33 Best Asian Restaurants in Portland

“Beautiful lunch starting with shared Tao Huu Tod (fried tofu with mushroom powder). The Yum Pak kale salad with shrimp is a delicious combination of sweet, savory, crunchy, chewy. Attentive professional service. The music is moderately loud in this snug space making conversation a little challenging when the restaurant is full.“

“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 place has become one of my favorite restaurants in town. it's a 10/10 in the food department and the drinks are cheap. The flavors that they are cooking up in here are really bright herbal flavors combined with savory perfectly. It's also just a less common flavor profile among our more common Asian restaurants in town. You gotta get down here.“

“I had lunch here on a business trip and was pleasantly surprised by the food and how sweet the servers were. I got the lunch special Pad See Mao with chicken (medium spice) and a Thai iced tea. The spice level was a bit hot for a medium, but perfect for me. If you like really spicy food, this place will deliver the heat! The tea was perfectly sweetened, creamy and not too strong of a tea flavor. The ladies taking orders and serving food were very kind and polite, greeting people happily and sending guests off with a smile as well. The place was busy during lunch but they are efficient in cleaning tables and getting people sat and served. The only thing that would make the atmosphere better would be better music :) (totally a personal issue tho!!) Although there is lots of Thai food to choose from in Portland, I’d recommend this spot in the Pearl District for lunch 😋“

“Wonderful spot for a late night bite! Came here with a friend after being out seeing music, we got bah mi to eat in and then I also got a vegetable and rice dish to take home. We're both vegetarian; there's a decent selection and what we had was all super delicious. The sweet potato fries that come with the sandwich were some of the best I've ever had (and I'm picky about my sweet potato fries).

Service was friendly, prompt, and accommodating. Environment is nice but still comfortable and casual enough to be at ease. There's 4 TVs playing different things, felt a bit brain rot over stimulation-u, but they were all muted so it wasn't intrusive.

Great place!“

“Their menu is really unique, imo, and they've added quite a few things since I was here last. The pork or caramelized fennel Ramen are my go-tos, and we tried the pot stickers, new on the menu for me, my new favorite! The curry rice bowl is great too. There's so much more! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Well i haven't tried the desserts yet, but c'mon, house-made twinkies with butterscotch cream? YUM!“

“I got the number 4 it was excellent and you get to pick your spice level even better I got spicy you have the option of medium, mild, spicy and one more extra or super hot I wish I would have gone spicier honestly very delicious and I will be back to try the other dishes 10/10 worth it money well spent nice and filling“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Let's try this restaurant.“

“Love this place👌🏼exceptional Thai food😋“

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

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

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

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

“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. 💖💖💖“

“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.“

“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.“
