My favorite Chinese restaurant in Portland metro area! I loveee their grilled fish dish. They definitely don’t skimp on the garlic! I’ve tried quite a few dishes there and haven’t had one that I didn’t like.

The portion sizes are perfect because the food is so good you never want to stop eating it! The Dan Dan Noodles are one of my top picks, but if spicy food isn't for you, the Beef Fried Rice won't disappoint. Seriously, don't sleep on this place

Super friendly and quick service. I've been to many different Chinese restaurants but I would choose coming back here many more times than other places. The food is delicious. The first person, Wynn, I saw when I came in had a smile that could light up a room. And very gentleman like. The waiter, Jack, also was very kind and quick with taking our order. I definitely recommend checking this place out and ordering all their delicious foods!!

From what I'm told, it's the best Chinese restaurant in the area. The comment came from a Chinese person. The food is indeed good and how is it supposed to taste and you see a lot of Asians eating here, so that's a great sign.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and was very happily surprised. Hot and sour soup is a pretty good quality metric to judge Chinese joints by, and it was great. I had the twice cooked pork belly lunch special, it was phenomenal. Prefect balance of spice and flavor, and even the standard BBQ fried rice side was very well executed. Looking forward to exploring their menu more in the future.
