We had a great experience at Lucky Cheetah. The staff were fantastic, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was really cool. It’s like a Chinese-themed speakeasy! It’s my new favorite restaurant/bar in Portland.

Consistently fantastic food and service! We love all the options Portland’s restaurants provide and visit many of them. Since we visited David’s twenty years ago, we’ve decided that is where we will go when family/friends visit because all ages and palates find something they want to eat (meatloaf, tuna sashimi, burger, sirloin, steak au poivre, garlic knots, brussle sprouts, and salads), and we can rely on the quality.
