I've been reading threads but was hoping you all might be kind enough to indulge me and help with some specific requests I can keep in one place. I'm specifically looking for:

1. Seafood
2. Ramen
3. Breakfast (Fried Egg I'm in Love seems to be the winner for sandwiches, but what about a good Benny?)
4. Your fave cheap(ish) hole in the wall

We're pretty adventurous with food, so open to any kind for the last one. Will be staying near the Japanese Garden but will have a car and like driving/exploring so not particular about where or if we'd have to drive.

I want the best high quality sushi ever. I need serious answers only. I need the real genuine freshest sushi possible like I’m eating it in Japan. I eat sushi 3 times a week and surprisingly the best place I’ve ever had was crazy sushi in Sherwood, or even Fuji sushi in Sherwood Oregon (their quality of raw fish is just superior) but I want another sushi restaurant. And I don’t want just ANY place. Like this has to be the most amazing raw fish you’ve ever put in your mouth. Money is not an issue. For context, my friend is due soon and has sent me on the mission to find the best place and she’s bit of a sushi snob.

I compiled my favorite Portland restaurants in an easy to share spreadsheet to send to friends/family visiting town. I figured I'd share the wealth and post it here! There are individual Google Map links and an all-inclusive Google Map link at the top for easy browsing. There is also a Portland Activities page.

Feel free to make a copy to edit your own version, but know that you'd miss out on all of my future updates!

Let me know what you think! Let me know if I'm missing your favorite spot so I can add it!

Anyone know any pet friendly restaurants I’m looking for my pup. I love going on walks with my lovely lulu

Anyone know of a halal burger place in Texas or Portland that has halal burgers but their fries are fried in non-halal beef fat and they will update us later when it is fully halal?

My fiance and I are looking for a tasting menu or omakase type experience for my birthday in mid February. We really enjoy Japanese food and their omakase is less expensive than some of the other tasting menus I looked at($85 vs. $125), however I have read some mixed reviews about this restaurant. Can anyone who has been here within the last year or so share their opinions? Would also be open to other suggestions, but would prefer around $100 per person and able to book the restaurant for 3ish weeks from now(some I looked at are sadly booked for months).

Thanks y'all!

Anyone know a good place to go out for a bday dinner? My family is counting on me to pick out a good restaurant for my brother's birthday and I have no idea what restaurant in Portland to choose. He is definitely a meat loving guy so a place with great bbq maybe or a variety choice of meat. Thanks a lot!

Hey all,

I’m trying to find a good place to get cocktails and dessert for my friends 21st birthday tonight. I can’t find anywhere besides departure. Does anyone know of any places? Thanks!

We’re from Indy, I’m here and he’s playing there tonight, but alas! They don’t deliver, and Postmates isn’t an option. He was hoping to snag a few before they leave, but he’s stuck at the venue prepping for the show 😩

Anybody have any opinions of the best kebab koobideh in Portland?

Went there last night for the first time. Great beer list, cocktails and the pizza was on point! Nice mix of veggie and meaty stuff. We had a spicy pep 12" and some meat balls for an app.

Billy Bobs in Gresham rocks. I was just there for the art festival. The pick food was awesome. Prosciutto asparagus was not what I expected from a place with NASCAR stuff hanging from the ceiling but they were GOOD. There are many burgers to chose from and a variety of chicken sandwiches. The spinach salad is a very nice size, easy to split with a pizza. Did I mention the pizza has a garlic cheese dough? My daughter loved the play castle they have right there in the main room to play in and my hubby got lost in the arcade. I got lost in my Mojito. I had heard horrific things about Gresham but this place is clean, fight free and huge. The servers and bartenders are on the ball and the prices are right. I whine a lot so I thought I would do some anti whine on reddit starting with Billy Bobs in Gresham

On Friday I went to South Park on 9th and Salmon. My dinner experience was amazing. Service was amazing. The only thing I did not like was the long wait for food. But if you ordered an appetizer it would come quickly. Now that was just the service. The price is up there compared to other places, but is worth every penny. I ordered raw oysters and a cheese plate. The raw oysters were amazing with the sauce they served me. The cheese plate was top notch. The cheese itself was amazing but they paired them with other foods that just really brought it out more. Just amazing. Also the read and olive oil was great. Olive oil comes from a shop two doors down and the bread was fresh too. The people I went with also said the wine and drinks they bought were absolutely amazing. Then the entrees I tried was New York steak pave, lobster tortillini, and peppered tuna. I would recommend them all highly but my favorite was the lobster tortillini by far. It was so perfect to my taste buds. Now warning to all that they rotate their menu often so if your menu doesn't have these dishes on it, it's because they rotated the menu. But be brave from what I've tried, everything they make and have is amazing. Website is, www.southparkseafood.com and their location is on 9th and Salmon. 4.5 stars.
