Chen's Dynasty II

Fast, efficient service: the water and the menu were at my table a second after I sat. The waitress brought the tea and the soup quickly. The chow fun was tasty and filling with a good ratio of noodles, vegetables, and chicken. The waitress checked in with the customers a few times during my meal, and handled the check and payment with the same professional efficiency. Back again Jan 3 2025 - this time I had the twin kung pao special (chicken and shrimp) served with egg flower soup, spring roll, and a little metal cup of very hot Chinese mustard. All very tasty.

The atmosphere is escapism from the hustle and bustle of inner Portland: Lloyd District. The employees are very friendly and funny: in a very Chinese kinda' way ;-) There is a local bar scene off to the left, to the right is maybe 10 booths, and behind that there are 2 banquet rooms. The food is generally good, the prices fair under the circumstances (2025), the atmosphere is perfect 100% Chinese. Reminds me of some of the off alley restaurants I eat at while in China for 1 year: Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Weihai, ect. But only a few people here (all take-out orders)...so I miss the NOISE....and the CROWD.....of China....other then those 2 things....I love this place. Oh, and the outside could use a bit of paint and a pot-hole or two filled in the parking lot. But for me, it's what's inside.

We had this delivered to us and had a very large order. The food was mediocre at best. The fried rice was flavorless, one of the chicken dishes was supposed to have peppers and came with no peppers and celery. The pot stickers were the best part of the meal.

Not only was the service awful , it took forever and I was charged for packets and for fortune cookies. What Chinese restaurant doesn't give out fortune cookies with purchase and also why the packets of hot mustard , no authenticity at all ?!?! The woman was very cold and rude. The food honestly is way over priced. I will NOT be back and I WILL be telling this to others how awful a experience it was. Place is empty on a Friday dinner rush for a obvious reason. Waste of time And money.

ordered Dynasty chow mein with chicken and shrimp. Online the price was $11.95. when i went to pick up the food they charged me $12.95. When i told the Online price they said we don't know.When i brought the food home, The chicken pieces were size of a peanut and the shrimp was tiny shrimp. It was not like this before. The price went up and the quality is very very low. Not worth going there.

Ordered the salted pepper prawns, dynasty chow fun, and egg rolls. Egg rolls drenched and dripping with oils, inedible. Salted pepper prawns were very greasy and devoid of any flavors of salt or pepper. Chow fun noodles were mushy and had no flavor. Would not recommend.

Beef and broccoli was disgusting. The meat was old and had obviously been cooked a few times. Bland and crumbled in my mouth which shouldn't happen

So I wanted to have a drink and play some video poker the bartender asked me for my ID and I presented my Real ID Oregon Drivers License she took it to the cash register and looked at it and proceeded to tell me that the id didn't belong to me it couldn't possibly be me because she said I wasn't 6ft1inches tall like it said on my Identification and told me to get out I believe that she should carry a tape measure so that she can verify accusations that she makes . I have been a patron at this restaurant for over 10 years.I am very insulted.
