    We got the Dew Process, Pandan Express and the United States of Baijiu - of the three my favorite was the Dew Process! It was a very pretty pink and green layered drink topped with edible flowers - beautifully crafted and pretty easy on the palate like a slightly spiked latte! In contrast, the Pandan Express was very boozy and complex with slightly sweet/nutty profile - if you like whiskey-based cocktails, definitely get that. The food menu is limited but has a nice balance of small to large plates. We got the Wok'd rice and Chow wow noodles - the rice had a deliciously charred taste, and the chow wow noodles were thick and chewy, but they were just a little too salty. The ambiance here is dark, moody and romantic. Highly recommend sitting at the bar vs the tables because all three bartenders we interacted with were very friendly and fun!

    This is my second time coming here and it's so lovely for a girl's night out! I've sat at a table and the bar before- either is nice depending on the group size. I do find the bar seating annoying because of how everyone has to go up to the bar to order, so people inevitably will bump into your shoulders and crowd your space. I've had the Dew Point and the Black Sesame Espresso Martini. The Dew Point is like a Melona popsicle bar manifested into a cocktail. The espresso martini was wonderful but I didn't taste any black sesame because the espresso overpowers the mild sesame flavors.

    We started with an espresso martini and a squeeze the rich. Both were fantastic. We shared the egg rolls, dumplings, chow wow noodles, and the general tsos chicken. Everything we ordered was amazing. The egg rolls came with a really tasty hot honey mustard that I honestly wish I could buy a bottle of. We also got their house chili oil and it had a welcoming kick that really dialed up the dumplings. The chow wow noodles were like the best version of a pad see ew type dish I've ever had. The whole experience was great. We'll definitely be back.

    Came here with a small group while visiting Portland. My friend was raving about the Cucumber Salad, and I'm so happy I got to experience this dish! This was easily one of the best cucumber salads I've had--refreshing, balanced in seasoning, and the crunchy onion is amazing on top! The cocktails were so creative--I love a good foamy espresso martini!

    Looking for a late night spot with a date after a show or event? This is pretty solid! Dark, bougie, lounge vibes with some pretty good Chinese food! I couldn't see it very well, but it was delicious! We got a table, but you order at the bar...so maybe sit at the bar. Dumplings and their sauce were the star! Highly recommended! General Tso Chicken pretty good! Portions small with higher price, which matches the spot. I would come again!

    Took my mom here for a m&d date and we both enjoyed our experience! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We went on a friday evening with a reservation (highly recommend having one booked). My only critique is that I wish they had some more dipping sauce options such as sweet chili or anything besides just chili oil. Nonetheless our food was delicious and we can't wait to come back.

    Been here twice and was not disappointed! Great vibes! We had a reservation so we were seated promptly even without having the 4 people all at once. Order was supposed to be placed at the bar which was a little inconvenient. In drinks we got the Dew Process which was sweet but nice, United States of Baijiu and Green Machine were great. Mandarin wings were amazing as always, tofu was greasy but great, honey shrimp was awesome! The silk dumplings were not so great since they were too doughy and I could barely taste the wagyu beef in it. All in all a fun experience!

    When I think of bar food I tend to have low expectations and dannnnng this place knocked my socks off! We had the prawns, noodles, dumplings, as well as the egg rolls and they were all very good. Being Asian myself I'm very picky about Asian cuisine- and I was skeptical of this place but it was exceptional. The bartenders were super kind and sweet too. The ambiance around 6-8pm on a Friday night was just very chill vibes. Would definitely come again

    Nice ambience and drinks. Reminds me of a couple of speakeasies in Vancouver Canada. Trendy, modern and classy. The decor hints being in a train. Street parking. They serve Chinese food that's pretty good. This is a sister bar to Lulu's. The tall burnet female receptionist needs better training to be more accommodating and friendly. We ordered a lot of food and were weary we could not finish before our reservation time. We sat in a larger booth so we had to leave when the next party of 4/5 showed up. There were other empty seats, although reserved for much later. The receptionist could have moved us to the reserved seats because those reservations were scheduled for much later.

    i had been here before and really liked the drink i got, so i came back and got it again. unfortunately, i had a better experience the time before. the space was quite hot so i was a little uncomfortable. it was hard to get my order in despite half of my group getting their order taken right next to me. the food was hyped up to me, but it wasn't very special. i wish the dumplings had more filling. the bartender took my drink when i had one sip left :( that was the most frustrating part of my experience

    Romantic setting with the Sesame Street Colada.

    Awesome night out or end of the evening atmosphere! Yummy Chinese-influenced bites with good options for GF/DF eaters like myself. The cocktails range from classic with a tropical or herbal flair to straight-up tropical and are absolutely delish. The feel is relaxed with the perfect touch of upscale-romantic 1920s-1970s jazz club glam. The music speaks to my soul; it is predominantly a fantastic mix of 30's-70's R&B, soul, blues, and jazz, with a little more modern mixed here and there. The service is expeditious and attentive without being obtrusive. The drink I'm enjoying in the photo I've included is the Sesame Street Colada. It's got a smooth but light creaminess, while still being refreshing with a little zing from the citrus and the perfect hint of sweetness. I highly recommend it. 2026 #3

    Great vibe, food, and drinks. Would recommend and return. I ordered the New Years Special drink and salad - both were good but probably my least favorite. I saw everyone ordering the pandan drink - will have to get that next time. My table loved the egg rolls the most as well as the noodles. I enjoyed the dumplings too. Got there early right before rush without a reservation and was able to walk in. Interesting that you have to order and pay at the bar, was kind of awkward reaching over people who are talking and eating and order over them. Wish there was a section on the bar to stand and order at least so I'm not yelling over someone's head.

    Interior is stunning. I've sat at the bar each time I went and service was always attentive and pleasant. The waygu dumplings are sooo good and the eggrolls taste just like my grandmas! I didn't love the drinks but that won't stop my from coming back and trying new ones. Highly recommend. Plenty of parking around! Update: I came here on New Years Eve and decided to give drinks another chance and OMG the Dew Process is a must have, just exquisite!

The ambiance is very tropical and fun, and love that they have such a spacious bathroom! They have an extensive drinks menu, like several pages long!

The drinks were so creamy and delicious yet dangerously strong! Also, can we talk about the portion sizes? My drink was literally the size of my face, like what?!! It is best to come here in large groups because their shared drinks/scorpion bowls are a total showstopper!

Unfortunately, oysters are only available on Sundays, but we decided to grab a couple of other little snacks instead.

We also tried the sardine plate, which was such a fun little snack. The tzatziki sauce surprisingly paired so well with the Spanish sardines and really pulled everything together. Spanish sardines with a Middle Eastern-inspired sauce? Pretty clever! Our server was also lovely and came out to check on us throughout our visit, which made the experience even better.

We even asked our waitress if we can keep the leftover olive oil to use it with the bread we ordered lol The oysters were also fantastic. They were barbecued, which isn't something you see every day. A little drier than a raw oyster, but still full of flavor. Limited seating so be sure to call ahead of time for a reservation if need be. This feels like the kind of place you celebrate something special, and honestly, I would not mind spending a birthday here at all! Worth it. btw the alleyway walking up to this place is so charming.
