Where to get lunch is a common office debate, and the reader nominations for our survey run a full range of Portland restaurants.  Out of 652 votes, there were 110 different restaurants suggested! One surprise is how well Boke Bowl placed – it seems like they just opened! Here is the listing of the top ten. The percentages dropped to almost nothing below that number.

Out of 652 votes:

1. Bunk Sandwiches – 11% of the vote. My review

  • 621 Southeast Morrison Street  Portland, OR 97214  Map  (503) 477-9515
  • 211 SW 6th Ave, Portland OR. 97219  Map  (503) 972-8100
  • (Bunk Bar) 1028 Southeast Water Avenue #130  Portland, OR 97214  Map
    (503) 894-9708. Note that Bunk Bar is a um… bar/live music venue, but has similar food.

2. Boke Bowl – 8% 1028 Southeast Water Avenue  Portland, OR 97214  Map  (503) 719-5698

3. Meat Cheese Bread – 6.1%  1406 Southeast Stark Street  Portland, OR 97214  Map  (503) 234-1700 My review

4. Little Bird -4.9% 219 SW 6th Ave., Portland OR 97204  Map  (503) 688- 5952

5. Olympic Provisions NW – 5%. Roger Porter’s Review

  • 1632 NW Thurman St., Portland OR 97209  Map  (503) 894-8136
  • 107 SE Washington St., Portland. 97214  Map  (503) 954-3663

6. Tasty n Sons– 3.7% 3808 North Williams Avenue  Portland, OR 97212  Map  (503) 621-1400  My review

7. (tie)

  • Kenny & Zuke’s Deli – 3% 1038 Southwest Stark Street, Portland OR. 97209  Map  (503) 222-3354
  • Grüner – 3% 527 Southwest 12th Avenue  Portland, OR 97205  Map  (503) 241-7163  My review

8. (tie)

  • Pok Pok – 2.8% 3226 Southeast Division Street  Portland, OR 97202  Map  (503) 232-1387  My review
  • Evoe – 2.8% 3735 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland OR 97214  Map  (503) 232-1010

My favorite? I rotate among a group: Meat Cheese Bread, Olympic Provisions NW, Bunk Sandwiches. I love lunch at Pok Pok, but it’s too far out-of-the-way. My go to place is OP NW, as I live nearby (in a box under the freeway)
