    Plate embellishment
    Jainy L.

    I had dinner here and it was just ok. I am giving 4 stars for the service and cleanliness of the restaurant and restroom. The food however was not great. I had orange chicken and it was so overcooked and dried I could barely cut or chew it as it was so hard. The wontons in the soup were undercooked. The white rice was fine, seemed fresh and moist. Loved the table top crunchies. Definitely not how I remember this restaurant from years ago. I did enjoy the atmosphere and felt the staff was very accommodating. I will try another day and hopefully the food will be better.

    This place has been my tried and true since middle school. You always know what you'll be getting! This is quintessential American Chinese. My favorites/must orders: Pu Pu Platter for two and the house fried rice! The food doesn't have any MSG which is a huge plus. The inside is definitely standard Chinese restaurant, nothing extravagant. The waiters are always kind and efficient. A huge plus about this place is how fast the food comes out and the portion size! It gets pretty busy on the weekends but I've never had to wait too long.

    We had a pleasant experience. Quick service and quick food delivery. Atmosphere is comfortable. Ample spacing between table. Accepts credit/debit. Lots of parking space. High chair seen. They do have an automatic tip% to charge(it is not termed service charge on their receipt) but i dont mind, i like the service, worth it. See images for reference.

    Vegetable Spring Roll

    We went here Saturday night and quickly Sat us, waitress arrived with water and that what we drank. The menus are smaller but laminated and the drink menu looks great! We are on week 13 of our vegetarian diet, so we split veggie spring rolls , and I got a small spicy hot and sour soup! Both came at once and I asked for hot mustard and hot chili oil and everything was great! Patty ordered veggie lo mein and she said it was great but a little greasy, but good! I got Spicy Amazing Soy beef , oh The stuff was , I took 1/2 home for lunch tomorrow. Ambiance is average, clean and very nice . Probably top 5 in Portland area for Asian food! Thanks Gen

    general tsos chicken lunch special portion
    Kate S.

    I had takeout from here years ago and was disappointed. Thought I'd give it another go today and try the lunch specials. I got the general tso's chicken, fried rice, and egg drop soup. My soup was average at best. The rice was dry and bland. The chicken was pretty awful. It was over fried, the meat itself was stringy, and apparently mixed with a lot of some type of white, grainy, gummy starch. Each piece of "meat" was half starch. It didn't contribute to the taste at all, but the texture was weird, and my digestive system has not been happy since. I guess it makes the pieces of meat look big and the dish is filling, but it's pretty terrible. Beyond that, the sauce was far too sweet. The service was quick, but often looked a little lost as a waiter would just stand in the dining area looking aimlessly. I will not be back.

    Great chinese american restaurant! This restaurant is family owned. They are currently offering dine in but only serve in takeout boxes (likely due to covid-19). Our favorites were the sizzling duck, the beef chow fun and the chicken noodle soup. Our family was craving comfort food and we decided to come straight here after the Jetport. The beef chow fun was delicious! Flavorful noodles and tender beef! The chicken noodle soup was so comforting and wholesome. The sizzling duck was crispy but slightly salty. Overall, a great meal!

    Scorpion Bowl for 2. Served at the restaurant but available to go as well.

    Order fried rice, chicken wings, and crab rangoons. Everything was very bland. Do yourself a favor and order somewhere else.

There's records being thrown down, cool lighting, nice decor and even super friendly folks. The employees here are beyond nice and welcoming. Like they know what they are doing here and they are offering you an experience that is fun and funky. We started off with two drinks. One was called a salad of some sort (sorry, blacked out) and it was delicious. The other was just as good. Ordered the eggplant app - do not leave without this. Absolutely amazing. For food, we ordered a rice bowl with pork sausage and a noodle bowl (with lobster and clams). Don't remember the names. Both were absolutely fantastic. The flavor profiles are just incredible. The rice bowl had so many things happening. Just terrific. The noodle bowl has a broth that you would drink daily. There wasn't one thing that could have made these dishes any better. Do not leave without dessert. Read that again!!! Get the honey sundae. This is what dreams are made of. You will question reality. No matter how stuffed you think you are, order this. This place is just full of magic and wizardry. Like seriously.

    Good meal, prices definitely on the high side…read more Vibe: really cohesive, cool, themed decor. Large shared table in the middle flanked by bar seating. Service: Great Food: We started off with soft serve and the seasonal earl gray outshined the house honey. The earl gray had a great flavor topped with an excellent syrup while the honey was mild and the chocolate shell didn't add anything, although the 'honeycomb' bits were delic. Crispy eggplant special - good, very small portion Pork katsu sandwich - pretty solid, interesting pickle Pad mee korat - good, small portion Value: Aside from the soft serve, the portions were very small for ~$17 price point, and the food was good but aside from the earl gray soft serve, didn't amaze to the point of paying a higher price point. Overall I did like this meal but portions were small for prices. I hope they keep the earl gray soft serve around!

All the foods in order of my preference, this was a tough list to rank because everything had great flavor and came out hot!! Lobster rangoon: yes, I would love to have another order of these! Great flavor, nice crisp wonton, just a wonderful rangoon experience! Pork pot stickers: mmm, love me some pot stickers, and these lived up to my expectations, great flavor and texture! Sa cha chicken skewers: so very tender, great flavor, would gladly eat again! Garlic meatball skewers: good flavor, nice dipping sauce, happy we added these to our selection. Shanghai soup dumplings: in general a fun food item, great flavor and they were highly recommended by the everyone who suggested we eat here. Mongolian beef: the beef had great flavor, the broccoli was cooked properly, not mushy, the onions were well caramelized; delicious! Har gow: good flavor, nice steamed dumplings, glad we tried them! Peking duck buns: my friend was in love with these, it was good, but not something I was immediately obsessed with. More than enough food for the three of us adults!
