It's a vibe... We tried everything available for vegetarians and pescatarians on the small plate menu. Biggest hit had to be the mushroom and truffle dumplings. Nice service. Cool music (heard some Guru and Son Real and Aaliyah). Great atmosphe...

This place is incredible! The under ground dimly lit restaurant adds to the ambiance of the whole experience! We sat at the bar and the bartender gave us so many recommendations. We would highly recommend the Waygu egg rolls, mojo baby corn, ch...
ar siu bao, lobster and crab lucky bags, and the soup dumplings. If you save enough room for desert get the coconut cake! The cocktails we had were great! The decor in the place was beautiful.

Walked by during the day, it looked great from the curb/menu so we made a reservation for the next night without consulting the Google (can I say that here?). We're from Maryland and finding good Chinese food is a challenge so we jumped on th...
is chance. We were not disappointed. So many options, we had a tough time deciding, but settled on tempura maitake mushrooms, sichuan marinated cucumber "snakes", and cold sesame noodles to start. Nice selection of wine by the glass or bottle to complement your meal. Noodles were fantastic with overripe red jalapenos (which knocks the heat down a notch), the shrooms were next level (we ordered seconds), the presentation on the cukes was amazing, sadly, they were a little watery and less flavorful than we would have liked. But wow, they looked amazing. Waygu eggrolls were nice, the lobster lucky bags weren't my thing. SO many things I'd still like to try, we gotta go back. Did I mention that the service was really good? If you're nice and ask you will find that they have secret hot sauces (chef made) in case you're a hottie (pair those with the mushrooms, etc.) and lets just say that the interior decorating was near flawless. Nice job Cheetah!

We came to Portland on December 26, (my son had hockey tournament), in the evening we went to explore and unfortunately lots of restaurants were either closed( even though google said they were open), or packed.
Lucky Cheetah π was just a gamb...
le, we just picked it on google hoping to find any place we can go to eat. And it turned out to be amazing
Loved the decor and vibe, we had a bar sitting , I usually never sit at the bar so it was interesting. All the people working in this place were beautiful, young and super nice.
Food menu isnβt much: we had mussels, which were delicious & really big, interesting combination with kind of coleslaw, I loved it. I enjoyed my drinks. Noodles& wontons my daughter had I think she enjoyed a lot.
So , yeah, really nice place. Music they play u can hear outside.
Totally recommend

This is a top notch dining experience. My husband researched & chose for our anniversary dinner. I am very picky and hard to please, I will admit. We own a B&B in Cornish ME and my husband is an amazing chef, so it's hard for us to find "food ...
as good".. well, this place took the prize. I loved the vibe & decor and the food was delicious & fresh. Cooper, our bar tender & server was a delight. He offered recommendations and made amazing cocktails. Parking lot was close (cost about $15 to park) and the meal was reasonable, relative to the amazing quality food. We will be back, and I don't say that often. Highly recommend
