    Salt and Pepper Squid
    Jackie L.

    Anytime our family is in town to attend the Grotto or anything similar, this is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants, especially on late nights when everything else is closed. It is located on Sandy and very easy to miss. During peak hours, parallel parking is impossible to find and crossing the street is perilous. But I promise it's worth it. This particular night we had ordered a bunch of dishes to share family style. It is pretty well known for its salt and pepper squid, which we had as a starter. It was crispy and super seasoned with an abundance of green onions and white onions grilled over the top. The honey walnut shrimp was tasty and well battered. The walnuts were thoroughly caramelized, adding a nice crunch and sweetness to balance the mayo. The flaccid bed of lettuce on the bottom was typical. Other dishes were standard Chinese fare, but if anything, they are always consistent here. The server we had has been here countless encounters. She is always bouncy and full of energy, quick, responsive, and quick witted. Zien Hong will always be our go to when we're in the area!

    The portions were decent and everything tasted like it was cooked fresh. The servers were friendly and got our food back to us without a long wait. The only issue I had was they don't offer combinations dinners/meals. If you want a dinner with General Tso and fried rice you have to pay for each separately. This wouldn't be a big deal however it's $18 for General Tso and $15 for fried rice making it $33 for a meal, and to be honest the foods not worth that price. I would expect this price at a higher end restaurant but this is a small hole in the wall restaurant with bad parking.

    We are so lucky to have this place in our neighborhood. Menu is pretty big and full of your standard Chinese entrees. Service is efficient, friendly and quick. Food is consistent and yummy. Quite a few tables in the back dining room - - and you usually don't have to wait too long for a table. And they are great for takeout too. They are open every day for lunch thru late night dinners. Bathroom is on your way to the dining room. Street parking is limited.

    General Tso's wonderful lunch!

    Excellent service, the hot and sour soup, amazing. I had the lunch menu, General Tso chicken PLENTY was served

    S4. Chicken with Hot Spicy Garlic Sauce

    Ordered take out over the phone yesterday and was heavily disappointed in the food and the cost. 1. Take out packaging was terrible. They put chow mein separate from the veggies and chicken. It was pouring out of the container given in, making a mess of the food. Investment in containers would've solved this. 2. The cut of the veggies and meat was horrendous. Huge pieces of broccoli that was HARD and not cooked well. Huge prices of chicken that could've been cut to bite size. Small fixes that would have made the dish better. 3. The price was not justified. Yes $50 for a lot of food is worth it, but when the food doesn't match up to the flavor then portion size doesn't matter. I wasted so much food because of the taste of the orange chicken. It was a very tough meal to eat. Wouldn't reccomend this place when there's more viable options around.

    It's been years since I've last came here as a child! I'm glad they're still around. My family had lunch here on a Sunday and like others have said, parking is so hard. There was no parking in that tight street next to the restaurant, so we had to loop around to park in a neighborhood behind the building. We ordered 5 dishes that came out to be a total of $91, so expect to pay this much when you eat with around 5-7 people. Our favorite dishes were the pork spareribs, beef chow fun, and fried rice. Everything else was pretty average. Overall, it was still really flavorful and the dishes were well portioned and came with lots of veggies. The waitress was really friendly and answered questions we had about the food and hosting a large group of people. My mom also said she remembers coming here with my dad many years ago after studying late after college classes. :)

    Zien Hong has the BEST salt and pepper squid. We also enjoyed baby broccoli and chicken, won ton noodle soup, Mongolian beef, and char siu (BBQ) pork. They're open late. I believe they accept their last dine in orders at 10pm, and close at 11pm, on most nights. Love that they serve hot tea and water from the git go. If you love Chinese food, you need to dine at Zien Hong. I read that they've been in business since the 1970s.

    I found this restaurant few years ago when I visited Portland and this time I found in yelp's recommendations and so happy it's the same restaurant. Food and service was very good.

    I LOVE everything I get here. We always get spring rolls, fried rice and various entrees. Love them all. I drive from Vancouver for this!

    Super yummy food, everything we got was fresh and filling! Service is warm and speedy. Location is nice, right off of Sandy. Prices are comparable to alternatives, I'd absolutely return!

    Duck House is absolutely incredible! Let me start by saying…read moreChinese food is usually not my first choice when dining out, but this place completely changed my mind. Every dish we ordered was off-the-charts delicious. We had: * Garlic dry green beans * Szechuan Dan Dan noodles * Beef dry pot * Pork soup dumplings I wouldn't change a single thing--everything was perfectly seasoned, full of flavor, and served fresh and hot. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, great for a relaxed night out. If you're even thinking about trying this place, stop thinking and just go. Duck House is now officially at the top of my dining list!

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!

We rolled…read morethrough Portland and stopped for a few plates, and everything punched way above a typical highway stop. The smashed cucumber salad was super refreshing -- lots of garlic, crunchy, and exactly what you want after hours in the car. The green onion pancakes came out crispy and satisfying, but my favorite was the wood ear mushroom. They did something to it that made it insanely umami and savory, like a dish you keep thinking about later. The fried rice was solid and full of flavor, and you could tell the kitchen cared. The dining room was pretty empty when we went, so maybe it's newer or underrated, which feels unfair because the food deserves more people. Parking around there is kind of a hassle and the neighborhood isn't the prettiest, but this is a definite stop for me next time I'm in Portland.

    Shoutout to everyone still working on Thanksgiving Day! Because of hardworking folks like you,…read morepeople who don't celebrate holidays like me can still eat out. I'm super grateful. Before coming, I did my homework and checked reviews on Chinese review website. The opinions were kinda extreme, some said it was terrible, others said it was amazing. Since it was only a 1 minute walk from my hotel and actually open on Thanksgiving, I went for it. I ordered jalapeño beef 小炒牛肉, veggie chow mein 蔬菜炒面, and string beans 干煸四季豆. The beef came out first, and the first bite surprised me. It didn't taste like the jalapeño beef from other Sichuan restaurants. It tasted exactly like Cantonese beef with gailan, but with green bell peppers instead. Instead of tingly spicy, it had a subtle sweetness. If you're Cantonese, you probably know exactly what I mean. The veggie chow mein was good and reminded me of late night street noodles in Guangzhou, and it also had a slightly sweet touch. The string beans were good too, and didn't have any sweetness. There was some savory minced pork in it. If you're not a strict vegetarian and don't mind a little meat in the dish as long as you only eat the veggie part, go for this one, it was flavorful. While having dinner, I overheard Cantonese in the kitchen between the chef and staff, and ahhh, that explains why I tasted the Cantonese flavor in my dishes! It also explains the two types of extreme reviews. So let me be honest, if you come here expecting the Sichuan/Hu'nan version of stir-fried beef with a strong spicy profile, you might be disappointed. But for me, it was honestly a lucky hit. I did see some Sichuan spicy dishes on the menu, but I didn't order them, so I can't say if they're authentic. But based on what I ordered tonight, I was happy with everything.

The service was good and the staff was attentive during our visit. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered: Hand-Ripped Youpoo Noodle: The absolute star of the meal. The wide, hand-ripped noodles had the perfect chewy texture you look for. They were tossed in a deeply savory, slightly spicy chili oil sauce and topped with a generous amount of perfectly seasoned minced beef and fresh bok choy. It was incredibly satisfying and a must-order. Popcorn Chicken: This was a bit of a letdown. While it looked golden brown and came with a sweet chili dipping sauce, it was not special at all and lacked any unique flavor or punch compared to the other dishes. Spicy Chili Oil Wontons: These were packed with flavor! The wonton wrappers were delicate, and the filling was juicy. They were swimming in a robust, aromatic chili oil that had a nice kick and a touch of vinegar sharpness. Why 4 stars instead of 5? While the noodles and wontons were excellent and the service was good, the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable. The restaurant was completely empty when we went, but it was super cold inside because the window was wide open. Between the chilly draft and the fairly generic popcorn chicken, it misses out on a full 5 stars.

Typically at most Chinese restaurants, especially fried dishes, you'll see a pool of oil at the bottom of the dish. This is not the case here, and their sauces also keep their oil usage to the minimum. The food doesn't feel as heavy, and they nail most of their Szechuan flavors well. Their service is always fast and friendly. There is a gentleman in glasses that is always happy to serve and answer your questions. He is always happy to pack your food for you to go if you have leftovers as well, which is a lovely gesture. They have very cute decorations inside, from lucky cats with fortune cookies in their mouths, or a painted wall with a Panda cooking delicious food. I'd steer clear from their soup dishes, most of them lack flavor. I highly recommend their Chopped Pepper Fish and their Jade Tofu items though. Very flavorful and not very heavy! Plenty of parking is available which is lovely for eating in Portland, do not let this spot be missed if you've never tried it!
