RACIST. If you're not White, steer clear of this place. We walked in, the place was EMPTY and had two parties of two or three people that were preparing to leave. No one at the bar. We were seated, but then left sitting at our table for 5-10 mins as if the place was packed. In walks a White guy with his son and they're seated behind us. The waitress walked around to the other side of the restaurant to avoid me, my wife and daughter and went to the white guy and his son and took their order...THEN HAD THE NERVE to come to our table to take our order. What did we do??? WE GOT UP AND WALKED OUT. ZERO STARS. THAT'S MY REVIEW. IF YOU'RE NOT CAUCASIAN, STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

Tried to order food within an hour of closing. Someone answered, asked for my order, I said 1 out of 3 items she asked for me to hold only for the call to hang up. I tried calling 6 more times and even used my partner's phone to try and call them. The phone would immediately go to voice-mail. They must not want my money within an hour of closing.

Had the dumplings and fried rice, both were tasty.

Sesame Chicken (lunch special) - This was a 4.5 out of 5. The sesame chicken was delicious and had large chunks of chicken. The crab rangoon was perfect - sweet and crunchy! For a lunch special, this was such a good deal and the price is great. The waiter was quick and ambiance was average. If you're looking for a good lunch spot for Chinese food that has great deals, this is the place for you!

Excellent - everything. I loved the spicy pork belly buns, the salt and pepper shrimp and the bokchoy.

Very quiet, we went mid afternoon right after lunch rush but before dinner! Our server was wonderful! So kind and knowledgeable. Suggestions were made and tried! Food was delicious, we tried a variety of things. Soup dumpling were perfect! Bok choy well seasoned! General Tso excellent in the spice department. Peking duck buns Mmmmm! The inside of the restaurant is a bit dated but just means it's a well established location!!!

Our waitress was very informative and helpful. The food was delicious. I can't believe this place wasn't packed with people but I'm glad it wasn't. It was nice to find a quiet place to enjoy dinner in Portland without having to yell just to talk to your friends.
