Editorial Review for Fong Chong Restaurant – by Katherine Cole
In Short
This Old Town mainstay's slightly shabby and décor includes brown and orange vinyl booths and bucket swivel chairs. The daily dim sum lunch here draws Pearl District professionals and weekend diners. While its competitors may throw just about anything into a wonton wrapper, each dish here is distinct and flavorful. Two of the best dishes are the barbecued pork cookies and the sticky rice steamed in a giant lotus leaf.

Going to Fong Chong for Dim Sum is going for the experience. The main experience, of course, is the food. Dim sum is unlike anything you've ever had, if you' never had it! I think the things to remember are, One: Keep an open mind, Two: Do not put your American expectations on the experience, and Three: Try all that you can. The way I see it, I'm not there for the service (which some think is bad). I'm not there to order things other than what the staff has prepared and is offering on the carts. I'm there for Dim Sum. It's easy. It's delicious. It's a great experience. And, I have never been to China, but Fong Chong has got to be as close as you can get without leaving Portland. :)
Pros: DIM SUM
Cons: If you are a 'service person', you may want to go where you can be 'waited on'.

So, I don't speak Chinese so I go to Fong Chong. I have been there at least 15 times in the last 4 years. Not a million, but enough to write a review. I don't know what some people expect of Dim Sum, but I just expect carts, people offering me food from the carts, and eating the food off the carts. I don't need waiters in tuxes with towels on thier arms, it's DIM SUM people! Fong Chong is inexpensive, has a huge "dining room", and yummy. The only time I have had a hard time getting a seat is around 11-12 on the weekend.
