About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
Dumpling enthusiasts and champagne lovers alike can indulge in in the elevated, yet unpretentious fine-dining experience offered in this sexy, and intimate underground hideaway. The menu honors Cantonese classics with dishes like Xiaolongbao and Char Siu Bao, while creative offerings such as Foie Gras Blackberry Dumplings with Brown Butter Miso Crumb showcase culinary innovation in this celebration of Chinese American fare. A deep champagne and wine list complements the menu, and at the 11-seat Pink Italian Stone bar, classic cocktails are shaken up with unique spice combinations and Asian-produced liquors, like a Manhattan riff “Doyer’s Street” made with Chinese five-spice infused Bourbon and Fernet Michaud from Portland, ME

Note: Table reservation durations: 1.5 hours for parties of two, 2 hours for parties of 4 or more. Walk-in seats are available at the bar.

    Our experience at Lucky Cheetah is always amazing. Victoria gave outstanding service, the music and atmosphere create the best vibe. The food is delicious, and Ana makes every table feel so special, warm and welcome. Thank you for the best night out with friends.

    The service, food, and decor are amazing at LC. It remains one of my favorite restaurants in New England. Every dish is inventive and delicious and all the servers are top notch.

    This was one of the best lunches we've had in a long time. We split two different dumpling dishes and the spicy salad (which was not spicy at all)--perfectly dressed and so very yummy. We also each had a different non-alcoholic drink, and they were delightful. We can't wait to go again!

    Fantastic experience here for Mothers day dinner! The service was excellent everyone helped us have an incredible meal. Even my father who is not a big asian foodie like me and my sister, he even loved the meal and asked for more to take home. Cannot recommend enough! Go here!

    Beautiful space, very tastefully decorated, very nice ambiance, friendly service, knowledgeable staff. The food is excellent, and I appreciate the smaller menu options and variety in NA and alcoholic beverages. Truly enjoyed our brunch here. We will definably be back.

    Another wonderful Portland Maine restaurant. A "modern" Chinese restaurant with wonderful small dishes, great cocktails, and a fascinating "look." Definitely a must go.

    Very friendly and welcoming place with funky, cheetah-themed ambience. We shared 4 small and 1 large plate between 3 people, and found every dish very tasty. We will come again!
