    Late post but we dined in sometime in November and didn't really think we would be returning as the interior is really aged and smelly and dimmed in lighting, kind of dark. It is very large dinning area for large parties. linen is used for table cloth had some stains and seems aged...their bathroom is right when you walk in and with the doors open it smells like bleach and just gross before you walk to dinning area. Service is quick to order and they do come by to check on you once food arrives. We dinned ij for some mainstay dimsum and ordered one clay pot eggplant dish. I noticed food was hot and clay pot wasn't and didn't have any food stuck to it as if it was cooked in there. The price charged for it however having eaten many clay pot dishes I think it was cooked in a wok on stove then transferred over..perhaps it's just a gimmick that it sounds fancy and at the same time you'll only ever know if you actually were a staff in kitchen. In addition to the clay pot eggplant dish, we ordered chicken feet, bean curd roll with pork and siu mai. Bean curd rolls were so disappointing, lack of the gravy sauce that goes over it to keep it moist and the pork meat was smelly, so pungent that I was not able to finish my bite. Never ordering it again. Some of the siu mai and chicken feet were not hot like right out of steamer. Chicken feet was soaked in a very sweet syrup like sauce, a bit too sweet for our preference, not savory. We did take out for dimsum today. Ordered online and it was a very simple process. 4 orders of their siu mai and an order of glutinous fried dumpling. Siu mai was moderately hot as they steam it and then pack it so it is up to you to heat it up to eat at home. Glutinous fried dumplings were crispy but taste was a bit lackluster with no flavor and very little filling. I've had better ones else where and it's packed with filing and more flavor even in the glutinous dough wrap. Overall, would recommend to do online order and take out only. They look inside the bag to determine if you are allowed to get more soy sauce and chili oil, we asked because we were given very small amounts for 16 pieces of siu mai.

    We came here for their 50% off June deal and it exceeded my expectations. My SO and I ordered several things and we were amazed by the portion sizes. It's a little hard to tell from photos, but they were HUGE compared to HK and Excellent Cuisine on east side. The Ha Gao, pretty small though, but still, all our other dishes were large portions, leaving us EXTREMELY full. I was a little disappointed because a food influencer mentioned that they were walking around with carts. We personally like the carts better because it's easier to visualize, but having it come out "fresh" is better. I will admit, it was a little disappointing because a table behind up turned away one of their dishes because it was really frozen. When I heard the couple talking, they said half their food was frozen, but the Chicken feet was kind of their "tipping point" for complaining. As for service, it was okay. I'm assuming the establishment is family owned. One of the servers was a bit rude to other customers, but she's young so it's understandable. When I was her age, I used to be a server at a busy restaurant that was short staffed so I can understand the stress sometimes. Overall, a solid place if I was lazy to drive to east side. Compared to HK, excellent cuisine, and Jin Wah (rest in peace), I think I'll have to rank this at the bottom.

    Hair full length ended up inside a "steamed pork bun". My mother unfortunately had the experience of eating the bun with the hair.

    This was our 3rd time to visit this restaurant, except this time it was a busy Easter Sunday brunch. My mom unfortunately had the unfortunate experience of biting into a steamed bun and ended with a mouthful of a full length hair cooked in the pork bun. She was so disgusted we almost walked out without paying. Due to the day being Easter I decide to have the manager adjust the bill minus the steamed buns and went home. Just a heads up seems like they can be in violation of numerous health department rules. The people in the kitchen we noted was seen not wearing hair bonnets causing for the loose hair to fall into the food being prepared. Nonetheless, I left without leaving a tip. Customer beware.

    The restaurant is in a very old building, interior is dark and has that old smelling. We went there for dim sum, I had the worst shrimp dumplings there. Dumpling wraps were too thick and I couldn't find any shrimp in the dumplings. The crispy noodle we ordered was ok. This is not the place for authentic Chinese dim sum.

    Yeah, we ate a ton! Wanted leftovers and boy did we.

    Very good dim-sum, service was slow. They are obviously short staffed. Seems to be a problem at many places. Attitude was, well, typical of a dim-sum/Chinese restaurant. While I can get around an attitude I know many people take offense. I would say don't let that sway you and try their dim-sum. Their other dishes like beef chow fun are really good.

    Does this location do dim sum in the carts or just ordered? Is dimsum just on weekends?

    We do dimsum everyday from 11am-3pm by order (except on Tuesdays since we’re closed)!

    What are we looking at vegetarian food wise? Is it like special vegetarian dishes, or did they just take meat off/out of something?

    They have a number of dishes where the protein is tofu. They also have dishes based on vegetables but I wouldn't say that they have a great vegetarian selection. This isn't a negative for East Harbor only a comment on American Chinese restaurants in… Read more

We ordered a variety of dishes including Cantonese beef chow fun, shrimp green beans, fish maw soup, and some stewed beef. The beef chow fun was a bit too dry in my option, there are definitely better options in Portland for this dish. However, the green beans were stir fried perfectly and were super crispy. I absolutely love a good fish maw soup, and this one was generous in the ingredients! The medium was more than enough for multiple bowls for the three of us. Finally, my favorite, the stewed beef, or ngau zap. It came still bubbling and hot, but the flavors hit the spot. The beef was tender and it paired really well with rice. Can't say much about their dim sum, since it has been quite a while since I've had it, but I'll be back soon to try it!

In this area, there are only 2 dim sum places (the other being Excellent Cuisine...apparently it's the same owner). There are 2 other dim sum places in the Beaverton area but they don't have carts. We arrived at 10:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning and the restaurant was about 2/3rds full. By 11 a.m. it's full and you will need to put your name on the wait list. Service is your usual...loud, kind of rude but not overtly great service but that's to be expected. Most of the ladies spoke Cantonese and Toisan. When you're ready to pay, you have to take your check to the counter and pay there. Food wise, it's legit. It doesn't have the same level of options that I'm accustomed (Los Angeles/Monterey Park) to but their staple dishes like ha how, siu mai, fung jow, dahn taht, hom sui gok were pretty good. But the food from the carts came out hot and fresh. If I'm back in the area again and need to satisfy my dim sum craving, I'd definitely come back.

Thinking that it would be crowded, we arrived before opening time and saw that there were about six people waiting to get in. LOL! We were guaranteed a first round seat!

These fried items would be coming on the next wagon, but the server went and got them for us! Wow! Thanks! We got shrimp and chive dumplings and plain shrimp dumplings from this stemed items wagon. Of course, we had to have custard tarts and the cute piggy and ducky-shaped puddings! The coconut and mango flavors were subtle. We liked the coconut more, even though the ducky wiggled more! This was a really fun and tasty meal! We wouldn't mind returning! We appreciated the free shared parking, convenient restroom, and beautiful, clean environment!
