    Cold seafood including snow crab
    Gene W.

    Wanted to try this Asian buffet tucked in the corner of the Strip mall on 122nd & Division for awhile. There's basically only one reason to come to places like this: to fill up on generic Asian dishes & seafood. Atmosphere was pretty sterile with Travelogues showing on a big screen & cafeteria-style seating. Place was busy on a Saturday afternoon but there's plenty of tables. Tables were bussed frequently and the buffet table was replenished as needed. The variety of items was standard for Asian buffets with a wide selection of Chinese entrees, sushi, soups, noodles, fried items, desserts & fresh & cooked seafood. Most of the items were meh to very good, but the standout item was surprisingly the fried frog legs (lightly battered & delicious). The snow crab legs were also decent sized. For roughly $25/each for dinner (less for lunch though seafood items may be fewer), you can definitely get your $$ worth, especially now with the cost of eating out sky-rocketing.

    Tasty!! Not a super fancy buffet, well stocked with mostly Asian fare - mapu tofu, spicy eggplant plant stirfry, grilled/ baked/ fried fish, shrimp and clams stirfry, veggie options, noodles rice, soups - a cold salad bar ( with cold chicken feet of course) sushi, fruit - too many to name all of them- the Mongolian beef, mapu tofu were my favorites although I did try some cold you-peel shrimps, and the orange chicken looked inviting! Other fare included pizza, garlic bread, vanilla & chocolate pudding, cake slices - and my other favorite was the cold tapioca & taro "soup" dessert. Took pictures of our plates / and a really good hot n sour soup ( zesty, with a great consistency, better than the sit down restaurant we go to!) Very clean, and the clientele of mostly older Asian uncles and aunties on a Monday afternoon tells you food is gonna be good!

    The ambience with calm music reminds me my app for meditation, they have a huge screen with videos about forest, mountains etc and then the food is delicious and you can taste the food was made for traditional Asian cuisine, I really enjoyed and recommend this place with a very affordable price on weekday

    The food was tasty and fresh during the lunch hour. Likewise, the service was good too. I enjoyed the variety of options and the spacious seating. I'd definitely return!

    We heard mixed reviews about this place, but decided to finally try it because we love buffets. From outside it doesn't look very big but when you go inside, the space is pretty large. The staff is very friendly and they're very busy making quick rounds to keep everything clean. Dinner is a pretty good price being a little over $20 with drink included for dinner . There is a good selection of food, a little more than your typical buffet place with all the normal Asian cuisine's . They're cooked oysters are really plump and juicy and there's a lot of mussels with the Mayo cheese topping. The cold section had a lot of roisters, rock, crab, and lots and lots of sashimi. Overall in the Portland area, I would maybe consider this the best buffet place.

    The venue was spacious. The staff displayed friendliness and took away empty plates very fast. However, the food quality left room for improvement. During my initial plate, three out of the four items were cold, with one being unchewable. The second time I went for food was the same. Some dishes seemed less than fresh and remained unreplenished, probably because there weren't many customers there. When more people came, they started getting more food out including new items. I finally got to eat some fresh food but I was almost full. Many dishes lacked flavor, and the beef was consistently hard to chew. Among the choices, the chicken skewer was my favorite.

    Sweet and sour soup, chocolate brownie, a piece of orange chicken, and fried plantains.

Since we had our dog with us, we ordered everything to go and enjoyed it back at our hotel just down the street. Just a heads up if you're planning the same, there wasn't any outdoor dining available. Being from the SF Bay Area, one of the first things we looked for was Har Gow and Siu Mai, but they weren't labeled the way we're used to. After asking, we found out the Crystal Shrimp Dumplings are their Har Gow, and the Shrimp Siu Mai contains pork, which was exactly what we were looking for. We ordered two of each. We also ordered two Beef Chow Fun, Combination Fried Rice, Eggplant with Minced Pork, Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs, and three pear sodas. The dim sum absolutely hit the spot. The Har Gow and Siu Mai were well seasoned, nicely prepared, and exactly what we had been craving. The Beef Chow Fun was another winner. We were glad we ordered two because we found ourselves reaching for it more than the fried rice. The Eggplant with Minced Pork was also delicious. The eggplant was cooked perfectly -- tender without becoming mushy -- and the seasoning was right on point. I'm also glad we changed our order from the House Special Spare Ribs to the Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs. Unlike many versions, these weren't battered and fried, so the pork maintained a great texture while still being coated in a flavorful sweet and sour sauce. One unexpected favorite was the pear soda. It's made with Asian pear, so the flavor is much lighter and more refreshing than the sweeter pear sodas we're used to. The only hiccup? They're bottled with a traditional cap, and since we were staying in a hotel, we quickly realized we didn't have a bottle opener. Let's just say we got a little creative. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed our large takeout order and packed it thoughtfully. They included six extra takeout containers, plenty of forks, chopsticks, and napkins, which ended up being incredibly helpful since we were eating in a hotel room with no paper plates or utensils. It's a small gesture, but one that definitely didn't go unnoticed. Overall, we were really happy with our meal. This place lived up to being on my bookmark list for over a year, and I'd happily come back the next time we're staying in downtown Portland.

The service was good and the staff was attentive during our visit. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered: Hand-Ripped Youpoo Noodle: The absolute star of the meal. The wide, hand-ripped noodles had the perfect chewy texture you look for. They were tossed in a deeply savory, slightly spicy chili oil sauce and topped with a generous amount of perfectly seasoned minced beef and fresh bok choy. It was incredibly satisfying and a must-order. Popcorn Chicken: This was a bit of a letdown. While it looked golden brown and came with a sweet chili dipping sauce, it was not special at all and lacked any unique flavor or punch compared to the other dishes. Spicy Chili Oil Wontons: These were packed with flavor! The wonton wrappers were delicate, and the filling was juicy. They were swimming in a robust, aromatic chili oil that had a nice kick and a touch of vinegar sharpness. Why 4 stars instead of 5? While the noodles and wontons were excellent and the service was good, the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable. The restaurant was completely empty when we went, but it was super cold inside because the window was wide open. Between the chilly draft and the fairly generic popcorn chicken, it misses out on a full 5 stars.
