Authentic American Chinese food!
Reviewed by an American born Chinese.
Food: It incorporates traditional Chinese flavors with an American twist.
(Importing Chinese produce and ingredients back in the 20th century was difficult so immigrants adopted what they could find in America)
Service: Chine
Looks like a dive bar, but OMG the food is phenomenal. I highly recommend the Singapore Noodles. Just amazing food and a cozy relaxed atmosphere. Check them out. The owner is a great guy. So is his wonderful wife.
I only do the take out here because the food is good. Like Hung Far Low was before they left DT and then closed for good. Gosh, I miss that place, This comes very close! Prices are good and food is even better. I don’t even care that the place looks like trash. Every time I’ve ate here, it has been
Great atmosphere for hanging out with friends, eat and drink… I do agree with the description “Authentic American Chinese food”. It’s a little hidden gem in the area!
Great hospitality and service. They are keeping a Portland treasure alive! Go say hello, grab a drink, and soak in the history.
I ordered there last night on Grubhub and it was so good!!! I wasn’t expecting it to be cause I’ve never been there and it’s usually hit or midd and random Chinese food places but I was super lucky to have great food! There rice was probably the best rice I had in such a long time. Wish I would have
#1 Chinese restaurant in Portland Oregon I'm so down to argue. It's been tasting the same since I was 5!
You can walk past this place all day long and not know it's there. But i promise it is. I feel it might be one of the only origanal remaining Chinese restaurants in China town. Its a bit dark but they have a great lunch menu and the food taste great!
The lunch menu is cheap and you get a pretty heft
My wife and I stepped into a time warp last night. This Chinese dive bar called the Ming Lounge has been in continuous operation in Oldtown Portland for 99 years. If you make it past the army of street vagrants out front, inside you are immediately transported to an underworld with dimmed red lights
Favorite place in Portland. I am new here and have had the opportunity to visit many bars and the Ming is by far my favorite. Great music, very stylish and I have met amazing people there. The restaurant food is greasy, tasty and abundant.
A classic. You cant get this expirience anywhere else on the west side of town. Wonderful atmosphere, superb and friendly bartending, and excellent food. Every visit will be an expirience to remember. The most rock and roll Chinese Restaurent/venue/bar this side of the river.
If you're disappointed in anything about this restaurant you just don't understand the better days of Portland. If you know you know...
Dark but you know the food is going to be good when they have paper menus
Great food, reasonable prices, generous portions, open late, and you can order through a third-party delivery service and have it brought to you. What more can I ask for? Staff is always courteous and gracious. Kind of in a sketchy area, with homeless camps up and down the road, but that's not their
Food was excellent. They have the best shrimp in town. Service wasn't that good. Brought one item 10 minutes later brought something else out. all foods is supposed tobe served at the same time.
I read a lot of the reviews and it made me very curious I went with my significant other on my birthday and it was very interesting inside is very dimly lit it's like you're transported back into time it is 100 year old restaurant it was a really trippy experience the bartender Heather and her husba
I’ve only ever ordered online from here BUT their fried rice is f*ckin awesome, love the potstickers and the egg drop soup too
