Seres
1105 NW LovejoyPortland, OR 97209 (Map) Phone: 971/222-7327 Website: Seres >> Download Menu This striking spot in the midst of dusty condo developments features earth-toned walls, soaring ceilings and nothing but fresh orchids for decoration. The feel can be elegant or simply stark, depending on the number of patrons. The staff is vigilant and friendly; keep your ears peeled, because language can be a barrier at times. This is the kind of comforting food Mom would cook you, if you were Chinese royalty. Standards like pot stickers--plump pork dumplings enrobed in silky dough, and velvety winter melon soup are a hint of good things to come. Entree standouts include pei pa bean curd--an unusual dish of minced scallops in a crispy tofu shell over steamed spinach--and meltingly tender pork tenderloin pepper stir-fry. For special occasion dinners, splurge on the gigantic lobster tail in Mandarin sauce, or call two days ahead to order crisp, succulent Peking duck.
