    The soup dumplings are great! Best I've found in Portland. Also loved the noodles with pork and shrimp, would definitely recommend both.

    Family style portions and great tasting food. Complimentary self-service tea as well. Inexpensive if you split a meal with at least one other person

    Just around the corner. Counter-order restaurant. It's a small menu, but we never tire of it. One of our favorites!

    Hot soup dumplings with a short wait. Happy hour Sunday to Thursday from 5pm to 6pm doesn’t have much to offer.

    The wait can be long, but once you get a table you can keep ordering as much as you want.

    I really looked forward to trying this place bc I love xlb. Ordered xlb, and some other entree dishes. Unfortunately, the quality does not hold up to the hype. All tastes the same of soy sauce :/
