    They serve tuna there, I hear. Not quite as vegan as advertised.

    I like Jin Wah in Beaverton for Dim Sum. That has been my family's go-to for years, along with Great China on Hall Blvd.

    Also, for nostalgia, I'm a fan of Golden Crown. I had my birthday there last year in fact...we used to go there all the time as kids. MEDALLIAN BEEF!

    Also, a few months ago I went to the SAYLER's OLD COUNTRY KITCHEN on the east side for the first time (used to go to the beaverton location all the time). Fuck, pretty good ass steak. I love their relish plate too and their onion rings and the mushroom sauce. Cheapish steaks too, ended up buying a t-shirt as well!

    I used to work right by Saylor's (off SE Washington/Stark and 101st/102nd). Bomb food for a cheesy diner. Their steak used to be really good, though it was slowly going downhill (still good for the price). I used to love their breakfast, especially since it was a full breakfast for like $6.

    Lardo is a good sandwich shop on 12th and Hawthorne. I'd add that to a bucket list. I recommend their fries with pig fat, and the bahn mi meatball sandwich

    I second this. So many good restaurants in Portland that I can't think of others to add , and then someone else mentions another gem.

    Anyone of you eat at Dicky Joe's Hamburgers in Eugene or Tualatin? Thinking about taking a special trip to Tualatin. The hamburgers and fries in that commercial appears to be amazing.

    Can't go wrong there.

    I hit up their food truck a couple weeks ago and had an off the menu grilled cheese with salami and pepperoncini's, doesn't sound special but was amazing.

    Been doing a lot of dim sum lately. Any other places that do it good other than Wongs King and Ocean City??

    Tonight I'm going back to Thien Hong because I have another hankering for their famous salt and pepper squid.. Ohhhh so good.

    I'll have to try that jackfruit shake.
