Ambassador Restaurant and Karaoke Lounge is a casual Hollywood District restaurant and bar featuring great Chinese food at budget prices. The menu is diverse with an excellent selection of spicy Szechuan and Cantonese entrees. Shrimp lovers should try the Yuzi Shrimp or the Shrimp Lover's Delight. Hunan cooking is also featured extensively on the menu. The decor may exude a 1970s feel, but the atmosphere is current and lively. The dark, comfortable lounge is a popular retreat, with food available until closing time. Order a beverage or two from the full bar, join the rowdy crowd for nightly karaoke, or reserve a spot for large parties.
Orenco Station in Hillsboro, Oregon, just outside of Portland proper, is a great development for the folks in the neighborhood. Orenco Station Grill could be considered the local watering hole. Serving a great selection of American fare--from steak and potatoes to prawns and crab cakes--this restaurant certainly represents what the coast has to offer. A majority of menu features items from the sea. Try the salmon or the mahi mahi from the grill if you're looking for something healthy and wonderful. Be sure to tip the waitresses and visit the bar after a meal for great adult beverages.
