The Essence Of China - West Linn

Consistently outstanding. They do their own local delivery which is a genuine attribute on a night where you just don't want to venture out. The wait staff is superior and always cheery and friendly. Nothing but the highest praise.

The fact you can still order delivery without going through some annoying door dash postmate or food delivery app is quite a rarity. They have pretty authentic Mandarin style Chinese food. I enjoy that they still the same people working there they had eight years ago. I give it two thumbs up.

They rarely disappoint and their very consistent. The hot and sour soup rules on a hangover and the won ton is excellent for a cold or feeling down. The service and timeliness has become horrible on occasion since 11/23. The lack of a receptionist to answer the phone creates chaos.

This place is an absolute gem. I feel like the quality of the food at Chinese restaurant is directly related to how unaesthetically pleasing the menu looks. The menus here are times new roman type, on printer paper, in a binder sleeve, NO pictures. It looks like the a middle schooler designed them. And sure enough the food is OUTSTANDING. The staff is really friendly and we were served promptly.

Delicious food, I had the honey walnut shrimp. They have wine and various fountain drinks and tea. Kind employees.
