Today I was really craving some decent Chinese food and my regular go to Fortune Garden was closed because of the blizzard. Ive heard from my friends that evergreen was yummy and this restaurant has good reviews online so I took a chance and Im happy I did! Chinese food in the Portland area is usually bland and overpriced, its very difficult to find decent Chinese food! I took a chance with Evergreen and the food is amazing. Id say the reviews are spot on. I ordered the chicken lo mein dinner combination with crab Rangoon as my appetizer and the hot and sour as my choice of soup. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious! The flavors were amazing and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I hate soggy/mushy noodles so the texture really impressed me. The chicken was cooked well too and there was just the right amount of sauce on the noodles. The crab rangoons are huge and made with imitation crab meat. personally I have no problem with this most places dont have any meat in their crab rangoons just cream cheese. The website specifically states they use imitation crab meat so points for honesty. They were on the sweeter side and very yummy. They were above average and Did not disappoint.The hot and sour soup was very pleasing. The consistency was great. All of the spice was there but wasnt overpowering to the sour aspect of the soup. The portion sizes are unreal! Each dinner combination comes with a generous scoop of fried rice and your choice of appetizer and soup. Most are under 10$ my lo mein, fried rice, 3 giant crab rangoons and huge (huge!) tub of soup was $8.60 ($9.40 after tax!) Ive never received so much food before in my life for that price. Its obnoxious how much food you get its genuinely a great deal. People say they give large amounts of food but I was blown away. I couldnt finish my dinner combination it was easily more than enough food to feed two people and still have leftovers! The food is delicious and the prices are unreal I highly recommend Evergreen! So much that Im writing a review. I wish they had a location in Portland but I will gladly drive to south Portland for their food. It was so refreshing to have quality Chinese food something people in the area know is hard to come by. Im so happy I tried them I will absolutely be back for more. I ordered takeout however they have 4 or 5 tables in the small restaurant to dine in at. Great service, delicious food and amazing prices what more could you ask for? Try them out you will be more than satisfied.

I have ordered delivery twice now and this is my new favorite Chinese Restaurant. The food arrives hot and everything is beyond fresh...the veggies are crisp and the flavor is beyond great....Wonton soup is filled with flavor and they do not skimp on the wontons or fresh veggies......tonight I ordered the dinner special D29...the chicken wings where plump and full of flavor...crab rangoon........another melt in your mouth full of flavor...you can actually taste the crab....boneless ribs where cut thin and where moist and the sauce ya again yummy...the chicken fingers fried perfect..white meat...very moist....again perfection! For a small price ($8.25) you get an abundance of food packed with flavor!!! I highly recommend EVERGREEN CHINESE RESTAURANT ! And the delivery person was polite and service was beyond great from placing the order to its arrival....no complaints!!! I highly suggest everyone tries this place...my next step is to visit the restaurant instead of home delivery...if home service is this great I cant imagine what the restaurant itself is like!!!!!!!!! Very happy and full!!! And I have eaten at several Chinese Restaurants...this is my #1 choice,,,,if you havent tried it....your missing out on some very great great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Excellent all the way round. Truly first rate! I am extremely impressed. I ordered two egg rolls and the Singapore Mei Fun (rice noodles with chicken, shrimp, pork, ham, carrots, onions, and scallions with a curry sauce). I was told it would take 45 - 60 minutes for delivery, the meal arrived in just under 30 minutes. The egg rolls were crisp, hot, stuffed full, and delicious.The Mei Fun was excellent, and a nice large entree portion, easily filling an 8.5 x 5.5 in Styrofoam container. It was filled with large amounts of shrimp, chicken, ham, and pork as well as carrots, onions, and scallions, all cut into nice large julienne strips. The sauce had a very nice curry flabour and was well spiced for the average diner (next time i will probably have them bump up the curry and ginger for a little more spice and heat). The prices are excellent, averaging about a dollar less per item than other restaurants. The $4.00 delivery charge is a little steep, but they are coming from South Portland with $3.50/gallon gas. This gem of a Chinese restaurant is a real keeper and the new #1 on my list

4 stars for great food! I had tried such as orange chicken, Lo Mien, lobster source shrimp, bbq boneless ribs etc; but, I dont like the sweet and sour chicken because the source taste artificial. It could be my expectation was too high. This is just completely different from what I use to have. (btw, Im Chinese Malaysian now living in South Portland). 1 star for the MISSING APPETIZER in my box! Whenever I order at the counter or phone call with CRAB RANGOON appetizer, the kitchen didnt put in my crab rangoon in the box for TWICE. 5 stars for good price, especially the deals!

When we call, the lady knows my husbands number and says, "Hello Shain!" This is impressive because we dont even call often... Wed eat there every day if we werent trying to keep in shape hehe. Husband gets General tso chicken and every time it is piping hot and according to him very good. I always get Sweet and sour chicken with crab rangoons. The prices are SO GOOD. And the lunch and dinner specials give you two sides along with your entre. It is clean and always busy. Not a classy fancy schmancy joint, just a good spot to get some good food. <3 <3 Evergreen

Food is good but always very difficult to communicate with the owner, whenever I order something there is an issue especially when asked if i want duck sauce soy sauce and spicy mustard. I always say yes and extra duck sauce but all I get is extra duck sauce when I open it at home. I recently just called and ordered a order of beef teriyaki hoping it would be a few pieces on the stick for 6 dollars or so. I went to pick up and she had 4 pieces for 10 something. I diddnt want to pay and she said she wouldnt take my order.

Hands down one of the best Chinese places in the greater Portland area! And Ive lived in Portland 25 years! Service and food is amazing! Food is always fresh and the workers are super polite and friendly! If I want Chinese Evergreen it is! They no longer offer delivery but honestly your food is so great it is worth the drive to pick it up! If your looking for a great authentic Chinese place Evergreen is def where you need to be! A++!

Posted a picture of my 18$ pupu platter.. Im really happy with the amount of food we got.. 2 jumbo shrimp, one each of chicken and beef on a stick, 4 chicken wings, 2 egg rolls, a large portion of BBQ pork, ect. Even though they were at peAK hours the food got here still hot and fresh. 5$ delivery charge threw me off a little. But the guy was nice aND still deserved a tip. Thanks guys
