There’s a new place for lunch and dinner in the Parkrose area.
Good World Chinese Restaurant & Lounge opened earlier this year at 10721 N.E. Sandy Blvd. in Parkrose

Owners Kevin and Wan Su, husband and wife, have created a restaurant that is friendly and inviting. They told the Memo that the Chinese food they offer is low in fat and yet high in fiber, which they say is excellent for the diet.

Good World serves both Cantonese and Szechwan style Chinese food, along with what is more traditionally called “Chinese-American” food. The chef expertly prepares each dish, and there are literally dozens of different choices.
