29 Best Soup in Portland

“I had an absolutely exquisite dining experience at L’Orange. The ambiance was inviting, the staff were exceptionally friendly, and the attention to detail was impeccable. The food, which is all locally sourced, was nothing short of incredible, each dish prepared to perfection. I was so impressed and highly recommend this culinary journey to all food lovers!“

“Just had this place for the first time last night and it was awesome. We had the pad thai, pad see ew, fried rice, red curry, and chicken wings. It was all great. The wings were especially good. The curry was a little spicy for the kids, but I loved it. I am glad this place is in the neighborhood, and I'll definitely be going back. I loved the veggies they added to all the dishes.“

“We randomly found this restaurant while running errands and were blown away by the space service, and food. Everything was so fresh and abundant. We got the fresh shrimp spring rolls and lemongrass fried tofu with rice. The presentation was lovely and the spice level was perfect. A solid amount of food for a reasonable price and the staff was so kind. I will definitely return with friends! We were famished so no pictures!“

“Late post, but I still think about the noodles my husband and I had from here and hope one day I can come back to eat this again. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was still a few hours before they closed. Restaurant was filled and when we walked in, the hostess informed us they only had one more bowl of soup available for the day. We had been eating all day so we were ok to share the one bowl seeing that it was also the soup we wanted to try. While we sat and waited, the waitress came by to tell us they had a phone cancellation and asked if we wanted to have the second bowl. We kindly refused. It just happened that they had to turn a woman away since they were sold out for the day, but since we refused the second bowl; the male employee went out to find the lady to see if she wanted to come back for that last bowl of soup for the day. She got her meal and we got ours, all our lucky days! The restaurant only serves certain items each day. We wanted to try the Mi Quang and we were blown away. Flavor was so delicious and rich. We cleared up the entire bowl. My husband and I joked that we should have taken that second bowl because it was so good. We haven't eaten this dish before and now I've been on a lookout to try to find a restaurant that also serves mi quang. Must be rare because I haven't found very many near me that has this soup. I'll be sure to visit again to try other dishes but if I land on a day where there is mi quang again, I'll have to get that one. I tell many friends that this was one of our favorite stops of our trip. So glad we were able to try it.“

“Love love love EVERYTHING about Sushi Mazi. Food, absolutely delicious! My most favorites are classic aged ahi tuna, blue fin tuna top with black garlic, salmon skin appetizer and sushi salad. Will be able to stop in Portland without coming here. I understand why they have so many regulars, the staffs and owners are so warm and wonderful. Recommend trying their wide range of sake. Cheers!“

“First time experience, and it was GREAT! While waiting for our large order to go, I couldn't help but notice how clean the place was. I drive by most every day without thinking to stop, but I won't make that mistake anymore. I will definitely be a repeat customer. The woman who took our order was incredibly nice and helpful. The menu is extensive, and my whole family loved the food. We will be back!“

“First of all, this is not a typical dining experience. They are working very hard to provide a creative, upscale, and authentic Thai food experience that is on another level from what you can get on a regular basis. The flavors are not tailored to an American palate.It is also quite expensive, one of the more expensive restaurants I have eaten at. The food is very good and the experience is unique, but be warned it is extremely expensive. Our bill came to almost 500 dollars for 2 people.I feel like it's also worth noting that some of the food is very spicy. Thai food is spicy, so this is a good thing, but be ready. This is a tasting menu, so you can't really substitute or order other things if you can't eat spicy food.Lastly, I was somewhat disappointed in the wine pairing. The cocktails here are exceptional, though, so next time, I would try those for the money you would spend on the wine pairing. Just my two cents, but if you prefer wine with dinner, get the wine pairing.“

“Went here the other night for the first time in a while, for dinner. I was warmly greeted upon entry and directed to seating. Excellent vibes and nice decor. We ordered the appetizer combo and chicken satay to start. I had the evil jungle noodle medium spicy. It was as delicious as I remember. One of my friends had the tom yum with shrimp and said they were very pleased with it. Good prices for downtown and generous portions. Great service! Definitely recommend this place! Parking can be tricky as it sits on a busy corner of 2 one-way streets, but if you dont mind walking a block or 2, youll be fine.“

“Great pho with better than most cuts of meat. My wife got the pad thai and said she enjoyed it very much. Would recommend to friends. They were also very nice to my 2.5 year old daughter and were considerate enough to bring a small bowl for her to share some of our food with.“

“I like spicey food, but not I hurt you spicey. When we ordered our food, the rating for spicey was mild, medium, or hot. I went with medium. Our waitress was like, you could do a medium +, ".... sounds like a dare Harry."... Ill do it. My chicken pad se ewe cane out great, pnut sauce flavorful, and the drink I has, the whiskey and ginger bits was fantastic.If you like Thai food, hit this place up!“

“I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time as I heard nothing but good things and it's close to work. It's the perfect lunch menu, soups, sandwiches, combo and much more. Vegetarians and meat eaters all have options. I had a craving for their meatball sub after reading how it morphed from a traditional sausage & pepper sandwich. I didn't disappoint, in fact looking forward to trying the rest of the menu.“

“It was my first time here and I would be pleased to visit it the next time due to the great service. I got Bun Bo Hue and the broth was tasty. I love the interior decor related to some Vietnamese culture. The staff was quick and friendly. I highly suggest this wonderful restaurant to “

“this place is absolutely the best pho spot in town. the ambiance, friendly staff, amazing food and beverage options never disappoint. also a bonus that they have a very easy to parking parking lot. hard to find in this part of town at a restaurant“

“Amazing service. Really cute place. I got the white sauce lasagna and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Not only did I have one of the best meals of my life, but they also have wet wipes in the bathroom. For me this was the cherry on top, but it goes to show that they go the extra mile to make customers comfortable. Would absolutely recommend!!“

“The staff is very friendly. From order to table is fast. Never been disappointed with the food. When they're busy they're super busy and the hassle bustle atmosphere adds passively to the experience (in my opinion). Must try. We will always keep coming back (since 2014)!“

“I've been here a couple of times now and will say their food is an awesome quality and I feel a good value for what you get.The first time I tried their roast beef and cheddar melt with loaded potato soup and the second time I got a smash burger with a ridiculously large amount of fries. The people who work there are also super nice and make great recommendations if you are unsure what to get“

“After 3 visits this spot really doesn't disappoint! They self-describe as "thoughtful" and I think that's quite true. Real tortillas on the burritos, amazing mole sauce, multiple veggie/plant-based options that are not just an afterthought, and a full salsa bar. I also enjoyed the horchata. Thank you and keep it up!“

“The food, of course, is the best part. Every sandwich is no small skinny piece that they serve but a nice hearty full and worth every dollar piece of deliciousness. The surf is great. Here in the ambient is pleasing as well and it's just a place you can come to sit down and eat and enjoy yourself on your lunch break, the weekend, anytime, really. I highly recommend coming here and supporting this local business it's small but quaint.“

“My new favorite Vietnamese place in Portland. We got the pork belly noodle bowl and beef banh mi with pho broth on the side. Everything tasted so fresh and was perfectly put together. Good balance of ingredients and amazing flavor. We also received the best customer service I've personally had in years. Thank you Quinn for the recommendations and tea refills! Atmosphere was great as well. We sat at a table out front, got sun on the skin while eating delicious food and people watching. I will definitely be back.“

“Crazy delicious food. Very reasonably priced. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself is upscale with a picturesque bar and friendly service. The food has satisfying portions and packs in a ton of flavor. The noodles of the pad sew ew in particular are bingeworthy with tender cuts of meat and fresh broccoli. My partner enjoys the spiciness of the yellow curry. Variety of dishes on the menu means ordering for groups is a breeze because everyone can find something to enjoy.“

“Delicious, but slow. First, this is an indoor "cart pod" facility and Coco Garden is over off the options. There is a performance venue, and lots of tables. It is like a mall food court, but in a good way. A Thai place inside Zed, they have an extensive set of gluten free options. I got pineapple curry and my husband got pineapple fried rice (see the theme?) I also got Thai ice tea. All tasty and worthwhile. I was sad that the ice tea was made with half and half, rather than coconut milk, but I also didn't ask if I could have a substitute. The only downside was how long the food took. Our party ordered from multiple locations. The others had finished their meal before ours was ready. So, give it a try, just need prepared to wait.“

“Had a nice lunch / early dinner at the place. Took a while before we found it, my friend can’t recall the name of the place to google it.? anyways, we were famished by the time we got there. Food was great and delicious. Did not wait long for the food to arrive. Great place, will be going back for sure!“

“Great food truck! My friend and I got a Nutella and banana sweet crepe. They were very accommodating with allergies, we ended up getting a vegan crepe instead of the regular. We will be going back soon and trying the other items on the menu!“

“They were out of a lot of to-go cold soup, but the people were nice, and the food was delicious. I even bought an extra sandwich to go! Don't skip out on the cookies they're soft, and they really hit the spot for that post-meal sweets craving. We got a hot turkey sandwich (my husband LOVED this - a combo of the cheese pull and onions), steak sandwich, mac n cheese, shortbread cookie (my fave), double chocolate cookie (husband's fave), and a cute elephant shaped shortbread cookie.The service was friendly and welcoming, and I would go again“

“The fried chicken with sticky rice and sauce is special. Really delicious. I loved that you get real plates when you eat at the cart! Fried rice was delicious. Skip the Pad Kee Mao. Fast and friendly service. Bring back the coconut water!Kid-friendliness: Clean and open area for my toddler to explore. Spice level of food was also good for him without any modifications.“

“Nice atmosphere with good views of the river and fast service despite it being fairly busy. The soup dumplings were good, not the best I've ever had, but so far the best I've had in Portland. Oh, and the cucumber salad is the bomb!“

“Fabulous deli in the middle of a great neighborhood --with parking! Kind of like a Portland Dean and Deluca, but not so fancy. You can get eggs, bagels, pizza soup, sandwich, salad--anything you can imagine. Seating is casual. You can eat and then spend more money in the back half where there's lots of lovely gifts and high-end food items.“

“Farmhouse kitchen, Thai cuisine, is likely the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten. The staff was very friendly, they delivered our food quickly and checked on us throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed. The presentation was fantastic and it was all I could do not to follow the waitress around and photograph all of the food that she was delivered to the other tables. I can’t wait to visit again! 10/10 rating!“

“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.“
