We ordered three dishes for 2 people. The beef roll is delicious, love the thin wrap. The stir fried green beans is a bit salty. The beef and tofu dish had lots of tofu and beef in there but it has too much liquid, it’s also the wrong kind of tender tofu for this dish. Overall everything taste good, big portion, we were not able to finish everything.
We were there for an early lunch so not many people were in the restaurant. The waitress seemed to talk to everyone except us. We finally had to flag her down to order. My husband ordered orange chicken. It was like ketchup was poured over the extremely dry and overcooked chicken pieces. The orange chicken from Safeway tastes better. The fried rice had ZERO flavor. The waitress never checked back with us. We had to get up and get our own forks sugar packets to drink the tea. Literally some of the worst food and service I’ve ever experienced.
It was a dark and stormy night, as we say in Portland, and we were chilled too. And hungry. We had planned to try Duck House for the first time after seeing our matinee show, and so we did. It turned out to be an excellent decision in several ways. Tea arrived quickly, and drink orders were taken. The menu was difficult-- more choices than we knew how to decide. In the end, we turned out to be almost brilliant. Alas, only "almost." The egg flower soup was surprisingly sweet, which was a little disappointing. I had expected a more salted flavor. My wife thought that it might have been because of the corn, but I'm not sure. Still, it was good, it was hot, and we were glad that it came as quickly as it did. The entrees were also quite good. My salty and pepper squid was cooked as well, I think, as squid can be cooked. The texture was perfect! Salt level was also right where it should be for my taste. This was an amazing performance! The chow fun my wife ordered was also very much to her satisfaction. Both of us this pleased in the same restaurant on the same night? Wow! So, why not rate the restaurant as excellent? Well... television. There were televisions broadcasting basketball games on every wall. I know that many people really like that. Many people were at the bar and watching while they enjoyed a drink, and that's fine. Personally, I find it distracting. We will happily go back to Duck House, but will look to see if there's a more "blinded"place to sit.
Was very busy on Saturday lunch but thankfully we made a reservation so were able to just walk in. Tried many different dishes and all were good. Some favorites were the Xiao long bao, beef rolls, eggplant with garlic sauce, twice cooked pork, pan fried buns, stir fried snow pea leaves and A choy... Even the eggs and tomato dish was great.
This is a very popular Chinese restaurant near Portland State University that has a versatile menu so that you can stop by for drinks and dim sum or a classic full-course meal. The place is busy with very fast and efficient staff cleaning and prepping tables, taking orders and serving food like a frenetic ballet. The food is very good, well prepared in generous servings. The menu is huge, but oddly does not include its namesake duck! Drinks include both domestic and Asian beers.
This place was amazing. I enjoyed their dishes so much, starting with the eggplant with hot garlic sauce, it was the perfect amount of garlic and sweetness, not too spicy, it was fresh too and hot in temperature. I enjoyed the fish filet in Szechuan sauce, I could feel the peppers numb my mouth and it complimented greatly with the eggplant and the wontons. I found it a perfect balance because the wontons w/Szechuan chili was neither spicy nor numbing. I enjoyed my dinner it was so delicious. I also ordered an old fashioned, It was the perfect amount of alcohol and they do not skimp out on you. I feel that my money was well put to use I would definitely come back!
We arrived at opening and within minutes the place was buzzing.We enjoyed the Hot and Sour Soup and I had the Mongolian Chicken with the fried rice. Everything tasted fresh and had great flavors. The space is clean and bright. We left full and satisfied.
One of the better Sichuan restaurant ive been too. Food was superb. Definitely worth checking out
We got there 15 minutes after it opened and it was getting busy. But everything was great from the service, the communication and the food. We ordered the soup dumplings and szechuan chili oil wontons. Moving from bay area in California, I can be a bit picky and snobby when it comes to Asian food. But this really hit the spot in quality and taste. Also the service made it a lot better of an experience.Also they have a full bar which is genius! We will come back.
Chinese New Year is fast approaching so I decided to go get some of my favorite dumplings. The Szechuan Pork Dumplings are exceptional and I love the Chile oil sauce that surrounds them. In the past I have enjoyed other varieties of Dim Sum too. On this visit we devoured the Kung Pao Chicken and the Beef with Green Beans. Both dishes were delicious and the green beans were crispy and seasoned perfectly. Our server was efficient and our food came out piping hot and quickly! I so enjoyed dining in.
