    Pok Pok over on Division might be the best restaurant in Portland as far as being great food and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

    Another great one is Toro Bravo. Bomb diggity!

    you're speaking my language now. two of my favorites in town.

    Pok Pok has this grilled shrimp dish which is just insanely good, along with their usual wings and that condensed milk iced cream.

    this is the shrimp dish...holy hell that sauce on the side was good as FUCK.

    Tasty and Sons is quite awesome as well.

    Everything at Pok Pok is delicious. I order to go during lunch atleast twice a week as its right on my route. Next time you're in town check out Po Shines over in Kenton. Bomb diggity southern food.

    Ringside Steakhouse on Burnside is my favorite restaurant. I just had dinner there last night. It ain't cheap though!

    You know the owners? That place is a family favorite. We were actually talking about asking if they would cater our wedding.

    Por Que No is probably my favorite mexican restaurant ever. One thing HCP has gotten right besides working for the Blazers.

    e:I'm a moron and thought you edited a different post. I'm sorry ABM.
