Reviews

One of the few must-go Chinese restaurants to enjoy a bit of the more than average dining establishments. The service was as per was quick and efficient, and the food was delicious.
Sophia Sombounvong
The best Chinese restaurant in the Portland Metro area. The staff were very friendly and very responsive as well. They deserve big tips for fine work. I highly recommend!
Muta Oz
As a patron of almost 2 decades, I must say it remains one of my favorite Chinese places in town. We had our usual. Bitter melon with garlic black bean sauce. Best I have had.
Kamala Pati
I would have never found this place in the Jade district had it not been for friends who frequent here. It was clean, good service and good food. Will definitely return to this place.
Holly Denman
This is honestly the best Chinese food I have ever had. The food and service are outstanding! They have tons of different dishes. The food is all fresh, hot, and delicious!
Rina Miyamoto-Shemali
I finally found the place I am going to take my picky Chinese chef friend when he visits Portland. This is real Chinese food, and the real thing tastes so much better.
