Excellent Cuisine

Aptly named. We rolled in around 2 pm and we expected to be served the limp leftovers from the morning and midday brunch. Instead we had ample options to choose from: a stunning assortment of vegetarian and shrimp filled dumplings (there are subtle but important differences between them all), sweet and gooey egg buns and egg tarts (still with a crunch on the outside but not dry at all on the inside). The buns tasted fresh, like they'd been prepared that morning, and everything was still hot! We were seated promptly. There's so many large tables to choose from perfect for bringing your family. Our servers were never too overbearing. They didn't try to push any dishes on us we didn't want but we were always ready to pop up if we called for them. I was watching the restaurant staff enjoying their lunch break together and I kept mental tabs on what they were eating, it looked fresh and incredible. The meals they had were simple but looked awesome. It made me feel like this place is the real deal - very authentic! The Jasmine tea is simply heavenly. I basically drank the whole pot and I don't even drink tea regularly y'all. I will be coming back here often for my weekend Dim Sum.

I've only ordered take away from here a couple times, and it's always a win for me. Fast, hot and fresh. Portions are big and I love their hot and sour soup. Hot and sour can be not worth eating sometimes, but there's is full of mushrooms, tofu and spice, and not gloopy finished with toasted sesame oil. Usually order a couple dim sum items, sticky rice is great, shumai is super big and tons of whole shrimp. My partner got some Mongolian beef this time, and it was super juicy, tender and lots of veggies. Service (only to go opinion), is great. Though I go at less busy times. The nice lady even asked if I was picking up for myself and mentioned to call next time vs an app to save money, very nice. Place is big, clean and accessible if you have mobility challenges. Plenty of parking spots!I will be back to dine in soon and get some better pics and video.

Excellent cuisine is excellent dim sum. This establishment presents a foyer to the entrance of the restaurant. And then lots of tables, chairs, and dumplings. I can't spell the names of the wonderful dishes; however, they are authentic and delicious. My favorite are the shrimp dishes. If real dim sum is new to you or is not your jam, then give it a shot. That service is always roaming like tiger moms, so keep an eye out for those carts.

I can't really say much. I am considered to have an iron stomach. At least that's what my wife tells me. But something got me here. The last time we ate here, it was still Wong's King. My hopes hadn't been all that high but I was trying to be optimistic. To be frank, we ordered several dishes and really enjoyed dining here. But by the time we left, we just didn't feel right. We didn't get sick, but we're probably not returning. I know a couple of people who have had decent (but not really memorable) experiences here. So ymmv. But for me and my wife.... we'll just have to go elsewhere to get our fill.

Came here at peak time, a Sunday at 11am. I would not recommend coming at this time unless you have the time to wait. Also, parking can be hard to get as well since the parking lot is not that big & is used for other businesses in the plaza. It was confusing as to how to put your name down for a table, the hostess doesn't tell you & there are no signs but walk up to the register & they will write your name down & give you a number. Waited 40 minutes before we got a table. Got seated in this weird back room that looked like it's reserved for private karaoke parties. The cart ladies did not come around often & at one point, the hostess asked the room if any of us needed more food when myself & another big table had just gotten seated & had no food like we weren't a priority since they sat us in this back room. Waitresses came out quick tho to provide hot tea & iced water & a side dish of chili oil which was nice. I always like when I don't have to ask for those things at dim sum. Eventually cart ladies did come around, my favorite were the egg tarts & the har gow. The bean curd rolls here lacked flavor. The rest of the items we ate like shu mai, shrimp rice noodles, shrimp balls, etc... were all good but average. The fried footballs filling was too sweet for my taste as well as the sauce for the shrimp rice noodles. As far as service, it was the same of many Asian dim sum restaurants, not friendly & sometimes rude but enough to get the job done. Overall, while the food wasn't bad, it wasn't good enough to justify the higher price point compared to other dim sum spots nearby & the long wait time. Everything was served hot & fresh but you can get that at any dim sum as long as you go early in the morning. I'll stick with HK cafe, wait times there are never long & the price is better for the same quality of food & I like the way they make certain dishes over Excellent Cuisine. Don't get the hype.

Loooove Excellent Cuisine. Everything we ordered was super delicious, and came out quick. Ordering was family style, about 4-6 dishes total for 4 people was plenty. Inside was bright and open.

Dim sum restaurant on Division. Decent, but to be honest, other dim sum places in Portland are better. The carts where slow to come around and selection was not as big as other establishments. We arrived at opening and it was easy to get seated. Within one hour the place was very packed . I honestly recommend HK Cafe over this place.

Stopped by this dim sum spot a few weeks ago. We were seated and immediately the ladies with the carts came over. I loved their har gow and shrimp rolls, they were so soft. The chicken feet were also super flavorful. Shrimp crab dumpling looked fancy but was similar to a har gow. We were already full when the char siu baos and turnip cakes came around so we'll definitely be back to get those next time! We got there early ~10am and there was no line and plenty of parking.

Soooo good! Definitely thoroughly satisfied my dim sum craving. Came right at peak dim sum time (Sunday around 11) so everything was very fresh and hot as we were served. Loved the bustling energy inside with tables full of people. Good to know parking getting really full so I'd park in the neighborhood right before the turn in. My favorite is always the ham sui gok and it was perfection - filling ratio, fry, texture all of it. I also recommend their steamed bbq pork bun and yutiao (fried donut). I think this place was better than HK cafe as well. Worth a visit!

Excellent CuisineI'm not sure about the name, if they are indeed deserving of that.. come here about once a year, and each time, their food is either bland or okaycame here today because I was feeling like going to a big Chinese restaurant that looked elevated or close to it, and haven't been here for a while and wanted to see if they got better/changed their chef/new chef came/or whatever and felt like some good ol' Chow Funso here I amstarted out with their restroom and BOY, the door and handles need a good wiping!  I mean so many fingerprints since the door is copper-like materialservice was good throughout, they sat me and got me the food I wanted..I ordered four things:1) Beef Chow Fun - executed good; tender beef.. wasn't bland but can use a little more flavor, and most-of-all wok flavor! 3/52) Preserved Egg and Lean Pork Rice Porridge - lots of fatty pork pieces and a good amount of diced egg, but it was super BLAND! no salt or anything added, and because I only added soy sauce afterwards, it still wasn't enough.. then added a little chili oil, and it helped 3/53) Siu Mai - not the best I had, but decent.. pork and shrimp was there 3/54) Egg Tarts - worst I had, it was SUPER OFF! tasted like when peanuts go bad type of flavor, instead of rich, buttery, fresh egg sweetness over flaky shell.. the lady asked me if I wanted to bag the last one left on the plate.. I said no 1/5
