35 Best Asian Restaurants in Portland

“We had eaten at Langbaan (their expensive other restaurant), which we tremendously enjoyed as a fine dining experience. We wanted to try Phuket. We were pleased with the quality of service, prices, ambience, and the food. One dish was a bit lacking in flavor, but the other three we had were superb. Definitely worth revisiting.“

“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.“

“Discovered this place by accident and it was such a happy surprise, it was quiet for a Thursday dinner so we got taken care of extra quick. The drink menu was plenty and the one I picked “phuket fantasy” had me at hello. Some of the best Tom yum soup i’ve had in a while and the entrees where generously portioned and the presentation was wonderful, tried two different items, the khao san basil rice with ground pork was delicious. Can’t wait to try different items on the menu,“

“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!“

“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.“

“Went here for dumpling week this year. The special duck dumplings were perfect with the combination of sweet and spicy. The miso twinkie was the perfect sweet treat after the spice of the dumplings. Excited to come back and try more of their food.“

“Wonderful street food and cocktail vibes.... backlit holes in the dark walls give a delightful ambiance to a Short Round visit. Every time we drop in, we make an attempt to try something different, and I have yet to be disappointed. I've somehow missed out on becoming a wing connousieur, but I'm turning into a big fan of the ones here. So far, we haven't gone wrong with whatever drink special they have, any random Thai dish that sounds interesting, and an order of wings. Short Round is quickly becoming a favorite spot when we're looking for something quick and genuinely tasty. Ordering at the counter and taking a number to your table makes service quick and painless.“

“Best (and maybe only) handpulled Chinese noodles in the Portland area. The taste is quite on point with the ones I came to love in Northern China.

The only problem is the close early sometimes and aren't open on weekends. If they were, we'd no doubt have gone countless more times.

The spice level is no joke. I like it spicy, but still feel the heat (wouldn't have it any other way).“

“Very joyful vibes!! Delicious food!!“

“Good food. Great location. Good prices. Worth the visit“

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

“Had the cashew/tofu/broccoli dish with brown rice. It was delicious! I make sure I stop there whenever I'm in Portland. Very friendly staff.“

“We stopped by after an event on a rainy Thursday night. We were quickly seated and attended. The service was great, very friendly and with a smile. Food had clear flavors and was exactly what you’d expect going for some Asian tapas. Highly recommend for bites to share with friends! And thank you for a great customer service!“

“Excellent bento! Quantity is great as well. Oh and the sauce selection is unreal.“

“My spouse and I always stop at Money Bowl when we’re at the PSU farmers market! The food is amazing and so is the service. My spouse has Celiac Disease and has never had any contamination or issues here! Wonderful place!“

“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!“

“I had the bulgogi rice bowl and WOW it was delicious! reasonably priced and nice staff. will definitely go again and highly recommend this place to others!“

“This is one of the absolute best. Portions very much shareable!! Prices are great. It's just funny we always went there to dine in and one time we take out they charged 22 for a seafood tom yum and and substituted some things lol but anywho I paid an extra $6 for some spawns and literally got none lol asked and payed extra for teriyaki chicken got no extra lol just any substitutes or extra u gotta double check.. was not cool lmfaoo“

“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.!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We did takeout so can't speak to dine in experience. Looked like limited seating though there were a lot of plants. Food portions are extremely generous and teriyaki chicken and rice was excellent, not too sauced, salty or sweet. Will try other things next time. Google posts that they close at 8pm, though sign on door says 7pm. Don't play yourself and come late.“

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome!“

“So happy to find reasonable pricing for really good dumplings! This was our first visit; the server was kind, made recommendations, and answered questions well. We ordered an assortment of items, and everything was good, some were amazing. My husband fell in love with the cucumber salad, and brothy bun. The only drawback was noise level; we were in mid day, 3:30ish, and were surprised how the voices carried in the room. Not only did it make the room loud, I felt a little self conscious. Outside of that, I would absolutely recommend a visit for some great food!“

“I've eaten at this location near my home for over a year and a half. They are always accommodating and every time I order either the green beans and chicken or the broccoli chicken I come out satisfied. The only thing I wish they had were larger fountain drinks.“

“Let's try this restaurant.“

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

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

“Love this place👌🏼exceptional Thai food😋“

“Sho is our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. Katsu and his team are awesome.“

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

“We were pleasantly surprised after we took a chance with this adorable restaurant. It's tucked away in a small shopping center off of 82nd in Clackamas.
The service was quick and friendly. They have an extensive Sushi menu, as well as other Japanese offerings like Tempura, Teriyaki, and Ramen. The prices are reasonable for the fare. We arrived at 730 on a Sunday night. By 8PM, they had more than half the tables full. This place was exactly what we wanted. We will be back.“

“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. 💖💖💖“

“Stir-fried veggies with choice of protein was stellar with the large portion size, fresh veggies, barbecue grilled chicken & sauce. It was ready in less than 5 minutes. I didn't even get a chance to sit down before it was ready! I'll be back. While you're in the plaza parking lot, see if VAN can get you in for a pedicure at Miracle Nails and Spa. She's so gentle with me, the scaredy-cat 😂“

“Food is consistently delicious. Highly recommended. But also want to share that they went above and beyond when we had an issue with Door Dash. Though the lost delivery was 100% not their fault, they still remade the food and made sure it got to my door. This very high level of service is commendable! I am a customer for life now. Thank you Khao San.“
