Came in later on in the evening on a Tuesday and loved our late dinner! Everything was flavorful, food came out quick, and staff were super attentive! The decor is so cute as well, the bright yellow is fun. Pleasantly surprised we were allowed to order the half duck so late in the day! I would come back for sure. read more

Peking . Been wanting this dish for Christmas din din since I first saw a Christmas Story. Soo good. Take the crispy duck with a little meat on the skin, put it in the soft bao bun with some sliced cucumber and some hoisin sauce. Wham o. That's a fried donut with condensed milk Oh and it comes with the rest of the meat diced up with some veggies and lettuce to wrap and eat. We were finished eating the skin, ready to la and they rolled out the meat :/. We asked for it to go. Remember you get this fish as well when you order the duck! Will be back. Was told they did 100 ducks for this past year! read more

We came in for lunch thinking there's a lunch special (saw a menu and didn't look at the date). There's only one other table and this place is really more of a dinner or bigger party place because the portions are family size. We ordered the fried rice and seafood with Japanese tofu. They're both good and met my expectations. It'll be my meal for the next couple days too! Next time, I'll return with more people so we can try more dishes. read more

We ordered the Spring Rolls, Beef Chow Fun, BBQ Pork Fried Rice and Chicken Broccoli through delivery so I can't speak to the friendliness or cleanliness of the restaurant. The food was ready on time and delivered. The spring rolls were good and but didn't stand out. The Chicken and broccoli was really good - tender chicken, crisp broccoli with a mild sauce. The beef chow fun was good. The BBQ pork fried rice was great! So much BBQ pork in the rice which was very flavorful. The portions are pretty big so get ready for leftovers. We'll definitely come again read more

Mr personally, greeting us with we don't serve lunch. Charged us extra for two small cups of rice. Food was just about average, expected a little more for the price. They won't be receiving a visit from us again, and with his attitude I'm sure they don't care. read more

This was so bland and oily, the general tso's chicken was bland, the sweet and sour pork, bland and the salt and pepper ribs bland greasy and tough. Fried rice was okay just barely. read more

Flavors were lacking in several of the dishes, even the simple vegetable stir fries. No flavor with the deep fried squid. Pricier than comparable restaurants. Average portions. Small parking lot. Seating is more than the parking lot is able to a read more

Some of the best Chinese food in Portland! I absolutely loved the sweet and sour chicken--crispy, tangy, and just the right amount of sweetness. It's definitely my favorite dish here!

Happy Dragon provided us with a nice, old-school dining experience that took me back to my childhood. A friend had discovered this place on a lunch hour exploration, and suggested it for a family style dinner destination. Each of the four of us chose an entree, (Mandarin Beef, Sautéed Green Beans, Kung Pao Chicken, and a black fungus, snow pea and yam veggie plate) and we piled on the unsurprising extras of an appetizer combo, a huge shared bowl of hot and sour soup, and rice. Service was super-quick - my friend had arrived first, and put in the order for the appetizer combo before we arrived. By the time we were putting in the order for everything else, the appetizers were arriving, and everything else began showing up before we finished the appetizers. read more

Took forever to get waited on, and the testraunt was practically empty. Undoubtedly the worst Chinese food that my husband and I have ever had. Everything fried (shrimp, spring rolls etc), was doughy and slimy. The BBQ pork was not even meat, is was some kind of fried fat, my husband said it had the consistency of coagulated jello. They have no family style meals, you just have to buy huge plates of food, that are very expensive, and you don't even get rice with an entree. The meat was anyone's guess. Strangest textures I have ever had. This was all together a horrible experience. read more

Fried rice: Something about the texture of the rice I liked. It was kinda chewy and satisfying. It could have had more of a crispy, fried texture though. And it was underseasoned. I liked the way the egg was cooked though. It was light, thin, and not overcooked, if that makes sense. General tsos chicken: The chicken was pretty good. Not stringy, not dry. It wasn't too crispy though. And the sauce was disappointing: pretty sweet; too salty in a weird way; not much else. Price: A little on the expensive side. $19 for the general tsos, $16 for the fried rice. $20 for the honey walnut shrimp (for my girlfriend). Portions were normal, not the type of situation where it's expensive but portions are large enough where you have another meal of leftovers. read more

Solid, went there on Christmas and the Asian lady server kicked ass! Seriously she was rocking and rolling all the time we were there. They did a solid plus job the whole way though. Stiff drinks no issues with the food at all. Good serving size sweet and sour pork. Ribs were way too sweet. Meaning that's all we tasted. Was sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet. But we took them home and modified them and they ended up pretty fantastic after modification. The Mongolian beef was spicy and tasty with no issues whatsoever. The potstickers were exactly what you would want them to be. read more

There's potential here but needs a lot of work. Firstly no one will go if the outside looks like it does. Clean up the weeds. Wash the walls and repaint. Fix the windows. It looks like it's vacated outside. Food was great on some dishes and poor with others. Beef Chow Fun 5/5 Yang Chow Rice 5/5 Egg Flower soup 5/5 Potstickers 1/5 Avoid Walnut Shrimp: 0/5. Shocked that they tossed what felt like boiled shrimp in heavy mayo. It's supposed to be fried shrimp and a light sauce. Avoid read more

Last stop on my "The Best Authentic Cantonese Fare in the Portland Metro - 2022" collection. They were closed for a few weeks in January, glad they are open again. I got take out but you are better off dining in. Here is how it scored: Lamb clay pot with bean curd sticks and lettuce: 5/5 fabulous dish Seafood chow fun with XO sauce: 4/5 pretty tasty but the scallops were a little fishy. Combination fried rice: 4/5 a HUGE load of rice and pretty good execution. Beef chow fun: 3/5 where's the beef? :-( This is a good -place for a traditional Cantonese banquet. A little hit or miss on take-out. Check it out. read more

We stumbled across this restaurant when we were passing through Portland. It's Friday noon and it's very quiet, just us and another table. Inside is a bit old school Chinese restaurant vibe but very clean and neat. Amble parking space right outside. We ordered the Peking duck, ginger scallion crab and beef noodles and all super yummy and authentic taste. Especially the Peking duck, there are two ways to eat, one with the soft bun and one with lettuce, super tasty! Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet spot for authentic Chinese food. This is a missing jam and will definitely come back next time visiting Portland. read more

Amazing food and great service. Possibly my new go-to Chinese in Portland. This is a family owned restaurant and dad is the chef in a spotless chefs coat. Daughter Emily is front of the house. We felt very well looked after. Water and tea refilled without asking. We had each dish hot from the wok. The salt and pepper prawns were spicy and salty and burned my fingers at first the way I don't mind at all. Do order The unpeeled!! The green beans were also perfect. Fresh green beans with snap and umami. The noodle soup with roast pork had a lively broth and tender meat. This is their soft opening which explains why the place is not yet packed. Go now before the lines get out of control when they start serving dim sum! read more

Delicious authentic Chinese food. The two course Peking duck and the sizzling black pepper diced beef are particularly amazing. The front dining room is not too glamorous but we go here for the food, not the atmosphere! read more

We love the green beans. Whether it's the garlic or spicy pork. We were disappointed in the salty fish dish. It was not served in a clay pot but in plastic pot and didn't hold the heat or have eggplant. We just don't get that anymore. read more

When you order Peking Duck at a new place, it's a huge gamble. Here it paid off. Some of the best I've had outside of Asia, and I'll be going back. The hot and sour soup takes itself seriously as well. read more

Excellent Chinese food. 4/4 people in our family say it's better than Din Tai Fung. We've eaten traditional Chinese food in Southern California, in Taiwan, and at many other local places - but this one's the best. We were fighting before we got here and everyone enjoyed the food so much that we all left happy. Can't leave a better review than that. read more

Pleasant restaurant with fairly good, standard lunch offerings. Dan had the General Tso's chicken and was impressed with the flavorful fried rice. I opted for the pork with black bean sauce, a dish dominated by chunks of bell pepper. Choice of small cup of soup: hot and sour or egg drop. I would have enjoyed the soup more had it been served hot. The lunch plates include a very forgettable and fairly tasteless small egg roll and a healthy scoop of the very good fried rice. Mixed experience here. The server failed to offer us water. Had he stopped by our table we would have asked him to bring us some. Convenient location. Large parking lot off 82nd. read more

Duck was so full of bones and gristle I couldn't eat it! (The plate on the right shows what you couldn't eat because so much bone, gristle or too tough to chew!). I gave up and left hungry! Not to mention when you did get a piece with actual meat, it was incredibly tough! I felt as if the duck was at least day or two old and reheated. Especially since it was warm but the Bok Choy was ice cold! Also on the duck, The skin was so tough you couldn't bite it in half and still had feathers on it! Disgusting food here!!! Go elsewhere! read more

A first: enjoyed a multi-course meal and did not take one photo. Bad Yelper, bad Yelper. I prefer Hong Kong style Chinese food (not to be confused with Americanized), and here the focus is Cantonese. As a result, ~75% of the customers were Chinese, so Happy Dragon attracts the purists. Taste of Sichuan and Wong's King are my benchmarks. Peking Duck - lacked any fat, and that's the second to best part after the crispy skin. The lotus buns didn't taste fresh, there was a dryness to them and an absence of the airiness you get from ones that are freshly steamed. On a positive, the meat was tender, the skins crisp, and the shrimp chips fresh. Its a worthy re-order dish. Chicken - resembled the duck in terms of taste and skin crisp, it was very good. In fact, if you run out of duck you could substitute with the chicken and make a "sandwich" with the bun, hoisin sauce, and scallions. Crab Soup - bland, but I suppose that's what the white pepper is for. Honey Walnut Prawns - broccoli heavy and too light on the mayo mix (then again, at many places there's often too much mayo.) Whole Crab - the table seemed to enjoy it. There's hardly ever value with this dish, the portion seemed average. Whole Fish - Lots of tender meat so a good value, but the sauce lacked pop. A winner. Fried Rice - I'm very partial to Indonesian Nasi Goreng, there's no flavor here, resembled white rice with peas and carrots. Boring, the table seemed to concur. Noodles (hand pulled?) - oh my, the disappointment of the night. Only about 1/4 was eaten, nobody wanted the leftovers. No flavor and texture was odd. Fresh Fruit - the mango was great; other fruits okay. Peach "soup" Dessert - not a fan. Not at all. Maybe the style they serve just isn't my thing; if you enjoy the heat that comes with Hunan then you might be disappointed here. Service was friendly, plates were cleared, wine and water were filled. Emily was a star. The dining room was full, but not insanely crowded. read more
