Pretty Good Food

by lilium at Citysearch

The noodle dishes seem to come with TONS of noodles, a couple of pieces of veggi's, and some meat but not enough to compete with the noodles. I would like it better if they took half of the noodles away and added 20X the vegetables. However it is very salty, sugary, oily, and expensive so I only go there a couple of times a year.

• Pros: flavorful food, huge portions, cozy atmosphere
• Cons: expensive, unhealthy, not enough vegetables

I had heard great things about their food, but was sadly disappointed. I left feeling unsatisfied & would not go back again. The food was way too salty and laden with fat. At least I did not pay a lot of money or wait long for a table!

• Pros: tender meat, prompt service, friendly staff
• Cons: very salty!!!!!!, very fatty!!!!, small

If you love food.........youll love Nohos

by selliott58 at Citysearch

Been going here for years..........even when it was a place called Local Boyz. While the food is simple, it is also very good and can be had in gargantuan proportions if wanted. There are times when it is just what the doctor ordered, and has enough diversity on the menu to please most folks. Carnivores delight, and a great place for kids!

• Pros: Food, Price, service
• Cons: A bit small, parking

Hawaii in Portland!

by balticblond at Citysearch

You can only truly judge Noho's if you are familiar with authentic Hawaiian fare. This place has it. The key thing to remember here is you will get a lot of food! My advice split your order with a friend! Try everything-- it all is soooo gooood.

• Pros: best Korean ribs, fun service staff, TASTY food
• Cons: , small dining room

Size versus substance

by jamidwyer at Citysearch

Nothing's duller than a whining vegetarian, but here goes. The yakisoba is billed as a "mound of noodles and vegetables." Should be "mound of noodles, and a vegetable or two." If your criterion for great food is sheer mass, this is your place. But be warned: you pay for it.

Nice lunch spot

by the_cooldude at Citysearch

Nice cozy restaurant with a window view of the quaint Clinton St neighborhood. Phil Ono's chicken here tastes great, I often order this dish. If you're in an adventureous mood, be sure to get the Spicy Korean Ribs.

Hot & Sweet Chicken!

by maagret at Citysearch

Good grief was this place good! It was our first time there, but I'd definitely go back. The service was quick and friendly, the portions huge (we ordered medium) and the prices reasonable. I love the neighborhood as well. Free kids meal for my 2 year old niece!

• Pros: delicious, variety, good service
• Cons: uncomfortable seats, cramped space

Fabulous Chicken

by draigons at Citysearch

Noho's has the main components for a good restaurant: friendly wait staff, good food, and a good niche. Both the teriyaki and their house special chicken were excellent--moist and flavorful! Their macaroni salad has a unique--and good--flavor. This has definitely made it into my rotation of restaurants.

Where's the main course?

by DonLentz at Citysearch

Nine bucks for an appetizer that they call lunch? I thought Polynesians like to eat? I like to eat and I walked away hungrier than when I walked in. Plus, they wanted me to cough up another buck or so to get a refill on Coke. What a joke. I say for $9 you ought to get full and maybe one refill if it's not too much trouble. The food was pretty good and for my three-year-old daughter it would have been a nice-sized kids meal but for an adult, no. To sum up, tastes great, less filling.

• Pros: good for dieters, cute waitresses, can't think of one
