Bánh Mì in PDX?
Sadly, I am a bánh mì virgin, but this makes my first time all the more important. I've done some research on where to find the best bánh mì in Portland, but I keep coming up with contradictory reviews. Since I've never had it, I'm not exactly sure what to look for. Anyone have a good reason why their pick is the best? All advice/suggestions are appreciated!
Portland weekend menu
Ambitious list for sure, but a delicious one as well. Definitely do CC for dinner. Pok Pok really is excellent and *not* your typical Thai food. If you're into pizza, Ken's Artisan is pretty hard to beat. It's "hyped," but in my opinion, really that good. You'll wait for a table there, though. Papa Hayden on NW 23rd has a pretty ridiculous dessert menu. (In a good way.)
Portland so far - What's next?
I agree that Pok Pok is the better dinner choice over Ping, but Ping is a fun happy hour. The Ju Pa Bao and a Pomegranate Gin Rickey will start your night off right. Or try the Yuzu drinking vinegar with vodka.
Also agreed that Ten-01 is probably less energetic than Clyde, but slightly more than Higgins. Great drinks there.
Cafe Castagna is another nice choice if you make it over to the Hawthorne area. Don't miss the Sauvie Island egg with frisée, lardons and toast and the housemade ginger soda.
Clyde Common is one of the best, so do go back for the burger.
