An absolutely delightful experience!! A group of 4 was perfect to share 7-8 different options! The fried oysters are divine, the crudo was a table favorite, loved the chicken, and the Steak frites was the stuff of dreams. 10000/10 Don’t miss out on dessert!!

A Portland Gem! Incredible Asian-Inspired American Cuisine & Flawless Service I found another absolute gem in Portland! If you’re looking for American comfort food elevated with creative Asian elements, this is the place. Every dish felt innovative yet familiar and comforting. It was truly one of the most satisfying dinners I’ve had in a long time. ✨ The Standouts • The Madeleines: Do not skip these! Think of them as a cloud-like, ultra-soft version of jalapeño cornbread. • Taro Puff: It reminds me of a classic dim sum taro puff but much creamier. The sauce is a brilliant balance of spicy and tart—it really wakes up your palate. • Big Bean Panzanella (My Absolute Favorite!): This was the star of the show. The texture of the semi-dried tomatoes, the nuttiness of the beans, and the way the crispy sourdough soaks up the dressing... pure perfection. The salty pop of feta cheese makes every bite a "perfect bite." • Khao Soi Pasta: A must-try reinterpretation. The crispy chicken skin adds amazing texture, and the Thai curry-infused pasta topped with fresh cilantro and Thai basil is incredibly fragrant and refreshing. • Sorbet: The perfect palate cleanser to end the night on a clean, bright note. 🍺 Drinks & Pairing The Taiwanese Beer was surprisingly refreshing! Its crisp profile paired beautifully with every single dish on the table. 💬 Service & Vibe The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between warm and modern. Beyond the food, the service was impeccable. Our server was genuinely kind and clearly proud of the menu—his recommendations were spot on. Meeting the chef was also a highlight; you can feel the passion and philosophy behind the food through that warm, energetic smile. Final Verdict: 10/10. Every element—from the philosophy of the kitchen to the hospitality on the floor—was top-tier. I’ll be thinking about that Panzanella for a long time!

Waiter was super friendly! And great service. Food was amazing, the cinnamon roll is sooooo good, and the banana bread is amazing, breakfeast sandwich with sausage and avocado had the ultimate pack of protein and high quality. Pancake was super fluffy and golden crispy . Amazing food, amazing service! 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

The hype is real for this restaurant! Everything was so intentional from the decor to the food. It truly brought a sense of nostalgia as a first generation Asian American myself! I feel seen. They really nailed the balance between traditional and modern in so many ways. There were limited street parking but they did have a small lot in the back with just a few spots. We had reservation on a Saturday and were seated right away. The space had many table arrangements for small and big groups. Service was so friendly and our server was so patient with us as we kept ordering more food haha. The yellow, blue, and the wicker inspired chairs transported us to a new yet familiar place. I have no doubt their cinnamon roll and pancakes are delicious but we came for the specialties that we usually can’t get anywhere else. We shared everything family-style. The Breakfast Sando with sausage (seasoned with Chinese five spice and others) somehow tasted like a chinese crepe to me and was so comforting! The egg was perfectly runny with the soy sauce but unfortunately our Kaya Brick Toast was a little burnt. Everything that morning felt a little overdone so maybe the oven was running hotter that day? The Malaysian Style Coffee Bun had a lovely hint of coffee in a pineapple bun style. But I think both our favorite was the Biscuit By the Each with Chinese sausage. It came hot straight out of the oven and super crispy and savory. Overall it was such a wonderful experience and I hope everyone gets the chance to eat here and support this local business showcasing this modernized cuisine! Make that reservation now!
