Fresh, Local, Organic Chinese Cuisine in the Pearl District

About Seres Restaurant

  • Certified Organic Ingredients
  • Generous Happy Hour Portions
  • Green Business Practices

For eight years, Sungari Pearl has been owned and operated by Sunny Shin. Sungari Pearl opened in the Pearl District with a distinctively Szechuan menu. As our staff grew over the years, each brought different flavors and experiences with them. Today our menu reflects the palates of the multi-regions of China as well as the Pacific Northwest. Still under the same ownership, Seres Restaurant celebrates the changes it has taken to become a better business within our Portland community. Over the last few years and with the help of Sungari "family" and friends, we have transformed into a more sustainable business. We hope to share some of these positive changes with you. \n\nWe use local, organic ingredients such as Ota Tofu from SE Portland, certified organic produce, natural NW beef, pork, and chicken. All our seafood is wild caught and we never add MSG to any of our dishes.  View Less View More

Just doesn't cut it anymore. We've been fans of Seres since it was Sungari. Lately, however, the service and the food have been quite poor. Last night, for example, there was no hostess to seat anyone (we've noticed that they do not use a hostess anymore), we waited for 15 minutes before someone showed up even to take a drink order, there was never a consistent wait person, and the lemon chicken was the toughest chicken we've ever had. In fact, we noticed that the couple next to us didn't (or couldn't) eat it either. Generally, too, the happy hour portions are much smaller than they ever were before. For these prices, we'll look elsewhere for chinese food.  View Less View More

Comparing Seres to PF Chang is like comparing pinot noir to. Comparing Seres to PF Chang is like comparing pinot noir to grape soda. Seriously, there is no comparison. I have eaten at Seres many times over the year (before and after the name change), and I've eaten at PF Chang's too. PF Chang's? A bland, predictable excuse for Chinese food designed to appeal to suburbanites. Seres? The real thing. The food is amazing-- easily the best in Portland (with Hunan Pearl in L.O. coming in a distant second).  View Less View More

The best Chinese food in Portland. I like Chinese food, but I was never picky about where I got it or what kind of quality it was until I came to Sungari Pearl ( now Seres). You can tell that the ingredients are fresh. I love the Dry Sauteed String Beans and I won't order General Tso's anywhere else.  View Less View More

Fresh Food. The enviroment was clean and relaxing. The service was not real fast, but we didn't mind since we were out for a dining experience. The food was DELICIOUS and our drinks with dinner were fabulous. DO NOT EAT HERE if you are looking for your typical chinese restaurant chain food....it is not even comparable in freshness or quality.  View Less View More
