We read the reviews before we went out because we wanted some good Chinese food. This place has some great reviews from people, dont believe them. I hate to be down on anyone but ...

Very tasteful 10/23/2006

I have dined here since the restaurant opened 6 1/2 years ago and there some must haves you must try! The Egg Foo Young is terrific (ignore last post) especially if you have it with chicken, the Hot and Sour is great and the overall favorite for me is the Happy Family! Try those three and you will not be disappointed! Pros: Great food, friendly service Cons: Parking can be tricky more

The worst Chinese food we've ever had! 8/26/2006

Even the steamed white rice was bad -- hard and dry! The egg foo young was a hard bread patty with funky yellow sauce, the mu shu pork was gross and the pancakes were stale and hard. The sweet & sour combo was chewy-gooey. The General's chicken was way too sweet. Actually, everything was too sweet ... very odd indeed. We had the order delivered and it was 1.5 hours until it arrived and then they forgot our sauteed green beans. A complete waste of $41 bucks!! more

Best we've found 5/13/2005

My wife and I tried 5-6 Chinese restaurants in the WL/LO area before finding Essence of China, and deciding it would be ""our"" Chinese restauarant. Quality, flavorful food, and friendly service. Basic, but clean and comfortable dining area. Highly recommended. more

The Best Chinese in the Portland Area 9/26/2004

We have experienced several different Chinese restaurants in Portland and have to say that this is the best! Service is prompt. Food arrives fast, and it is very fresh! You can't go wrong with any dish. We have moved farther away from West Linn and still make the distance to enjoy their amazing food! more
