Dim sum enthusiasts and champagne lovers alike can indulge in in the elevated, yet unpretentious fine-dining experience offered in this sexy, and intimate underground hideaway. The menu honors Cantonese classics with dishes like Xiaolongbao and Char Siu Bao, while creative offerings such as Foie Gras Blackberry Dumplings with Brown Butter Miso Crumb showcase culinary innovation in this celebration of Chinese American fare. A deep champagne and wine list complements the menu, and at the 14-seat Pink Italian Stone bar, classic cocktails are shaken up with unique spice combinations and Asian-produced liquors, like a Manhattan riff “Doyer’s Street” made with Chinese five-spice infused Burbon and Fernet Michaud from Portland, ME

Note: Table reservation durations: 1,5 hours for parties of two, 2hours for parties of 4 or more. Walk-in seats are available at the bar.

    If you're on the hunt for a culinary treasure trove, look no further than this gem of a restaurant! The dumplings here are nothing short of exquisite, bursting with flavor in every bite. The experience is made even more delightful by Stefan, our server, who was both friendly and professional, adding a personal touch to our meal. With such impeccable service and scrumptious food, I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

    I can't say enough about this place. The ambience will be the first thing that grabs your attention. Secondly, the entire staff is genuinely friendly and helpful. You might have one server or bartender but the entire staff will be attentive to your needs. The drinks were amazing and the food was so good. I cannot wait to go back. I left my debit card there and the next day the entire staff recognized me and thanked me.

    The Lucky Cheetah is a must try in Portland! The cocktails were delicious - unique & perfectly balanced. The food was incredible - our favorites were the soup dumplings & char sui bao. The caviar service was also amazing!

    The food and drinks are always good, but the service is what makes Lucky Cheetah so exceptional. We always appreciate the extra lengths their team will go to make our dining experience so special. A shoutout to Ana for her warm hospitality and making each night out for us and our friends so great!

    Lucky Cheetah is an absolute gem for dim sum lovers. The moment you walk in the atmosphere sets the tone for an incredible dining experience. The service is attentive, friendly, and efficient. The food is exceptional and after 4 visits to this restaurant we have yet to find a dish we didn’t love.
