I was looking for somewhere to grab lunch while my mom was in surgery, so I went in here after seeing the bar from the window. I was disappointed once I found out the bar is permanently closed, because of the pandemic. I decided to stay anyways and have lunch. Amd I am so grateful I did. The service was top notch. Very friendly, and the food was so fast. And I can't tell you how delicious it was. I took my leftovers home and shared with my partner. Leftovers are never that good, but he couldn't stop thinking about it for days, and is still bugging me to take him here. We'll be back soon!

We had the braised pork belly with brussel sprouts and the Singapore noodles with shrimp. Very authentic and perfectly seasoned. Reminded me of my great aunt's Chinese cooking from my youth.

Incredible place. Get the red curry soy curry noodles, mu shu chicken, pork belly noodle soup, shrimp dumplings, or ma po tofu. Nothing bad to say the people here are great and I've been going here for years. 6

The Vegan Soy Curls Potstickers are filled with spice-infused soy curls, napa cabbage, and shiitake, and pan-fried to a golden brown. They are flavorful even without sauce. The Cherry Tofu includes fried tofu, broccoli, minced garlic, and ginger. Be sure to order a side of rice to soak up the tangy Peking sauce.

Portland is extremely lacking when it comes to quality Chinese food, & unfortunately Kung POW is no exception. The sister restaurant of Shandong has consistently offered a vegetables section as well as a tofu/soy curls section on their menu, however dishes come protein-heavy with a sparse array of vegetables given the prices (entrees do not come with rice, either).

I've order take out from here and it was great. Yesterday was our first time going in and it was fast and delicious. Our waiter was kind and attentive. They are also open until 10pm which is nice for those of us thay work late. Will definitely be going back!

Portions are small, chicken breast pieces were huge chunks and really dry. Doesn't seem like much effort was put into preparation and the food was hastily sent out . Rice was extra. $17 for some mediocre sweet and sour chicken. Not sure how you could mess up such a simple dish and charge so much. Won't be going back ??

I walked by this restaurant a lot. Finally tried. It's not very good. We ordered Clay Pot MaPo Tofu, Snow Pea Fillet Fish and Dry Sauteed Green Beans. Mapo Tofu tasted a little sour. Fish not very fresh. The Green Bean dish was very good. In my opinion, Lin Garden is way better.
Surprisingly good experience. The food was remarkably good. Definitely worth checking out.
