to die for....... Just visited Noho's for the first time, and we weren't disappointed. Very friendly staff, and love the small, quaint location. They even have outside seating available for when the weather cooperates.

The food? To die for!!! It was superb. Can't wait to go back.  View Less

The greatest macaroni salad in the world.. I can't believe anybody would have negative comments about Noho's. First, lets focus on service. I believe that great service is very important and the staff working at Noho's is with out a doubt the best. My wife have been eating at Noho's for quite some time now and several of the waitresses have remembered us and always make sure we are comfortable and happy. Second, the food is generally consistently good. There's been a couple times that my steak is a little dry but overall the food has been good. Finally the macaroni salad at Noho's is by far the best macaroni salad I have ever eaten. We always order large side dishes of macaroni salad so we can take it home for lunch at work.  View Less View More

Seemed fine to me.... Sometimes restaurants will advertise huge portions, and then not deliver. I did not feel that this was the case here. Be aware, though, that not all the dishes are the same size, but rather come in degrees of hugeness. A large-sized basic teriyaki chicken, for example, is not quite as huge as the Korean chicken (ok, so that's the only example that I know of; I'm still waiting for a grant to conduct the rest of my research).

Other notes:

-The green salad was subpar, but the "tropical" dressing was tastier than I expected.

-The place was actually crowded, not what I expected for 11:30am on a Monday.

-The prices have risen, at least for all of the chicken dishes. From what I recall they are about $1.75 higher than the prices now posted on Noho's website.

-The server was friendly without being overbearing, and had a great smile.  View Less

SO MANY BAD REVIEWS.... WHY?. So, I have only been here once. I will continue to go, and doubt that I will have as many bad things to say as I have seen on here. The server is somewhat dry, but not rude or bad. It is not like the other trendy hipster places around.

I felt compelled to write a review because I saw so many bad ones. Surprised.

My husband got korean ribs and chicken with garlic, both spicy, rice and mac salad. A side of veggies, big for price. Overall a little pricey, but it is in hipster SE.

The food was quick, delicious, and unique. DELICIOUS!

The server was quick, efficient, and helpful.  View Less

What Happened??. This used to be my favorite casual restaurant in Portland. 1. The macaroni salad was the best on the planet. 2. Their entrees were always the freshest, best quality. 3. With three different portion sizes you were sure to get a great value (not cheap, but a good value).

Is it a sign of the times that in order to cut costs, restaurants are forced to sacrifice quality, decrease portion sizes and omit special spices? Well, then, NoHo's seems to have followed this rule.

I have been visiting this establishment for 10 years--and have always ordered the same menu item (their #13). Recently, I have been to NoHo's 4 times in the last 2 months. And today's visit will probably be my last. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but no longer--4 chances is my limit. My takeout order was completely wrong (and I live over 30 miles away so going back was not an option), the portion sizes were 75% of their usual (the large size used to come with 2 mac salads and 3 rice. mine had 1 mac salad and 2 rice and the entree should have been called Hot and Spicy Onions), and the chicken had a funky smell and taste. And there was absolutely no spice whatsoever! It's like I received the wrong order, but since my other entree was correct (just overcooked and made with the lowest quality beef I have ever had--picture beef jerky), I knew they didn't give me the wrong order; it was just incorrect. I cannot continue to spend my hard earned money at a place that I cannot count on. This is a very sad day.

I don't know what has happened--new owner, new cook, new management, new business plan?? Someone made a bad decision, and in today's economy I think this bad decision is going to cost NoHo's their business.

NoHo's used to be consistently great. Now, they are consistently horrid.

Like I said, a very sad day indeed!  View Less
