Jong Can - Portland

Like being taken back to Changsha, Hunan! I had the stir fried pork with peppers and it was a little different than Qing Jiao Chou Rou, but I could taste it's DNA! The addition of cabbage was great, I didn't hate the bell peppers when I usually do and the spice and oil was less than what I remember from China, but they've turned it from a meat main designed for large family dining situation in a Chinese family restaurant into a complete meal for one and I just really enjoyed this place! Don't sleep on it! Feels pretty new and I am going to come back frequently!!Honestly my only gripe is I wish there was a way to get a small side of their vegetables dishes to balance out my meal and that's such a small gripe.I've never found a Chinese stir fry place in PDX that I loved before but this place was love at first bite!

There’s potential with the restaurant. The prices have increased by either a $1 or .50 just a heads up. If you’re dining in the wait time for your food will be 45 minutes minimum). We ordered at 4 and got our food at 4:50. Had to say the pork ribs I ordered didn’t match the pork ribs in the photo, the portion of the rib chunks I got 11) compared to the price $13.50) felt like a huge rip off. The staff is friendly though. I can tell they are trying. Next time I will just order my ribs from Chinese Duck House cause they make really huge portions so the price feels worth it. This spot would be good for tea and drinks though! Their prices are decent for the drinks they offer. Thank you Jong Can!

This business has been closed since Covid. They recently purchased the entire back lot to their business. It used to be shared with the Mexican place next door. I ate at the Mexican place came back to my car being towed by the owner of Jong Can. THEY HAVENT BEEN OPENED FOR BUSINESS IN 3 YEARS!!I will never support this place, they don’t deserve anyone’s business once they reopen

Mannn…. I drove all the way to Corvallis to get food just from here. I don’t go no other places but here. The food and wein the service is a nice guy.

I love this place.... So glad I found it. I am kind of a creature of habit and always order the Black Pepper Chicken. It is so delicious I think about it when I'm nowhere near the place. Nice portion. Super fresh and flavorful. Always nice staff and reasonable prices make it a great lunch spot. I just love it and want to make sure this place has enough business to stick around.One tiny caveat...there are never more than one or two people working at once so if it is busy, waiting time can be a little long. Since I only have a 30 minute lunch I have tried to call ahead and order, but that has never worked out as no one seems to answer the phone when I have tried this. Not sure what's going on there, but the food is worth a bit of a wait. Check it out!
