Local Dining

Lucky Cheetah is a distinctive "dumpling lounge" located in Portland's Old Port, offering an eclectic atmosphere complemented by a creative cocktail menu. First thing that draws your attention upon arrival is the decor! The bar area specifically drew my attention due to the colorful lighting and the array of unique cocktail glasses. There is plenty of artwork and creative designs to keep your eyes busy while you settle in and look over the menu.

The menu, primarily focused on creative dim sum and dumpling-inspired dishes, is full of bold flavors and unexpected combinations. The pork wontons in chili oil are delicious, offering the perfect balance of spice and savoriness. The char siu buns was another favorite, with a tender and flavorful filling. I decided to try the highly recommended Lucky Martini for a cocktail. The drink consists of sesame fat washed vodka with a side of caviar stuffed olives! 

 Overall, Lucky Cheetah provides a unique and enjoyable setting for those seeking a blend of innovative cuisine and lively atmosphere in Portland.
