Republic Cafe and Ming Lounge offers late-night American-style Chinese cuisine in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. It is a vintage treasure trove of old school Chinese American food, and it remains one of the last Chinese American restaurants and dive bars in a Chinatown that used to be full of them. The menu features a variety of dishes, including ginger mushroom beef, combo plates with fried shrimp, pork lo mein, and egg foo young, which are described as "pretty damn tasty" and "phenomenal." The Singapore Noodles are highly recommended. Despite its dive-like appearance, the restaurant has a loyal following and friendly owners. The Ming Lounge completes the dreamy experience with its friendly vibe, and they also host DIY shows, making it an irreplaceable gem in gentrified Portland. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, with no steps and ADA accommodations for the physically impaired. Service is quick, with meals arriving about 15 minutes after ordering, and the bartender is known for making a mean Bloody Mary. Overall, Republic Cafe and Ming Lounge is a beloved Portland icon offering a nostalgic dining experience.
