Norah M.May 11, 2016The name of the resturant says it all " Tasty " .. Order the crap dip 👍🏻 , Adler burger 🙏🏻 & Baja Tacos 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻 .. They were amazing and the service was perfect in every possible way ..
Christian D.March 25, 2017The food was amazing and the drinks were great too. Take a place at the bar if you do not want to wait (which can take 1h+ easily). They serve the full menu at the bar and the bartenders are super!
Brian WangSeptember 6, 2017Came in at 3:30pm for their Mid Day Bar Menu. Had the Radicchio salad and Steakhouse Sandwich, both were fantastically flavorful. Would love to come here for brunch!
Tony CJuly 29, 2016Got here around 2:30pm on a Sunday. They had just finished brunch service, so I could only sit at the bar. Got a couple of beers, fried chicken, and a biscuit. Even happy hour menu was good overall.
Kimie de la RosaApril 14, 2015Wow amazing food. Bambino is a classic. Must have the sautéed spinach & grilled asparagus. So much flavor. Very fresh ingredients Small place you can share tables with strangers. Lol
Anson WangJuly 10, 2018Expect long waits. Get the radicchio, octopus, wagyu skirt steak, duck duck potatoes. Brunch means fried egg and cheddar biscuit w/ fried chicken + milkshake & fries because you don't diet here.
Pavan KulkarniJuly 2, 2017Amazing food. Loved their Korean fried kimchi rice chicken , cuate Mary and the corn fritatta. The wait is ridiculously long like over 2 hours so plan something long with it
Matt ChanNovember 28, 2016Well-priced brunch spot. Worth noting that the dishes are meant to be shared, so mix it up! I really enjoyed the Bim Bop and the Korean Fried Chicken.
Mike McCaffreyJune 5, 2016Vegetarian or gluten free? The waitstaff are happy to mark up your menu with the best options for your particular dietary preferences!
Roshel AghassiMarch 2, 2018First timer and super impressed. Highly recommend the Saigon Brussels Sprouts, Duck...Duck...Steak, Auntie Paula’s French Toast, and the Korean fried Chicken. Everything is fantastic!!!!
Don't hesitate on the dry aged ribeye on the mid day menu. The Fried chicken is super moist with great crunchy exterior too!
Mark LinderMarch 5, 2013Get the clams & chorizo-save your clams & pass on the 2 ribeye offerings. Service & atmosphere were nice. Note: we arrived at 5:10p and were 1st to be seated; can see why people would wait though...
Bin YangNovember 22, 2015Killer bim bop bacon for brunch. Tart, mild and crunchy kimchi with crispy charred rice and marinated bacon - get it. The fried chicken sandwich and fried oyster open omelette is great too.- Endorsed: Potatoes Bravas. Korean Fried Chicken. Bim Bop Bacon & Eggs. The Alder Burger. Liquid thumbs up: Improved Whiskey Cocktail.
Andrew WisemanSeptember 12, 2014I don't like bloody marys and these are great, plus fantastic brunch food. The bibimbap with eggs and bacon and crunchy rice and such is outstanding
DANGER TAMSeptember 1, 2014If there's 2 of you, put your name in with the hostess and get a drink at the standing bar while you wait. You might have a greater chance of sitting at the real bar for foods. Saigon beans are ridic.
Jessica Torrez-RileySeptember 21, 2014There's a reason the word tasty is in the name. Absolutely scrumptious Family-style eating! Must try: goat cheese dumplings, cedar-plank salmon, Nacho Libre corn on the cob, and the Brussels sprouts
Taylor LindnerAugust 12, 2018The Goat Cheese Dumplings Arrabiata were one of the best things I have ever eaten period. I’m not usually into spicy stuff, but these were incredible. Get them. Eat them. Love them.
Bikash MishraJanuary 17, 2017Been here a couple of times and everything is solid. The Korean style chicken is tasty, and Brussels sprouts are to die for!
nora walkerSeptember 21, 2014great Bloody Mary, egg and steak skillet and the polenta were both to die for
The best advice I ever got was to get the Tasty Steak and Eggs with a Tasty Mary for breakfast here. Now I'm passing these words of wisdom to you. You won't be disappointed.
Amy ValentNovember 23, 2014The chips n dip are perfectly crisp. The Brussels sprouts are excellently seasoned but a little oily. The service went above and beyond in my opinion even though they missed one of my orders
Falcon ElizabethAugust 22, 2013This place has made me realize that Portland is seriously winning the Portland v Brooklyn food competition. Also, so glad I'm not a vegetarian. Pork skirt steak all the way. And the heirloom tomatoes!
Geoff ReinhardtAugust 24, 2014Chocolate Potato Doughnut is incredible. Also order the Bim Bop Bacon & Eggs to share. Wait can be lengthy so put your name in and go grab Courier Coffee on Oak Street.
John DuarteApril 10, 2019The maple cumin glazed sweet potatoes are spectacular. And the drinks were very good as well. Loved it here.
meganMarch 28, 2014Here's your order: Tasty Mary, Potatoes Bravas, Fried Egg 'n Biscuit with bacon, English Patient cocktail. Heaven.
ShinaJanuary 17, 2019Brunch on a weekend FTW. I had the French toast and it was definitely something I’d get again. Great casual vibe too for solo travelers or groups.
Maina KhojaJuly 15, 2015Everything we've ordered was amazing, their burger, baja fish tacos and corn on the comb are must to try.
GNTLMNFebruary 19, 2014Tasty n Sons' third, and newest restaurant. Different menu. The Korean Fried Chicken bowl at lunch (only) is my favorite dish. Everything else is also pretty exceptional.
@SlopFunkDustMay 15, 2017Food and drinks are great but the bar menu between lunch and dinner (2pm - 5pm) is VERY limited. It actually kinda sucks. Gonna come back for brunch or dinner.
Jasmine FriedlDecember 10, 2017Try the Dim Summore bloody with the Bim Bop Bacon and eggs. The Tasty Bloody is also a win.
Leah AbrahamsAugust 27, 2016Get the chocolate potato donut! The biscuit was unreal, and the duck duck steak was pretty on point too.
Kirsten AlanaJune 8, 2014If you're a fan of the Bloody Mary, don't miss theirs. I think the Tasty Mary is best but they're all a homerun.
Kevin WeiseMay 22, 2019Foie gras, asparagus, duck potatoes. I tried the Japanese wagyu and it melted in my mouth. Cool restaurant with a great vibe and service
Juan JotarOctober 24, 2013Wow, I just found the right excuse to say that this is a really good place: the Panna Cotta with pineapple-rum caramel and a Zacapa rum glass besides. This is an experience!
Jessica TarletonOctober 22, 2016Get their Irish coffee, potatoes bravas, tasty steak and cheddar eggs, fried egg and cheddar biscuit and Korean fried chicken for four people
Lizzie MartinMay 27, 2017One of the best brunches I have ever had! Lots of small plates that are great for sharing. Highly recommend the bambino plate and the flatiron steak!
Enrique Gutiérrez ArzateJanuary 17, 2019One of the best restaurants in Portland. Try the Octopus, delicious!
Amelia ManiJuly 12, 2016The sherry skirt steak and Mexican grilled corn were both SUPERB! It was an hour wait on a Monday night at 8pm though, so there's that....
Travis TindellMay 27, 2016Steak and eggs with jalapeño butter pancake is unbelievable. Bim bop is great too!
Connie ChiuAugust 4, 2016Brunch highlights: kim bop bacon and whole toad egg thing. Both are savory and full of yums. Long wait, even on a Wednesday brunch time.
One of my favorite places. Bar is always packed with great drinks. Their steaks are amazing every time. And top notch service.
Julia AsakawaSeptember 15, 2015Food is veeeery good. I shared the hamburger and the korean fried chicken, both were worth it!
- MaggieApril 24, 2016Everything is family style, which is perfect, because you'll want to try everything. Biscuits are drool worthy. Potatoes delicious.
KatyaNovember 27, 2014Best Brussels sprouts ever. I've always been impressed with the way side dishes are treated by all of the restaurants in this family.
Mary LyonsMay 7, 2018Housemade cottage cheese with pineapple jam was incredible. Sounds weird to praise cottage cheese but it’s still memorable even years later.- Bobbie McLellanJune 18, 2018The fried oyster omelette was sooo good. Came with biscuit that was done just right.
Scott MasonJuly 30, 2013Love the food here! All of it! French toast is yummy. I would normally say never listen to Nick. But the Korean chicken is the bomb!
Le JordanMarch 27, 2015One of the best dining experiences of my life. We liked lunch so much we went back for dinner.
Daniel MyersJuly 1, 2016They take your phone number on the waiting list, so you can wander out and enjoy the neighborhood while you wait.

"Awesome food, great service. What could you ask for that would be better? Everything I have tried, I've really liked it. They are so busy you'll have to wait for your table, but it's worth the wait."
