Ami K-M: They came make anything non alcoholic here. The Hawaiian bread and taro chips are to die for. Long lines so come early or at an off time.
Ingrid Borland: I love this place! It feels like you are transported to Hawaii! The novel of drinks were fun! You can collect them all and they have a fun thing to check off if you do! It was packed so plan ahead!
Lee R: The grilled Hawaiian bread with guava jam is absolutely to die for. Snack or dessert or just have it twice for both.

Vietnamese Restaurant · 22 tips and reviews
Andrea B (cyberetto): Try the Bánh Xèo, crispy fine crepe, stuffed with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, rolling it up in fresh lettuce leaves with fresh mint. Read more.
GNTLMN: All their other Vietnamese dishes are very authentic as well. If you don't want to make the trek out there, they have a more upscale restaurant called Silk in the Pearl.
Alexandra Lane: Number 51 is the best, but definitely add an appetizer of salad rolls. They are so delicious with the peanut sauce!

H. Colbert (@hrsch): I can't believe I just got dinner for less than $6. Lots of banh mi options, beyond the usual pork. And the iced tea is served in boba cups, which is fun for a non-Boba lover like myself.
Jeremy H: I ate here for lunch and dinner... Possibly lunch tomorrow too. Yum!
Annie Medici: Favorite place for banh mi. Inexpensive and good quality. I always get the coconut boba with coffee jello cubes.

Princess Bubblecheeks: Try their rainbow jellys or the Pineapple Milk Tea with Pineapple Jelly if you want to try something different! I like the Blueberry and Pineapple Milk teas best!!
Grant Kruger: Nice back room for group gatherings.
gmeinerray: On a cold rainy day, get the hot pumpkin spice coconut milk tea with bubbles. Then sit by the window and admire the rain and active world on Hawthorne.

Chinese Restaurant · 19 tips and reviews
FRAN SIRIPHAN: spicy broth, extra order of handmade dumplings, shrimp balls, lamb and baby cuttlefish. do it now.
Shrub: The food & service are wonderful. I love this place.
Dan Clarizio: Get the dumplings, they are a great value! Also, if you're not sure of what to get soup-wise, the special for two makes it an easy choice and you get a lot with it
Chris DeBarr: Elegant space, innovative drinks, and modern interpretations of Vietnamese cuisine. More hit than miss, more legit than most !
Sereita Cobbs: Bit too much "Brooklyn" attitude from the staff, but the food is quite good. Go between 4p - 7p and enjoy the Happy Hour menu. $2 plates. Try a bunch if things, but don't miss the shrimp skewers.
Andrea Ihara: Great stop for vegetarians. Veggie pho with veggie broth - fresh rolls with tofu. Would have preferred more veg - less noodle - but a solid pick for inexpensive quick meal downtown

Dim Sum Restaurant · 18 tips and reviews
Mehan Jayasuriya: this is the only dim sum joint i've found in portland that consistently approaches the quality of good NYC/SF/LA dim sum. i'm also obsessed with their crab e-fu noodles and snow pea shoots with garlic
Eater: This dim sum and seafood house is the cheapest ticket to Hong Kong. They’ve got classic and hard-to-find Chinese seafood preparations that usually involve batter and hot oil. [Eater 38 Member]
Diana Lien: Dimsum any day of the week. Weekends are busy, but you're usually seated quickly. Great selection!
