Thien Hong's. Sandy Blvd. Order the pepper salted squid. You're welcome. You will never order calamari ever again once you've had the best squid there is. Every time I go to a restaurant and I see calamari on the menu or see people ordering it, I just shake my head and think to myself, "if they only knew what they were missing." At this place, I don't think I've ever seen people doing that DON'T have a plate of this incredible dish on their table. Also, you will see that many customers are Asian and that always speaks volumes.

The family that owns this place is a marriage of Chinese and Viet Namese cuisines and heritage and they have a very expansive menu. The honey walnut shrimp is also almost as mouth-watering as my wife , so try that, too. (The shrimp!). General Tso's chicken and all the staples are fantastic, too.

I can't do Panda Excress (read: expressed excrement) anymore. It's especially gone downhill since it's inception.

It's like if you only ever had Cool Whip your whole life and then one night for dessert your woman treats you to the real deal, the purest and sweetest cream. Serve it up, baby, serve it up!

My parents and I used to go to a place called Happy Garden over by 122nd and Division in SE Portland. That closed a long time ago. I honestly haven’t eaten a whole lot of Chinese food since. Rarely at the same place more than once. Chinese food doesn’t settle well with my wife, so I really haven’t had it since we’ve been together.
 
I used to love Chinese Village on the corner of SE Stark and 82nd. The place had been there for decades.

Mars was a close 2nd, they had locations on SE Hawthorne and next to the horse track.

My brain does not know how to compute what I just read.

I used to go to a place in Portland's Chinatown called the House of Louie, I think they might still be there but they are not under the same management and their food quality is not the same. But years ago it was great.

You know what would be really fun? If I could take some of the guys here, yourself included, to Thien Hong's and we can have a delicious meal and talk Blazers. As a way to kick off the start of the season perhaps.
 
Whoever said the Salt and Pepper squid at Thien Hong at 6749 NE Sandy Blvd is good is a truth teller.

There is no better Calamari anywhere. It has msg (make sh!t good) so pair it with some snowpea tips.

Pro tip: ask for a side of white vinegar and dip the calamari.

They perfected Calamari.

The rest of the menu is just like any other chinese resto but their salt n pepper squid is the GOAT.

Warning: It's addicting

I sound like a marketer but no, I don't want people missing out, just sharing good finds.
 
I can eat Panda Chow Mien and Teriyaki Chicken pretty much every game. I'm good with that.

Isn't that Vietnamese food? Rather than Chinese?

But don't call it calamari! It's a disservice to their squid. Every place place has calamari, this is something on a whole other level and I just call it pepper salted squid. It is squid! Not generic calamari served at any place.

They offer both, mostly all of their dishes are Chinese style dishes. They do have some things that have a Vietnamese style to them.
