“This is one of only a few places that serve Laksa, which is what I was looking for. It was very good, and very filling. When asked, they told me they serve Laksa because the owner was from Singapore. As others have noted, the staff is very nice.“
“It seems nearly impossible to find good Chinese Food in Portland, maybe because of the PNW's historical discriminatory and Sinophobic sentiments towards the Chinese people. If we were/are hurtful to them, maybe we don't get to experience their delicious cuisine now. I think in many ways that's fair, if that is the case. Okay, so it's probably not the case that we are deprived of their best food because of the history -- I'm just pondering this as I type. I wonder if you are still reading and if you are -- you must be willing to endure this long shpiel because you would like to know about the food. And now for the review. Once in a while my sweetie and I take a risk and hope we'll find yummy Chinese or Chinese inspired food. Most of the time she gets credit for finding the food because she does the investigating. She gets credit yet again today. We headed to 28 Tigers. Love their logo. The place is on SE 28th close to Gladstone. The menu was small-ish and we tried a few dishes. The food was nuanced, flavorful, and fresh cuisine. I'm not super into earthy flavors but tried the Crispy Mushroom Dumplings anyway. In doing so I was met with a well seasoned, crunchy outside shell with warm, soft, succulent thinly sliced mushrooms inside. Wow! Just the right balance of savory, soft, and crunch. I also enjoyed the Chicken Chow Fun -- the pieces of pulled chicken coupled with the wide soft noodles and thin slices of red pepper (red bell pepper) had an umami kind of flavor -- delicious and subtle --the spice mix on this was so pleasant and good. My main dish was Hong Kong Noodles with char siu pork and perfectly cooked greens. The pork reminded me of flavored pork from Chinese American restaurants I went to as a kid -- a positive experience then and now upon consuming this dish. We also shared an egg roll which had the same tasty crunchy shell as the dumplings. The place is simple, the food is thoughtfully prepared, and the service was great. They were also very helpful in offering food choices for my sweetie who needs gluten free options. I highly recommend.“
“OMG, this place was amazing. We went at lunchtime on Presidents Day, so I thought it was a little odd that the lunch specials were not available. That was okay, because the food was so fantastic. Wife had the basil chicken which was one of the best Chinese dishes ever. I had the Lamb with Green Onion, which was good, but I'd try something else next time. I rarely see Lamb on a Chinese menu, so I had to try it. We split some green the green tea. The service was fast and friendly, as were some patrons. A couple guys walked by and asked about the b=Basil Chicken, so we told them it was a must! Huge open space that is unexpected given the outside of the historic Louis Building, built in 1885. We are going back!!“
“Good vibes, great cocktails, and delicious food—what more can you ask for? The prices are also pretty reasonable, although you will need to order a few plates to get “full.” Unsurprisingly, it’s a popular place so expect to wait 30 mins to an hour if you don’t get here early. In any case, we will definitely be adding this to our list of frequent Portland nighttime spots for snack and drinks.“
“In a sea of Thai food, this is my white whale. I stumbled upon this place after having a deeply offensive experience at blutos. We were asked to go to the back of the line and wait again after already waiting 20 minutes, because they had too many tickets to put our ticket in as well. It was like being hit with a flash bang of gaslighting and snubbery. This inexplicable event happened on an evening when I was entertaining friends from out of town. This proverbial slap to the face came after a long day of hiking and little food. Now hangery and nearing the dreaded hour of nine in Portland, we used what little blood sugar we had left to high tail it to the nearest establishment. We walked into rudkiew at 8:45 feeling guilty, and hastily ordered our food. They whipped that work in ten minutes flat true to Thai form. It tasted like we were transported to Thailand and it brought pure elation to our wounded hearts, and that says everything you need to know. They also gave us free spring rolls to boot just to put the cherry on top. I’ve been going back ever since and it slaps everytime.“
“Literally can't not tell you how amazing this place is. Not only are they the KINDEST humans, but the food was beyond incredible. I was craving shrimp, and it was not on the regular menu since it's a random special. Surprisingly, he said he had some and would make it for me. We had the lollipop garlic noodles which were DELICIOUS, tofu, the fried chicken, and shrimp garlic noodles. They were so accommodating. We will be back 1 million percent.“
“First time having Jianbing and it was delicious. I loved the crunch of the wanton inside of the wrap. I got the spiciest version and it was almost perfect in terms of balancing the flavor of the tofu, eggs, oily wanton and the crunch of the lettuce.The only downside is that it is expensive and it did not fill me up for lunch, I definitely could’ve eaten 25% more and felt pretty satiated.“
“Amazing food and so many vegan options. We got chow mein, fried rice, garlic broccoli, sweet and sour tofu, egg rolls, and dumplings and everything was delicious. Very good portion sizes, too! We will have leftovers for a while now, yay. Definitely will be back!“
“We had their Rice Table dinner, which was tasty but I would never do it again because at $85/person it didn't live up to the price tag. I WOULD recommend this restaurant overall though, it is a unique restaurant to find in Portland and it had great dishes. Make a reservation because it does get busy.“
“If you’re done with the unfriendly customer service that Portland is known for, then go to Taiji Teahouse to have your faith in humanity, and the service industry, restored. Seated in Portland’s Chinatown in the old Red Robe Teahouse location, you’ll find a charming place that serves light meals and the best tea in Downtown. Eric may even be able to spare a moment to sharpen the Chess-oriented part of your mind.“
“Nom nom nom. Their seasonal salad is ALWAYS DELICIOUS. Throw some fried chicken or avocado on there? Gold. Steam buns are to die for. Try them all. But my faves are the miso mushroom and the fried chicken. Ramen is great, rice bowls are great. You really can’t go wrong. Atmosphere is fine but I usually get it to go. Cocktails are okay.“
“Is there a such thing as too many noodles? The answer is no, but this truck gave me enough food for 2 people for $13. Spectacular, couldn't have asked for me. The food truck pod was really cool too, live music on a sunny day, bathrooms available. I can't wait to try their other noodles!“
“Super stoked to have a solid Chinese takeout style spot so close to me. The lunch special was a great price and the portions were perfect. The food was quality. I’m a sucker for crispy beef and was super pleased with my order.Crab puffs was killer as well“
“I was surprised on this one. Just a little place for some Dimsum with flair . The menu is very limited. Service is also limited. You order on the board and you also pay there. Then they bring the food to your table. The use of modernism and minimalistic yet impersonal make this place unique. With very limited selections, the food was actually good. My favorites are Sesame noodles and meat folders.“
“Clean nice place. Space is big enough for a large party. Order came out within minutes. I went on a Friday around lunch time. Side street parking. Quite spicy, kinda burns the back of the throat but in a good way especially on a rainy day. I got it Togo and it was definitely filling.“
“Shockingly good. Like, I am so glad I happened to wander in! It's a Chipotle- or Mongolian BBQ-type setup where you select your ingredients and they are prepared for you into japchae stir fry or stew. But it is executed really well with amazing flavors and truly interesting items to select from. I got lotus root in my stir fry, there are a couple different mushrooms to select from there are proteins like shrimp and lamb and others, several types of greens and even the cabbage is available in full leaf or shredded format. You can really make this dish your own. I will say that even the number one is a fair amount of heat. But I'm telling you, the even with my nose running I was looking forward to every fork full.I really don't care about atmosphere so I just default gave it four stars. But the food and the service really deserve five stars.“
“Amazing variety of vegan Chinese American comfort food! So many choices and everything we ordered existed on a spectrum between "really good" and "mouthwateringly delicious".The Veggie Five Flavor Bean Curd was our favorite appetizer, we also really enjoyed the Veggie Chicken With Sweet Corn Soup and the General Tso's Chicken.“
“Went for lunch and had a seafood combo for two. It was heaven! Also had their seasonal teacup dumplings which, should not be seasonal and a staple but something to look forward to! So much food. Great taste! Fun presentation and experience. Service was wonderful, attentive, and friendly. Can't wait to go back and try more!“
“Massive portion sizes. Cheap/reasonable prices. Prompt service (<10 min). This food truck did not disappoint and is an incredible hidden gem. I ordered a Pepper-Salt Chicken and House Special Combination Chow Mein and both had heaping portion sizes like others mentioned and tasty flavor! The rice in particular was a little fried and had a unique (good) taste in comparison with the normal white rice you get. The chow mein was packed full of seafood and meat - more than worth the price of $16. The lady running the food truck was sweet and funny and produced those two dishes in under 10 minutes. Overall a delicious experience and will be returning next time I'm in Portland!“
“The guy behind the counter forgot to pack my rice in the to-go bag the other day and ran out into the parking to flag me down to give it to me. I feel like a lot of places today wouldn’t even bother.The service is great and the food is quite good. I’ve never had a bad experience from this restaurant.“
“I was walking toward the river and I found this place . It's a cute small street food spot and the owner is so friendly. The service doesn't take long but it works like this : you order , he makes your food , you pay and then it's the next person turn . I ordered chicken yakisoba noodle. Good portion . Good price , taste good . But it was greasy and very salty. That's the reason I gave 4 stars . I am not living in Portland. Otherwise I would go there again .“
“Wow ! Portland is really stepping up their game when it comes to Chinese food!!! I had never tried it, but these traditional Chinese baozi were so juicy, spiced to perfection, delicious, and full of meat and the Jia Zhang mian were just like they were in Beijing. I ordered delivery and don't know if they have dine in. I will go back again soon! They also have frozen baozi and jiazi to boil or steam at home! Can't wait to order through their menu!“
“We were there twice recently, one on March 2 and the other March 22. The first time was quite satisfying. Even though this restaurant was a relatively new addition to the mall, the food and service were on par with other locations such as Seattle, Bellevue and La Jolla. However, our later visit, with a 2x larger table than the first visit, seemed to show a service issue. The staff placed the ordered dishes wherever they wanted, which, at other DTF, they would ask where to place the dish on the table by asking the customers first. This caused unnecessary dish-passing immediately after an order was delivered. There was ample walking space surrounding our table, i.e., we were not in the side booth or window/corner tables. Food was consistently fantastic as high standard held by DTF.Kid-friendliness: Nice kid set“
“I highly recommend the Xiao Long Bao; the rich soup and generous filling make it almost perfect. The dry-fried green beans have a rich flavor, and the hot and sour soup is delicious too. Their egg drop soup is a favorite among kids. We also ordered the assorted fried noodles, which had plenty of ingredients and a large portion size. However, some of the pan-fried dumplings(紅油抄手) were overcooked and the skin was too soft. The dry pot series is also highly recommended; we tried the dry pot intestine. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the food here. However, the service is just okay and could be better."“
“Excellent. Sweet and sour chicken, chow mien, general tso chicken. One of the best I’ve ever had at a neighborhood Chinese restaurant. We ordered delivery and it came hot and packaged well. I’ve had Chinese in Seattle, Portland, and Paris. This one ranks highest for me.Nice work! Glad you’re in the hood!“
“I called to place an order at 7:19, and they close at 7:30, and they happily took my order! When I went to pick up, they were just finishing it up. All the food was perfect! I ordered the Mapo Tofu extra hot, and then she even warned me when she gave me the food that it is hot, and I was! She even brought the food to my car! I highly recommend this place! They even gave us extra appetizers!“
“I had vegetarian lo mein noodles that was delicious. Generous small pea pods, roasted green beans etc Delicious. They also make great egg rolls. They are deep fried but the oil is light the filling delicious and the dipping sauces just right. The number 8 has Mar Far chicken which is deepfried with that same lightness leaving the flavor of the chicken and the filling of the shrimp roll unencumbered by any oily tasteVegetarian options: Make requests. The vegetarian lo mein wasn't on the menu so I asked if they could and they did. Next time I go I'm going to ask if they can make tofu General Tso's no chicken. The hot and sour soup was tasty and brothy. Same for their Egg Flower soup“
“easily one of my favorite takeout spots in portland. the food is incredible (we got the house chow fun) with huge portions.I called in thanksgiving to see when they closed, and the owner offered to stay late to cook for us (I didn’t ask to come late). 10/10 place, I highly recommend.“
“I'm stingy with 5-Stars, this earns more like 4.5, but heck, let's round up.Winner, Winner on taste and price, i.e., value. The first item is usually the most popular and that applies here: the pan fried rice cakes were excellent?The salted fish and chicken fried rice is one of the best versions I've tried. For certain, it's tops in Portland.The complementary tea was above average, while the iced limeade was oh so refreshing.Service was friendly and fast. Prices are more than fair. Ambiance is so-so as it seems like the seating layout could be improved to allow for more customers. Parking can be tough during peak hours. Lastly, they close way too early for an Asian restaurant, especially a popular tone.“
“I'm so glad my husband and I stumbled upon this mom and pop restaurant. I was craving for wonton soup and saw this place on the way home and decided to try and have early dinner here. The place is small with few tables but it's very clean and a nice friendly staff greet us by the door. We ordered wonton and dumpling soup, pork BBQ steam bun, pork roast and pork BBQ combination rice plate, roast duck and beef brisket combination dry noodles. The food reminded me of my father's cooking, since he passed away I've been missing him so much and these food just reminds me of him. The food we ordered tasted like a home cooked meal. My father was a great cook and his love language was cooking for his family and the food here reminds me of him, like a warm hug. Thank you for this experience, the food here not only feed my hunger but also feed my heart. I will definitely return here. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for an authentic Chinese BBQ and noodle place.“
“Food was really good. The jianbing and soup dumplings were my favorite. The veggie dumplings had a weird texture. We were seated fast and they have free hot tea...maybe its oolong not sure. Very few other drink options but overall good experience.“
“AMAZING FOOD! I had the most lovely dining experience here! Kind staff, FAST service. My favorite part was the Non-Alcoholic Mango Cart- this is definitely one to try! The food was so fresh and delicious. I love the atmosphere and attentiveness of the staff. Would highly recommend this restaurant for someone looking to try something new!“
“They prefer cash but do accept credit cards due to increased merchant fees.Anyways, I drove from Beaverton just to try this spot and I'd do it again since it was worth it. Don't expect a 5 star atmosphere but for what they offer, it hits the spot. I liked it better than the most recent pho (Vietnamese food) I've had. The Chinese donut was delicious too. Not overly sweet. Some might even say not sweet enough.You can modify the type of noodles that the noodle soup comes with. I think I had the thin vermicelli noodles. Others I overheard had the thicker ones.Very laid-back. Limited dine in spots for when they're busy however. But I don't think you can beat the price at this very moment.I ordered the number 9. Brisket and beef noodles.Parking: Lots of graffiti on the fences but there seemed to be plenty of parking when I arrived. May have a difficult time turning left during rush hour however when exiting their premise.“
“Never disappoints! Love their napa cold slaw salad that comes with the buns, always crunchy and yummy. Miso pork belly bun is so freakin good I keep coming back for MORE! The bun itself is so fluffy and most likely the best steamed bun you can find in town!“
“Go here, order #37, you'll thank me later! Absolutely delicious! Flavorful, filling, and the blend of flavors is quite unique. I've never had Mi Quang (tumeric noodle soup dish) because I love Pho and always order it. I'm glad I branched out and tried something new because this is absolutely one of my favorite dishes here in Portland. I will absolutely be back for this!!!And side note as a crazy plant lady I just love all the plants!Parking: Some parking on Sandy and some on side streets close by“
“Five stars as usual! Thank you for our food! Served fast and hot and always SO much food! We appreciate your business. Sorry for the absolutely rude lady that was in tonight. We've never had a bad experience In all our yrs of getting food. Also best portion of crab puffs in town!“
“The dim sum is good but like most dim sum restaurants, it can get really busy and service can get slow but that's understandable. Crowds stack up fast on weekends so try to get there early or be prepared to wait for a table. I'd say it's the best dim sum in town but it's not like there's too many dim sum options in Portland.“
“Very tasty Chinese dine-in and takeout. I particularly enjoy the Mongolian Beef, Kung Pao Shrimp, and Chicken Almond Subgum. Prompt and friendly service, and a very unusual mint & mauve color scheme.Vegetarian options: Tofu dishes.Parking: 20-30 spaces. I always find a space.“
“This restaurant is so good. I really want to visit Portland again just for this one. You know if you want to know how they are good at Chinese food at the restaurant, you have to order and eat the basic food such as fired rice and spicy noodle. They are perfect at them.Food is really enough for each person, Price is reasonable, taste is good and the service is good as well.Order Chongqing dried ramen and shrimp fried rice! It comes with large shrimp, not small shrimp!Chongqing horse ramen has a clear broth and the fried rice has a really light oil!!“
“Yeah--these guys are outstanding. Probably the best chinese i've had in portland yet--their kung pao chicken/beef is absolutely incredible with heaping portions! It's definitely very spicy i'd say a 8/10 spice so if you want it less make sure to tell the guy before hand cuz the heat will knock your socks off!“
“I don’t eat at Chinese restaurants much anymore. Used to be a big fan, but most are greasy and use sub standard ingredients. I met some friends at Ling Garden, as they recommended it, and was very pleasantly surprised. Very friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, good jasmine tea and the General Tso’s chicken was perfect. Crunchy coating,moist and tender chicken, smoky, spicy sauce, and I did not feel sick after licking my plate clean. Highly recommend.“
“We tried BHP bc Hot Pot City was closed. Oh my. What a treat! If, like me, you are heartbroken that HPC closed, BHP has been waiting for you. Instead of AYCE, they bring out a mass of food. Plenty of beef and beautifully marbled pork. There was a basket of cabbage and bok choy. A tray w tofu, clear noodles, enoki mushrooms, meatballs and tofu sheets. Never had them before and they were quite tasty. And, the handmade noodles!! We had the split half spicy, half regular broth. My brother eats chile peppers whole. He could handle the spicy. I love spicy but next time I will go regular and dip in chile oil. The broth is very tasty even before you start cooking. I wish I saved room to drink it all, but we were stuffed. You could easily feed three and enjoy potsticker and more veggies. We will definitely be back!!Parking: BHP is setback from the street, in the back of the parking lot.i had a navigator who directed me. I would have passed it.“
“Amazing food truck behind the PSU library that produces great Chinese food, large portions, and cheap prices. The owner, Susan, is there everyday working hard and yet she maintains an incredible friendliness and even seems to remember many customers by name“
“The eggplant melted in my mouth. I recommend the scallops, oysters, scallions, chicken hearts and cauliflower. I will have to go back to try it all. The flavors were fantastic! Friends live in the neighborhood and they say they have been going once a week.“
“I have never been to this place in all my life. But today I was at the seafood store next door to this restaurant and I was hungry, so my dad and I decided to check out this place. Our waitress gave us a nice table, and we ordered our food. It came surprisingly quickly and it was delicious. We couldn't finish all the food, so we took it home.In all, this was perfect experience. Customer service was exelent, and the exterior is majestic. It is like you have been transported to another country for a little time if you life.I recommend that everyone come to this restaurant. Trust me, you will not regret it.“
“Probably some of the best Chinese I’ve ever had. The hot and sour soup is excellent!! The portions are large and the quality of the meat and vegetables is great! Not only is the food excellent, but the staff is friendly and fast! Prices are very reasonable too. I’ll be back!!!“
“Food is fantastic. Place was pretty busy and you can tell locals hit this place up all the time. It's got a real old school vibe because it is a house/ business. I felt like I was in someone's grandma's place with all the house plants... To go service onlyPretty much no wait time if you get the chicken or pork.They have a really good menu even though I haven't tried very much on it. The quality of rice was so good. I say that because if it's just so so it just doesn't feel like anything else fits together. I really like that. They had sauce out if you wanted something spicy or a little bit more of the teriyaki sauce and it's just so easy to grab. I think a lot of places fail at some of the to-go elements. But this was so dialed in. It didn't matter. There were almost 10 people waiting. I think I was in and out and three to four minutes. This place rocks will hit them up againParking: Street parking on this place but it was easy to navigate on the side street“
“We've gone in to order and have also called ahead, but have only gotten our food to go. The staff has been pleasant and they make the orders pretty quickly. The food is delicious. The sesame beef is FANTASTIC. I highly recommend. It's labeled as spicy, I am a wuss when it comes to anything spicy. Its more of a garlicky spicy. My husband pointed out it the label and I was confused because I didn't find it spicy at all. He got the Kung Pao, he really liked it. The BBQ pork chow mein was delicious. The BBQ pork itself was a little dry but good with some sauce. Over all, I absolutely recommend this adorable little place.“
“It's not very busy and so far draws a small crowd for karaoke. This is a perfect place to meet for larger groups as there should be plenty of space and there are multiple large tables. The outside smoke area is sheltered from the elements and offers privacy from the public.LGBTQIA++ friendly ❤️“
“Amazing food! Fresh, bright, clean, distinctive flavors. Had to try the Wasabi cream prawns. Really good, but rich, so dishes with good cut (acid, heat, picancy) to go back and forth with is recommended. Had exactly that with the beef and onion dish, which had assertive levels of white onion and/or ginger in some bites, and a nice moderate level of garlic and green onion. Also had the eggplant, which was quite nicely spicy, perfectly cooked, exactly what I was craving. This is far above the typical local Chinese restaurant, and for the same price. The only thing typical was the tea. It was fine, but I'd suggest they get better. Maybe trial a higher priced premium option. I'd pay more for tea that matches the level of their food.“
