Shandong Restaurant

This is a honest authentic review. It’s NOT Chinese food if you are looking for what it’s called. The fried rice is ok, northern beef is sweet and salty without broccoli which is not how to picture shows, burned? dumplings is a no no where it’s never near homemade thank to 99 ranch where you can buy a whole lot in the frozen section with $14. Not recommended and will never come again

Oh god where do I start I love here so so much. Trying to eat through the menu but I’ve been craving tofu and ate this soy succulence today 😅🥵😮‍💨🤤good food is a gift omg my belly is very happy and grateful

The staff were very helpful and quick. We purused the menu and picked several items to try. The pot stickers are big (like 3 pot stickers)! They are handmade and were delicious! After that, the shrimp chow mein, Shandong beef, pork fried rice, & sweet and sour chicken all came out. The portions were large and easily shared family style.

I can only rate the food because I ordered on Uber Eats but I got the cashew chicken chow mein kung pao chicken and the Szechuan spicy chicken. No one in my family of 4 ate it. It was honestly the worst thing I've tried in along time. Not only was it not anything close to Chinese I've ever had ot lacked a good taste to anything. I hate giving bad reviews but man I spent over 70 bucks and ended up throwing in a frozen pizza.

The food was great ! My favorite is their Mapo Tofu with pork. It was an amazing taste. Their chicken curry in clay pot was delicious as well. A little disappointed on the chicken wings. It says Fried dry chicken wings, but it came out very saucy . Their service was slow that night, they were very busy and only two waiters working. They served my Mapo Tofu without pork when I ordered it with pork. Of course, I wasn't happy about that. I'm willing to pay more for it. I politely told them about it, and they changed it. I'm glad I spoke up. Overall, I'm planning to come back and try it again someday.

I believe this place is under new management. They need to get it together or the place will not survive. The sweet and sour chicken overdone. I used to love it. The famous garlic green beans used to be a thing to dream about ordering, this stuff was close to being soggy and had NO flavor. The rice, the grains were falling apart and didn't have that high quality rice scent that I lo ve. I ordered pot stickers, and I got some sorta breaded pork ball. The filling was flavorless, we ate the centers and tossed the very greasy breading. We ate more than we should cause we were hungry. Who ever owns this now is trying to replicate the original owners. If there were any positives, I liked the reusable carry out bags and the food was ready within 20 mins and the host was friendly. But, I dont want to spend over $50 on 3 terrible items in a great carry out bag. Not going back!

Searching for a satisfying Chinese food experience in Portland? Look no further than Shandong. This restaurant offers a decent culinary journey through Chinese flavors that won't disappoint. Upon stepping into Shandong, you're greeted with the enticing aroma of hot and fresh dishes, promising a delightful dining experience. One standout dish that captured my taste buds was the soup dumplings. These little pillows of joy are bursting with flavor, delivering a delightful explosion with each bite. It's no wonder they quickly became my favorite. While I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to visit Shandong, if you happen to find yourself in the area, it's definitely worth checking out. The food is served up quickly, allowing you to satisfy your cravings without a long wait. Plus, the overall experience is a solid option for those seeking a taste of authentic Chinese cuisine in Portland.

Came in for a door dash order on Christmas Eve. Ended up waiting over an hour. They're we're at least 20 people standing around the front counter waiting for orders. It was a disorganized disaster. They seemed short staffed, not prepared, and not one employee provided any noteable customer service (or smiled for that matter). In fact the only time I heard any of them talk was when they were calling out orders for people that weren't even standing there. I heard people saying they had been waiting nearly two hours. If you are going to be open on Christmas Eve and Christmas why wouldn't you be a little more prepared. There was no system in place. I felt bad for the people dining in. The food was bland, overcooked, and meh. I wouldn't choose to dine here ever again. I came here for Thanksgiving many years ago, and I felt the same way then. Also very expensive for what you get.

There are some real winners on this menu combine traditional and American styles Chinese food. The dry fry wings are incredible! Other highlights for us are the Shandong Beef and dumplings. The dumplings were so good we ate them before we could take a picture. Service is quick, plenty of beers available. This is a repeat visit spot for us. It's clean and cozy inside, can get a bit packed if they have a rush but that's fine.

So it tried to order and the waiter was rude and told they're closing even though not until an hour. We opted for two items, cashew chicken and sweet and sour pork. The cashew chicken lacked flavor, with chicken pieces coated in a sticky white sauce. While a few cashews were included, the addition of a lone green pea seemed out of place. Additionally, the sweet and sour pork was disappointing as it lacked the promised red bell peppers. My friend even had to search her plate and only found two small pieces. Regrettably, there was nothing particularly memorable or standout about our experience here.

We have been going to Shandong for years! We love it! We do have some favorites: The Garlic/Green beans, Mongolian Beef, Moo Shu Chicken, and theGwai Wer Noodles are all fantastic. But the Pot Stickers are the star of the show! The best pot stickers in Portand. by far. Ask the wait staff to show you the 3:2:1 sauce pour for them. In Portland, it is hard to find consistency with resturants. This place is always consistent and we feel like we laways get our money's worth. Never a bad experience.

Food was good, take out service was good. Be warned that they will add a 15% tip onto your order. I don't mind tipping, but $20 for takeout was excessive and I didn't approve it.

I love this little place. While I've had mixed experiences dinning in, their food is always a hit for me. It's advertised as Northern Chinese, so check the menu first and don't expect typical American Chinese dishes. My usual order is the hot and sour soup ($12, though I swear it's $10 at lunch, don't quote me on that), and it's the best I've ever had. Full of whole prawns, big (baking soda for tenderness?) pieces of chicken, mushrooms (two kinds), and tofu. It's peppery, sour and reheats well. And for that price, 32 oz. Enough for two meals, or one big soup day. If you're looking for something a bit different, this is a good option. Parking can be a bit tricky, as I believe the "lot" is for another business or for the community center. Will add some pics on my next trip!

WOW! This is the best Chinese restaurant I've gone to the entire time I have lived in Oregon! The restaurant itself has seen better days, tears in upholstery, bars on the windows, but I'm here for the food and they hit it out of the park with fresh ingredients, nice sized pieces of meats and vegetables (no minced chicken in that fried rice), and wonderful flavors. They also have friendly staff and I can tell they make an effort to keep their guests coming back. I will definitely be back.

Lunched with a friend recently at Shandong, and while the nearly empty restaurant's decor was nice enough and the location was convenient the food we were served was clearly uninspired and disappointing. We picked two items off the lunch menu: cashew chicken and sweet and sour pork. The cashew chicken was extremely bland, with the pieces of chicken coated with a sticky white sauce. The dish included a couple of cashews and for some reason a single green pea. The sweet and sour pork failed to include red bell peppers. My friend went through her plate searching for them and finally found only two small pieces. Sadly, nothing really distinct or noteworthy here.

Almost a year later came back and very disappointed. Cashew chicken is a 1 - boiled chicken with six cashews, a few pieces of red pepper and onion that were not cooked with the meat. Almost tasteless. Mu Shu Pork - 2. And a disaster with pancakes that fell apart with any hint of moisture and overcooked pork and veggies. Service - virtually none. A no come back for me. Sad because when I first came here a few years back it was a 5. Then last year dropped to a 3 and now a 2.

After driving the struggle Bus looking for Chinese food in Portland , I finally found one . Price was not bad , quality was good and portions were what I consider large! I ordered delivery which is always a risk :/ this did not disappoint.

Went to Shandong for lunch this week with my bestie. When we go out, we over order so we have leftovers and can try several things. Comfortable setting with booths and tables. Seems like the owner is the waitress. We tried the pot stickers. They were big, but more dough than meat. Tasty, but bready and they did not have the traditional dipping sauce and the waitress pointed me to the soy sauce. Ok but not great. The hot and sour soup was a bell ringer. Good hot and sour soup is the rest of and Asian kitchen, in my estimation. The sautéed green beans were plump and juicy. Quite nice! Last to arrive was the Tan Tan noodles. Interesting texture, lovely sauce. They arrived late enough that we mostly took them home and enjoyed them for lunch the next day. If you asked me, I would say that this place is pretty solid. I don't think they are going to win a James Beard award but is a good place to pick up a tasty meal.

It's been quite a while since I last dined here. We were in the area and opted to eat here for a quick lunch. The place wasn't packed, and we were able to get served right away. I did notice more take out orders versus dining in. We did order a couple of lunch specials to share - spicy dry fried chicken and the Singapore noodles. The Singapore noodles were pretty good, and the spicy dry fried chicken was decent. The portions were very healthy and enough for another meal.

Be Chinese food in all of Oregon. I love it so much. Great options, amazing taste, and always the same product. Very clean too.

love this restaurant so much I always get shrimp dumplings made here with black tiger shrimp, ginger and green chives so flavorful and fresh with generous portions. love the spicy dry fried chicken ask for extra dry fry sauce enough for two meals The food reminds me of San Francisco Chinatown I love the dry sautéed green beans I know they make their noodles in house. I appreciate the kindness and efficiency of the staff. The freshness of produce, meat and seafood show me their attention to detail. bon ap petit

Haven't been here since the pandemic, very quiet for a Saturday- but it just meant we didn't have to wait long at all for our food. Their food os as good as I remember- except for the sweet & sour chicken, too dry, breaded and didn't have any tang. Anyway, we'll def return when we're back in town.

I saw some negative reviews but decided to chance it anyway and was very pleasantly surprised. The service was very friendly and the food was so quick my boyfriend said he would give it 5 stars based on that alone. We ordered the Mongolian beef and the tan tan noodles which are house made. The servings were generous and we both liked our dish. Having the Mongolian beef on top of the tan tan noodles was especially *chefs kiss*.

Been ordering cashew chicken here for years and tonight we received this pale stuff. Would enjoy a refund. Gross

This was such a great lunch! We were seated fast and ordered quick too. The food was on the table just a little bit later. The Kung Pao Beef was amazing, I ordered the medium heat and it was delicious! Next time I may spice it up (pun intended) and go a little hotter. The meat and peppers were cooked perfectly. I cleaned the plate off and the serving was BIG! Great value, great service, and great food! Check them out!

We went for Christmas take-out, it took an hour or so, but was our best prepared meal from Shandong yet. The food was cooked a little less than normal (not overcooked)--it was amazing. Well worth the wait. I will have to go back and see if this is an overall change or due to them being rushed on Christmas.

I hadn't been here in more than a decade and the last time I was, it was a bit... Pok Pok-y. It's been a while since that's meant anything, so let me explain. At one point in its history, Portland was known for restaurants specializing in some of the best cuisines from around the world--but almost as if viewed through a gauze filter. Pok Pok was the first place I remember it: Highly stylized decor and dress, menus built around signature items, less traditional and more interpretive. Other concepts like P.R.E.A.M., Bollywood Theater and Screen Door fell into this category--"hey, it's regional, but it's Portland!" Shandong had that Portland filter for a bit. There were wait staff supplementing graphic design or marketing gigs by dressing in silk and reenacting some of the more awkward scenes from Garden State. There was a floor show made of the dipping sauces and a spareness to the room and its decor. I don't think owner Henry Liu meant it this way, but it made it feel as if Shandong was ironically distancing itself from the Northern Chinese-inspired Chinese-American cuisine it was serving. That's gone now. Shandong survived the pandemic by switching to a takeout-heavy business and, in many ways, has kind of stuck in that mode. During that transition, the dining room itself became a lot cozier and more lived-in. It looks more like a neighborhood place, where the staff works on orders and prep out front and customers have free rein to make mistakes with their sauces. The future Julliard students are gone, replaced by an attentive and knowledgeable crew that still works with the familiar menu. Judy's Noodles are still there, as are the homemade Xiaolongbao, shrimp dumplings and pot stickers. The curry fried rice remains a can't-miss starch, and the spicy dry fried chicken remains one of Portland's best dishes. I've seen the knocks on Shandong as it exists and, honestly, they seem a bit myopic. No, this isn't Chin's Kitchen, but looking at that place's menu since its visit to "Flavortown" tells me the divide is no longer as wide as it once was. No, it isn't the food theater it once was, but should it be? If you look around Hollywood at Gado Gado, the Bulgogi, Chimcking, Happy Bimbimbap or even Chin's they aren't anything more than they have to be... and almost all of them followed Shandong's lead. After seeing post-pandemic Shandong, I can understand why those who loved its first incarnation might be disappointed. But Henry Liu has Kung Pow! for you across the river if you want a show and a place that looks good on Insta. If you want a comfortable spot that knows its customers, knows its menu and knows what it's about, the real Shandong has arrived.

Had a great dinner here last night. The best potstickers I have in Portland period! All of our dishes were fresh and flavorful. Our favorites were sautéed garlic, green beans and Mongolian beef. We will be back!

Your average American Chinese cuisine. Great for kids mom and dad would have loved more flavor. Great price though and great portions.

We ended up here simply by elimination. It was snowy and very cold. And three other places we had in mind to eat at were all closed due to the weather. Since we were picking up some groceries at Whole Foods. My friend suggested Shandong. The place was empty but we were relieved they were open. I got Ma Poa Tofu and three types of vegetables my friend got signapour noodles with shrimp and spicy eggplant. The food was above average and tasty Before I say any more I would come back here... It was that fine just not wonderful. As with most restaurants they give you lots of the cheapest ingredients and minimal of the more expensive ones. The Ma Poa tofu comes with button mushrooms but their were hardly any of them it was mostly all tofu. The vegetable trio is snow peas or pea pods shitake mushrooms and broccoli. But what you end up with is 90% broccoli. But I must say every thing tasted delicious. I only wish it were more spicy. My friend enjoyed the noodles with shrimp . The spicy eggplant was to heavy I mean too much sweet sauce and the eggplant were too fried to were they were no longer frim and too over cooked. But we tried to eat as much of that as we could. Service the waitress was friendly and attentive so no complaints at all. The ambiance is not really cozy but not really cold either. It suits fine to have a meal and they give you hot tea too. So if they could tweak a few things I mentioned above it would be a five star review

This place has gone downhill. The chicken and shiitake is now chicken and cremini mushrooms. Misrepresented. The shrimp dumplings are considerably smaller. Tiny, almost imperceptible shrimp.

I used to love this place, but when we went there Wednesday night we threw away almost all the food. We ordered broccoli beef and sweet and sour chicken -- I made my sweetheart drive all the way over here just for the sweet and sour chicken, it used to be my favorite. But all the food seemed old (wth?), as if it was cooked yesterday and maybe reheated in a microwave or an air fryer? The beef and also the chicken tasted nasty--the chicken was greyish in color, the beef had a strange texture like the corned beef my mom bought in bags at the grocery store back in the 70s. Tea and rice cost extra! My sweetheart felt sick for two days. As I said, we both took about four or five bites and that was all we could handle. A LOT OF MONEY FOR INEDIBLE FOOD. Disappointed doesn't cover it.

I think this place is solid for their homemade noodles, dumplings and potstickers. We ordered all 3 and the people in our party liked them but I think all of the other food was over sauced or starchy. I ordered eggplant, Brussel sprouts and green beans, thinking those would be a healthier option. The dry fried Brussel sprouts are probably my favorite thing and the rest all were dripping in thick sauces. We ordered "prawns" and Mongolian beef and I was not impressed with the food because I do not like eating a lot of sweet sauce on my food. The prawns definitely had some sweet sauce that wasn't good on them. The Mongolian beef was also saucy and the meat I think was coated with corn starch and thick sauce and not a lot of onions with it. I would definitely come back for the Brussel sprouts but all the rest were a hard pass for me and I won't be ordering any of it. That being said, I think many people love saucy Chinese food so take my opinion with a grain of salt. It just wasn't for me.

Couldn't wait to do take for Christmas as they said they'd be open and yet they arent! What a bummer as we'd planned this as our Christmas dinner for weeks.

Still delicious after all these years. The hand pulled noodles are (chef's kiss) and the spinach pot stickers were enormous pillows of savory yumminess.

Food - meh I had Kung pao chicken - it had a brown sauce kind of salty.peanuts , some onion chicken that's about it pretty flavorless I don't know what they might have that would be good. Maybe I'll try it again sometime and give it another chance.

It is so good!!! I love the Shandong Shrimp and their Brown Rice!!! Yum!!! And their Beef and Broccoli is also delicious!

Perfect lunch on a perfect Portland day. Came in at 1:15 pm on a Friday. Plenty of seats by the window. Lunch Specials and Combos

I'm a Dim Sum fan, I know dumplings. before ordering the Potstickers and soup dumplings I carefully looked at all the picture and read the description to be sure that the Potstickers were panfried NOT deep fried. Well they were definitely deep fried and I'm pretty sure they were either pre cooked before deep frying or leftovers that were deep fried to reheat. The texture and off flavor leads me to believe they were leftovers. which is totally unacceptable, and dangerous! The Soup dumplings just tasted old, the wrapper was in Ok shape but the filling tasted off. I read some not so great reviews but the reviews of the dumplings were good. I got a partial refund from the delivery app but I should not have to pay a nickel for food this bad!

The food is not quite as good as it was previously, which is pretty disappointing. But the biggest objection is their obvious focus on takeout. They can make you feel like you have to argue dining in. Seriously. Lots of comments, like, "to go?" Or "You sure you don't want it to go?" And more than once. I almost think you should avoid eating in their restaurant because it is neither their focus or preference. Which is a shame. I still have been giving them a chance along with direct feedback. So time will tell.

I feel like I don't know how to review Shandong -- they are a consistent backup plan for us, so we like them well enough. I know they are Northern Chinese and decidedly not spicy by design. But I do wish they had more flavor, and I super wish their potstickers were still as big as a fist and juicy (they used to be so good!) The pork belly friend rice is yummy, but we always end up adding the soy/chili oil combo to it; the green beans are usually tasty, and we like the Mongolian and Shandong beef dishes. We always get potstickers even though they break our hearts a little, and sometimes do other dumplings (XLB and shrimp dumplings are pretty decent). Go? Try some things? Make liberal use of the sauce packets?

Ordered pickup and waited for over an hour. Order never confirmed. Kitchen full of receipts taped to the wall, blowing in the wind. Like a scene from The Bear.

We were pleasantly surprised to see how busy this place was as I generally see that as a sign of good food! We placed an order online for Mongolian Beef, Kung Pao Tofu, Sweet and Sour Chicken and Potstickers. Our order was ready when we arrived, which was also a plus! It took less than 20 minutes total! I LOVED the Mongolian beef! It was exactly as I'd hoped! It was juicy and cooked to perfection! The sweet and sour was an everyday average sweet and sour chicken you'd get from any Asian/ Asian fusion restaurant, and my friend SCARFED down his kung pao tofu! The potstickers were strange. They were like a large starchy balloon with a ball of meat inside. I didn't take a bite beyond what I'd eaten of it (a corner of the breading). All in all, the specialty items ordered were EXCELLENT and you receive a fairly big serving. I would not recommend getting the "everyday" (sweet and sour/ potstickers) for the price you are paying. Our meals were 16.25 a plate. The only thing I'd say would be a borderline complaint was that the dishes DO NOT come with rice. That was a new one for me. Virtually every Asian restaurant serves rice automatically. Except this one. It was our first time there and that was not stated in the menu or upon arrival for our to go order. But apparently in small writing somewhere it does state you can add rice for $1 a plate?

I Like Coming To Shandong And There Food Is Amazing And I Like There Potstickers And You Get Six Of Them And They Are Big And They Are Homemade.I Like There Pork Belly Fried Rice And The Portions Are Huge And The Rice Is Very Flavorful And I Really Love There Cherry Pork Which Taste Amazing And It Comes With Rice.I Like All There Noodles Dishes And They Taste So Good And They Are All Homemade And I Like To Try All Of There Other Dishes And They Also Added More Food To There Menu I Like To Try.The People That Work At Shandong They All Do Amazing Job And Work Really Hard And The Food Is So Tasty And I See Why People Like Coming Here Because Of The Amazing Food And The People That Work Here And The Amazing Customer Service You Receive Here And I Would Recommend Shandong To Other People If They Want Amazing Chinese Food.

Food was ready for Xmas Eve for group of 8, but when we took all dishes out, no rice. They were busy, so they didn't answer when I called to come back for rice. Not sure I could've gotten my crowd to wait for me to go pick up more, anyway. Food smelled great, tasted pretty good, but without rice, meh. 3 containers ordered none provided.

Christmas Eve is a crazy time to order Chinese Food, but the staff at Shandong didn't do themselves any favors with the lack of any understandable process for picking up take-out orders. I placed mine at 121 AM to pick it up at 6 PM. When I arrived at 5:45, the lobby and takeout window was overrun with people trying to pick up their Christmas eve delights. I witnessed two people who had placed their 6 PM pickup orders after 5 PM and picked them up on arrival. The good news is, that the Christmas spirit prevailed and everyone was generally good-natured and worked to help out others by calling out order numbers to those waiting in line outside. The payoff was that the food was wonderful! From the dumplings to Mu Shu Pork, and the Shandong Shrimp, each dish was very fresh and seasoned well. I was especially happy to find that there were gluten-free sauce options for each of the entrees I ordered. I'm looking forward to trying Shandong out again...on a non-holiday :)

Been going here for years. Seems to be going through some management pains now. Upon arrival, there was literally 15 people standing around the entrance inside. Difficult to even open the door with so many people, and they were all standing around with cell phones up! So, it was obviously multiple delivery drivers waiting on orders. We stood there patiently for a table with about 3 tables being open, their sign says wait to be seated. The owner/manager, or at least the guy running around like nuts was only focused on the to go orders and yelling at each driver. After several minutes of watching this stressful display I was able to stop him for one second, and he said there were no tables available. So we just started to leave and then all of a sudden he stops us and says he has one. The whole experience was hyper and frenetic, and this continued over at our table. He threw the menus down on the table and said "Welcome to Shandong" while he turned away in a huff before we were even seated. The other wait staff were also distracted throughout the entire meal. The first plate came out pretty quickly, but the second plate was another 10 minutes behind it. Sooo, obviously the kitchen and the manager were very overwhelmed by the huge amount of take out orders. The in house service suffered greatly as a result. Other people were trying to flag staff down for drinks and their check. Food was alright, not really great like it used to be. Shandong needs to decide if they want to be a real restaurant or a glorified food cart with a roof. On top of the unpleasant service, a gratuity was automatically added for only 2 people on the bill. Soooo I won't be going back to Shandong.

Not sure if this is a fair review, but the day after we eat their, my wife and I who shared several dishes, both had what seemed to be a mild case of food poisoning. Can not say with absolute certainty it was food poisoning but the symptoms where spot on (GI distress, without going into the details).

Food was excellent. Had the best salt and pepper shrimp I ever had on the west coast. Pork belly with tofu is outstanding. And the soup dumplings - perfect.

The Cherry Pork was super dry and old. The Sweet and Sour Tofu had zero flavor. Not going to visit again.

Dirty, disgusting, walked in and immediately walked out. If you can't clean your bathroom, you can't clean your kitchen. Last time i ate here was years ago, the entire place looks abandoned now. A friend of mine said she saw one of the cooks picking their nose. I have cleanliness standards.

This Chinese restaurant makes delicious food those service are fascinating I really do I care about the food people love them and that prayer for them

My husband and I LOVE Shandong. We did takeout several times before Covid restrictions were lifted, but were really excited when the dining room opened again a few weeks ago. We also took a friend on our recent visit and she had never been before. Parking can be a bit tricky here, especially if the restaurant is busy. DON'T park in the lot next door as that does not belong to Shandong's and your car will get towed! I don't think the word is out yet that they're open for dining inside and since we were there a bit early, we were set. Like many Chinese restaurants, there are SO MANY OPTIONS!! We started off with appetizers; xiao long bao, dumplings and 2 orders of happy hour wontons. We did the pork kind AND the crab. These are some of my favorite wontons ever, mostly because they have meat. Many (especially cheap) places don't fill the wontons. Xiao Long Bao are pretty good and larger than others I've had. For entrees, we had grilled eggplant with chicken, beef and broccoli, pork belly fried rice and chicken and snow peas. Everything was so delicious! The beef and broccoli is my favorite anywhere; flavorful and tender. I feel happy and loved when I eat it. My husband always loves the grilled eggplant and can't ever get enough. The other dishes were also great, my friend especially raving about the crunchy snowpeas and the delicious pork belly. We weren't drinking this time around, but they also offer great cocktails.

Possibly the worst Chinese food I've ever had and that is saying a lot. The kung pao was tasteless, plus too salty. The pork fried rice's pork was fatty and uncooked. The pot stickers had too much ginger and were terrible. I had heard they were good so after the closure of Seres, my husband and I were trying to find a good Chinese restaurant. This is NOT it. I hope someone will give me a recommendation for a good Chinese restaurant a la Seres.

A friend and I ordered take-out of veggie dumplings crab wontons with cream cheese and fake crab, and chicken shiitake. Shandong has clearly not recovered from COVID. The crab-cream cheese wontons consisted of fried wontons with the tiniest sliver of white fish, with Skin and no cream cheese. They were not edible. The shiitake chicken arrived with slimy shiitakes, overcooked chicken and a sauce flavored heavily with soy and salt. The dumplings were so-so. The price for the meal was a stunning $42.50, because rice was an extra $3+n top of the $15+ charge for the slimy shiitakes. I won't be going back!

I have been soooo excited to eat here. The pictures of their food and the reviews of people I know that have eaten here have created a huge hype for my family. DISAPPOINTED!!! We started with the crispy wontons, pot stickers, shrimp dumplings and soup dumplings (go big or go home, right?). The crispy wontons were dry, the meat was thin and way over cooked. The pot stickers were huge and the breading was so thick the entire thing was nearly inedible. The shrimp dumplings were way overly fishy, as If they were old, the soup dumplings had apparently sat and the soup had congealed. The dough on the dumpling was again way too thick. Dinner came: we ordered the green beans, the Brussel sprouts, the black bean chicken, the pork belly fried rice and the spicy noodle soup with shrimp. The first bite of my food was a piece of (supposedly) crispy pork belly. It was nothing but fat. I tried again; nothing but dat. The fried rice was white and flavorless. The black bean chicken was okay, but lacked a lot of flavor. The meat was way over tenderized and the sauce salty. The soup was a massive disappointment. The noodles had good texture but the soup was nothing but chili flavored water. It had almost no flavor. The Brussel sprouts and green beans were probably the best part of the whole meal. They both had great flavor and weren't overly seasoned. Unfortunately the Brussel sprouts were over cooked. Overall I gave 3 stars because of the service and the green beans. Otherwise I was incredibly let down.

Ordered food at 5:30pm for 6:15 pickup. Showed up at 6:20, food isn't ready and there is literally one table with people sitting, restaurant is otherwise empty. While I wait for the food to be prepared, two other customers come in for pickups that are ready and waiting. That sucks.

Shandong is the best Chinese food I've had in Portland! They are very quick to get your food out and great service! I always leave there full and satisfied!
