We came in with a group of 17 and Jason took care of everything! Appreciate your hospitality and attentiveness sir!

Just hosted a birthday dinner for 12 here. There are no bad dishes. You have to try the handmade soup dumplings and the noodle dishes. Everything comes out hot and fresh with great flavor? Our family dines here often. Do yourself a favor and forego the excessive wait time and preciousness of Din Tai Fung. This place has a more relaxed atmosphere and best of all, they can accommodate larger parties without a hassle. Our waiter Jason was awesome. We'll be back again, and again. read more

What I ordered from here: -garlic green beans -shrimp and pork xiao long bao -green onion pancake -fried rice -salt and pepper chicken wings -chili wontons This is located in china town and we found street parking right outside. In a weekday it wasn't busy which was convenient for quick seating and service. We came in here with wanting to try a lot on their menu because it was a recommended spot! The garlic green beans were tasty and came with white rice (lunch special). I loved the chili wontons and pork and shrimp xiao long bao the most. Portions were large and perfect for shareables. What I wouldn't order again would be the salt and pepper chicken wings they just weren't my favorite but also stared to get full by the time they came out. Service was great, friendly, fast accommodating and consistently checked in on us. read more

I stopped here after a busy Saturday exploring Oregon and it was the best end to my night. I arrived around 9:35pm. The restaurant is big and it still seemed very busy. We put ourselves in the waitlist, explored outside and received our food around 9:56pm. The ambiance was dark, cozy but lively with so many people. Customer service was good. We ordered the Beef Chow Fun and the custard buns. I asked for their chili on the side and it was soooo good. Both dishes were 10/10, I cannot wait to come back here. Great portion sizes to share as well. My only regret is not ordering another two plates or even bringing more custard buns home! I guess it's a plus, because it gives me another reason to come back! Definitely cannot recommend this restaurant enough. read more

This was really a delicious place. We started with a cucumber roll. It was very refreshing and beautiful on the plate. We then got the chili wontons that were delicious and well seasoned. We also got the house fried pork ribs. They were OK not super tender spiced all right but not great. We also got the fried wonton and they were OK. The menu is quite extensive and I definitely believe that we can get many things next time we come staff are excellent. This restaurant is very clean and large. read more

Was recommended this spot for the best dumplings. And they were right. I dropped by and was seated quickly by the wait staff. Brought me out a water and I gave a quick look at the menu. Already knew what I wanted and that was the Pork xiao long bao soup dumplings. It came in a steam basket and it's more than enough for one person to eat or share in a group setting. The place is super dark inside with everything painted black. Maybe use another color to brighten things up? Overall I would come back to this place to try some other stuff. read more

Wow! 5/5 The food was incredible...definitely as good as Din Tai Fung and Dough Zone. The XLB, spicy wontons were perfectly formed, juicy and flavorful. The special dry fried spare ribs were big and flavorful. The lychee cocktail and pear martini were a fun addition and worth the cost. 4/5 service. We came at 11 PM and the waiters were not attentive and we had a long wait to get seated despite empty tables. 3/5 sketchy neighborhood. It's not Xin Ding's fault but this neighborhood at night makes you second guess leaving your car on the street. On the plus side it's free parking at late night! read more

I came here on a weekend evening, and it was decently busy but there was no wait time to get a table and sit down. The service was pretty good, but the food could have been better. The pork xiao long baos were alright at first, and I liked how thin the wrappers were. The top swirl felt extra thick and was chewy, so I didn't enjoy eating that part. The flavor wasn't bad at first, but the more I ate, the more I realized the soup could have used more seasoning. The shrimp shu mai was pretty bad. I couldn't taste any shrimp flavor and could only feel little crunchy bits I was chewing on. There was minimal flavor in them, and even though I hardly ever eat my food with soy sauce and vinegar, I needed to dip the shrimp shu mai in the soy sauce and vinegar to make it palatable enough to eat. I don't think I'll return here. The only reason why this review is two stars is because of the service and the atmosphere. read more

Good food. The wait was a little lengthy but we wanted dumplings so we decided to wait. Once seated they gave us time to order which was nice didn't rush us but trying to get someone's attention to order. For water, for silverware was a task! The ambiance was all's cool. Older restaurant vibe. Not sure if we will go back just due to lack or service read more

On the way back from going to see the first cherry blossoms of the year, we decided to stop by this restaurant. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were very kind, table and plates are clean. We ordered four dishes, and everything was served steamy hot and was absolutely delicious. There were also other items on the menu that we'd like to try, so I'm sure we'll be coming back again. The price was a little on the pricey side, perhaps? But it was much much better than "Din Tai Fung" by far. It's worth it! The only negative thing is that the restroom in this restaurant was unusually dirty. If they could improve just that, it would be a perfect 5！ read more

We ordered delivery so I cannot speak to the cleanliness or friendliness of the restaurant and staff. Our food was delivered on time. We ordered the chicken broccoli, pork fried rice, beef chow fun and shrimp dumplings. Everything was packaged well. The shrimp dumpling and chicken broccoli were the highlights with the fried rice a close second. The beef chow fun lacked taste even though the beef was very tender. I'd definitely like to try more of the dumpling options on our next visit. read more

Service: can I order the hot and sour soup? No. Can I order the egg drop soup? No. How about the won-ton soup? No. What's the hell? What can I order? Management, your staff (waiter)needs better training and better attitude. Food is so so.. would I return? Nope. read more

Just yummy! Must try the soup dumplings -"xiaolongbao"! They were moist, full of juices, & not dry! I tend to notice that a lot of places that do soup dumplings overcook/steam them to where the wrapper on top becomes a bit hard then there's barely any soup but I took a bite and it was just an explosion of savory broth! Also the spicy chili wontons are a must as well! Overall great service and it was easy to navigate the menu and order! Will go again. read more

Solid Xiao Long Bao, not exceptional but solid. I found the broth to be fairly bland but the dumpling itself had a good bounce & chew. Came in here ready to do some damage after a long morning walking around Portland & crossing the river twice. After taking down a Tsingtao & a full order of xiao long bao I opted to forgo another menu item & try out a different dumpling spot for pan fried dumplings. If i had more time in the city i would have sampled another item here but had to spread the love. Service was good here & seating was ample. read more

Potsticker dumpling appetizer - they were good! Worth ordering for sure. 9/10 Chicken was tasty and green pepper was a nice combo. Fills you up and worth ordering. 8/10 Chow mein? Fat noodle? - Also very heavy noodle and tasty. Definitely fills you up! 8-8.5/10 Overall, I have to say despite the food tasting good (generally 8/10) service was extremely slow and we felt intentionally ignored it was so bad! Many others were attended to well after we had been seated and waited after us. Waiters would look us (we sat in the middle of the restaurant) and walk by, helping others. We finally asked a busboy to get our waiter (he didn't speak English) but non verbally indicated he would get others. Someone came by a few minutes later and did t take our order but said they would get someone for us (which took an additional almost 10 minutes). Given the service (slow orders arriving as well) we would not eat here again. Location is not in the best area either. If we were really hankering for noodles and in the area I suppose we would order to go. 3/5 stars because the food itself was worth it. read more

We went to Xin Ding to celebrate a friend's birthday. From the start, it's not a great experience checking in with the iPad and not being greeted by anyone and the service just spirals downhill from there. The service was kind of weird/awkward about IDing us for drinks. I assured her I was happy to grab my ID and she was kind of rude, alluding to the fact I look old and she doesn't need it haha. As our food started to come, our friend noticed a long black hair in the chicken dumplings. We notified our server and she investigated the dish on our table. This rubbed us all the wrong way because you should believe your customer and take the plate from the table and maybe exam it in the back/kitchen? We didn't like the hair deter us and everything was truly delicious. We had pork soup buns (good, but not very soup-y), pork wontons in chili oil (yum!), chicken potstickers (probably my favorite), spicy chow mein (delicious), the dry fried green beans (so good)! We were stuffed. I ended up telling the server that we wouldn't need the new chicken dumplings and she was very rude and taken back by that. I feel bad to inconvenience them, but none of it would've happened if there wasn't a hair in the food? There were other small, rude things our server did but ultimately, it didn't ruin our night or take away from the delicious food! I would recommend the restaurant with the warning that the service is lackluster. read more

My friend really likes this place and compares it to places like DTF and she claims that this place is better in quality, price and taste! We came here on a Sunday evening and it was pretty busy but we somehow managed to grab a table at the bar, and eat quickly before my flight! The Sichuan dishes here are really good, I loved the crispy chicken and fish we got and the pork XLB was so so good. I wish they had a chicken XLB or spicy veggie/chicken wontons but with what they had they definitely knocked it out of the park. Great place! read more

came here for a Friday night dinner. Big restaurant not super busy but I love all the food options they offer. food was okay not the worst not the best. Best thing we tried was the Dan Dan noodle. XLB tasted a bit odd almost like it was frozen, it would fall apart after a bite :( . Have def had better but it got the job done. Service was ok and nothing really stood out when it came to the inside decor. Solid restaurant if you are looking for some good Chinese food in Portland and really cool that they have a bar. Honestly gives more bar type restaurant with a side of Chinese food. read more

The food is decent for the price and the portions are big had the soup filled dumplings, shrimp shumai, noodles and green beans. Service is great only downside is you probably need to park in areas that are not so nice but other that isn't the restaurants fault. read more

Everything is fresh, flavorful, and 100% worth the wait. This is the kind of place where patience pays off in deliciousness. If you like spicy food (aka cool humans only ), you must ask for the chili oil -- and pro tip: request it extra spicy. They'll know what to do. Great service, great atmosphere, and food that makes you immediately start planning your next visit. We'll be back... probably too soon. read more

This used to be the old Thirsty Lion establishment. They converted it over to this dumpling house and I was pretty impressed. It does seem higher end, kind of like the feel of Din Tai Fung. Service staff was great and receptive to our needs. Ok now to get to the food, we started with the pork xiao long bao. The savory pork mixture with the soup mix was a very flavorful combination. The wonton wrappers were thin and twisted evenly. They held well in the bamboo steamers. The combination chow mein was pretty good. The noodles had a nice al dente chew and pull to them. It was very satisfying to eat. The egg on top was a little overdone. The cherry on top was the honey walnut shrimp. The outer coating was incredibly crispy with a coating of luscious honey mayonnaise. The caramelized walnuts were a perfect accompaniment. Instead of the usual wilted bed of lettuce that it is typically on, there was some fresh broccoli that really hit the spot. Lastly, we got some drinks. The white peach sake martini was a nice balanced, fruity drink. The crowd pleaser was definitely the lychee martini. The fruit was well highlighted without the vodka being too overbearing. This place was a real treat. If we are craving soup dumplings or the honey walnut shrimp, this is the place to be. read more

This place is worth the wait, if there is one when you go. We probably waited ~30 minutes for a 3-person table on a weekend night and absolutely LOVED our meal. We split the sweet and sour chicken, bao buns, and spicy beef chow mein. Every last bite was SO delicious. Things come out as they are ready so you get a nice hot dish with freshly cooked food. The ambiance is really cool; nicely decorated spot and somehow doesn't feel super loud even when it's packed. We cannot wait to go back to try more off the menu! read more

Been before and thought it was OK but this dinner was a total miss for my taste. First, I'm not a salt fiend however food does need some seasoning and all of our dishes were just plain bland. The pork and leek dumplings had a wrapper that was too thick from what I'm used to and not steamed enough to be succulent. The General Tso's Chicken was dry chicken and an almost flavorless glaze. The eggplant with garlic sauce was nicely done but needed a splash of black vinegar which was table side so OK. The beef chow fun was bland all around and the noodles had no tooth but were gloppy and too soft IMO. read more

We found this dumpling house through Apple Maps and decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself is surprisingly large, and the food ended up being pretty good but the service was definitely lackluster. When we walked in, there was a sign that said "Please wait here to be seated," so we did. We waited around 15-20 minutes, making eye contact with several employees and even other guests in line, but no one acknowledged us. Eventually, we asked an employee how to get seated, and only then were we told that we had to sign in on an iPad to join the queue. It was confusing and frustrating, especially since the sign and the process completely contradict each other. We even helped two other groups figure out the iPad check-in because they were also being ignored. After signing in, we waited another 20 minutes before being seated. Once at the table, we ordered chicken dumplings, orange chicken, noodles, and beef and broccoli. The portions are very generous, and everything was flavorful, except the chicken dumplings, which lacked seasoning. Overall, I'd say this place is worth trying for the food and large portions, but just be prepared for some confusing (and very hands-off) service. read more

Everything went well. We had a group of 14+ and it was amazing. There wasn't one dish that I didn't like!

The service was welcoming, food was very good and open atmosphere was very nice. The food was served with a smile and fresh cooked.

In short - I was disappointed. Sat at the bar and the service was lacking. Watched the bartenders eat from the employee cabinet the whole time and didn't really have a 'server'. Restaurant itself was large and could seat large parties at family style tables. Pork Xiao Long Bao - dumplings came out perfect temp but lacked in flavor. Left this dish unfinished. Wontons in Chili Sauce - mostly oil and like the other dish lacking flavor. We left these unfinished as well. Beef Chow Fun (Not Pictured) - looked the most promising! Noodles were great texture and wanted to love this dish. However, similar to the others lacked flavor. Unfortunately, this should be a skip on our Portland itinerary. read more
