" I visited about a month ago and was left impressed. As someone who has traveled throughout China, the food here reminds me of home! The authenticity of the dishes cannot be overstated. They even have unique offerings like the lotus root stir-fried with luffa squash! The staff was attentive and made sure my dining experience was smooth. A must try! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are searching for authentic Cantonese food, search no more! Yan Zi Lou is where you need to be! Their roasted pork belly was one of the best I've had – juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. The decor is simple, but the food more than compensates for it. Highly recommended for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great little spot for authentic Chinese food! I loved the wontons; they were fresh and tasted homemade. The service was attentive, and I appreciate how clean the restaurant was. Plan on coming back to try more dishes; the menu is quite extensive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yan Zi Lou is fantastic! Their menu offers a great variety, and everything we've tried has been delicious! I particularly liked the mixed vegetable stir-fry. The service was friendly, and the ambiance was cozy, which made it a lovely evening out. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for beautiful food and a nice time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a bit unassuming from the outside, but let me tell you, the food is next-level. My friend and I had several dishes, including the stir-fried vermicelli with dried shrimp, and everything was bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly, though they did seem a tad overwhelmed during the dinner rush. Would highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Chinese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was good but could use some tweaks. I ordered the tofu with garlic, and while it was nice, it was a bit overly salty for my taste. The rest of the meal was solid. You can see that they really care about maintaining their authentic recipes, which is commendable. Great portions and value. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my parents here for dinner, hoping for a good meal, and I was not disappointed! Each dish we ordered had its unique flavor and felt properly representative of Cantonese cuisine. The wait was a little longer than expected, but once we got our food, it was fantastic! I've already made plans to return on their next visit to Portland. " (*Curated Review*)
