HK is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I've been coming here for probably about 8 years now (and one of the waitresses, Vivian, always remembers me. She's an absolute sweetheart).

I've mostly gone for dinner but one of these days I'll go to cart-service dim sum as well, though they do have dim sum selections during dinner. Their sesame chicken is one of those dishes where I could eat it everyday and still love it. And their Xiao long bao is the baseline to which I compare all other soup dumplings. So good. Another favorite is eggplant in tangy sauce. A trick I use to gauge the quality of Chinese food is the texture of the rice--if it doesn't go hard and dry after putting leftovers into the fridge, that restaurant uses good quality rice (hint: HK passes the test). Despite the high volume of dishes prepared, all their food feels so fresh and lovingly prepared. Family who used to live 5 hours away would request going to dinner here every time they visited, that's how tasty it is.

I just really love this place and would eat here every week if I could.

Arguably the best dim sum in the portland area - mostly the standard dishes but all done well. Expect to wait, but the food is worth it. Service is better than the standard dim sum restaurant.

Food was nasty. I almost threw up. Went to the bathroom and there was a cockroach in the sink. The fresh fish in the tank were dying. Don't eat here.

Okay, you gotta remember the culture that produces this kind of dining experience. For some, it might come off as terribly crowded, but the food is great, and I really didn't lack for service. The only advice I would have for first timers, pace yourself, and don't be afraid to ask for a specific item, they will be delighted to get it to you.

When the place is hopping at 10:30am on a Monday morning, you know it's got to be good. When you're the only white person in the building ... You KNOW it's gonna be good.
The tea is so good it puts most other Chinese restaurants to shame. The pork buns, the shrimp shumai, the pork, the duck, the soup dumplings, the sesame buns, the beef rice noodles ... All of it ... ALL OF IT is GOOD. Seasoning is light, but everything is flavorful.
The only problem you'll have is that you won't have enough room in your stomach to try everything.
Three of us were stuffed to the gills for $25 per person ($30 each with tip).
I highly recommend eating here.

This is a large HongKong style restaurant which was jam packed on the Sunday I went there. The fact that most of the diners were Chinese American testifies to its authenticituy. It's best to eat here with several friends or relatives so you can sample many of the dishes.

Wheelchair accessibility: Staff will seat you where you have the greatest accessibility.

They got like half of our order wrong haha. We didn't worry that much cause they food they got us was still good, but the service might need a bit of focus. Probably coming back soon for a round two, definitely a solid spot for dim sum.
