34 Best Asian Restaurants in Portland

“Everything taste good, and Mhee Klug on the lunch menu was the highlights! Bote that the lunch menu is smaller than dinner. Out door seating was great for lunch time in May, the indoor had strong kitchen fume smell although decoration was cute.“

“We were looking for late night ears after a concert on a weekday. They were open until midnight, that was all we needed to know. We ordered chicken fried rice, cucumber salad, corn, shrimp skewers, pork belly skewers and the bacon and enoki mushroom skewers. The spice blend on the table (not the spicy one) is MAGIC! It was delicious in everything! We loved the flavors of everything. The skewers had the perfect amount of char without tasting burned. The fried rice was so fresh, some of the best I've had. The cucumber salad was perfectly seasoned and tasted amazing with a bite of that pork belly. I will definitely return for another meal, there are so many more things I want to try.“

“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!“

“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).“

“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!“

“I honestly wish I could give this place 1000 stars because they actually listened. I asked for half noodles, extra protein, light oil, and extra vegetables and they delivered it exactly how I wanted. Not “kind of,” not “close enough”… but perfect. You can tell they care about their customers and pay attention to details, which is rare these days.

The dish was flavorful without being heavy, fresh, and balanced in a way that made me feel good after eating!
That level of respect and execution? Yeah… that’s what keeps people coming back.

Super impressed. Definitely one of those spots where you feel taken care of. I’ll be back, no question!

And thanks to the workers here because they’re super sweet and very attentive I came here by myself and didn’t feel like I came here by myself.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Travelled Portland for vacation. Stopped by at the restaurant and tried some fusion dishes. It was really great. The service was excellent and the Nepalese food was very flavorful. They are introducing Nepalese platter soon called thali set. Excited to try next time when visiting Portland.“

“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.“

“Excelente comida muy deliciosa delicioso todo buen servicio el dueño muy amable muy atento servicio rápido“

“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.“

“Very joyful vibes!! Delicious food!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Joy Wok is as great as ever it does not aspire to be something its not, just good high quality food as a good price point.

I have stayed with the same meal for over a decade because its thay good. The five spice chicken is something I have found no where else.

I will be back and the commercial area where they are located allows for an easy jump between a few places for variety.“

“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.“

“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😋“

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

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

“Everything about this place is amazing. The price of the food is the best for what I got compared to all the other places I have been this past year. The staff is very attentive. The food quality is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere really well done. I need a good amount of sushi and for what I ordered and the price I paid it's extremely good.“

“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. 💖💖💖“

“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.“

“So many naturally gluten free items on the menu! This place is legit. The atmosphere looks like a thai street food market and they have a garage door that opens providing such a fun indoor outdoor experience.

Everything we ordered was delivered hot and fresh, gluten free, and filled with so much flavor! We got the chicken wings to start which were crispy, sweet and savory.
For the entrée, we shared the panang curry and chicken pad thai. The curry was delicious and had a lovely balance of heat and sweet while the pad thai provided that lovely tamarind and peanut flavor we all know and love from such a classic dish. Everything arrived at the table piping hot, you can see the steam in the video i posted.

I know this place has been around awhile but im so glad to have stumbled across them now. My new go to thai place for sure!“
