    Greasy, burnt mu shu pork, with oil I poured off. Disgusting!
    C W.

    Absolutely awful! Everything is overly sweet, including the hot and sour soup (which also had an "off" fishy taste). My shu pork was overcooked to mush, burnt when they reheated it and swimming in oil. General TSO chicken just a boatload of mushy fried chicken chunks bathed in some syrupy sauce. Portions are big, probably because they figure the folks up around here just care about getting their guts lined. So it's off to Portland if you want decent Chinese.

    The people are nice in here but the food-- total no go. My parents lived in China and we grew up with a Chinese community and friends in California so having grown up with legit Chinese food we have a soft spot for good Chinese. Stopped here to try it out to see if it could somewhat fulfill a craving. Ordered kungpao chicken and general tsos tofu. To be honest was not expecting anything amazing, I don't have super high standards when it comes to asian food in this area but oh my goodness it was bad. The kungpao chicken was not even kungpao chicken, just tasted like chicken with celery and peppers with a handful of peanuts sprinkled on top. The General tsos tofu sauce was horrible, basically just a sugar sauce on tofu and perhaps the most disappointing-- the rice wasn't even cooked properly (undercooked). All this for $24... like I said I didn't have high standards but come on. To be honest I've had better at Panda Express. No plans to return and don't recommend for people looking for food to fulfill that craving.

    Food and flavor were average. The price was high for the quality of the food. Service was okay. Restaurant needs updating.

    We had a wonderful dinner experience here. Good service and a pleasant atmosphere. We ordered a…read morebunch of food in waves so that we could enjoy things as they came out. An excellent third stop on our impromptu culinary tour of Portland, and our party grew from two to four. I had the Shanghai cowboy cocktail, the bourbon hits, and you can definitely taste the mint more than the guava. 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! The toddler had an order of steamed noodles. I definitely forgot a few photos, but the food was just so good!!

    This is an awesome little restaurant. Its got plants everywhere and cool asian inspired trellises…read morefor them to climb on - there is a good mix of high top and low top seating, a bar area that looks like it could be part of a speakeasy - dark, and eclectic , anyways, while I appreciate all that - how did the food stack up? 3 things to go over - Lobster rangoon, Duck Bao Buns and Orange beef. Lobster rangoon, order them yesterday. They're absolutely amazing. Little sweet, little tangy, rich, very light exterior, plenty of filling; they checked all the boxes. I wish an order came with double! (I wouldn't judge if you put in a double order). The Duck Bao, for me, would be a pass for next time. They were good- just not standout. The bao bun itself was very nice and pillowy, just as you'd want, so they are working with a great foundation. I just wanted a little more out of the flavor for the duck. Maybe it could have used some freshness in there, there was a touch of scallion and some soy based sauce in there but could have benefited from some veg like shredded carrot or daikon or something else. Either that or it would have needed to lean even harder into the umami, caramel- deep flavors. Onto the orange beef. I didn't know how to feel about this when it was first put in front of me. The portion seemed okay, but I realized as I kept eating, the pile of beef wasn't going down as quick as I thought it would (good problem to have!) the beef was crisp, the orange flavor was tangy and sweet - it was really tasty. Beef wasn't tough but also wasn't super tender. Not good nor bad. My only complaint here is that there could have been a little more bok choy and the rice was not very easy to eat with chopsticks. It was a jasmine rice from what it seemed and it didn't have any starch to stick together at all. To pick it up I was having to press the beef into the rice to stick it all together. Not super easy to eat but maybe its just a me problem.
