Food here all day is amazing. Be prepared to wait on weekends but all of their food is worth the wait and not as expensive as some of the more trendy restaurants in Portland. If you are without a car, the 20 bus outside our door will take you all the way there...

So beautiful rain or shine, Lan Su is just the right amount of beauty and culture for anyone. Nestled on one square block of downtown close to the light rail, it will allow for exquisite photos to return home with. It never seems crowded when we visit and they have a 2 for 1 offer in the chinook book App.
