience because I was not on a tight schedule.

It's just that they made both the best fried egg rolls and the best pad see ew I've had in a LONG time. Thai food can get kinda same-same. For more info on that, look up gastronomic diplomacy. I'm serious. The government of Thailand supported Thai people to open restaurants and popularize their food and they did a great job. But I digress. Red Onion claims to make comfort food and that is true. But it's also got an elegant elevated interior - spacious and airy -- and really friendly service that didn't shy away from my special order. Love love love this place.

Amazing Indian-Mexican fusion grub…read more We sampled a number of happy hour bites and a carnitas burrito. The bites were Taco Bombs, Empanadas, and Jalapeño Poppers. I won't get into them individually because I didn't take notes, so I don't remember the specifics, except that they were unique, and quite delicious. The burrito was big enough for two. You get choices of ingredients, so you can load them up how you like. We got carnitas, brown rice, black beans, jalapeños, and a few others along with their Tikka sauce. This isn't haute cuisine, but nobody told the flavors, which were big and full of the spices that make Indian food wonderful. They could use some signage that tells you that you have stick around to build the burrito, as well as where to order. We went right to our table after ordering, and then I had to go back to select the ingredients. No big deal. I took the pictures after we started eating, so at some point soon I'll go back and get better ones, and also improve the review. I usually prepare better.

Pizza was about an inch thick with an awful, soupy mix of toppings. The green stuff isn't basil, tastes saag-related. Naan: -2/10, soft and uncooked. Tasted like gas. Tacos: 0/10, confusing and horrible. Bad flavors, bad textures, no synergies between ingredients. Inexplicable presence of raw carrot. Gulab Jamun: 0/10, dry, predominant flavor was the can the syrup came in. Tandoor Box: 3/10, paneer was presentable, black beans ice cold, rice was fine, salsa was bad and unnecessary. Quesadilla: 6/10, again, inexplicable raw carrots. Hard to screw up black beans and cheese though. Avoid.
