   I can’t get enough of Lucky Cheetah and that oxtail noodle (everything else tastes delicious) but that is my favorite. I would also like to thank the bartender who keeps making my Lychee Martinis!

   Everything was absolutely incredible! It’s hard not to order the entire menu, so definitely go hungry and order a bunch of plates to share. From service, to cocktails and ending with the best coffee ice cream ever, I can’t say enough great things! Sitting right by the service bar too, watching the staff interact in a fun, lively and respectful way was refreshing. You can tell they all work very well as a team. I’ll be back and recommending to anyone looking for an excellent dining experience in Portland! Thank you BOH and FOH!

   I’ve been here three times I love this place and I love the atmosphere and the stuff is wonderful. I have loved the food. The first two times I came. This time was a huge disappointment.

   We were greeted with free champagne because I was celebrating a new job and the service was amazing! It was a great first experience with them ✨

   Beautiful space and vibe! Cannot believe this was the once the Old Port Tavern. Service top notch from hostess to manager to servers. Fun cocktails and great food.

   Outstanding spot! Have been multiple times now, and each time has been great, whether just for drinks at the bar or a full meal. Menu is somewhat limited but we have tried most everything on there by now and it is all amazing- especially the bao. Food comes out hot and quick too (as it is prepared, so not all at once, but that wasn't a problem) We shared two large plates and three small plates off the menu and it was more than enough food for 4 hungry guys. Excellent atmosphere with classic 90s music in the background. Comfortable spot in the corner with couches for lounging after dinner over a drink. Very personable, friendly and efficient staff. Great bartenders (shout out to Ed). Only open currently from 5 to 9, but they do not rush you at all. Really glad we found the Cheetah

   The food was ok. Underwhelming. Some of the dumplings were still cold and frozen in the center while the egg rolls were fried to death. The food also feel short with seasoning and spice.

    The setting: Went here for a friends birthday with 3 couples. I let the restaurant know on our reservation it was our friend's birthday. The wait staff recommended 2-3 dishes per person. Each couple ordered 4-5 dishes and one beverage for each person. The ambiance is dark but beautifully decorated, moody, and luxe. The noise level was moderate, it was easy to have a conversation and the music wasn't too loud. 90s/ 00s/ 10s hip hop and R&B was playing during our visit. Now for the experience: We ordered relatively quick upon arrival. The waitress was attentive, but the service was overall very slow. Our drinks took a very long time to come out. We ordered two "fancy" drinks and the rest were simple beers/ sodas. We had to toast our birthday girl with water because we were waiting so long. The first thing to come out was a cucumber dish that was very delicious and unique. Then our other small plates arrived. All of them were Asian-fusion type dishes that were nothing to write home about. We all felt they were trying very hard but not in a productive way; Beef claiming to be wagyu was chewy and sinew-y. Lobster and crab were more like tuna salad, etc. The dessert menu was very random and did not at all reflect an Asian fusion menu. Considering the exorbitant prices as well. Then the drinks arrived. We were all happy with the drinks besides the delay. Then things got annoying: We were almost finished eating and I tried to order a piece of cake and I was hoping the waitress would take the hint, but she sporadically brought over a very small, awkward sip of "sparkling wine" for our birthday girl. She then brought the coconut cake, which was spectacular. It was jumbled and random and not very cohesive. We were hoping the cake would be complimentary, not the awkward sip of champagne, considering we had a $600+ tab. Gratuity was included because our party was large. In sum, worth a visit maybe once or to enjoy some bougee drinks. We won't be back for a meal again.
