"We 're from LA, so I 'm sorry(? and also this is thus far the best Chinese restaurant we 've been to in Portland in the 8 years we 've lived here. We settled on thinking we just won 't experience the same dining for Chinese food in this city. Soo la voo. We 've been to all the spots you 're thinking of and nope, Gold Garden was better tonight. Even my Chinese/Filipina mother said this is better than [that spot you 're thinking of]. Sooo flavorful, huge portions, and such friendly service, even understanding our 7mo and 6.8yo had needs to address too. If you 're also used to and wondering about restaurant 'health ' grades in Portland, this spot received 100/A+ with its last inspection. These portions are family style and the menu with dining experience is just like spots we grew up going to, down to the soda can with straw. We ordered: deep fried crab Hong Kong style with garlic (omg delicious! , enoki mushroom and tofu, Chinese broccoli, salt and pepper shrimp and squid, soup dumplings, fish maw soup, and duck with pineapple (not our fav . Yes, we had a ton of leftovers for the coming days you know Asian mamas. Parking: Behind the building are some spots, and there is one handicap on the side, otherwise street parking is available."
