Sungari's Dragonwell Asian Bistro

Average/ Ordinary

Americanized Chinese food. Waiter talked us out of ordering what we wanted, and what we got was nothing special. In fact, one dish what waiter raved about that we did order, came out w/ totally different ingredients than we were told. I grew up on San Franciscan Chinese food and can't seem to find anything quite as tasty. Won't be back here.

Good PDX Chinese

It's all relative: for Portland, this is above average Chinese. On its own merit, it overpriced average fare. They can't pull off the high priced authentic mix. Go to one of those Chinese fast food outlets in your neighborhood grocery store and save some serious bucks. Great decor though, and the hostess was very friendly.

• Pros: hostess
• Cons: price, server

Best in town

Portland seriously lacks good Chinese food, so Sungari really stands out. The food is very fresh and flavorful. The eggplant dish is like candy (try it, even if you don't think you like eggplant). Honey-walnut shrimp is outstanding, crispy scallops melt in your mouth, and many dishes are truly spicy, like Szechwan cooking should be. Beautiful interior, too. It's more expensive than most Chinese restaurants, but well worth it.
