Port China's eggrolls were the best I've ever had. They will be missed.

I'd imagine some ambitious developer will now buy up the empty buildings near that corner, make Northpoint Service an offer he can't refuse, and put up something with virtually no architectural character.

You are right on about the egg rolls!! No other place I've been had egg rolls like Port. If you want some authentic, good Chinese food - try either of the Fortune restaurants on Hwy 100 (West Allis or Hales Corners). They have an Americanized menu and a hard core Chinese menu. You can even get chicken feet or jellyfish!

The food was very good, but the place was a dump. Never put any money into the building or decor. It was dark and depressing eating in there. Most of their business was probably take-out for this reason. Dark and dingy. Hopefully someone will put another restaurant there, but my guess is that it will be a bank or office...a small neighborhood eatery is a tough business but we can still hope....

Whatever they do, I hope they do not tear down that building but fully restore it. I don't know who designed it but it looks very much like a John Randal McDonald or similar design. What an awesome location for a mid-century modern furniture store or something. If the price weren't so high I would consider buying it just to restore it. Never ate at the chinese place though. Honestly, I never saw cars there so I thought it was closed for the last 4 years.
