MeFi Lunch - PDX/Chinatown style

Wed March 28 at 11:45 AM, Chen's Good Taste
18 NW 4th Ave, Portland, OR, USA (Map & Directions)
Next lunch will be at Chen's Good Taste (no website of their own, sorry), located on NW 4th near the Chinatown gate. We meet once a week for lunch somewhere downtown. It's good opportunity to try places you might not have been or go to an old favorite!
I wasn't able to find the menu so maybe I'll scan it at work and put it up.

My co-workers say the wonton soup is really good and I've had the BBQ pork which is also delicious. The internet reviews might be sort of harsh but I think it's because people who work in the Pearl shouldn't descend below Broadway unless they want to slum it up with us Old Townies.

I can't say how veg friendly this place is but if you're bothered by roasted ducks hanging in the window and such this is not the place for you. That place is next door, at Vegetarian House.

You might want to change the date. We were thinking Wednesday the 28th, right?

Oh, and this is apparently the menu. I do not guarantee its accuracy.

Don't judge people who work in the Pearl! Judge people who live in the Pearl.

I once did a book report on The Pearl. I think the teacher judged it a B+.

So when asking for a table, should we assume 4 people? 6 people?
posted by Secretariat at 11:19 AM on March 28, 2012


Indeed, that is the question.

Turns out we were 4! And Chen's Good Taste was delicious and had fast service. I will totally go there again. So my review is to ignore the somewhat sketchy location and go for it!

That should be their tagline.
