Lucky Cheetah

This was the perfect place for our date night! The atmosphere & music set the perfect mood. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and Cooper was our server. We were prepared to splurge a bit as we were celebrating me completing a year of anesthesia school, so we let Cooper take the lead and order a variety of plates for us. He ordered about 7 plates for us including steak tartar, rangoons, pork wontons, soup dumplings, corn, bang bang shrimp and the chili chicken (my 6’5 boyfriend can eat 😂). Each plate was brought out one to two at a time at a perfect pace so that you can enjoy each meal without getting overwhelmed or full too fast. All of the food was phenomenal, with the soup dumplings coming out on top. The sauces they include, specifically the black vinegar sauce, paired well with each dish. We had a few rounds of drinks which were delicious. Cooper was knowledgeable and well versed on the entire menu and impressed us with his recommendations and service! Overall you can tell that from the servers, managers & chefs there is an excellent attention to detail. We will be back soon!

Go here for dessert and drinks but maybe not dinner. Atmosphere, decor and service - all perfect. The meal itself was middling, especially given the price. The "sichuan" cucumbers tasted like....plain cucumbers. I didn't even taste salt which was so odd when the presentation is given a lot of attention. Would also recommend against the cold sesame noodles. Something was used to coat them which I can only describe as mush - I'm a sesame lover so I was also surprised when their flavor was barely-there. Now, the stars of the show for us were the crab rangoons, soup dumplings, and the egg tart/black tea ice cream. If you could only get ONE thing, the egg tart blew us away. Both the tart and ice cream were delicious on their own, but paired gave the perfect taste and texture contrast to each other. So delicious.

All about the atmosphere, less about the food. From a food quality perspective, this was sub-par American Chinese food. The orange chicken was basically heavily encrusted southern fried chicken with little orange coating. The beef and broccoli had barely any beef and lacked the bounciness you'd expect with a beef stir fry. The soup dumplings had no soup in them. The cod was swimming in heavily spiced sauce which overwhelmed the delicate fish. The wagyu egg rolls were super greasy. The wontons were over fried. Seems like a place where someone fancied themselves executing fusion Chinese to be in Bon Appetit - not a professional outfit which timed the appetizers and main courses properly. The decor and drinks list were good - but that's it. Go elsewhere if you want decent food that's not overpriced.

Hubby and i were visiting from MA and were really excited for this place. We really wanted to love it. Our waiter was very attentive. The vibe was great, mojito was delish and the baby corn were full of flavor, they were sweet, savory, and spicy all in one. Unfortunately it set the bar high for the rest of the food- but the rest fell flat. The soup dumplings were good- i would get them again. However, the crab/ lobster ragoon, beef bao and waygu egg rolls were all very one note. Not a lot of different flavors. Spent a lot of many on mediocre flavor.

Lucky Cheetah was a good experience! First time coming in and the place is beautiful. The restaurant was not overly loud and had upbeat music in the background (that you can also hear outside). There are some outdoor seating options but it was raining when I went. Initially service was amazing and attentive, but got more lax as we were trying to get the check and leave; we were starting to feel a little forgotten and it wasn't overly busy. The food was DELICIOUS. Everything was cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. We sat in the lounge area, which was perfectly fine for a casual dinner/snack. We ordered 2 appetizers and 1 share plate with a side of rice. Honestly, we didn't need the rice. This place is pricey but was expected from looking at the menu beforehand. Overall, I'd definitely come back!

Obsessed with the vibes. Came here for cocktails and had a great time.

The hype is real! We ordered 6 plates from the top sections and everything we had was excellent. Must order: lobster dumplings, baby corn, and the Sesame washed martini with caviar olives was top tier. Special thanks to Andrew our server who was extremely attentive, personable, and made excellent recommendations. Service was great, music/ambiance vibes were on point. Will be back again before end of this trip for sure!

Vibe is cool/weird, food is horrendous. Can tell it’s someone’s attempt at copying Talde, but forgot that the food has to be edible. $300+ for an awful meal. Service also lacking attention. Tourist trap, and we got got.

Food was disappointing, Portland has so many better options, nice atmosphere and ambiance

A vibe. The music was 2000s hip hop & rap. Obsessed with the decor. My favorite dishes in order: sesame buns, Wagyu egg rolls, wontons, short rib, lucky Rangoon. My sisters really liked the shrimp but I’m allergic. The cocktails are fantastic. Get the spritz and Hello Gorgeous. The coconut cake was too hard but my sister loved it. The caviar ice cream was good.

I’m starting writing more food reviews as I travel all over the world trying yo find great food. This place is truly incredible. Not just the atmosphere or service but the food, the food was incredibly satisfying. Get the Beef, lobster, shrimp & short rib along with some nice drinks.
