28 Tigers is a must try. We sampled a few different dishes and every single one was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was on point. We will definitely be back. The presentation of each dish was thoughtful and everything came out fresh and hot. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they create. This place is perfect for date night or a night out with friends.

Small indoor dining space, nice tables outside. Very friendly staff. Really cool menu, lots of options for meat eaters, vegan, vegetarian. Like others, we felt the food was way too salty. Loved the intense spice levels, but damn - this food is the saltiest in Portland. Recommend getting extra rice, so you can add to your meal to reduce the saltiness.

First time eating here (to go).. had the pork lo mein and spring roll. So far, the tastiest asian food we've had around our area. 100% will come back. Seating looks limited but you can eat in the bar next door according to Holy Ghost website. Same with the pizza place. Fun vibes. Go.

We went to 28 Tigers, which is located on the same lot as Holy Ghost and Pan Con Queso. All three share a restroom in the back, and according to the Holy Ghost website, they don’t serve much food themselves but encourage customers to order delivery from either 28 Tigers or Pan Con Queso. This suggests that the businesses may be related, or at least closely coordinated.
The interior of 28 Tigers is compact but thoughtfully arranged. There are two counter seating areas—three seats by the left-hand window as you enter, and three more directly ahead. In addition, there’s a large communal table along the left wall that can seat around 8–10 people.
This is a fast-casual setup: you choose your food from the menu and place your order at the counter. Although the space is small, it’s clean, stylish, and has a cheerful, energetic vibe. The staff were clearly preparing for a busy evening, but they were upbeat, smiling, and working together with great energy. The overall atmosphere was very warm and welcoming.
We ordered the Sesame Noodles ($14 + $5 for ginger poached chicken), Dan Dan Noodles ($18), Garlic Chive Dumpling ($13), Char Siu Pork Bao ($14), and a pot of Jasmine Tea ($4).
The sesame noodles were delicious—highly recommend adding the chicken if you eat meat. It was like a soft, tender version of bang bang chicken. The Dan Dan noodles were generously topped with seasoned ground meat; the flavor was bold, and I personally thought a few fresh vegetables (like the cucumber in the sesame noodles) could help balance the richness.
The Char Siu Pork Bao were generously stuffed with tender, well-marinated pork, and very satisfying. The dumplings also had a flavorful, densely packed filling that made them very hearty. Overall, everything we tried was delicious and satisfying.
If I had to mention one downside, it would be the limited seating due to the small space. But aside from that, the food was excellent across the board, and I would happily return. It’s also a great idea to grab a drink at Holy Ghost next door and enjoy food from 28 Tigers while you're there.😊✨

I mean…. did this place knock our socks off? Absolutely. Was it phenomenal in every sense of the word? 100% yes. Are we still dreaming about how insanely delicious the green beans were even though we’re so full we can’t breathe? F*ck yeah.
We’re currently planning our return and are fully prepared to order one of everything on the menu and maybe even move in if they’ll allow it. Shout out to the owner and the amazing team for creating an experience we’ll be raving about to everyone we know. Thank you!
I tried the pork pot stickers ($13) and a noodle bowl ($18). Very meh, very small portions for the price. 4 tiny pot stickers for $15.50 with tip. Honestly, I’ve had frozen ones from Safeway that were better.
Easy online ordering, when I showed up early and gave my name they rushed my order. When I went to wait at the bar next door, they brought it to me at the bar. This staff is amazing and the food is wonderful and the interior is snug but such a good vibe.

Idk, maybe we just got unlucky, but 4/4 off dishes means I have to warn future customers. I love traditional Chinese food, and this was the worst I’ve ever had.
We got Pork Bao, Dan Dan, String Beans, and a fried chicken plate. The Dan Dan was easily the worst; super strong but off tasting. The string beans were way over seasoned, but at least it was a better flavor. The chicken was over seasoned and under-salted. The pork bao was kinda fine, but it was mostly cucumber with a comically small amount of pork.
