Crispy Gai

If you go to one place in Portland PLEASE GO HERE. Holy crap this is officially one of my favorite restaurants of ALL TIME. Everything I ate was good. My favorites are: Waterfall Salad with Crispy Mushroom, Kaprow Gai, Gange Pet Wings, one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had and the fries and the ranch were all unique. The Fruity pebble ice cream sandwich with lemongrass ice cream was INSANE as well.

Lunch at the sidewalk bar on one of the last warm, sunny days of fall was near perfection. The scallop crudo was rich and sweet, the chicken wings were crispy, flavorful perfection, and the waterfall salad was a fried mushroom extravaganza, offset by fresh herbs and a complex, well-balanced sauce. Oh, and the lemongrass mocktail made me wonder what other treats the bartender can whip up! What a great Portland spot.

BEST fried chicken I’ve ever had. All the sauces accompanying it were good, especially the ranch. Papaya salad was very mild. All the food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. Cocktails looked delicious too!

Wow, what another great new to me, establishment serving up amazing Korean, Asian cuisine. Simple cocktails led to the best fried rice I’ve ever had. Dotted with Chinese sausage and what must have been rice powder or flour that gave it an incredible Unami effect. The chicken sandwich was over the top and I would highly recommend not leaving here without trying it. This was the best lunch we had on our two day Portland excursion

First off, our hostess and waitress were straight up like the nicest people. They were also super transparent about allergies / sensitivities. Thanks for being such champs! Our table ordered lots of dishes - as they're mostly app sized - and we were STUFFED by the end! Everything was phenomenal. We had a hard time choosing a fav, but although their specialty is fried chicken, we all agreed this was personally the weakest of the bunch - but this is on a scale of 'everything was amazing so what was the least amazing'. We all loooved the pork belly and pad see ew, among other things. We also loved all the sauces (especially the spiciest one, which wasn't that hot!) Everything came out SUPER fast too, even tho they were at capacity and we had waited an hour + to get in. I loved the fruity pe
