The Chiam - Portland

Got the cashew chicken, szechuan chicken, and fried rice. Both the chicken dishes were quite salty, had a bunch of liquid at the bottom, and the chicken was pretty soggy. The Szechuan chicken had absolutely zero spice which was very odd. The cashew chicken was fine but nothing special. The fried rice was predominantly sweet and didn't really have any flavor.

Rennovated and refreshed. Tasty American Chinese dishes. Xiaolongbao, cumin lamb, sweet sour chicken.

New 11/2023 Hometown Taste Chinese (Szechuan and Cantonese) is completely different menu, owner and remodel No review from me as of yet. Review was for the former Chiam 2022 this place is consistent, prices remain reasonable and the menu hasn't changed. Chiam is my favorite hole in the wall Chinese, I've been coming here since 2018 when I moved into the area. The never been remodeled decor gives it that old comfort feeling, hahaa. Old school, sometimes you just have to have it, too much modern fusion going on. The food ... Although not traditional, my favorite still has to be the yellow curry chicken and beef, many places just can't get curry right. Nice bright yellow curry with a clean rich mild flavor profile, not muddy brown. Delicious! The standard fried rice isn't anything special, otherwise everything here is actually pretty good with a few not so good entrees here and there. The Lo Mein is that soft noodle style and comes in large portions. The Chow Mein is tasty and might take you down memory lane if you're a fan of the old stir fried celery, bean sprouts, and water chestnuts served over a bed of crispy crunch dried noodle. If PF Changs is what you consider great food, then this place is not for you. Chiam is a small friendly family owned and operated establishment, they're even managing to stay open with togo orders during the pandemic and shut downs. Excellent little place for some well priced grub. #YellowCurry #LowMein #ChowMein

We’ve been waiting for a delicious and inexpensive Chinese restaurant to open up in our neighborhood, and it finally did! We went to lunch for the first time today, absolutely yummy! I ordered the chicken chow mein… so good! The chicken was fresh and crispy, the noodles perfectly sized and flavorful. The lunch came with a hot n sour soup also very good, thick and tasty) with 2 different rice options to pick from. Also ordered Egg rolls 3) under 5$, where can you find that??? With everything, my lunch order and my partners, 1 soda, 1 appetizer and soup all for 30$ excluding tip). I am beyond grateful for this restaurant to have opened. Try it. You will not be disappointed.

WHOA! WHERE DID CHIAM'S GO? AND, FIGURE ME THIS: WHY DID MY REVIEW OF CHIAM'S GET TRANSFERRED TO THIS NEW BUSINESS THAT I'VE NEVER BEEN TO? THAT IS VERY WRONG!
