Incredibly quick takeout, and real good (not great) food. I recommend the hot and sour soup highly. I wish there were steamed potstickers instead of fried, but the filling was TASTY. Why is it that takeout main dishes never have the really prominent flavor of a sit-down dish? I like to get individual flavors of the peppers and onion, and they just assimilate. 6 chopsticks out of 10. read more

Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant! Staff was friendly and provided personalized service and food preparation. How hot would you like that Mongolian beef? Nuclear? You got it! And it was as ordered. Hard time deciding between egg flower and hot and sour soup? How about we mix them. We were a party of four and everyone love their meals. The leftovers were enough for two more equally tasty meals. We'll we back the next time we're passing through. read more

After a long day of driving my wife found Hot Point Chinese Restaurant on Yelp and based on the reviews we tried it. My family of five enjoyed their soups, their appetizers and the entrees. We eat very good Chinese food on a nearly weekly basis. My kids (19, 15, 10) stated that if this restaurant was local to us it would be our new favorite. The meats and vegetables were all fresh and tasty. Always a great sign. Exceptional service and attention to the customer by each member of their staff, my family felt welcomed, nourished and relaxed. After so many mediocre experiences over a 16 day, nearly 5 thousand mile road trip these folks really hit a home run with our family. If you find yourself anywhere near The Dalles do yourself a favor and enjoy their great food and hospitality. Food portions were great (and leftovers travelled home and were promptly consumed). Price is right. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic Chinese food with great service Doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is great!! If you're in the Hood River/ Dalles area this place is fantastic!!! read more

Service was great. I wanted hot and sour soup and veggies. General tsao chicken. Everyone loved it. We were passing through on a holiday trip. read more

The food was disappointing. Hot and sour soup was inedible. The spring rolls were bad, nothing like a true spring roll. Sweet and sour prawns were more breading than prawn. The Mongolian beef was the only edible dish. I will not go back. I don't recommend. read more

We had planned on going camping up at Maryhill State Park and the closer we got the worse the air quality got. We drove by an active fire and both our throats started to burn a bit and our eyes were also stinging. We finally arrived at the state park and we checked the AQI (Air Quality Index) and the reading was 134. FYI, an AQI above 100 is quite unhealthy. So we decided to head home but while on the way up we decided to see what the restaurant situation was like and Yelpers had given Hot Point some really good reviews and I'd been craving house lo mein for a while now so I decided to scratch that itch. It's a very unassuming location but once you open the door, you are rewarded with an amazing aroma suggesting you are in for a delightful meal. I love 1/2 and 1/2 egg flower and hot & sour soup and I was very much impressed and thought to myself that we were in for a very astounding meal. We ordered the house lo mein, snow pea beef add broccoli, honey walnut shrimp, and curry chicken. We hadn't really witnessed any dishes coming out so we were unsure of the portions. Holy cow, the food came out filling up each plate and almost overflowing. Usually when they serve huge portions, the flavor is lacking. That was not the case at all. My lo mein was fantastic, great shew from the noodles and all the veggies were cooked to perfection and quite flavorful. My gf damn near at the honey walnut shrimp prison style by wrapping her free arm around the plate guarding it because it was that rudely delicious. The sauce borders on what I would imagine crack to be like as you kept stabbing your fork to eat more of this amazing dish. I love snow peas and with the beef sauce and the broccoli intermixed, each forkful was such a treat. The curry chicken noodles had enormous depth to this dish. We left with leftovers enough for two additional meals. Please treat yourselves to this gem. Sadly now we have to compare this to our local Chinese restaurants knowing Hot Point demolishes anything we have locally. I apologize for not getting more photos as we were both really tired and irritated from all the smoke. read more

Service was very good. Nice hostess, cook came out and checked on us. Was expecting a lot given reviews. Potstickers were okay, nothing special. A "B"Hot and sour soup was good, an "A minus"The eggdrop soup was bland and very odd because it was loaded with corn and peas, and given with soda crackers if wanted, something I've never seen with Chinese soup. Not good, a "D". We ordered the honey walnut shrimp, but did not expect the shrimp and broccoli covered with a sweet white honey sauce. The shrimp were fresh, and strangely worked with the sauce. It was a "B". Last, Szechuan beef was ordered medium hot, was very mild, had to ask for chili flake sauce to try to heat it up. Decent amount of beef, but huge amount of onions and peppers that overwhelmed. I graded it a "B". Also, they give you only a fork in a napkin. I had to ask for a knife to cut the huge fried shrimp in half. Place is clean, prices very reasonable. Again, staff super nice. Food was mediocre. read more

Yelp rated this highly, so I had lunch here. A good basic Chinese restaurant with a somewhat limited lunch special menu, so I chose from the regular menu. Food decent enough, probably all the better-seeming because this is a smaller city far from the urban bustle. read more

Great place! Friendly smiling staff! We had the hot & sour soup (excellent balance of flavors) and the House Plate (appetizer sampler). Spring rolls (fresh & light), fried shrimp, crab puffs (homemade) and bbq pork (very tender). We'll definitely come back when in the area! read more

Old style, cozy small restaurant with friendly staff. Food is okay, but not as good as those Chinese restaurants in Portland.

Food so delicious good vibes always welcoming ppl with a positive and amazing attitude definitely going there again

Lol...alright I simply loved this place...Hot Point! I was just finishing up my journey along wonderful 74 mile Columbia River Gorge Drive. Here I was in the small town called The Dalles. It was the end of the day and I was just looking for a simple and quiet/casual Chinese Restaurant. Well...Hot Point absolutely delivered...perfect for being a cozy/quaint little hidden and tucked away Chinese Food eatery. I am so glad I came here! From the outside appearance in the parking lot...I was a little hesitant about what Hot Point would look like on the inside...but I guess as the saying goes..."looks can be deceiving!" Opening the door and on the interior...Hot Point had this homely and inviting feel to it that reassured me I made the correct choice for eating here. I'd say most of the tables inside were booths (which most diners prefer) along with a few random tables situated all around. I was greeted by my friendly waitress/server. Before I go into any details...she was so nice and attentive to me...I believe I left her a $10 tip for her kindness. She was just one memorable aspect to Hot Point. I felt very at ease being here...especially during this pandemic where a lot of restaurants don't even offer dine-in service. The menu featured almost every sort of Asian Cuisine item you could think of. I believe I photographed 3 of the pages...but there could have been more, lol. For me eating alone...I specifically went to the Combination Dinner Page where they offered 1 of 4 options to choose from. As you'd expect they were all complete meals with soup included from $9.95 - $12.50. For 2 or more patrons there were Family Dinner Combinations as well for $14 per person. For me...Combo Dinner #4 really stood out. I was sold on it. For $12.50, it was BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Chicken with Broccoli, Fried Shrimp and BBQ Pork. Wow...it wasn't just say....chicken and broccoli as the feature/main dish protein...it was 4 separate combinations encompassing the entire plate! So I'm trying to say...yes, chicken and broccoli, fresh shrimp, layers upon layers of lean cut BBQ pork and fried rice. It was beyond a lot of food! I mean...when you say they "filled up the plate"...that would be an understatement, hehehe. The portion size was tremendous! I absolutely needed a take-home container. I finished probably half the meal. And...this was also where I had a cup of egg-drop soup for a starter with Chinese Noodles served complimentary. For $12.50...it was a bargain! Best of all...ya know...you can find your customary Chinese Restaurant anywhere and everywhere all over the country...but seriously...the food at this Hot Point was outstanding! The chicken and broccoli was picture perfect (lol, even look at my photo!) and these long slices of BBQ Pork were such an unexpected and pleasant surprise. The pork had zero fat on it! It was lean and tender. Also I had 4 giant pieces of breaded shrimp. The jumbo shrimp were a great highlight...no fishiness to them. Finally, the fried rice paired wonderfully with everything. So...here I go again, lol...for $12.50 I got heaping servings of chicken, broccoli, shrimp, pork, rice, cup of soup and crispy Chinese Noodles...I couldn't go wrong with all this. Yes...for my first time ever visiting this random city in Oregon called The Dalles...Hot Point ended my day on the perfect note. I simply can't say enough good things about this place...from the ambiance and setting, friendliest of servers, prices, portion sizes, tastiness and cooking of the food I'd put this place down for 6 stars! Finally and just after coming from driving the Columbia River Gorge and witnessing Waterfall Alley (some of the greatest waterfalls in the USA) I was truly having so much fun on my cross country journey. I will fondly remember this whole Pacific Northwest section of the United States along my travels. read more

So, wanted Sushi in The Dalles, but the restaurant was closed, for good, even though their website shows they're open. Found this restaurant on Yelp, always use this app. Reviews looked great. Parking lot was full, and when we walked in the restaurant was 80 percent filled. The smells of food was inviting. We ordered the #3 combination; crab puffs, shrimp, fried rice, Kung Pao chicken and sweet & sour pork. All the food was hot, looked great, smelled great, and tasted great ! Service was outstanding, including the owner who was working the floor. Large portions, we ordered one meal and split, taking some home. We will definitely return when we visit The Dalles again. read more

Average greasy Chinese. Alrigjt id that is your thing. Fried oysters are good. Funny kid waiting tables. Made it more interesting.

The best we have had in a long time! Great service and with a smile. Food was plentiful. read more

Great customer service. Food was out to me fast and was super hot and fresh even as take out. Asked for extra spicy but most places don't make it hot enough for me anyway, but they gave me lots of hot chili oil so that made up for it. Am just visiting for work, but would stop here again. read more

So so good!! Annie was the sweetest thing and the food was exactly what you pay for. Huge portions and delicious taste. Would definitely come back! Vegan friendly too :) read more

Hot Point Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - The Dalles, Oregon

Quick service and generous portions of tasty food! We had the lunch special of general tso's chicken: the chicken was perfectly cooked and really was one of the best general shows I've had. Very basic as far as the ambience, but who cares! Excellent value and our fellow yelpers really called it right on this one. read more

Wow!! Not only is this restaurant a FANTASTIC VALUE, but it's also delicious! We placed an order to go to take back to our hotel and it was ready in 15 minutes. Husband and I selected the family meal for two and chose the chicken lo mien and sweet and sour chicken as the entrees. The meal came with soooo much food!! Appetizers included two amazing egg rolls, four crab puffs, BBQ pork, and superb hot and sour soup. The meal also came with pork fried rice. We added an extra appetizer of 6 more crab puffs and the entire bill was only $38!! When was the last time you got an overstuffed Chinese food container that had to be taped shut to close it?! Enough said people. If you like Chinese food, this is must try spot. read more

Hot Point Chinese Restaurant - Orange Chicken, Pork fried Rice and the best Spring Roll ever! - Chinese Near Me - The Dalles, Oregon

Wonderfully flavored food in generous portions served by a very pleasant, long time resident of the community. Previous reviews were correct. The building is older and the interior isn't fancy, but the experience in total was superb! We were vacationing, but if we were local it would be our favorite spot for Chinese! read more

Very friendly and courteous. They let my wife use the WIFI to run a class while I ate, and were thoughtful and considerate. Very large portions with fresh vegetables and good seasonings. I'm sensitive to MSG, and I was a bit worried because everything was so flavorful, but I had no reaction so apparently, they use little or no MSG. Two of us got through about 2/3 of the Kung Pao tofu. Not a lot of choice for vegetarians--tofu fried rice, Kung Pao tofu and deluxe veggies, but what they do have is quite good. read more

We decided to give it a shot after hearing so many good reviews!! We were not disappointed!! We got curry chicken, sweet and sour chicken and egg flower soup!! All was delicious!! Will be back for sure!! And did I mention the customer service is AMAZING!!! read more

Hot Point Chinese Restaurant - Curry Chicken - Chinese Near Me - The Dalles, Oregon

REALLY good food & service. I'll proabaly go back every week. This is the best asian food Iz've had in a decade & very reasonably priced!!!

It's a Chinese restaurant, in The Dalles, with video lottery so I kept my expectations accordingly. I was completely blown away by how friendly the server (owner?) was. It made me realize how used to rude service I've gotten. We got there an hour before close and she was so genuinely kind and friendly- my partner and I both remarked about it multiple times when we left. Someone from boh came out and was talking to a table and he was also so friendly! It really left an impression. The food was good, large portions. We got the special where you get a ton of stuff for $17 each. You pick two entrees and get a few apps and a soup. We will absolutely be back. read more

I happened upon this restaurant after checking local Yelp reviews while staying in The Dalles. Don't let the non-descript exterior fool you, they have damn good food here. We were helped right away and the food came almost as soon as we ordered it. The portions were huge and both entrees were full of flavor, vegetables and meat. I've been to Chinese restaurants where a lot of the dishes tend to taste the same, not here. Each dish was flavorful and distinctly different from the other (Kung Pao chicken & broccoli beef). Prices are reasonable and the food and service is excellent! read more

Excellent service and great food at a good value! This will be a regular stop for us!

Stopped by this place off of 84. Stay on the freeway and eat in Portland. Ordered the house lo mien. Nothing to write home about. The size of the shrimp was the highlight of the dish. The rest looks like left over meat converted to strips that are added to this dish. read more

Have been going there fairly steadily for two years now. Sort of our 'go-to' for Asian food in The Dalles. Never disappointing; staff are friendly; the place is always clean; food is cooked just right, no soggy veggies, and they try to work with you re specializing a dish. Only thing that could make it a tad better is what's described in the menu doesn't always show up with all the vegetables listed (I'm a vegetarian so I'm really into veggies). Otherwise, no serious issues, happy to return there again and again. read more

Thanks to Yelp we tried High Point! To be honest if it weren't for the good reviews we might have passed this by. My wife and I weren't terribly hungry so we opted for the "Senior Special", great food and way more than we could finish. The service was prompt and friendly. Could not ask for more! And less expensive than any fast food joint. read more

The food was great and the staff was absolutely amazing!! We had a service dog with us and they were very accommodating. Provided water and doted on him. Will stop again when in The Dalles!! read more

Second time in town, second time eating here. Some of the best chicken fried rice I've had and customer service is hands down the friendliest. Come visit this establishment. Meet the nice family that runs it. Annie is a smiling face and efficient. I'll be back. read more
