Hawaiian Restaurant · Washington County
In my opinion, this is the best Hawaiian food in the tri-county area. Servings are generous and it just really hits the spot.
Playground · Piedmont
I personally love this alternative to the International Rose Garden. It's a beautiful park that is peaceful, quiet, and easy to enjoy the roses when they're in bloom. Sitting by the fountain or under the gazebo on a hot, sunny day feels nice.
Coffee Shop · St. Johns
They recently remodeled! Not sure if they still do, but they used to have multiple motorbikes on display that were cool to look at. Staff are so nice and make great coffee drinks. Nice, quiet place to enjoy some coffee and chat with friends, or just get some work done.
Bridge · Willamette River
In my opinion, the most beautiful bridge in the city of Portland, which is well known for its many bridges. There's a park area underneath the bridge (Cathedral Park) with lots of open space to enjoy by the water. This north Portland area is also not as busy or crowded, so it's easy to enjoy some peace and quiet.
Coffee Shop · Chinatown
Literally some dope ass coffee. There's no menu, so either ask them to surprise you or they can come up with basically anything you want. Staff are so friendly and fun to chat with. They also have some sick kicks on display. Just a warning, there's no seating so it's more grab-n-go.
Sandwich Place · Montavilla
Love to get my banh mi fix here if I'm on this side of town.
Vietnamese Restaurant · Beaverton
This is my number one spot for banh mi, but they serve other Viet dishes too. Could just be cause I grew up eating their Vietnamese sandwiches, but I really love this place and the kind staff who have been running the place for decades.
Vietnamese Restaurant · Raleigh Hills
This Vietnamese restaurant has absolutely ruined Vietnamese rice plate dishes for me. I cannot have com thit nuong (rice with grilled pork) anywhere else. My dad also swears by the pho and he's pretty picky about where he eats. These are all subjective opinions of course though, but they are run by lovely people and are worth a try!
Korean Restaurant · Beaverton
Don't be fooled by the market front, this place is hiding a homey little restaurant upstairs with GENEROUS servings of comforting Korean food. And when you're done, you can go shopping downstairs in the G-Mart! The staff are so lovely and the food always hits. Come hungry!!
Asian Restaurant · Tigard
I love friend chicken... This place excels with their fried chicken... Their rice bowl will for sure put you in a food coma though, so be prepared.
