TikTok-Trendy Corn Ribs Are Emblematic of How Portland Eats Right Now - Eater Portland

"Under Mills’ guidance, Sesame Collective’s restaurants serve an even more intricate version of the dish: The team pre-poaches corn ribs in milk and butter, then reduces the cooking liquid and whips it until it breaks, resulting in a corn-infused compound butter." - Kara Stokes

5 star food; 4 stars only due to pricing. The bowls were $14 which feels a little steep for the size and no sides. I had a cardamom rice bowl with red falafel and tahina sauce. Hubby had same bowl with rainbow falafel (1 of each flavor) and S’hug sauce. I’d pick that sauce next time! Loved the blistered green beans and the carrot salad. We always love Tasty restaurants and this is no exception. Called in around 11:15 and order was ready at 11:55 for pickup.

Wow, just delicious! I got the market veggie bowl with all three types of falafel, tahina & the garlic sauce. Dillon loved the pickled mango sauce on his. The texture and savoriness of the falafel with the buttery-earthy beets and crisp crunch of snap peas was amazing. We felt great after eating it too. Thanks all, we loved it!

I like the vision here, but the execution falls a bit short. For everything I love that comes out of the Bullring, their takes on middle-eastern/Mediterranean food leaves me scratching my head sometimes. Fresh, colorful, and tasty, but for the prices, I expect better. On my first visit the beets in the beet bowl were overcooked (had the texture of canned beets), and the rice in the rice bowl is insanely over-spiced. Coriander seeds and full peppercorns were literally everywhere in the rice, completely robbing the rice of it's inherent fragrance and subtle taste. As for the falafel, I like the colors/tastes, but too small and - as a result - crunch-to-filling ratio is too high. House pickles were lazy, at best. Za'atar fries were great.

The best takeout I’ve found in SE during stay-at-home! So fresh and delicious. The roasted sweet potatoes are especially sweet, salty, and satisfying!
