50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Portland

“I love mama chows and since earlier this year I have become a regular! The two chefs are always so helpful and check in on you after you eat even though it's a food cart! The garlic noodles are incredible and have the perfect chew! Plus you have a variety of toppings for whatever mood you are in! I recently had the garlic shrimp garlic noodles and I wish that they would add it to the menu full time! A must try in Portland!“

“Street Wok is an excellent choice if you’re looking for standard Chinese food done exceptionally well. All the regular go-to’s are fresh and well-flavored - sesame chicken, orange chicken, won-ton soup etc. The food is several notches above the usual fare you’ll fine in most US cities. Located in an unremarkable strip mall with basic, almost barren decor, it’s easy to miss. Most people seem to do to-go orders, and the dine-in experience includes a looping Chinese song that played a minimum 12 times during our 30 minute lunch :-)“

“This place took over what used to be Pot & Spicy. The interior is pretty much the same - nice and simple. The food offerings was a bit similar to before. We ordered a few skewers and a bowl of Beef Golden Soup to share. The server was friendly and quick to get our order in. The bacon needle mushroom and beef skewers were tasty, as well as the chicken heart skewers. The popcorn chicken could have used a better batter, in my opinion. It was more of a panko coat to it and needed more spice to it. The Beef Golden Soup was flavorful, and I enjoyed it.“

“Went to Xin Ding for dinner. The vibe was giving sports bar, which was great for us because we had just finished a hike and were looking for a quick spot to eat. The food was good, the vegetable dumplings and the Pork Xiao Long were our favorite dumplings. The orange chicken and sesame chicken were ok, felt like they could have had a little more flavor. The chicken fried rice was really good! The portion sizes were huge which we always love lol. Service was great, the waiters were attentive and friendly.“

“One of my top 5 favorite place to eat in PDX. The sesame noodles are bright, fresh, and chewy. Served chilled and perfect for summer time. The pork is tender and perfectly seasoned.I have a difficult time finding food that's not too spicy (seems a current PDX trend). They balance it perfectly. I'd more or less given up on enjoying that mouth numbing delightfulness of the Sichuan peppercorn without being blasted with the heat of a million chilies. But they've found the sweet spot. Prices on par with other places in the area. Plus you can enjoy the food in their neighboring establishment, Holy Ghost.I highly recommend paring any noodle dish with the 5min Gin Fizz!“

“I visited this place 4 months ago, in January on a trip from Seattle to Portland. Needless to say it left a profound impact as I am coming back months later to leave a review after recommending it to countless friends. Being able to eat such a high quality meal, in a low-lit yet dazzling ambiance, is truly what makes life worth living. Go for dinner, enjoy spectacular cocktails, & DO NOT miss the chinese sashimi or the black pepper beef. Cannot wait to return. 10/10 truly a memorable meal.“

“Wandered in about 30 minutes before closing (sorry guys!!!) but the food, service and overall vibe of the place was amazing. It was probably my favourite meal of the trip, and we took it back to our airbnb around the corner (spread pictured). I'll definitely visit again in August!“

“Very tasty vegetarian Chinese food.Make sure you plan ahead when coming here. They often take 45-60 minutes but the food is good and many options can be make gluten free.They have a big menu with pictures and symbols for dietary options, which makes it easy to pick.We've had their chow mein a few times (10yo's fave), Singapore noodles, & Buddhist delight chow fun and have enjoyed all.Vegetarian options: Fully vegetarian with vegan options.Dietary restrictions: In addition to vegetarian/ vegan options some dishes can be made gluten free too.Parking: Street parking only and sometimes you have to park a few blocks away“

“Craving something a little adventurous tonight, decided to see what the hype was about. Totally efficient ordering and pickup. Sooooo delicious - wish I had ordered MANY orders of the dumplings. Next time! Every bite a new taste sensation. This is why we ❤️ restaurants!“

“Small, well-thought out menu, with several amazing vegan options! Great tea selection, and the owner will help you decide based on the mood you’re after. I’ve been here several times since they’ve opened, it’s quite the sanctuary - you can’t go wrong! Thank you!“

“The food was delicious! I never say that about restaurants, but I want everyone to know about Ruk Diew Cafe! the food was fresh ND so good. the coconut prawns were tender and flavorful, the fried tofu was crispy and the sauce yummy. I think I had green mango in a lovely sauce with red peppers. I am a happy diner.“

“Stopped in for a quick lunch and I’m so glad I did! I got the Mongolian Beef Noodle plate and the portion was very generous, the noodles were amazing, beef was tender and the flavor was great. Their chili oil is a bonus I recommend for those who like extra spice and flavor.“

“Stretch the Noodle is located in the Midtown Beer Garden, which is a cute little oasis close in on the west side. I ordered the Chao Mian with tofu extra spicy. It is so yummy and the portion is extremely generous. Can’t wait to revisit and take people here!!! (the drink in the picture is from the bar cart located in the center of the garden)“

“I love this place. Both locations are outstanding. No frills. Very chill. Very informative and helpful staff working. The soup dumplings and cold noodles are endlessly crave-able. Love frequently visiting hereDietary restrictions: Many vegetarian options available hereWheelchair accessibility: Easy building to access for ADA“

“Super stoked to have a solid Chinese takeout style spot so close to me. The lunch special was a great price and the portions were perfect. The food was quality. I’m a sucker for crispy beef and was super pleased with my order.Crab puffs was killer as well“

“The guy behind the counter forgot to pack my rice in the to-go bag the other day and ran out into the parking to flag me down to give it to me. I feel like a lot of places today wouldn’t even bother.The service is great and the food is quite good. I’ve never had a bad experience from this restaurant.“

“I started off my Saturday with a great meal with a good friend. We had a reservation for a distillery tour and we wanted to make sure we had a good base for the day ahead.Overall our experience was great. The staff was really nice and the food came out quickly.The ramen was pretty good, I’d say maybe a 7. The Fried Chx Rice bowl definitely hit the spot as well as the buns.“

“My favorite Chinese restaurant in PDX. Great variety of menu items and everyone I've tried has been terrific. The hot pot is not to be missed. Had the beef one most recently and it was delicious and pretty spicy hot! Dumplings were great too. Has the atmosphere of a busy Asian restaurant. Not glitzy but clean and friendly. Highly recommend. And, you can at Yelp to remind you when to join waitlist so you get seated quickly.“

“Shockingly good. Like, I am so glad I happened to wander in! It's a Chipotle- or Mongolian BBQ-type setup where you select your ingredients and they are prepared for you into japchae stir fry or stew. But it is executed really well with amazing flavors and truly interesting items to select from. I got lotus root in my stir fry, there are a couple different mushrooms to select from there are proteins like shrimp and lamb and others, several types of greens and even the cabbage is available in full leaf or shredded format. You can really make this dish your own. I will say that even the number one is a fair amount of heat. But I'm telling you, the even with my nose running I was looking forward to every fork full.I really don't care about atmosphere so I just default gave it four stars. But the food and the service really deserve five stars.“

“Beijing House offers a delightful dining experience with its authentic flavors, affordable prices, and generous portions.The food is packed with traditional Chinese tastes, delivering an authentic culinary journey for patrons. With reasonable pricing, it ensures that enjoying delicious meals doesn't break the bank. Additionally, the ample portion sizes cater to hearty appetites, leaving diners fully satisfied.Overall, Beijing House stands out as a great spot to indulge in delicious Chinese cuisine without compromising on taste, value, or atmosphere.“

“This place is seriously my favorite restaurant in Portland, if not anywhere. The orange veggie chicken is my go to, and the shrimp is also amazing. I've been a vegetarian for 13 years and very rarely have I found veggie Chinese food that isn't tofu. The options here are mindblowing.“

“My best friend got the crab bag boil... I got chicken lo mein and I'm in love!! I don't have alot of great Asian noodle place I like so when I can have asain I go here.Vegetarian options: U can swap meat for veggies in noodles and rice dishesParking: Lots of spots to park in front of restaurant, across the lot, and towards the side and back of the restaurant“

“Din Tai Fung in Bellevue and Seattle are two of my favorite restaurants. The Portland location is much more elegant inside but offers similarly impressive food and service. Note that the mall it's inside of is small but beautiful and has plenty of security to prevent crime. Highly recommended.“

“Eager to celebrate the Chinese New Year, my friend and I were craving Chinese food and decided to give Warsugai a try. I'm glad we did! The restaurant is lovely with mint tiles surrounding the bar, a waving kitty on the wall, and plants around the perimeter. The door was opened for us as we entered, and we were seated quickly. Since we wanted to be adventurous and try multiple items on the menu, my friend and I decided to order the Pu Pu Platter. Not really a platter though, our food came out individually and took up the majority of our table. Ours came with the Silken Ota Tofu, Noble House Pork Potstickers, Dungeness Crab Long Rangoon, BBQ Pork Coppa, Sizzling Black Pepper Beef Short Ribs, Taishan Cauliflower, and Warsugai. Everything was flavorful and delicious, so it was hard to pick favorite items. Although I'm not usually a fan of tofu, I enjoyed the differing textures of the soft tofu and crispy potato and scallions. The crab rangoon was amazing! No imitation crab here...Fresh crab rolled up in a spring roll fashion and served with a chili sauce. Yum! We also enjoyed the bbq pork coppa which came with a dollop of mustard which complimented the pork nicely. Finally, the Warsugai itself was delicious. Lightly fried chicken which was not overly heavy or greasy topped with almond gravy and almond slivers on a bed of shredded lettuce. So good! Your server will check you out at your table which is convenient, but also a little awkward since he or she will be in front of you when the machine prompts for a tip and a rating of your meal and service. This was not a deterrent since everything was wonderful. Hoping they will add a dessert item or two to the menu someday. We loved our experience at Warsugai and look forward to elevated Chinese food again soon!“

“I called to place an order at 7:19, and they close at 7:30, and they happily took my order! When I went to pick up, they were just finishing it up. All the food was perfect! I ordered the Mapo Tofu extra hot, and then she even warned me when she gave me the food that it is hot, and I was! She even brought the food to my car! I highly recommend this place! They even gave us extra appetizers!“

“I'm so glad my husband and I stumbled upon this mom and pop restaurant. I was craving for wonton soup and saw this place on the way home and decided to try and have early dinner here. The place is small with few tables but it's very clean and a nice friendly staff greet us by the door. We ordered wonton and dumpling soup, pork BBQ steam bun, pork roast and pork BBQ combination rice plate, roast duck and beef brisket combination dry noodles. The food reminded me of my father's cooking, since he passed away I've been missing him so much and these food just reminds me of him. The food we ordered tasted like a home cooked meal. My father was a great cook and his love language was cooking for his family and the food here reminds me of him, like a warm hug. Thank you for this experience, the food here not only feed my hunger but also feed my heart. I will definitely return here. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for an authentic Chinese BBQ and noodle place.“

“Wow ! Portland is really stepping up their game when it comes to Chinese food!!! I had never tried it, but these traditional Chinese baozi were so juicy, spiced to perfection, delicious, and full of meat and the Jia Zhang mian were just like they were in Beijing. I ordered delivery and don't know if they have dine in. I will go back again soon! They also have frozen baozi and jiazi to boil or steam at home! Can't wait to order through their menu!“

“My favorite kung pao chicken meal in all of Portland. Egg Flour soup is also delicious! You get a TON of food too! Enough for multiple meals. The couple who works this food truck are really nice and kind. Very hard working too! Sometimes it takes awhile but it's all fresh to order. They also have lunch specials that are a fantastic option for lunchtime! I've been a few times and taken friends here when in town.“

“Excellent. Sweet and sour chicken, chow mien, general tso chicken. One of the best I’ve ever had at a neighborhood Chinese restaurant. We ordered delivery and it came hot and packaged well. I’ve had Chinese in Seattle, Portland, and Paris. This one ranks highest for me.Nice work! Glad you’re in the hood!“

“The food here is incredible, we liked everything we ordered! The gentleman working hooked us up for sure and everything was fresh and tasty. We could’ve ordered one thing for two people because the portions were so big. Would definitely recommend!(To the person who complained about no crab in the wontons… there’s no crab listed anywhere on the menu and it’s very clearly marked as Cream Cheese Rangoons. They’re super good and you get 8 for $7 which is such a good deal, so no reason to complain there)“

“The boiled liver kidney and tripe was very good - tender with savory sauce. And there’s lots of veggie underneath too.The congee is really savory - although I wouldn’t order the black chicken congee again, it’s weird to have chicken pieces in it.The wonton noodle was ok - not much flavor but lots of noodles.“

“Never disappoints! Love their napa cold slaw salad that comes with the buns, always crunchy and yummy. Miso pork belly bun is so freakin good I keep coming back for MORE! The bun itself is so fluffy and most likely the best steamed bun you can find in town!“

“We tried BHP bc Hot Pot City was closed. Oh my. What a treat! If, like me, you are heartbroken that HPC closed, BHP has been waiting for you. Instead of AYCE, they bring out a mass of food. Plenty of beef and beautifully marbled pork. There was a basket of cabbage and bok choy. A tray w tofu, clear noodles, enoki mushrooms, meatballs and tofu sheets. Never had them before and they were quite tasty. And, the handmade noodles!! We had the split half spicy, half regular broth. My brother eats chile peppers whole. He could handle the spicy. I love spicy but next time I will go regular and dip in chile oil. The broth is very tasty even before you start cooking. I wish I saved room to drink it all, but we were stuffed. You could easily feed three and enjoy potsticker and more veggies. We will definitely be back!!Parking: BHP is setback from the street, in the back of the parking lot.i had a navigator who directed me. I would have passed it.“

“The location is not very good. There are too many homeless people, really.Ordered the pickled bullfrog.Eggplant with preserved pepper and eggplant: not very authentic, mashed and served on a ceramic plate.Dry pot fat intestine: The fat intestine is crispy.The three dishes tasted pretty good, but they were uncomfortable to eat. I also love spicy food, but I don’t know why I feel uncomfortable eating the spicy dishes here, and my stomach and intestines are also uncomfortable. After eating a little, I don’t want to eat anymore.“

“Great little chinese restaurant with a good menu selection. The lunch portions are good sized, and the fortune cookies are not stale. Best egg foo young I've had in awhile, good gravy. The sweet and sour sauce wasn't over sweetened and the batter was not over fried and extra crunchy. We'll be coming back for sure.“

“Very tasty Chinese dine-in and takeout. I particularly enjoy the Mongolian Beef, Kung Pao Shrimp, and Chicken Almond Subgum. Prompt and friendly service, and a very unusual mint & mauve color scheme.Vegetarian options: Tofu dishes.Parking: 20-30 spaces. I always find a space.“

“The food is really good if you're craving traditional Chinese breakfast/brunch dishes. It's small, and thankfully the servers and menu are multi lingual (English, Cantonese, and Vietnamese). They're nice and give you your space after taking your order.“

“Great food and super fast!! Menu isn't super big but has all of the classics, we tried their xiao long bao which was super hot and tasty, snow pea vegetable which was fragrant with garlic and spice, steamed buns which were great (it comes with 6 so we took some home and had them later which was great), and jian bing which were super flavorful. They only have coke, sprite, Fanta, a couple of beers, and tea available and we saw a few people bring their boba in to pair with their meal ^_^ can't wait to try their beef noodle soup, pot stickers, and youtiao!!“

“Food: Best place for Hu Tieu in Portland! Both the dry and soup version is delicious depending on what you're in the mood for that day. I also love the amount of greens they put into the dry version. They also don't skimp on the meat!“

“Best bao zi and Xiao long bao I have had. Everything that I have tried off the menu I would order again. My family and I love to eat here every few weeks, the staff is always nso nice. The beef scallion pancake and fried rice noodles are great.“

“I don’t eat at Chinese restaurants much anymore. Used to be a big fan, but most are greasy and use sub standard ingredients. I met some friends at Ling Garden, as they recommended it, and was very pleasantly surprised. Very friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, good jasmine tea and the General Tso’s chicken was perfect. Crunchy coating,moist and tender chicken, smoky, spicy sauce, and I did not feel sick after licking my plate clean. Highly recommend.“

“Best chow fun in town. Can't get fresher noodles anywhere because they supply most of the Chinese restaurants and stores in town with their noodles. Their fried rice is really good, too. They also make their own tofu, both fresh and fried. Their rice noodle rolls are good, too. just have to get their early in the day because they sell out fast. The owners are some of the nicest people and work extremely hard. Love giving them my business.“

“Still one of the best values for lunch downtown. Good portions and everything I have had over the years has been delicious. Favorites of mine would be asparagus chicken and mushrooms chicken.Only downsides is one man show cooked to order so can be slow when busy, still in a part of town that need some clean up and cart itself is not pretty so easy to overlook.“

“This a dim sum banquet hall. There isn't really any atmosphere or service to speak of. It's just all about the food. The place is huge and full of gigantic tables. If you came here with 2 people or 20 people, they would seat you immediately. Best to come with more people so you can taste everything.They roll over carts full of delicious dim sum, and you just point to whatever you want. Everything is very tasty, and each dish is only a few dollars.Get the cucumbers!“

“Great spot for karaoke and get togethers! I really liked the layout of the building as well! There is a lower dining area and bar with a spot towards the front for karaoke, including a designated DJ alcove. Further in is a raised level area with two pool tables (.50 per game) that acts as a lounge area, featuring long couches and side tables, along with a few smaller tables for snacks and shareable dishes. Through the back is a long outdoor patio; this area has picnic tables with ashtrays, ideal for smokers or folks who need to step away from the crowd for a moment or two. It is fenced and looks out onto sandy Blvd, so there is some traffic noise, but not a ton (especially later in the evening).“

“The eggplant melted in my mouth. I recommend the scallops, oysters, scallions, chicken hearts and cauliflower. I will have to go back to try it all. The flavors were fantastic! Friends live in the neighborhood and they say they have been going once a week.“

“First visit today. Throwback pricing, truly. I don't know how it works but they are charging what I would have expected to pay ten years ago. It was a great value. No, it isn't pretty outside. That does not matter. I can't believe somebody left a bad review based on that, while never having eaten here. It was plenty comfortable and the service was fast and friendly enough. The food was very good. We will be back.“

“I have never been to this place in all my life. But today I was at the seafood store next door to this restaurant and I was hungry, so my dad and I decided to check out this place. Our waitress gave us a nice table, and we ordered our food. It came surprisingly quickly and it was delicious. We couldn't finish all the food, so we took it home.In all, this was perfect experience. Customer service was exelent, and the exterior is majestic. It is like you have been transported to another country for a little time if you life.I recommend that everyone come to this restaurant. Trust me, you will not regret it.“

“Amazing food truck behind the PSU library that produces great Chinese food, large portions, and cheap prices. The owner, Susan, is there everyday working hard and yet she maintains an incredible friendliness and even seems to remember many customers by name“

“We had lunch here. Very clean restaurant with clean bathroom. Their roast pork and duck seemed to be very popular. Lots of take-outs for those items. Roast duck sold out by the time we finished lunch. Right amount of salt in their food. We will definitely return in the future.“
