32 Best Asian Restaurants in Portland

“This place nails it every time. Service is friendly and efficient. Cocktails are creative and delicious, as you’d expect from a Ninsom operation, his spots always have a great bar setup. Photo here of the prawn curry. Damn was that amazing! Also got the tom yum noodles which ruled.“

“I was in food heaven. I had the eggplant which is smothered in fresh garlic, absolutey delicious, chives, and a pig foot. Everything was incredibly delicious. They really know how to cook here. And I loved the environment and the personnel, too.“

“This was a really nice spot. It had a really good layout, a big bay door entry, clean, and a beautiful view of the walking bridge. The service was quick and prompt, and their plating was phenomenal. (FLOWERS ON MY PLATE, AND DRINK?! YESSSSS) The food wasn't as spicy as I was hoping. But they brought over spices to bring it up to my insane level of spice. Not enough spice is a me problem, not them. I will be coming back!“

“Gotta call ahead and they'll bring it to the curb.

Want to update this for their Nacho Week offering...

IT WAS EXCELLENT. Made with their wanton chips, instead of tortillas and LOADS of pork pieces and a nice cheese sauce. An excellent offering at only $10. A fun change from the regular chicken steam buns and spicy won tons that we usually get and enjoy.“

“Delicious handmade noodles from a food truck? Yes, please! The flavors are fantastic and the noodles are soooo good. Just make sure you ask about spiciness if that is an issue for you because when they make something spicy, they mean it! I absolutely recommend the chao mian in mild and the pork dumplings.“

“Nice place to go for a later night snack. I ordered the crispy rolls and the chive cakes, yummy.
The service was excellent and the bartender was friendly and accommodating and made me a custom non-alcoholic beverage while I waited for my food:)“

“Really cute place. Was excited to try it. You order at a counter and then get your food yourself with a buzzer so keep that in mind for if you decide to tip since you pay first! You also have to bus your own table so surprised it asked for a tip honestly. 🤷‍♀️ Staff was friendly enough, but yeah no service to speak of even though the restaurant is pretty big. Decent and vegetarian options. Overall it felt pricey for what we got (I got a noodle dish and it was 99% noodles with no real veggies to speak of)

Husbands dish was better. It was all okay. Not sure if I'd be back but was cool to try something a little different.“

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

“We were looking for this place, but it is shared with another restaurant name Sweet Basil, which serves meat. I think there might be three restaurant names. There is a separate menu for each restaurant name. Passing by the kitchen, we thought that space looked clean. "You can order from either menu. Any item on the meat version can be made vegan." We just ordered from the BVK menu. It was a hot day and we were under the shade of a grape vine pergola where it was cool. Cloth napkins and tablecloth. Food was very good with lots of vegetables. The white rice came in the form of a large star with a layer of delicious black rice on top.“

“Love this place👌🏼exceptional Thai food😋“

“The dining experience was exceptionally positive. The staff demonstrated attentive service, although the table became somewhat crowded with the abundance of dishes, potentially due to our over ordering. (really wanted to try the whole menu including dessert!)

The noodle plate and soup dumplings were particularly memorable. While we were unable to secure the reserved window-side seating with the view of the riverside due to our late arrival, the restaurant's ambiance was captivating regardless of the seating location. The dishes were well-prepared, flavorful, and enhanced by a touch of soy sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and confidently recommend this spot to those seeking authentic and flavorful Chinese cuisine.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“Say YES to this Yes Restaurant. We always get their Veg Head sushi, which is vegan with mango in it, and oh my goodness, it is delicious. I love it. We used to go to different restaurant for their green machine, but since this place is so close to our home, yes, has become our once a month go-to spot. And their service and food are on par and delicious every single time. Thank you Yes for your delicious food and service“

“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 came here with my parents and were blown away!!

Don’t be mislead by the name, they have so much more than wings. Everything was vibrant and full of flavor, and we can’t wait to come back to try more. They mentioned they have a new menu and it did not disappoint.

Our favorites:
- Nem Kao- huge portion and so bright
- Street Corn- sooo flavorful
- Fried Trout- a must order!
- Chicharrones- crispy and light
- Yuzu beignets- served warm and the sauce!
- Carrots- the most amazing fish sauce caramel

We got a great corner booth, wonderful attentive service and it was so reasonably priced for a delicious meal with fresh food. We’ve already texted friends to go there immediately.“

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

“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“

“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 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.!“

“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!“

“Let's try this restaurant.“

“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.“

“Best takeout American-style Chinese restaurant in Portland. We used to live in Forest Heights and think this is probably what we miss most about it. We drive 15 mins from SW Portland to get it now and it’s worth the drive. General Tso chicken, chow mein and BBQ pork fried rice are our go-to’s.“

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

“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. 💖💖💖“

“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.“
