"Beaverton has long been a hot pot haven, while Happy Valley's Sichuan City is worth a trip for its tongue-tingling bucket fish. But even in Portland proper you can find multiple regions and styles represented, from massive spreads of dim sum to comforting bowls of congee to pots of spicy bullfrog. You can also find a restaurant that's perfect for any occasion, whether it's solo takeout or a group dinner."
"Though the restaurant served Chinese American food originally, chef and co-owner Wendy Li took over the business in 2017 and overhauled the menu, focusing on the cuisine of the Dongbei region where she grew up. Dumplings are the big draw, each wrapper rolled out by hand for optimal silkiness and stuffed with fillings ranging from pork with Chinese sauerkraut to leeks with scrambled egg, simply boiled and served with garlicky soy dipping sauce."
"First opened in Independence, Oregon, the family-owned Cantonese restaurant Happy Dragon moved to Portland in 2018, and our city's Chinese food scene is all the better for it. Red and gold fill the spacious dining room and lazy Susans adorn the massive round tables, all evoking a big-city Chinatown teahouse. The menu matches, filled with page after laminated page of Cantonese and Chinese-American dishes-noodle soups, eggplant in garlic sauce,"
Portland's Chinese food scene includes multiple regional styles and quality restaurants across the metro area. Beaverton specializes in hot pot; Happy Valley's Sichuan City offers bucket fish. A 75-year-old restaurant under chef Wendy Li now focuses on Dongbei cuisine with handmade dumplings, cold la pi noodles, and hearty winter casseroles with pork belly, sweet potato noodles, and cabbage in bone broth. Happy Dragon, a family-owned Cantonese restaurant moved to Portland in 2018, features a red-and-gold dining room with lazy Susans and an extensive menu of Cantonese and Chinese-American dishes including noodle soups and eggplant in garlic sauce.
