The food and service here are so great! I have been looking for a really good Asian restaurant since I moved to Newport News. I finally found it. My friend and I decided to celebrate Galentine's Day by having Asian food and then hitting a favorite store. She has been going to Port Arthur for decades. As soon as we walked in, she was recognized and treated like family. We ordered dinner for two - General Tso's Chicken and Moo Goo Gai Pan. The appetizer soup was delicious and filling, followed by absolutely heavenly egg rolls. And then the main course! So terrific!! And service could not be beat. We never had to ask for beverage refills and our server stopped by twice to ask if the food was to our liking. The prices were very reasonable too. In short, we completely enjoyed our dining experience at Port Arthur, and I can't wait to go back.

We usually get take out from here because it is ALWAYS fresh and delicious. We might wait 39 minutes, but it’s that good. They can even be heated up for tasty leftovers, which a lot of other Chinese places can’t. Yum.

Best Chinese food in this area and very friendly and attentive staff providing excellent service. The restaurants success and long history are easy to understand when you taste the food. I wish I would have enjoyed a meal here sooner. The atmosphere is nice and well cared for but a bit bright for my taste...a lot of white walls blending into the ceiling with bright lighting.

I love coming here! The service is outstanding, portions are huge, flavors great, prices are reasonable - what's not to love?? I had the pu pu tray and the teriyaki chicken was not dome stringy piece of meat like other places serve but nice portions of juicy, tender well-seasoned chicken. Bonus: sear them across this cute little table grill! Drinks were good too ? Zombie was well done and flaming volcano ? Spicy scallops was excellent (7 big scallops) sauce had heat but quite good.

The Duck & Wings are perfectly crispy on the outside tender on the inside. Whole menu is packed with flavorful items! I've eaten here several times they are constantly delicious. Sweet people who give great service. They could probably add a few more options to the non alcoholic drink menu.
Great place to eat. The services is great. The food is made to order. The best moo goo gai pan you ever had. The soups i& spring rolls are outrageously delicious.Vegetarian options: They make it to order

I have been looking for a Chinese restaurant from my childhood....you know...the one with tablecloths and silver serving dishes and tea sets...the pu pu platter with the fire and really good dishes. This place did not disappoint. We got the Mongolian beef and it was tender and it wasn't all green onion .... It had a nice amount of beef. Tasty and not overly oniony. The sweet and sour chicken was better than most. Not greasy and right amount of breading. The sweet and sour sauce was wonderfully sweet AND sour. It was overall a good experience. The pu pu platter was alright thought I was slightly disappointed in the offerings....all chicken and little else. That's why not a 5 star but we will be going back! Ambiance was simple and service was good!
