This is the saltiest Chinese food I've ever had. I feel like they use the laziest recipe possible for the dishes, because that's how it looks and tastes. No bueno.

Most likely when you come here, it's for dim sum. If you never have dim sum before, I think this is the place to go in Portland. Not in Chinatown. If you don't know what dim sum is, just go to youtube. This place gets very crowded during weekend. Better come here early, like 10:30 am, if you want to get a seat right away. One thing about dim sum is that the look sometimes deceiving. Some of them might look/sound disgusting, but they're all actually taste quite good.

So much fun! It was my first dim sum experience and I want to go back sometime with a bunch of friends or family. It's great for groups and I really like the style of dining. All those steam carts rolling around full of an endless bounty of tasty treats. I would say its more about the experience than anything else. The food, although good, isn't anything for me to get too worked up about. Still, I plan on returning.

A friend who knows a lot about dim sum took me here and I have been in love ever since. I like to go with someone who knows the dishes, as I am a novice, and the language barrier can make asking questions somewhat difficult. I plan on ordering something off the menu next time; the house special fried noodles look amazing.

Food poisoning is a big problem here! If you look up this establishment on the Multinomah County Health Dept. inspection website you'll see multiple violations with unsanitary conditions being at the top of the list. Friends of mine recently experienced a case of food poisoning (the whole family got sick).This is too bad as it is a very nice establishment, and like the other reviewers have mentioned, the food does taste pretty good. I draw the line with dysentery, personally. I've been luck most times, but there have been few times where I felt a little off the next day.It does give new meaning to the tired old catchphrase "tastes great; less filling". Yeck!

Awesome Dim Sum. I'd say probably the best in Portland. The atmosphere is casual and the food is served in one big dining room, which can be noisy. We arrived early and were lucky to get a table quickly, but when we left in the late morning, all tables were full and there were quite a few people waiting. I'd say get there early. The service was incredibly fast and efficient with many different carts of Dim Sum options circulating around. If you don't know Dim Sum, it was hard to communicate with some of the servers to ask what the items were. I'd say don't worry about it and just try anything that looks good and enjoy. We weren't disappointed by anything. For a group of 5 our bill was around $65, which was very reasonable. We will definitely go again. I'd suggest that you go hungry and don't plan to eat for the rest of the day!

Wong's King seldom disappoints. They have, hands down, the best quality (and dependable) dim sum in Portland (quite comparable to Hong Kong in terms of quality though lesser variety).The wait is long for dim sum on weekends, so l tend to get there by 9:30 am when they open. Otherwise, during the Fall or Winter, you may find yourself shivering in the waiting area for at least an hour or so. You do get more variety of dim sum after 10:30 am though.The steamed BBQ pork buns are soft, with delicious filling. I also especially like their daikon (white carrot aka turnip) cake.If you visit, make sure to check out the BBQ place next door. I'm a fan of their BBQ pork, deep fried pork, steamed chicken, squid..ok..pretty much everything that they sell.KPI (Key Performance Indicator) ratings (1-5, 5 - best):Quality: 5Delivery/Service: 4Cost: 4

This place used to be good, USED TO, not anymore. The hostess is rude. I have been here several times for Dim Sum and she is never very friendly. I went there today on Christmas thinking that there would be special dishes because of the holiday and all we got was cold food and rude service. The attitude here is that they think they are so superior, the best in town, Maybe that was true 8 years ago but not anymore. I will take my business somewhere else. I hear that Jin Wah in Beaverton is pretty good. Goodbye Wong's King, take your cold Dim Sum and shove it.

By far some of the best dim sum I've ever had... I've had dim sum up and down the West Coast and this place always does it for me. Yes, you need to get there before it opens to get in there in a reasonalble measurement of time, but it really is worth any length of waiting time in my opinion.The cool thing... it ranks pretty high on some world ranking system for Chinese restaurants in the world... now that's some bragging rights there!

So bad, that I had to get out of lurk mode on yelp and actually write a review.Decided to get some noms before doing some late Black Friday shopping. I've been here before a few years ago, and it was pretty dece, so we decided to hit it up again. The wait around 12 was pretty quick for two people, just about 5-10 minutes.We got sat down at a table that was on the edge of the dining room, inches away from people waiting for a table... A little uncomfortable. I got elbowed a few times. One case, some guy was waiting for to-go in front of our table, I should of asked him to sit down since he was so close and liked coughing in our direction. I think I could of felt him breathing since he was so close. But! We were in front of the kitchen door. Sweet! Since we're in front of the door, we'll be first in line for the fresh dim sum carts pulling out. Right??? WRONG. as they came out, they avoided our tables and by the time they looped back to our table all their plates were gone.When we did get our food, it was hot. I'll give them that, but I don't remember the dim sum being so bland. No seasoning. Salt and pepper was the opposite, and it was absolutely too salty.But the wait. The wait for carts was baaaaaad. And the dining room was 70% full with only 2-3 carts working the floor. We waited for 30 minutes for a cart, none came by. One point, I actually STOOD up and waived my arms like I worked at a landing strip at an airport. Finally one of the girls from front of the house saw how crazy I looked, and asked what we wanted. all I wanted were shrimp dumplings. PLEASE. help a sister out. she went back and checked, but it was sold out (what, really?) so we would have to wait an additional 20 minutes. Um, no more waiting, I wanna shop til I drop, thanks.But the girl from front of the house was apologetic, and quickly got our checks so I'll give them the extra star for her.Overall, worst service I had the craptastic pleasure to deal with. Food isn't worth the service. I don't know if I'd come back. I'd go somewhere else.

I go here for Dim sum and when they piss me off I go to Ocean city and vice versa. You have to get there at the magic time right when they open or after 1 otherwise enjoy the line and the rude people who chain smoke right in front of the automatic doors. Also be careful this is one of the most dangerous parking lots beside Fubon Market down the street.The Charsu bao are the best aka BBQ pork steam bun btu they seem to have trouble rotating them as often as I need I find myself stocking this ladies cart. The shumai are also very good and the fried calamarie ordered from the kitchen. Some of the cart woman are straight up rude ignore them and smile. All the stuff is pretty decent but Ive got to tell you why this plays irks me. THE BATHROOMS are filthy beyond filthy shit smeared dirty floors nasty there has got to be a better way I guess Im back to being treated like crap over at Ocean City.

Time to clean the floors and chairs Wong's King....you are looking terribly dirty these days ;0(Service isn't as friendly as it used to be, not a regular place we go any more.

Super tasty and fresh. The duck was perfectly crisp and I think the crab puffs are made in house. The prices were reasonable for the excellent quality of food. We went for an early dinner on a Monday @ 4:45pm and by the time we were leaving @6:30 the place was starting to get packed. I will be going to try dim sum; I hear it is a very long wait so I will do it on a day I don't have my toddler.

We got there early on a Saturday morning and the place was relatively empty. However, it got much busier as the morning progressed. Very happy with my dim sum experience. As a vegetarian, I usually expect to eat little else besides the sesame balls and egg custard, but the staff was incredibly accommodating in creating me vegetarian dishes.

O M G. The food here is awesome - some of the best authentic Chinese I've had in Portland (and I've lived here over 20 years). The Dim Sum is also good (although it's so popular that the lines are out the door) but I really like the dinner option. The ambiance is a little bit "different" - I was reminded of the dinner experience on a cruise I took several years ago with the high ceilings, lots of lighting, white noise music and people surrounding us in uniform -but it's not terrible and I go there for the food, anyway.The service is solid, too, with lots of wait staff and a system in place that makes sure your orders are accurate and delivered in a timely manner and your water glass and utensils are always at your fingertips. One of my favorites!

I've tried Dim Sum at other places/ even other countries.. but was never satisfied because it felt like the ingredients they use weren't always fresh. Seafood dimsum was always too fishy, pork/beef always had some sort of odor..but after trying Wong's King.. I'm a fan.Pretty much Every. Single. One. we tried was tasty.A++ =)

Service is much better now than before. It's no longer over crowded or a very long wait for dim sum. Our group arrived at 10:30 maybe that's before the usual peak time?Best place in Portland for dim sum. I love their buns they must have changed chefs because they quality is much better than before.

Okay, I'm adding another star for this place for the DINNER menu. Service is so much better than during dimsum hours, and the food is actually pretty good. On the pricier side, but very tasty.Better yet, they never run out of glasses/tea cups during dinner

I really am a huge fan of Wong's King. I used to come here regularly with a group of girlfriends in college, on Sundays, hungover - this was it!Oh my love, would you like some shrimp wrapped in slippery glass noodles? How about some pork bao? Or sesame balls? Chinese broccoli? Shrimp dumplings? Sticky rice with surprises inside?Yes, please, one of everything!Now I'm older and I've recently rekindled my love for Wong's King by starting a monthly Dim Sum Club with my friends. Everyone shows up and at some point everything is ordered - even chicken feet, jelly fish salad, broth with unknown-unknowns inside.I love ordering a giant table for all 11 of us or however many show up, and then during the wait, heading over to bubble tea next door. And a trip to Wong's King is always best followed up by a trip to Fubonn. Everyone is always inspired to try recreating the delicacies we had at Wong's at home after our feast.A trip to Wong's is definitely a mark of a weekend well spent.

I caution everyone to watch that bill. The checks are written in characters. I don't know if it is chinese or vietnamese or whatever else but they placed 2 items that we did not order on the check. Both costing at 8 dollars.Staff and management should learn to speak and write in english. Long wait times. Over rated food. Expensive.

they speak truth. I'm just throwing in another five stars as further jubilation for the chorus. Get a big party together and go for the dim sum- the more people, the more different things you can try before you're absolutely stuffed ...?

feel of this place, as you might, perhaps, expect. The space is huge, sort of like a hotel banquet hall, and packed. I must admit the dim sum was pretty amazing, greasy-but not too greasy-goodness. Great to wake up the tastebuds on a rainy PDX day. Staff needs to keep an eye on its fish ...?

Wong's King has an selection of food and are known for their seafood dishes. This restaurant is usually very crowded with large groups of people, particular large parties of family and friends. The food is delicious, and the price is decent for the large portions that you get. In the late morning through early afternoon, you will have to wait in line to eat dimsum, a Chinese type of brunch where carts wheel around food and you can choose what you like to eat, dumplings, meatballs, veggies, and desserts to name a few. A great choice for a meal if you cant' decide what you want to eat, or want to have a taste of a little bit of everything. Wong's King is also a place where many people have their wedding receptions and other parties, since the restaurant can hold large parties and events. Definitely highly recommended!?

Good service, good food, they were happy to see us and if you ask nice you'll get a fork! I will try the "Dim Sum" soon.?
