Last Supper - Divine Inspiration - Portland Mercury: Feb 19, 2007 5:24pm 1 review •http://www.portlandmercury.com/portla...; Yummy Garden

4729 SE Milwaukie Avenue, 503-239-8551

Yummy is that rare find, a Chinese-American restaurant that, though their clientele may not appreciate the delicate nuances of Chinese food, will still cook their asses off, with skill and bravado. Still, there's nothing extraordinary about this place; okay, actually there is.

The décor is kind of outlandish--it was inherited from a former Hollywood-themed burger joint, and all the C-list movie memorabilia remains, as does the Zen film reel fountain in the corner. The Yummy Lo-Mein is possibly the best Western-style Lo-Mein I've ever had. A recent rainy-day treat of Two Flavors with Scallions (beef and chicken) was very tasty and more Chinesy than you'd ever expect from a hole-in-the-wall on Milwaukie Avenue. The portions are on the generous side, and there are always leftovers, even with the lunch specials, which are essentially the same food for less.

The thought of ever living more than five miles from a capable, dependable Chinese restaurant like Yummy Garden is a harrowing one indeed. Happily, Mercury readers won't be in that predicament, as our city is on the list of "Cities Blessed with Divine Chinese Food." It's a short list, mind you. We are very lucky, and most of us will also have longevity."
