Shanghai Noble House Rstrnt

shanghi Noble House is the best. We have gone to Shanghi Noble house for years and have never been disappointed. The service is right on every time and the food is just as wonderful. I think we have ordered everything on the menu at one time or another and it is always cooked just right, tasty, and a dish we would gladly order again and again. For a group we often reserve the round table which seats 8-10 easily and find it's corner location is just right.

If you have not eaten here, give it a try, you will not be disappointed.  View Less … View More

Very Good Chinese, but I don't think Tso.. So- I've been on my quest to find a decent General Tso in Portland. I'm about twenty Chinese joints in and I've noticed that most places here are using a distributed sauce rather than making their own. But I'd heard several good things about about this place, and looked it up here to find several praising reviews of their americanized cuisine, especially of their General.

Here is the thing- If you are from the east coast and you're looking for a comparable dish out here- forget Noble House. In fact just forget it!

I'm not going to dis the place overall, because it's obvious that they at least made this sauce fresh with my meal, and the rest of the experience was quite lovely. I have to say though, it tasted like a British person cooked my main course. The sauce was more like Worcestershire than anything else- not even appetizing in it's context, really. I pity the foul. What a wasted shell of a life it turned out to have had. Not fit for anything but consumption, the modern american chicken is. And then someone dumps... what was that exactly? all over it.

And don't give me anything about authentic, please. Food is supposed to taste like food if you pay for it.

I rated 4 stars because every thing else I had there was really fantastic, and I'm figuring that this item was the anomaly. The prices were more than reasonable- great atmosphere- very clean- respectable for almost any evening except a very romantic date- and the service was exemplary. Definitely four stars for Chinese in Portland.

But no General I'm afraid.  View Less … View More

The best customer service!. Went to Shanghai Noble house tonight, I have been there several times in the past and always had a good experience, but I felt like tonight they went above and beyond!

I called them earlier in the day to ask if they offer steamed pork buns because I love them and haven't been able to find a restaurant nearby that serves them. They told me they didn't usually offer them but asked what time we would be coming for dinner and said they would make us some anyway.

As soon as we got there we had menus, water, and a teapot of hot tea in front of us. Besides the pork buns (which were very yummy!) we ordered the paper wrapped chicken, and hot and sour soup as appetizers and the moo shu chicken & sizzling bean curd for our entrees. Everything was delicious. Our water was refilled often as well, which I really appreciate. 5 stars!  View Less … View More

Great Americanized Chinese Food. First off quit complaining about "real" chinese food. unless your food has intestines, feet, or ears in it you are probably not eatting authentic Chinese food. What we call here in America Chinese food really doesn't exisit in China. If you want authentic go to Lucky Strike and eat some intestines- they're delicious. But if you are looking for deep fried hunks of meat covered in sweet strange sauces then Shanghai Noble House is a great place to go. Their food is not heavy and there is a lot of flavor. Even their Pork fried rice is better than anywhere I have eatten before. They use real chunks of tasty BBQ Pork. Usually the meat in fried rice is tasteless and unrecongizable. Years ago I had the honey praws here and in the 8 years since I have not had any place come even close to being as good as theirs. I haven't tried it here since then but I will in the near future. The staff is super friendly too. I'm not a huge fan of "Chinese" food, but if I ever get the craving this is the place I will go and where I will tell other to go too  View Less … View More
