Best Restaurant in Portland?

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Let me know how Kascka is if you go. Post those fire gram shots yo.

I hope we end up there, get some o' dat caviar, yo.

Also, a white person's experience in an asian restaurant is different than an asian persons. We get the secret menu. :MARIS61:

So many possible responses.....must....restrain....myself.............

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I watched a video of a black guy ordering in Chinese at a restaurant. The waitress was like "you don't want that, get this instead". So I totally understand what you mean.

We don't even look at the menu. We just ask for obscure chinese vegetables, ask what the steamed fish special is, etc.

It's all about that Ossetra.

My wife and I do dim sum at Ocean City several times a month (Ocean City has arguably some of the best dim sum in PDX......but we also recognize that PDX isn’t exactly San Francisco when it comes to dim sum). We get treated like genuine insiders (albeit pasty white insiders.....I don’t speak Chinese, so they could be having one helluva a good laugh at our expense for all we know) at Ocean City, probably because we’re regulars.....and we tip very well. The latter is something the Chinese are NOT noted for. So I suspect that helps. Just saying.....

has anyone of you been to bosnian restaurants or whatever
Im curious about that

will prob end up at Jin Wah in Beaverton sometime over the weekend. Either that or Chinatown on Walker and Murray. Dim Sum not too bad for the burbs

Anything over 10% is tipping well for chinese restaurants. They actually respect you more the more rude and the less you tip at these spots. Like never say please or thank you when you ask for something. if you need something, you stand up and clap your hands to get the attention of the hostess.

I ate here several years ago. http://www.442soccerbar.com/food.php I've seen other Balkan restaurants in Portland, but haven't tried any others yet.

I don't remember what I had but I liked it.

There isn't a whole lot in Portland, to be honest.
Travnik is the best that I've had. It is simple, but tasty. I had some classic cevapi that did not disappoint. And of course, there is 2 Brothers Cafe on 39th and Belmont.

Maybe this is why people hate Portlanders; they don't even know what restaurants in town are national chains?

To be fair this is a basketball forum.
Bugatti's in West Linn
Ringside
Melting Pot
Castagna
and my personal favorite
Aviary
But then i look for decent places to eat.

Sa Bai Thai

Deep east side but the best Thai I've had in Portland

I haven't seen anyone vote for the Purple Octopus place... I can't remember the name of the restaurant though.

Classic. The Greek Cusina. It has been closed for a while now.

Thinking of going to either Kascka or Can Font next weekend. Anyone been?

I would rather go to Kascka since I don't really get to eat russian food. I think everyone else is about Can Font.

My wife has been to kascka twice, she's never raved about it. She said there was some straight up fat mixed with stuff and a lot of pickled stuff. I think she enjoyed it though.

I went to Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik for my honeymoon. The Bosnian restaurant in Dubrovnik was my favorite food in the trip I believe. Some kind of meat in pastry roll with a cream sauce... Wow that sounds sexual!

Big Fat Wieners has the best hot dog ive ever eaten.

Did you go to the Drazen Petrovic museum?

Seems like smaller dishes, after a big thanksgiving meal, some dishes to accompany some vodka may be good. Spanish food is pretty light but honestly, I always get Spanish tapas, pretty good ones....probably would be pretty average for me.

I went to Jin Wah a couple of weeks ago. It was terrible. The place has either gone way downhill or I just caught them on a bad day.

Asians get the better food first. :MARIS61:

I used to go there since it was at its old smaller, location in that small ass minimall.

I mean, Dim Sum on carts is pretty standard, they just steam the shit.

One of my buddies who I went with is Korean. It's not looking good for you brah.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Maybe we'll go to Chinatown for Dim Sum then, just with some relatives. When you go to Dim Sum, you should go early since they cook it a little more frequently, if you go later they just let the shit sit on the carts until they sell out of stuff.

 

[Eastoff]

Did you go to the Drazen Petrovic museum?

I looked into it, but I believe it wasn't easily accessible. So no... We saw something for Tesla though.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR RESPONSE.. THE ONLY CORRECT ANSWER WOULD BE "FUCK YES"
