    Kung Pao Lunch Special
    Ma S.

    Mr. Chen's is the neighborhood restaurant that you'll want to eat at for your entire life. The food is delicious, extremely affordable, and the owners are incredibly kind. Mr. Chen's recently got new ownership about six months ago, and it has quickly become my go-to lunch spot. Their lunch menu allows you to select one protein, fried rice, and an egg roll--all for under $10. In this economy, it's hard to find such delicious food at this price point; it's amazing. You can't beat it. Everything here is so good and tasty. It's a traditional Chinese-American restaurant that operates efficiently and affordably. I guarantee there isn't a better lunch option anywhere nearby. Just trust me.

    Black Pepper Beef. Melt in your mouth delicious
    Jerry P.

    Had the Black pepper beef today. It was melt in your mouth good So far everything I have had here has been so good. Today while I was eating, a fellow yelper sat in the booth behind me. I could hear him talk and he came in because of my reviews. He also said the food was delicious. Thank you yelpers for giving this place to try. You will not be sorry that you did. The food is that good. Please let them know that Jerry sent you ha ha.

    mar far chicken, pork fried rice and spring rolls with a side of sweet and sour sauce.

    My first time at Mr. Chen's Kitchen...was an amazing experience...the food/service/pricing and huge portions were excellent...the owner was amazing...the place was very clean which is a bonus for me...I highly recommend this place for a nice quiet relaxing atmosphere...

    Crab Puffs
    Dharla H.

    Food and service was great, my family and I enjoyed it very much. We ordered spicy shrimp Lo Mein, spicy beef broccoli, sesame chicken, spicy house fried rice, and the crab puffs. We enjoyed the option of making our food spicy. Very tasty, I recommend coming here.

    Ellie M.

    Very nice place. I LOVE the tangy chicken. Has a nice kick to it and the pork fried rice is the best I've ever had. If I lived in the area I'd definitely come again.

    The dining area, very clean.

It also suffers slightly from that association, as one might consider it "hospital food", with all of its sordid associations. Thankfully, I can confirm there's nothing to worry about here. It's not "top shelf" sushi, by any means, but what they offer is still delicious, prepared competently and quickly, and priced affordably. My wife and I dined here after an entire half-day spent in a series of appointments and check-ups, and were famished by the time we wandered over to check this place out (we'd been meaning to ever since our last extended visit to OHSU). Among the multiple rolls in our order, the Miso Sexy and the Valentine rolls stood out among our favorites; they also make a decent miso soup here, too: not too watery, not too strong, but just right! As my wife is pregnant (again!), I know another visit to Momiji is on the horizon, as we will definitely be delivering at OHSU again. When that time comes, there's no doubt I'll be sneaking out of the delivery room, skipping the cafeteria, and making a bee-line straight for this place, likely smuggling a spicy tuna hand roll or two back with me (my wife's favorite).

I was looking for food nearby and came across this restaurant. The food was surprisingly delicious! We ordered the chicken katsu curry, kama-age udon (hokkai miso soup), and the kama-meshi seafood. The chicken katsu was cooked perfectly: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside! The sauce also was the perfect texture and taste. My favorite was the kama-age udon with the hokkai miso soup. I love udon but sometimes don't like how thick it is because it fills you up faster and is harder to digest, the udon here is thinner which I fell in love with! It's soft and chewy and the perfect thickness: you dip it on the soup when you eat it. I also loved the soup, I usually have leftover soup when eat noodles, but I finished every last sip! Definitely recommend this dish if you were to only order one item! We also ordered the kama-meshi seafood. I thought this one tasted okay! The flavors of the seafood come through, but I personally like stronger and heavier flavors. It was worth a try! Parking: This restaurant is in downtown portland so it was difficult to find parking. We ended up parking at a nearby garage and paid for parking. They do have a few street parking spots near the restaurant if you want to test your luck! Seating and service: We were seated really quickly as we went on a weekday! They have several tables and a large table that can be reserved as well as bar spots. The restaurant overall looks really nice and is pretty spacious. The servers were really nice and fast to get you what you need! A side note: they have heated toilet seats in their restroom so that's always a plus!

With that being said, I do think that the food could use a bit more work. The restaurant is called Luc Lac, and so naturally I ordered their namesake dish. The beef was not very tender or juicy and the flavors overall seemed to be lacking. Portion sizes, however, are very generous, so I'll give them that. I tried the Durian Horchata and sadly could not taste any durian flavor. I know that durian can be an acquired taste (and smell), but the drink just tasted like a regular horchata with some hints of pandan. Maybe I will return to try their cocktails.

The fried rice's flavor was pretty muted..I prefer a little saltiness in my fried rice and it honestly had barely any salt? It tasted like plain rice with a little soy sauce and maybe oil flavor? Just not very aromantic in general.. I disliked the Mandarin Crispy Chicken the most as I had an issue with the breading. It was very thick and each bite felt more breading than chicken..The flavor of the sauce was good but with how thick the breading was, the inside of the chicken had no flavor at all once I bit in.. Perhaps we ordered the wrong items, but I don't think I'll be back to try any others at least for now. It was a Friday night so it was busy but I'll say service was good and we had a minimal wait time!

With the plethora of eats to choose from, a friendly/efficient staff and service, and in or outdoor seating available, Elephants Delicatessen is a spot that's a must visit when you're in this fun city!

There's a sandwich/soup station, a pizza station, a hot foods station (for burgers & specialties), a cold deli station for cold salads/sides, and a bar/barista inside for adult beverages or coffee. Additionally, there's an area to purchase bottled wine and jams/jellies. Grab whatever items you order and pay at the register. If you order from a station, bring your ticket with you as that's where you get charged. Pretty much any type of deli flavor you're looking for, you can find it here. Some of my favorites involve the following: -Teriyaki Chicken Wings -Curried Chickpea Salad -Reuben Sandwich -Tomato Bisque -Corn & Crab Chowder -Broccoli Salad -Turkey and Avocado Sandwich -Pizza Slices (All of them!) I'm sure there's plenty of items I'm missing but those are the ones that stood out to me since I've eaten them multiple times. The staff is very helpful and move efficiently with all the orders flying around. As for seating, there's plenty of seating indoors or you can sit on the patio area outside. Also kid friendly too if you've got the little ones with you. One of Portland's finest eating spots!
