Staff was amazing with us when we explained it was our first time there. Waitress was very patient with my teens and naturally explained the menu/choices. She made time to ask about our day and small talk. I loved how attentive she was with our table, even with how busy it was. Generous food portions and it exceeded our satisfaction on flavor(s). Cocktails were average pricing (8-12.00) and did not disappoint. Highly recommend!
Had a great time after the wine walk today. Blake took very good care of us after being seated in the bar. The Justin Cab Sav was amazing and the food was great!
Really enjoyed our entire experience for dinner here. Service was great, waiter was extremely attentive and friendly and the food was outstanding. Ordered quite a few small plates / appetizers, loved the poke and spring rolls. The Brussel sprouts with pork belly are a must and our favorite entree was the stuffed salmon. We were too full for dessert but need to come back to try!
We love dining at Five Spice! It’s a very upscale atmosphere without the upscale pricing. They give you a fair portion of food and the dishes are outstanding! Everything is cooked to perfection. The wine options are plentiful and diverse, which is nice for couples like us who enjoy trying something new each time we go. I cannot recommend the lobster tail enough - it’s incredible. We will spend hours here for dinner looking out over the Lake. It’s truly a wonderful dining experience!
Got sat immediately, and I walked out to one of the nicest outdoor seatings to date. Of course, we brought our little guy. The heating was warm and cozy, our hostess was warm and friendly. Our server, she was wonderful. The food though, omg, I was just happy looking at the menu, but the food? I needed something like this in my life, and this was literally the highlight of my day. The facility was well ran, organized, bathrooms super clean and all plating of all these scrumptious dishes were beautiful. Did I mention their awesome happy hour menu or their curated wine list that can in the hearts of any wine connoisseur? Domain wines too, which were impressive. We got the coconut shrimp, super crunchy, but not hard and not too sweet and had the best compliment of flavor with their sweet chilli sauce. The oysters in the half shell came with a vinaigrette and cocktail sauce. Their korean fried chicken was crispy and flavorful, but not overwhelming. They also had a wonderful gochujang sauce that had depth but wasn't too salty or sweet like other places are. Balance of flavors were on point. The poke and taro chips were superb. How did I not know about this place? I've been missing out for over 10 years? No wonder why they had awards on the wall, they were well deserved. I'm coming back, like soon.
Enjoyed the crab shrimp melt paired with a white pinto, sitting outdoors with a lovely lake breeze. Staff were attentive and food was excellent.
This is my new find! I give it a 4 star because of the food I had- read on why before you make a decision, but I’d give it a 5 star for location!
I want to come here during summer when the weather is nice so I can appreciate some quality time with my friends, good drinks and great conversations overlooking Lake Oswego!
But you don’t have to wait, you can still be seated by the window and enjoy your meal with a view!
The service was great, our waitress was very friendly and helpful.
I am adventureous but my stomach is not… so I ordered grilled Salmın but the rice it came with had sweetened sauce in it and it was already in it so I was stuck with it.
If you are like me and don’t like to mix your food, you can ask them to lay off the sauce or put it on the side….
And the rice was undercook and crunchy and a nit soggy…
The other dish is oyster and clam soup and may friend said it was good.
Overall, the lıcation is nice but a bit noisy because of the glads and tall ceilings, it becomes a bit hard to speak and listen, you feel like you have to raide your voice to communicate.
One downside for me was they only had filtered coffee… decaf or normal… no cappucino, no espresso… that was a bummer…
And oh, I tried their creme brule too…. CopperRiver did a better job for me.. The brule had a burnt and more oily taste and aftertaste in my mouth and the cookies that came with brule was not necessary…
I think I would go there for drinks, the view more…
Don’t forget this is my opinion, you can give it a go and add to the review! I hope the videos and pictures help.
Enjoy….
Great views when outdoors is open. Great food and the desert was delicious order ahead to prepare.
Upstairs facing the lake at dusk. Disney-level ambience…but it’s real. Calamari was phenomenal and they upgraded us to a balcony seat.
Greeted on entry, seated immediately but has reservation for outdoor seating with cute of lake. All shaded seats were taken, a little uncomfortable for some in party. Server was attentive and communicated well. Tasted around the happy hour menu. Beef skewers were a standout. I enjoyed the spring roll though I thought it wouldn't be deep fried.
Great restaurant! Everything I have eaten here has been good, both the surf and the turf.
Been here several times when on business in Lake Oswego what is nestled in a wonderful little spot overlooking the water, really a magical place. And to top it off the food is amazing and the staff is unbelievable, this is a must try restaurant if you're anywhere near Lake Oswego.
Our takeout dinner was so good!!
Everything was well put together.
I really like the kind of to-go boxes they use.
No mess. And food was still very warm by the time it made it to my home. From Thai crab cakes to blackened salmon salads, to burger and scallops! All were amazingly delicious! I love the service too! 😊
Visited for the first time and very much enjoyed! Lovely views, above average happy hour options, great customer service, and the lounge is perfect to sit in whether you're waiting for a table or doing happy hour or eating dinner.
The food had nice presentation, and had good flavors ... the half chicken tasted like it had baking spices in it which I could have gone without. I need to try more of the dinner menu to determine wow-factor of flavor profiles, but the menu looked scrumptious!
Pictured: happy hour oysters, shishito peppers, and fried spring rolls. Dinner menu Draper Valley Half Chicken. Happy hour chicken Satay skewers (from a follow-up visit)
Beautifully decorated yet cozy place! This restaurant has outdoor heated seating, lounge, bar and regular dining. They have good menu, we loved fish appetizer and entrees. They are also very accommodating for subsitutions, I say that because a few high end restaurants don't quite entertain that!
I will be back for outdoor seating with lake views and the happy hour !
It was all good but quite pricey. Drinks are tiny. My friend and I shared an entrée, and they plated our portions separately which was especially nice. The ♡Coconut Shrimp♡ is good, as is the Filet Mignon with Garlic Mashed potato 🥔 (though not very garlicky) and Asparagus.
Serving very nice seafood with Asian flavour. Have a nice lake view when sitting outside the balcony. Very friendly and helpful waitress. Ordered the fried calamari, northwest oyster is blowing my mind! The crab cake , the jumbo shrimp , fried spring roll and jumbo seared scallops were beating my expectation. The stewed seafood with clams, fish and mussel was nicely prepared with reasonable spiciness! The other good to share was the wine list is extensive with good varieties of wine especially the Oregan wines that is good and reasonable price. worth a visit...

2 years later I came back to this restaurant. The food quality retained the same quality. Ordered the diver scallops, steamed mussel pot with coconut and spicy sauce, ribs, cocktails prawn, fried five spice squid 🦑 but ran out on the usual Northwest oysters … disappointing. Great wine selection and wine buoy the good evening !
Good variety of lunch items. Has the Thai beef salad, pretty tasty and a good portion. Mango mojito was to die for. Server was the nicest! Sat upstairs outside with a beautiful view.
