40 Best Asian Restaurants near Happy Valley

“This little gem, not easily found on Google, to Google's fault, is amazing location with a unique type of katsu I had not tried before, hand breaded there when ordered. WOW!! Great place to sit and eat without loads of traffic right in your face. I highly recommend! :)“

“From the moment I walked in, the warm atmosphere instantly put me at ease. It felt like more than just a meal—it was genuinely comforting.
The teriyaki chicken we had was incredibly tender, and the sauce had a rich, deep flavor that really stood out. You can tell there’s real care put into every dish, which made the whole experience even more memorable.
I truly hope this place continues to thrive for a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it!“

“In town visiting, this was a stumble upon. lucky find. large portions, friendly and great flavors.“

“Food tasted very fresh and the flavors were wonderful. They have a dispenser on the tables with mixed spices (not spicy), and one with spicy contents. I used the non-spicy powder on my Chow Mein and I was loving the flavor combinations. They also used this powder on our king oyster mushroom BBQ skewers. I think what stood out most to me was the menu variety. I admittedly couldn’t order most items because of dietary restrictions and the large amount of spicy foods, but I still love to see so many uncommon options.“

“I will die on the hill that Cully Central is one of the best food spots in Portland and easily in my top 5, possibly top 3! I see other reviews say it's too salty- I love salty/savory so if you don't, keep that in mind. The Nam Khao is my favorite and I genuinely feel sad whenever I finish it because there isn't more. Second favorite is the Tom Yum. Amazing on a cold and rainy day. Lao sausage- amazing. Wings- delicious. Everything I've tried has been flav-or-ful. Anytime someone asks me where they should eat in town, I say Cully Central. In fact, I'm craving some now!“

“Easily the best poke bowl I’ve ever had. So flavorful and has some flavor combinations that I don’t usually come across with poke bowls. The perfect mix of fresh and savory! Got the smoked tofu and loved the seasoning. Bigger portions than expected too. Will definitely be back!“

“Honestly one of the best teriyaki spots I’ve tried. The portions are super generous and the chicken is perfectly cooked—juicy, flavorful, and slightly charred in the best way. The teriyaki sauce is amazing too, not overly sweet and packed with flavor.

The rice and salad were fresh, and everything tasted really well balanced. You can tell they care about the quality of the food.

I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re craving good teriyaki.

(The Hot & Spicy is top notch. So flavorful with the perfect amount of heat. Highly recommend!)“

“My husband and I wanted to venture out and check out a new sushi spot. We tend to always visit the same place in Vancouver and chose to try something in Portland. I came across this restaurant on Yelp and saw it had great reviews so we thought we’d make our way out. It’s located off of 122nd and it’s next to a little corner store market. Very easy to miss and parking lot is very small. We were the only ones in there when we walked in. An Asian male greeted us right away and allowed us to pick any table to sit at. He brought over waters and played and utensils while we looked over the menu. There was quite a bit of options for the sushi and bento dishes, as well as the other Chinese food options. We order chicken gyoza, katsu chicken (which came with miso soup), 2 different sushi rolls and the chicken lo mein. Everything tasted fresh and the food items were all delicious. My husband loved all the dishes and rated everything a 5-star. The service was great and the restaurant was small and clean. We will definitely be back to try other dishes.“

“Had the yakisoba, the dumplings and the Kana moo Krob. Everything was full of flavor, well balanced, and filling. Plates were cleared and the staff was awesome. Honestly such a great place, would recommend for a low key date with good, quality food.“

“Our server, Jenny, was so awesome!! We will definitely be back!! We drove down from Seattle, and wanted some yummy food - great choice!“

“I love me some teriyaki bowl, and because I am on the road all day with my job, I get the opportunity to try several different restaurants on a monthly basis. This is one of the best, and Jonathan and his team make fantastic food and have created a very friendly environment. I will definitely be returning.“

“Just had my first visit here and it was so good. The vegan pork belly is something I would have never ordered, but so glad my daughter did because it was amazing!! I got the fried rice which was also really good, and had asked them to add broccoli. Most places just toss a couple pieces on top when you make this request, but Van Hanh put a ton of perfect bite sized broccoli all through my fried rice. Perfect, and much appreciated by this broccoli lover. We will definitely be back!“

“This place is the perfect terekai place to go to. The food is wonderfull and the staff is incredibly pleasant. They call me by name and they greet regulars with their name also. Super respectfully and I will defenently be coming back any chance I get!“

“We recently ordered catering from Dara Thai Restaurant, and the experience exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, their team was professional, organized, and easy to work with.

The food arrived right on time and was delivered in warming containers, which kept everything hot and fresh until it was ready to be served. We also greatly appreciated their attention to our allergy concerns—they carefully followed all of our requests, giving us peace of mind. On top of that, they generously included plenty of condiments and extras for our guests.

We ordered Pad Thai, Yakisoba noodles, teriyaki chicken, fried rice, egg rolls, curry puffs, and chicken wings. Every dish was delicious, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. One item that received especially rave reviews was the mango sticky rice. People kept coming back for it and asking where it was from—it was absolutely amazing!

We are very grateful for the excellent service and outstanding food. Dara Thai helped make our event a success, and we would highly recommend them for anyone looking for high-quality catering.“

“The food is delicious and clean — highly recommended to try!“

“This place is our go-to spot for sushi.
Reliably good food and the owners are so kind and remember our usual order, customized for picky kids.
We’ve ordered to go and it’s great, order to eat at Arlington taphouse, and it’s even better! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I ordered the Veggie Heaven sushi burrito (inari age, pickled daikon, carrot, cucumber, purple cabbage, romaine hearts, and avocado) without tamago (egg) so it would be vegan. It was served with ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce, but was already flavorful due to the sweet inari. Note: Eel sauce does not contain eel.“

“Crews are very kind and caring for customers. Owner lady is a very helpful and generous. Foods are good. We love sushi dishes. Dragon roll is a little bit spicy but so delicious and tasty. My kids love to eat ramen noodles, I ordered a General Tao Chicken and Lo mein noodles those were great and so yummy.!“

“Just arrived in Portland and this was my first meal here. It was fantastic. The soup dumplings were incredible. Possibly my new favourite food. The Dan Dan Noodles were a bit spicier than expected but still yummy. I went with a large group and they handled that really well.“

“I really like this place.

Good food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere with all the plants.

Had the Bulgogi Beef Plate upon suggestion and did not disappoint.

Great job all around!“

“Thank you Asian Kitchen for a fantastic take out dinner last night! We ordered the drunken noodles and the bento box (A). SO flavorful! This was our first time and will definitely be back!“

“I just tried this place for the first time today and was not disappointed! I was really craving teriyaki and scanned some places nearby. I was really grateful this place popped up because it is now one of my favorite places to eat. The service was excellent. The lovely lady answered all of our questions kindly and the whole place was clean and looked really pretty in the late afternoon sun. They had free egg flower soup for dine-in customers and our order didn’t take long at all to wait for. The food is so delicious I wish I would have bought more so I can have leftovers later :)“

“The food here is delicious. We are vegan, and they have a separate menu that is dedicated to vegan dishes. Granted, I’m sure that these dishes are integrated into the regular menu. Though it’s nice to know without asking questions that they’re vegan.

Not 100% sure what we ordered as we all got plates to share, and got them all with fried tofu. Though they were all delicious. Will definitely go back!“

“Love this place👌🏼exceptional Thai food😋“

“Friendly staff! Great food and quick service! Thank you!“

“Great food, fast service and great atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“great food definitely will be trying again😁💪🏾🔥🔥💚“

“We traveled in out of town and ate at a couple of the restaurants on the main strip in Troutdale, and this was hands down the best. Super chill and upbeat environment, the young man who served us was super kind and attentive to our table. The miso soup here was genuinely one of the best I've ever had, and the quality of the rest of the food was great too. I'm glad I managed to snap a picture for this review before I ate it all!“

“Great conveyor belt sushi place! A little busier than other spots, but we loved the mix of options on the belt (especially the salmon-focused ones). Plus they gave my daughter the chopstick helpers right at the beginning, she was happy as a clam.“

“I’ve tried several sushi spots, I’d say I’m a foodie and try to get a variety of different restaurants a chance and this hands down is the best sushi I’ve had in my 25 years on this earth no exaggeration! I love the Sushi&Maki team and will continue to come here and spend all my money!“

“Delicious food, excellent service and very close to home.“

“Good price, good food. Please be warned that the wait time can be very long as it is only the couple who work there and run the place. They make everything as it is ordered and do not sacrifice taste and authenticity to take shortcuts in order to make it quickly.I feel like I should specify that they do not make spicy versions (as of my last visit) of Pad Thai, so if you're looking for the authentic spicy version of this you will find yourself disappointed.“

“Listen, this is the best place to eat on the planet. My boyfriend showed me this location a few months ago and mentioned that he actually went to Chang’s when it first opened back in 89’ in downtown Portland and has followed it around since. My exact thoughts were, “where have you been my entire life?” We try to eat here at least once a week (sometimes twice) and I honestly can’t get enough (although I can barely go back for seconds most of the time)! You guys rock! EXCELLENT SERVICE! EXCELLENT FOOD! There’s not a single thing negative about this place, PERIOD. 💖💖💖“

“Thai place that's kind of hole in the wall, and it's pretty good. I like to get pad woon sen, the noodles are very delicious. Pineapple fried rice was my previous go to before that, and what is good is that they will substitute brown rice so that's helpful for dietary restrictions. I'm a regular and so occasionally they have surprised me with some small snacks when I get the receipt like a mandarin or a cookie. I liked that :)

Dietary restrictions: Substitute brown rice“

“This is our favorite place. This particular location is extraordinary. I’m not a chain restaurant fan typically , but this location is above and beyond. I’ve stopped at other locations and it’s not comparable. The food is extra flavorful, the staff is deeply kind and accommodating. I highly recommend it. The pho has deep flavor , the potstickers are perfectly crispy, golden brown and stuffed with tasty filling. Even the pickled vegetables are super flavorful and not at all an afterthought. It’s affordable and efficient, the lighting is green and the seating is comfy with plenty of room, booths and nice wooden tables“

“CLEAN RESTAURANT! Wow! I cannot remember seeing a restaurant so spotlessly clean. It's obvious there is a great pride of ownership and care with this restaurant.

And.. The food was wonderful. I had a delicious yellow curry that had just the right amount of spice and flavor. I'm going back next time to try out their Massaman Curry!

Service was also excellent with a very friendly lady. I'm an out of towner, and I could not help but notice how many local folks where coming in eating as well.

A must try,
if you your Thai!“

“The service is very friendly, prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are good, depending on what you order. The manager lady is very kind and personable. I've been there 3 times and will definitely return. They could probably use a few more decorations but it's nice and clean as it is.“

“The staff here is wonderful. It has the hometown feel that I grew up with and love about the Portland area that is not as common as it used to be. I go here for lunch breaks and the service is very fast and always friendly. I always get the teriyaki chicken bowl which is fresh and good. If I decide to play video poker they bring me my food and it's always exactly as I order it.“

“We always enjoy the food at Thai Lemon, whatever we order. Our favorite Thai food place!“

“Everything positive I could say about this place I've already stated in my Dough valley review! Excellent service from the owner, Ping! The sushi is very good and I never feel like I have to wait long for something good to arrive on the belt! Highly recommend for fast and good sushi.“
