I had just finished an escape room nearby and was on the hunt for something satisfying when I stumbled across Chin’s Kitchen. It’s not fancy, and that’s usually fine by me—some of the best meals I’ve ever had came from hole-in-the-wall spots. When I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly, which was a great start. The space definitely has an older vibe and could use a bit of a refresh, but I was hopeful that the food would speak for itself. The menu was large—maybe too large—and I felt a little overwhelmed, so I asked the waitress (who seemed like the one in charge) to steer me in the right direction. She confidently told me the top three dishes on the menu, and I chose one of them: the shrimp dumplings. The smell from the kitchen was amazing, so I had high hopes… but when the dish arrived, it looked like a bowl of raw dough. There was no garnish, no color—nothing to bring the plate to life. I took a bite and immediately felt like I was chewing through uncooked bread dough. It was thick, heavy, and lacked any of the delicate texture I was expecting. I actually started peeling off the dough and just eating the shrimp mixture inside, which was quite flavorful. The dipping sauce was also tasty, but overall, it just missed the mark for me. I started to feel guilty writing this, but I really did give them the opportunity to wow me with their “best.” I saw other plates coming out of the kitchen that looked far more appetizing, so I’d be willing to give Chin’s Kitchen another shot—but I won’t be ordering the dumplings again.

Very happy that I chose Chin's Kitchen to cater for my workplace's Lunar New Year celebration lunch! I ordered an assortment of noodle bowls and dumplings (12 pieces in each tupperware container). Chin herself delivered them and the catering process was so easy: made the order with ezcater on the website and had the order approved in less than a day. Delivery to downtown Portland office was only about $70. Everything was clearly labeled in their tupperware boxes (I chose to order noodle bowls for easier cleanup). And the food was delicious! The noodles had a great hand-pulled consistency, and the chili oil with our noodles woke them up, and a good proportion of noodles to vegetables. The Spicy & Sour potato noodles were my favorite, such a unique taste! The dumplings had generous amounts of filling and Chin was thoughtful enough to provide lots of sauces and chili oil for dipping. Highly recommend the food and especially catering from them for your next event! I can't wait to order more delicious Chinese food from them! Now I have to watch the episode with them featured in DDD with Guy Fieri! Thanks Chin!

Best old school, Chinese-American restaurant that I've found in Portland. Their BBQ pork and Singapore curry noodles are my favorites. And there's a dive bar attached!

Unassuming building, quaint cute interior, amazing service and good food. This is the Chinese restaurant I've been looking for in Portland. Lunch special are worth the price of admission. Good sized portions and family friendly environment. Seems like lots of the surrounding neighbors regularly come here.

Clean restaurant! There's slot machine, they have pinball machine and pole table. There's an atm machine inside there for cash withdrawal. They have a bar with a variety of alcohol drink. The Chinese food is great. They do karaoke 🎤 on Saturday. Parking is free and easy to find. Employees there are neutral, no sarcastic, conceited, or bad attitude. The waiting time for food was about 10-15 minutes.

I had a bad case of the flu for several weeks, I stopped by to have some hot and sour soup. The combination of roots, herbs & spices in that, breaks a cold down. Allowing me to sweat it out. For years I've used that Chinese soup recipe because it revitalizes my system and energized my immune system. Once again it did the trick, and it tastes fantastic. I ordered the combo plate too, absolutely wonderful. The food and service was great and being that was my first time there, I'll be back often. Now I have a Chinese restaurant to enjoy

Another video poker stop Basic bar with breakfast munch and dinner Chinese American food. Nice bar Close at 11. Video poker mostly go during the day. Friendly enough group. Decent service most always. I. My list of places I do enjoy going to.

Absolutely terrible customer service! Old woman who worked on Sunday morning on September 22nd, was rude and unprofessional. I was shocked to be asked for ID when ordering a simple cup of coffee. It’s absurd to have to show identification just to grab a cup of coffee at 7am on a Sunday morning (!) .The atmosphere felt unwelcoming, she didn’t bother to explain this policy, and her attitude was dismissive. She also brought frozen cream with my coffee, ignored when I tried to tell it and didn’t apologized for it. 0/5 would not recommend to go there and waste your time

We've been eating here for a long time. It's been consistently good, and the portions are healthy. There are lots to choose from off the menu, and they also offer specials such as their homemade noodles. I love their wontons in spicy chili oil and soups, too. Staff is always friendly. They have a parking lot and video poker in the back room. I'm glad that they are still around after the pandemic.

Exceptional Chinese food— brought back great memories from my childhood. Been looking forward to eating here. Our server made informed suggestions based on fav’s from he and returning customers. Excellent service—-What a gem!

A little no frills place serving very delicious cantonese style roasted pork-belly, bbq pork, duck and steamed chicken. I had the pork-belly and roasted duck, both of which were generous portions and delicious! only wished the meats were warmer but perfectly cooked! Great value, highly recommend!

Well.... I've had duck, even cooked myself that was MUCH better than this. It came out of their warming case out front. It was luke warm at best and honestly taste like it was rancid. The Pork belly was pretty tasty but I really couldn't enjoy it with the thought in my mind that the other meat was spoiled.. it may not have been, but it sure didn't taste right. People are friendly, restaurant seems pretty dirty too... gave it a try and this one is a NO from me..

My family and I stopped in here yesterday on our way home for Mother's Day and were very impressed with everything that we ordered. We are from Eastern Washington and we unfortunately don't have many Chinese restaurants left that have decent food. However, China Star is definitely one that we will return to whenever we are on the road. The portions were the largest that I have ever seen. The prices were extremely reasonable, and the service was good. We had lots of leftovers which still tasted great the day after. 10/10 🩵

Great food, been to alot of other Chinese restaurants & I will say this is best in a long time.. Super fast service... Shrimp lo mein is very good... Orange chicken & pineapple chicken was delicious... Crab puffs are not too sweet & can taste the crab in them... Sesame chicken was very good... Plenty of room at booths for larger people to fit in them...

Very large portions, very clean environment, cheerful & happy staff. Will return often.

Not only was everyone incredibly welcoming and friendly but the food was amazing! So glad they are up and running, I'll be ordering from here constantly. Found my new go to to-go spot and it's within walking distance!

First of all, let me say the sweet-and-sour shrimp was fantastic. The fried rice was really good. The flavor of the crab wontons was a little off. The service was great. Staff was extremely pleasant. Again sweet-and-sour shrimp was really good. Food was hot and fresh. Food came out extremely fast. Place is a little bit of a dive in one of the seedier strip malls in Gresham. For $12 it was a good value for my lunch. I’m full. Thank you Chu’s I will be back for lunch again someday.

The food wasn’t the best like it used to be??? But service and everything else was fantastic! Super clean and nice atmosphere and environment and super amazingly staff! I’m gonna come back to try more food options!

We found our new spot! The portions were perfect, they had it ready quickly, and everything tasted great! Not soaked with sauces, not artificial. Just great food! The only thing I'd prefer is more eco friendly packaging but that's takeout for ya!

Another local mom and pop spot located in the Eastside. The interior is spacious and the people working were friendly.  They have some lunch specials that you can get,  which is of good portion.  I ordered the Szechuan Beef over fried rice.  The dish was very flavorful.  I added a cup of egg flower, which was also good.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Rainbow Dragon is a hidden gem! The General Tso's chicken is perfection – crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. The egg rolls? Absolute heaven. You can taste the love and care in every bite. But the atmosphere tells a different story. The owner is a real character – friendly and welcoming – but you can tell the restaurant hasn’t fully bounced back from COVID. The space feels a bit run down, and these days it seems to cater mostly to video lottery players. Still, the charm of the food and the owner’s kindness make it worth stopping by, even if the vibe isn’t quite what it used to be.

Rainbow dragon has been around for years! Iv been coming here since I was a child and it’s become a bi weekly restaurant for us! Henry is the owner and he is so genuine and kind. The food is great and always hits the spot! We love the almond chicken and spare ribs with fried rice!

Truly blown away at how good and fresh their food is!! The service was super kind and fast too! I can't recommend them enough must try!! The bbq pork alone is the best we've ever had!!! Price and portions are amazing too!! Local family owned we found out too! We are so coming back!!

The food is phenomenal! The service is phenomenal! The atmosphere is so relaxing. This is truly an amazing restaurant! My boyfriend and I took our children with us and the owner was so welcoming and kind to us! The food was out of this world delicious! They truly deserve more then 5 stars
