We had the best dinner again at Lucky Cheetah with friends last night! The flavors, the spiciness of the dishes and decor, the atmosphere & customer service were all over the top, just as always! My group was “roaring” with delight! Can’t wait to go back! ☘️🐆

Our son asked to go to David's for his birthday dinner in June. We had never been and were very pleasantly surprised. We have since returned three additional times, including last night. Each time the food and the service have been amazing. My husband and I enjoy sharing our meals and we have always been graciously accommodated by the servers. We are trying to experience more restaurants in Portland, but we always seem to end up back at David's.
