Awesome happy hour!  The food was inexpensive and awesome. The place was packed with hip 20somethings.  The decor was modern.  The agedashi tofu skewer and seaweed salad appetizers were amazing.

This is a great place!  The owner plays equal parts bartender, server, and host.  The other servers are very nice and seem to love their job.  Being from NYC, I have yet to take this for granted. ;-)  The 1/3lb burger with jack cheese and fries ($7) is excellent.  It's great fun to draw on the butcher-paper-covered tables with crayons (not as ghetto as it sounds).  They have live bands later in the evening.

The patio is a real crowd-pleaser, complete with SWINGS instead of chairs and a FLAMING FIRE PIT in the middle of the table!  Surprisingly, no one got hurt.  The fire was perfect for fending off Portland's chill air.  All they need now is a trampoline.  Be warned, the patio seats are quite popular.

Great Thai!  As one reviewer noted, many of the ingredients are typical of Chinese food (baby carrots) but they still tasted great.  I definitely appreciated the extra variety.  I love mushrooms and many of their dishes feature several different kinds.  Presentation was great.  Service was amazing. I also loved the soup samples.
