The recipe is the owner's brother's recipe, hence "My Brother's Crawfish" 😭🥰 I recommend a seafood boil. Add your favorite seafoods and always always get the medium garlic butter broth with a French roll on the side!! Always!

I'm getting hungry just talking about this place, order the spicy Korean grilled chicken it's addictive. And they don't skimp on the portions ever!

This place is cute, clean and the food is satisfying. I was never a ramen girl but they have converted me! I recommend the spicy ramen.

This is the only pho spot to go to in Portland. They never miss. The broth is always on point in the customer service is amazing. Puts all the other pho spots to shame.

If you want authentic Vietnamese food in a bowl this is the spot you go. No more gate keeping HA VL they only serve certain dishes on certain days and Sunday is my favorite Mi Quang. A turmeric noodle soup to die for!!

A food truck haven! The cool thing is the building is an old bank that was preserved, it was frequently robbed. That's why it's called the heist. But this place is also home to several of my favorite food carts.

For real authentic Hawaiian food this is the spot! Make sure to grab the laulau while they're in stock.

Everything here is pretty flavorful. I love how much variety their menu has, and unique dishes you can't find at other Vietnamese restaurants.

Small, clean, shallow, and fun for the entire family. There are bathrooms picnic tables but bring your own grill. I spent the Fourth of July here once from 11am to 10pm and it was the best fourth we ever had.

Amazing place to take the kids, from the splash pad to the tennis courts and basketball courts. There's so much to do, and they have free concerts in the park with food vendors every summer!

Thursdays for R&B nights. And the food is the hidden gem.
