Ambassador Restaurant & Lounge, Portland, Oregon Restaurant Details

Food:

This is a horrible business. They don't pay their bills! They lie and steal. Don't do business with these criminals!

Food:

I like the ambiance of the bar. The walls and ceiling are dark and there is lots of mirrors. Saltwater fish behind the bar. The Staff has always been friendly and the Chinese food is good too. I like the Kung Pao chicken. Great place for karaoke with friends. Has a stage, dance floor, computer login to submit your songs to the KJ. There is an entirely separate karaoke system in the restaurant and on Sunday's they have family karaoke.

Food:

A NEW HIGH IN LOWS. this was quite possibly the worst chinese food I've ever eaten. lets start with the BBQ spare ribs. i think of a chinese spare rib as about 4' long and a smoky (dare i say it?) bbq taste. the ribs were little nubs of meat that had been cooked then breaded then fried and then doused in some non descript sauce.

pork fried rice was just huge amounts of salty rice. not spicy. even overly spicy i can handle . no, this rice was just pure salt. i actually winced the way one does when they bite into a lemon wedge.

The Ambassador pan fried noodles were about as bland as can be. that dish ( a specialty of the house i was told) reminded me of when i was a kid and my mom would buy those cans of LaChoy chinese foods.i was 13 so i didn't know better. but again this dish was nothing anyone should order ever.

i also ordered the fried won ton appetizer. they could have been ok but they had a slight taste of dish soap to them. as if someone had some soap on their hands or in the dish, and it had touched the won tons.

won ton soup. nothing tantalizing about this soup and the wonton noodles fell apart as if they had been lingering in that soup for a few days. these are not fresh wontons used in the soup.

spring rolls- they've seen better springs. these might want to be called autumn rolls. or even winter rolls. a bit greasy.

overall just really bad food. but i hear the karaoke is really good.

Food:

The food was pretty bad. My friend ordered a dish that smelled like urine. The vegetables were not fresh. And the My dish had too much sauce.

On the plus side the waiter and door greeters were very nice. And the place is open late.

Food:

I guess it must have been a terrible day here or something but this was the worst chinese food I've ever had. I mean like ever. The soup was terrible: we ordered two different soups -one smelled and tasted like urine (no joke I thought my son had an accident at the table) the other we ended up getting two cups of (one ordered and one replacement soup) didn't even taste the same in both cups. The shrimp was a frozen variety and not even fresh tasting. And the chicken dish had giant chunks of uncooked veggies in it. Not too mention the prices were ridiculously high for chinese food.

The service was really good and the beer was reasonably priced. I didn't have the opportunity to try the mixed drinks but The place looked like it would be fun for night life although it did look like the best days were behind it and maybe they could use an update. I would really like to give this place 3 stars but seriously WORST CHINESE FOOD EVER. It really was a nice place with nice people just get the chef some training and some proper prep time.
