Review: Hot Pot City

By CuisineBonneFemme Last Update January 17, 2014

Hot Pot City Portland Counter

[Updated 10/10/09 – Hot Pot City continues to give the same level of quality and service as we discussed in the original review we did here in 2007. However, the restaurant seems to have been “discovered”. There are often long waits, especially for counter seating and during prime lunch hours (12-1:30pm). Weekends often fare a bit better. Service can be brisk or completely overwhelmed.]

Review: Kinara Thai Bistro

For that reason, I find myself at Pok Pok on a regular basis. To understand what Andy Ricker is trying to achieve at the restaurant, it helps […]

Review: Pok Pok – Another View

By Michael Charles Last Update January 16, 2014

If you have never heard Lou Reed sing “Heroin” (“Heroin, it’s my wife and it’s my life”) on Velvet Undergound’s first album, “Velvet Underground and Nico,” you should have a listen. In protopunk style, Reed nails the junkie insanity of anticipating his fix then rushing through his run and falling back to earth again–pathetically and […]
