Awesome. I want the original bar back, not just the sign. I loved that place. Nothing was better than stumbling up that dark stairwell trying to avoid homeless heroin users and human feces. Really. I liked that. Great bar. Stiff as hell drinks. Cheap. Downtown (kinda).
 
It just moved. It is out on 82nd. Not the same anymore.
 
Yeah, has to be in chinatown...near the downtown bars and old school chinese stuff!
 
Its sad that most of the good Chinese restaurants are no longer in Chinatown. My family used to own Tuck Lung's (same block as Hung Far Low's) back in the day, but that close in 92. Other than that and Hung's, Fong Chong's has gone down hill, Seven Seas used to be good, not sure anymore...there's probably only one or two spots worthwhile anymore.
 
Golden Horse is where the real Chinese people go to in Chinatown.
82nd is the Eastside Chinatown.. and the Wong's King is the one to go to out there, on 82nd and Division.

I'll pass. I haven't gone there that much, or at all in the past 5+ years, but I've never been impressed.

I haven't been since I was in high school, it was always are go-to spot on Sundays....used to be Fong chong but they went downhill.

now we usually go to Jin Wah out in beaverton. or Thien Hong (vietnamese and chinese) out on the eastside.

I think I've been to a few "1 month" parties there...I think. Wong's King is great, especially for dim sum (worth the wait), but its still sad that the old Chinatown is slowly dying.
 
it happens....Vancouver's chinatown isn't what it used to be...everything moved out to Richmond....and in LA, the chinatown is still ok but the real action is in the San Gabriel Valley....
 
The best chinese (or is it vietnamese?) restaurant I've been to in Portland was a crawdad place on 82nd! Strangest shit ever. A authentic southern crawdad restaurant by day, Vietnamese underground dance party by night. Owned and operated by Vietnamese......or Chinese. I truly don't know.

I'd REALLY like to know where I can go in Portland to get some GOOD Chinese food.
 
It's all about the Thai food in Ptown nowadays. Chaba Thai on 58th and Sandy is tops.
 
I thought maybe this thread was about a Chinese campaign slogan...
 
I don't eat thai as I don't care for rat or dog. My favorite chinese restaurant is Sungari's.
 
You know I see a lot of you talking about where to go for Chinese food. This thread has nothing to do with that, although it is intersting because good chinese food is hard to find in Portland. This thread is about dark drinking establishments.

I can tell you if you went to Hung Far Lo for the food, you would regret it.
 
ZIEN HONG on 53rd and Sandy is one of the best, if not the best, Chinese food joints in town.
 
Nope. Thien Hong is 1000 times better than the brother's. Thien Hong's food is like crack. The pepper salted squid is to kill for.

Their food is amazing. The creamy white sauce with almonds is the bomb (insert perverted joke here). I usually get it with chicken even though they have it with shrimp on the menu.

Try Chinese Village on 82nd. Food is pretty good. Really great bar....if you want cheap stiff drinks and a sleazy asian atmosphere. Its the eastside version of the old Hung Far Low.
