Eastern Cathay Reviews
The best shrimp and soup on the face of the planet. The broth and wontons, there’s no place better in Portland.
I have been looking for sweet and sour spareribs. Found them here and they were fabulous. I got a combo with shrimp and chicken chow mein. The shrimp were excellent and the chicken in the chow mein was really good. Read review so I knew they only did take out. Didn't call ahead, but the bar was open so I waited in there. Food came pretty quick and was nice and hot. Staff were very nice. Had read someone complain about rude treatment but could have just been a bad day....read full review
Great food and excellent friendly service. My new go-to for Chop Suey and shrimp. Can't believe that I didn't know about it.
Dietary restrictions: I always request no sugar. I don't think most people are even aware of that option. Or that Chow Mein even contains sugar. But always no sugar.
Eastern Cathay serves excellent Chinese food with friendly service. The lady at the front is welcoming and helpful, suggesting the best options like fried shrimp, shrimp fried rice, egg foo Yung, and pork chow mein. Customers praise the best Won Ton with outstanding broth and fried shrimp that are described as off the hook. The food quality often exceeds expectations, and the place is appreciated for making an effort to provide good food despite its challenging location. Recent reviews mention that the fried shrimp and sweet and sour spareribs are fabulous, with the latter being a personal favorite. The staff is generally friendly and kind, and the service is quick, especially for takeout orders. Although some reviews note that occasionally the food may be overcooked and dried out, many find the food to be amazing and the atmosphere improving as the restaurant works on cleaning up and renovating. Overall, Eastern Cathay remains a great option for those nearby seeking tasty Chinese dishes without traveling far.
