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.

    I cannot say enough glowing things about Lucky Cheetah. From the moment I walked through the door, the music, the colors and the atmosphere had me! The servers were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The food and drinks were top notch! Don’t miss the martini with caviar stuffed olives and the king mushroom! So delicious. I can’t wait to go back!

    It is a really eclectic atmosphere which is fun. The service from the minute you open the door is exceptional. The food was over sauced/seasoned...just a pinch to much drama/reach. We waited along time for meal and the pork belly was dry. There are to many great places in Portland sadly we probably won't go back.

    I loved the vibe of this place and the service was amazing! Our waiter was psyched when we asked his opinion and didn’t hesitate to jump in with suggestions. Food was a 4/5 for me, and I dig the old-world eclectic furnishings mixed with the upbeat higher energy music. I’ll definitely bring out of town guests here because it was just a fun night!

    The restaurant was beautiful…a bit overshadowed by the loud and booming music overhead like that of a nightclub. The food was good…too heavy on the use of red pepper flake in every dish we ordered, as well as the sauces brought to the table. Service was excellent!
