    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…

Unlike most Cantonese restaurants which stop dim sum service in the early afternoon, this restaurant actually offers dim sum all day. On top of this, prices were incredibly reasonable across the board, and portions sizes were quite generous as well. Between the seven in our party, we split two orders of siu mai, an order of char siu bao, taro puffs, steamed spare ribs, an jelly fish appetizer, a plate of char siu, steamed gai lan with oyster sauce, and stir fried noodles with beef. The quality of dim sum is quite good. The siu mai was tender and larger than your average piece of siu mai. The spare ribs were meaty, tender, and didn't contain too much fatty, grisly parts. The only dish that could've been better was the char siu pork, which I felt was too lean, and lacked a bit of flavor. To be honest, lean pork is actually what some folks prefer, so your milage may vary here. The dish that I enjoyed the most was the stir fried noodles with beef. The beef was incredibly tender -- likely the result of velveting with cornstarch, the noodles were well-seasoned, and garnish of raw bean sprouts provided a nice crunchy texture to the dish. This dish was so large, there was enough for everyone to go back for seconds. If you're looking for a Chinese spot that serves tasty food without breaking the bank, H K Cafe is a wonderful option. I would gladly stop by here again.

It was so bad that I had to spit it out immediately. I called the server over to let them know because I didn't want anyone else to eat it. The response I got was that "maybe the hot weather made it taste like that." That explanation was disappointing. If the food has gone bad because of the weather, it shouldn't be served to customers in the first place. I've eaten enough to know the difference between fresh food and spoiled food, and this definitely tasted off. This was my first experience like this at HK, and it left a really bad impression. I hope they pay closer attention to food quality and freshness so other customers don't have the same experience.

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.
