" Visited last week, and the food was truly authentic and flavorful! The beef and broccoli dish had the right amount of sauce and freshness. The only downside was the crowded atmosphere; it made it tough to have a quiet dinner. Overall, a great dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This little gem surprised me! From the moment I walked in, the aroma of deliciousness hit me. I tried the Peking pork chops, and they were fantastic! The service was a bit slow, but the quality of food made it worth the wait. Looking forward to my next visit as I plan to try more items from their extensive menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience here was mostly positive. The food was flavorful, especially the sweet and sour chicken. The only issue I noticed was the communication barrier. While the staff was friendly, sometimes it was challenging to understand them. Nonetheless, a pleasant dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for lunch on a busy weekday, and I thought it was managed well. The food was hot and tasted incredible! Their cumin lamb was perfectly spiced and tender. I loved the complimentary soup - it was a nice touch! The only drawback was the parking situation, which can be a hassle. I'm definitely coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible experience at Yan Zi Lou! The roast duck was succulent and the service was attentive. The flavor of the dishes brought back memories of my travels in China, especially the black pepper eggplant which I can't recommend enough. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a family dinner. We left with leftovers because the portions were generous. Looking forward to our next visit! " (*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*)
