Dim sum 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 14-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 Burbon and Fernet Michaud from Portland, ME

Note: Table reservation durations: 1,5 hours for parties of two, 2hours for parties of 4 or more. Walk-in seats are available at the bar.

    Our waiter was fantastic- we asked him for recommendations- they were exceptional! Our favorites were the tiny corn app, the lobster and crab dumpling and the pork fried rice. They sound simple but very gourmet! Cocktails were also wonderful!

    Even though I messed up on the reservation time and our party therefore arrived late, the hosts were very gracious, welcoming and accommodating. We were seated right away at a great table (I think any table in there would be great, truly). Our server Stefan was terrific, attentive and helpful. The drinks and food were excellent, with very interesting flavors and flavor combinations. Though it is a bit pricey, the experience is worth it and I highly recommend it.

    Loved the speakeasy lounge vibe. Decor was great. Service was good. The music was too loud and the music selection did not seem to fit the restaurant theme. Food was hit or miss; some was good and some not so much. More Asian fusion than dim sum. Glad to have tried the newest cool place in town but not certain I would go back given so many other choices in Portland.
