Paiku - Portland

We stopped in for lunch after a walk around St. Johns and on our way to Forest Park for a hike. My husband had the veggie omelet with a homemade biscuit, and I had the tofu hash with a side salad. We loved our choices! The hash was really perfect everything done right, and a lovely miso aioli sauce as a garnish. The tofu itself was smoked and complemented the sweetness of the potatoes beautifully. The salad was perfectly dressed and absolutely fresh. Service was delightfully friendly and efficient. The interior of the restaurant is attractive and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Came in about 10 or so on a Saturday and were seated within 10 minutes. They got busy pretty soon after though. Food was delicious and service was quick considering the amount of people that were there. I think my favorite was the gallet, but the French toast was next up I think. Cocktails were very well-priced. My only complaint is that I didn't think their coffee was good, maybe a little burnt? But otherwise everything else was yummy!

Delightful! Paiku is the perfect spot for a satisfying breakfast experience that exceeded all expectations. The staff was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable, answering all of my questions about the locally sourced ingredients and house-made dishes. As someone from the east coast, finding a go-to breakfast place has been a challenge, but Paiku made me feel right at home. The menu offers something for everyone, even picky eaters, with options like the Paiku Benedict that was simply amazing. The commitment to fresh and quality ingredients was evident in every dish, including the house-made pastries that were a great treat to take home. Overall, Paiku is a hidden gem that surpasses all expectations with its quality food and welcoming atmosphere.

We’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile now. We ended up stopping by for a late brunch. I had the vegan hash and my other two friends chose other entrees. The servers were super friendly and the restaurant was adorable. The food tasted fine for what it was a bit pricey) and the biscuits were lovely. I am sadly giving two stars because 2/3 of us ended up feeling sick after eating here.

Love the place. Both the food and service are amazing. We have become regulars!
