The food and service were amazong. First time we come to this place and it wont be the last. The food was great, the soup that came with lunch was delicious. I loved the hot tea, one of my favorites. The waitress was fast and polite and great service. Floors sound sticky but other than that, everything was amazing. Definitely will be returning.

Food Safety Hazard!
Ordered a chicken chop suey and chicken egg foo young.
The chicken was spoiled/rotten and smelled rancid. Didn’t notice until taking a bite since it was covered in sauce. Had to spit out because of how sour it was! Tried to salvage the dish by picking out the chicken but realized it was in vain since there were flakes of it already mixed all over. Same problem with the egg foo young. Felt nauseous afterwards and lost my appetite.
I experienced a similar situation before when ordering a scallion beef dish, the texture was slimy and overly velveted, but thought it was a one-off.
I really wish this restaurant the best because I want to love it, there’s not many places like this anymore that serves these classic dishes, but unfortunately the food quality control and safety issues really need to be addressed.

It’s definitely a dive, but thia is the place for late night American-style Chinese. My man and I were super hungry and kinda forgot to eat dinner. There was nowhere else really open nearby that wasn’t a bar, so we went here. He got ginger mushroom beef and I got a combo plate with fried shrimp , pork lo mein and egg foo young. Pretty damn tasty. Egg foo young and shrimp were *chef’s kiss*. The lo mein didn’t have much taste honestly, but it was much better cold the next morning. Would go again!

Republic Cafe / Ming Lounge has History, and it shows whether through the layout or the decor. The cafe seating is nice whether booth or the tables, and the main bar has a nice dive-adjacent feel to it.
I come regularly for a circus night on Tuesdays, and it’s been really nice being part of a community and getting to know folks. The music is good, the crafting is, just a good vibe in back.
The food is SOLID, and the drinks are well made too
I’m grateful this space is open

Authentic American Chinese food!
Reviewed by an American born Chinese.
Food: It incorporates traditional Chinese flavors with an American twist.
(Importing Chinese produce and ingredients back in the 20th century was difficult so immigrants adopted what they could find in America)
Service: Chinese style
Atmosphere: Dim lit retro cafe theme.
Restaurant/lounge was kinda warm and not much air circulation.
Price: American Chinese food at affordable prices $10-$15 range.
Open late with many dish options
Ordered the “special combo” that has sesame chicken, pork fried rice and chow mein.

I walked in and walked out. This place needs to be shut down. There was dirt covering the walls and everything else. The people working ignored me even though she looked at me many times. Also there was a lot of loud and rude customers yelling inside and out front. I would not dare try it.

They never open on time! We have been down here since 4:45pm to eat Chinese food, when they open at 5pm. It’s now 6:16 pm , we are in front of the restaurant and they are just opening up! That’s sad! It makes me not want to come down here anymore!

You can walk past this place all day long and not know it’s there. But i promise it is. I feel it might be one of the only origanal remaining Chinese restaurants in China town. Its a bit dark but they have a great lunch menu and the food taste great!
The lunch menu is cheap and you get a pretty hefty portion for the pice. Being around $6-8. I really do recommend eating here and keeping it alive in China town.

Great hospitality and service. They are keeping a Portland treasure alive! Go say hello, grab a drink, and soak in the history.

The food was delicious and was very filling. When me and my family got there we got waters and menus right away but after we ordered the food it probably took up to an hour to get to us!!. There was only one other group there and they were loud ubnoctios and rude to the waiter. I would come here again if you want really really good food though.
