We were really excited to try this spot in Portland after perusing the must-try spots for dinner.

The dim sum is at San Fransisco levels, it's as good as Yank Sing which was my favorite dim sum restaurant in SF. Its much better than any dim sum in Boston or Lowell. The selection is more limited than other dim sum restaurants but everything they offer is terrific. Our favorite was the Peking duck buns, its the best Peking duck that I've ever had. The surprise was the shumai. I normally think of shumai as the least interesting dumpling, but the flavor of their shumai was terrific....read full review

Been coming to Portland for 7 years since I moved from Mississippi to New England. After falling into a rut with the old faithful spots, we needed something new and boy did this place not fall short. We ordered the Ch Sa Chicken, Chinatown Pork, Lobster and Pork Belly Baos. We ordered extra on the pork and chicken and fried. Thanks to Troy (Trey? Sorry we were too distracted over the food) for putting up with us and humoring our feast. 10/10 coming back.
