Dim sum enthusiasts and champagne lovers alike can indulge in in the elevated, yet unpretentious fine-dining experience offered in this sexy, and intimate underground hideaway. The menu honors Cantonese classics with dishes like Xiaolongbao and Char Siu Bao, while creative offerings such as Foie Gras Blackberry Dumplings with Brown Butter Miso Crumb showcase culinary innovation in this celebration of Chinese American fare. A deep champagne and wine list complements the menu, and at the 14-seat Pink Italian Stone bar, classic cocktails are shaken up with unique spice combinations and Asian-produced liquors, like a Manhattan riff “Doyer’s Street” made with Chinese five-spice infused Burbon and Fernet Michaud from Portland, ME

Note: Table reservation durations: 1,5 hours for parties of two, 2hours for parties of 4 or more. Walk-in seats are available at the bar.

    The food and drinks are always good, but the service is what makes Lucky Cheetah so exceptional. We always appreciate the extra lengths their team will go to make our dining experience so special.

    The Lucky Cheetah is a must try in Portland! The cocktails were delicious - unique & perfectly balanced. The food was incredible - our favorites were the soup dumplings & char sui bao. The caviar service was also amazing!

    Lucky Cheetah is an absolute gem for dim sum lovers. The moment you walk in the atmosphere sets the tone for an incredible dining experience. The service is attentive, friendly, and efficient. The food is exceptional and after 4 visits to this restaurant we have yet to find a dish we didn’t love.

    I cannot say enough glowing things about Lucky Cheetah. From the moment I walked through the door, the music, the colors and the atmosphere had me! The servers were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The food and drinks were top notch! Don’t miss the martini with caviar stuffed olives and the king mushroom! So delicious. I can’t wait to go back!
