This was right after, Newport opened back up, but before Newport got shut back down, by Covid-19. I have been to Newport easily over 100 times, since childhood & it is one of my most beloved places to visit, on the Oregon Coast. This was my first time, not going to a place known, for its Fish dinners. We had a major hankering, for Chinese food & just simply pulled over, when we saw a Chinese restaurant, that had opened up & was seating folks. So glad my intuition is usually spot on, because this place was super good. Their Mar Far Chicken batter, is Reddish in color. I have never seen that before & was eager for my first bite. The Mar Far Chicken was breast meat, which in my opinion, should always be. That reddish batter intrigued me. It tasted like it had a bit of cayenne & tomato paste, intoduced into the batter! I hate anything spicy, but this was not spicy at all, it just had a uniquely wonderful flavor, with a tiny spark, to it. Their Pork Fried Rice is my favorite tasting, out of the 50 places, I have ever ordered Pork Fried Rice at. That speaks literally VOLUMES, to me! My dining partner ordered Beef & Broccoli, which he said, was quite wonderful. Neither of us got any hint, of the msg yuckies, either. That tells me, no msg was used. All in all, we will be back for sure, once Newport has, opened back up!
Lack of knowledge of subtitles of Chinese cousine,mostly bulk starch and bland . Pork fried rice steamed and scooped up in a ice cream scooper,no pork to be found.. Waitress didn't know difference between lo mein and chow mein noodles..etc.etc.. Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

Great staff but the place was not pleasant. The food gave my partner and I an upset stomach for the rest of the night. Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 1
Great lunch specials, extended menu. Very dark and difficult to see unless you sit by window Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3
The only thing they did well was the pork fried rice - and that was because it was made fresh. Also, Mango Lemonade was pretty good. Otherwise, small portions, high prices, pressed chicken that had been obviously bought (not made), and warm sushi made the experience another data point in the rule of: don't trust chinese food bought at the ocean. Also, the hot and sour soup was the egg flower soup with hot and sour mix tossed in! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
Waitress was awesome. Food was great. Will eat here again. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+
We hadn't eaten here in several years. Their prices were high and the orange and lemon chicken we ordered was like eating shoe leather. We won't return! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

I absolutely love this place! After 16 years in Austin, TX getting spoiled by incredible restaurants, I was afraid I wouldn’t find a spot I loved as much in Newport after moving here but I was so wrong! The food here is incredible, the service is exceptional, and I always feel so welcome. Oh! And along with the food tasting amazing, it’s always so hot and fresh ❤️❤️❤️
