Great service, the staff is really warm and the atmosphere is fantastic. Great view of the Willamette and Mt. Hood. Food was ok, but it was quite affordable. My tab was half of what I estimated.

Loved the ambience—beautiful setting with a great view of the Willamette River and bridge from the seating area. You can even take a nice walk along the riverfront nearby. The interior is well-designed, and the washrooms are some of the best I’ve seen in any restaurant. Staff and servers were excellent—friendly, attentive, and happy to help. The menu is clean, simple, and easy to understand. Food was tasty, though the portion sizes were on the smaller side. That said, prices are very reasonable. Overall, a great experience—highly recommend!

The dining experience was exceptionally positive. The staff demonstrated attentive service, although the table became somewhat crowded with the abundance of dishes, potentially due to our over ordering. (really wanted to try the whole menu including dessert!) The noodle plate and soup dumplings were particularly memorable. While we were unable to secure the reserved window-side seating with the view of the riverside due to our late arrival, the restaurant's ambiance was captivating regardless of the seating location. The dishes were well-prepared, flavorful, and enhanced by a touch of soy sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and confidently recommend this spot to those seeking authentic and flavorful Chinese cuisine.

This has been our local go to for the past 3 years since living here on and off from our second home. And we have always been happy with the consistency of the food. As of recent the restaurant does not feel the same in the quality of food and take out service. As I, more times than not, get my food to go. No more condiment station at the register and our food was poorly prepared compared to times pass. The cucumber was not thoroughly cut through making it difficult to eat. That’s the only issue I have. I am still a fan of this location for it’s beautiful view by the river, food still hits the craving and above all, I had the pleasure of speaking with a man by the name of Joe who happens to be from my neck of the woods. He made my recent visit feel like a family reunion and all I can say is his honesty and candor will keep us coming back. We need more people like him in the service industry. It adds a special ingredient you can find in the most expensive dining experience. Whatever he’s being paid can’t be enough. Thank you for always being a reliable source for local dining a rocks through from our home.

We’ve visited other Dough Zone locations, but this one stood out as a bit more upscale. It offered stunning views of Portland, and the food and service were excellent. I highly recommend it.
