Hi Hat Restaurant

Very Disappointing

by ConnoisserOfTigardCuisine at Citysearch

We decided to endulge in a little...ok a lot...of chinese food one Saturday hung over evening and came away very disheartened. The food taste like the first juice on a new born calf. I would strongly urge you to stay away from the brocoli and beef. This eater is not real up to date on health code, but the contents in our to go order seemed to be five days old.

All in all, this is not a place we will return. I would stay away.

Could be a lot better.

I have been here many times, since the 1960's. It's not a classical Chinese restaurant, but it's OK. Never order the fried shrimp. I don't know how they can get so much old grease into such a small shrimp, and cook it to death. I feel they were yesterdays cooked shrimp, re-warmed up in two week old oil, and I dare you to find the actual shrimp, in all that greasy cornstarch. The shrimp here has always been this way. Other items on their menu are from good to very good, such as Chow Mein, and Chow Don. My wife is Chinese, and she will never set foot in this place, but I like it. I don't like the food you get in China. It's disgusting, what the food is like in China. Some people can take it, but I can't. I'm glad for places like the Hi Hat.

• Pros: Lots of parking. I have never been here when the restaurant was full, or too busy.
• Cons: Exiting to the street is very very dangerous.

Not so good

by beserious at Citysearch

The service was slow and the food wasn't that great. I've been here a few times (take-out and eating at the restaurant) and the quality was very inconsistent.

• Cons: Parking, smoking bar, food quality, service
