50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Portland

“Great value and fast service! But you order for yourself using a kiosk.

Vegetarian options: Veggie fried rice, Veggie stir fry

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options for noodles. And the rice dishes of course.“

“The veggie dumplings were very flavorful and freshly steamed. The included sauces complimented them very well. The red bean dessert was also nice: flaky and sweet without being overly sweet.

Service was quick and courteous. The order process is done on a screen which was straightforward, though I was still greeted at the door and provided with water and a table.

Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality. The portions weren't large but I was still full by the end of desert so perfect for lunch.“

“Everything was delicious!!“

“As someone who’s traveled to China multiple times to multiple cities, I can say these are authentic flavors and dishes. Must order #1, Chongqing Chicken. Yes it’s spicy, yes your mouth is getting numb, and no you are not having an allergic reaction. That’s just the real Szechuan peppercorns doing the magic they do. Must order #2 Pork Wonton in Chili Oil. Do yourself a favor and get a side of the chili oil for an extra $2. You’ll find yourself dipping everything in it because it’s that good. Last but not least, Garlic Green Beans. A staple of better Chinese restaurants, these Green Beans are crispy and swimming in butter & garlic heaven.“

“Very tasty, I really enjoyed their Japanese Rice Lager on tap.“

“Best lollipop chicken and garlic noodles in town!! Great friendly owners :)“

“If you know, you know — Kenny’s Noodle House is the spot in Portland for Hong Kong–style comfort food 🍜🇭🇰. The Wonton Noodle Soup? Plump, juicy perfection in a broth that tastes like it’s been simmered all day 🥟🔥. BBQ Pork & Roast Duck Noodles? Smoky, tender, and downright addictive 🦆. And don’t sleep on the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup — melt-in-your-mouth beef in rich, aromatic goodness 🐂✨.

Generous portions, wallet-friendly prices, and that cozy, casual vibe that makes you want to linger. Come hungry, leave happy — and maybe a little obsessed.“

“Holy cow, probably among the best chinese food in town. I asked them to make a General Tso Tofu even though it's technically not on the menu, and I was blown away. The flavor is super complex with fresh ginger and garlic cloves and the tofu is soft and fluffy. Definitely the best restaurant on Macadam no question.“

“Best chow fun in town. Can't get fresher noodles anywhere because they supply most of the Chinese restaurants and stores in town with their noodles. Their fried rice is really good, too. They also make their own tofu, both fresh and fried. Their rice noodle rolls are good, too. just have to get their early in the day because they sell out fast. The owners are some of the nicest people and work extremely hard. Love giving them my business.“

“Master Kong absolutely went above and beyond. Not only was the food incredible — full of rich flavor and clearly made with love — but the kindness of the staff completely blew me away.

I accidentally placed my order for pickup at their other location, and instead of canceling or making it complicated, they personally delivered my meal to me. That kind of thoughtfulness is so rare, and it meant so much.

Everything from the food to the people just radiates warmth and care. You can tell this place is run by people who genuinely love what they do. Master Kong will always be a part of my Portland travel tradition from now on. ❤️“

“I came to Silk Road after seeing their food online, and it totally lived up to the hype! I know it’s more known as a bar, but the food is seriously next-level. I tried the chow wow noodles and they were incredible, and my drink was amazing. Definitely a must-try spot if you’re in the Portland area!“

“First visit today. Throwback pricing, truly. I don't know how it works but they are charging what I would have expected to pay ten years ago. It was a great value. No, it isn't pretty outside. That does not matter. I can't believe somebody left a bad review based on that, while never having eaten here. It was plenty comfortable and the service was fast and friendly enough. The food was very good. We will be back.“

“Amazing food! Friendly staff!“

“man, the eternal dilemma: pork belly brussel sprouts or mabo tofu (with ground pork)? two amazing dishes I can NEVER get enough of.

this place is pretty dead most of the time, except for take out and delivery; the front counter is straight up jumping but the wait staff have little to do. so fabulous place to go with a large party and no reservation (except prob timbers/thorns nights).

my only qualm with this restaurant is its practice of not including white rice with an entree that needs it. it's like 2 bucks (I think) added on, and the unconventional and the weirdness of this policy bugs me. I'd love to hear the owner's rationale.

that said, portion sizes are huge, the veggies and meats fresh and never overcooked, like they are at so many Chinese restaurants, and prices are relatively inexpensive. I love the look main at their nearby competitor, Ling Garden (though the freshness of the chicken, especially, seems to have become suspect) but the quality and prices here is generally better--this is more fusion, in a good way, than it's neighbor. and don't even get me started on the other nearby competitor, August Moon. other than paying more because of tacking on right, Kung POW beats them both.

I'm not much for sweet and sour but I've gone with people who have had dishes with their cherry sauce who think that's fantastic; also, Judy's Noodles get some significant love. But for me it's all Brussels/mabo, all the time.“

“I recently dined at Sichuan Taste, and it was an unforgettable experience—in the best way. From the moment we walked in, the fragrant spices in the air hinted at the bold flavors to come. The restaurant had a warm, bustling atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

We started with the spicy wontons in chili oil, and they were phenomenal—delicately wrapped, perfectly cooked, and swimming in a sauce that delivered heat with flavor, not just fire. The mapo tofu was a standout: silky tofu in a rich, complex sauce with that signature numbing kick from Sichuan peppercorns. It was everything I hoped for and more.

Another favorite was the dry-fried green beans—crisp, savory, and just the right amount of salty. Every dish we tried felt thoughtfully prepared, with generous portions and vibrant ingredients.

If you’re a fan of authentic, fiery Sichuan cuisine, Sichuan Taste is a must-visit. Just be ready for some serious spice! (Pro tip: order the jasmine tea—it pairs beautifully with the heat.)

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
Would definitely come back to explore more of the menu!“

“hood dim sum. attentive servers“

“Din Tai Fung never disappoints. It's my go-to place for power lunches when I need to impress colleagues, friends and family. Everything is top notch. Price point is good (not cheap). Their chocolate-filled steamed buns (signature dessert) paired with a side of salted cream is To Die For. Must make reservations or you will be disappointed.“

“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.“

“My adult daughter and I stopped in for a quick bite. She ordered 3 curry Bao. $10 is not bad. It was good, but I am not a curry guy.

The space is small and can seat 20 at the most.

The business seems to do mostly Uber Eats.

The decor is minimal and too much concrete for me.

The food came out very quickly“

“Casually amazing. Terrific service exceeded only by the delicious scrumptious plates, lovely presentation and comfort. Unlike many Portland restaurants, the seating is comfortable (thank you). The star of the experience is the food. And unlike too many Thai restaurants that have you fishing for the meat lost in a curry soup, the plates here will fill you up. It's not the portions are big, it's just that they are so damn satisfying and wonderful. Clean, colourful and cheerful, a terrific spot all around.“

“We were looking for a nice restaurant with my husband and saw some mixed opinions about here so we decided to try. It’s so worth it !!! I loved the dining atmosphere, the lady that served us was also super friendly and cheerful. We recommend the wontons and we also loved the vegetables with broccoli and warsugai chicken. We will come back for sure :)“

“Scenic upstairs setting overlooking the lan su gardens. Tranquil atmosphere with the chirping of a variety of birds in the background. Teahouse is air conditioned and offers both iced and hot teas. The price for tea and dessert is very reasonable. Worth a visit, but plan time to enjoy the juxtaposition of a peaceful garden inside the hustle and bustle of the city.“

“Honestly, best tasting experience I've ever had! And amazing service! Thanks so much!“

“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.“

“I’ve been going to Powell’s Seafood for 35 years and it’s our family “go to” place. I married into a Chinese family and my in-laws knew the owner and wait staff. However it changed owners a few years ago, so just not the same. Still good, but prices went up substantially and just doesn’t have the pull it once did.“

“Best Chinese BBQ anywhere!“

“So good! The veggie beef and broccoli was amazing!“

“such nice people! excellent boisterous atmosphere, and my egg custard buns (one of my favorite foods since childhood) came out shaped like cute little pigs! it was a lovely whimsical surprise, and really brightened my day. this is a classic dim sum restaurant, very nice!“

“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!“

“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.“

“friendly smiling servers and a clean restaurant front made a good first impression, but the delicious freshly made deep fried dumplings will bring us back again soon for the second time in a month. Honestly, have been thinking about those dumplings almost every day since that first visit,“

“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“

“We had their sweet and sour chicken and it was actually really good. The rice was fresh and fluffy and the chicken was crispy and covered in a delicious, sweet and sour sauce. Karaoke was very fun. Operation of the karaoke unit was very professional and the audio was a spot on. No distortion and you could actually hear people sing. The song selection was, of course great and the ambiance and drinks were on par with what you'd expect on a popular bar in Portland. This is a great place to meet with some friends sing some songs. Have some good food and drink some too.“

“The food was delicious! I never say that about restaurants, but I want everyone to know about Ruk Diew Cafe! the food was fresh ND so good. the coconut prawns were tender and flavorful, the fried tofu was crispy and the sauce yummy. I think I had green mango in a lovely sauce with red peppers. I am a happy diner.“

“This place is such a hidden gem! It’s like a build-your-own hotpot, and every bite is packed with incredible flavor. Tucked away in the Northwest neighborhood, it definitely deserves way more recognition. It may be counter service, but the care and attention they give you feels like full table service. And trust me—this praise is coming from an Asian foodie. Game on.“

“So very good, amazing food, great service and a community loving owner❤️ I send people to Mekha often and they love it too!“

“Staff is nice and restaurant is clean specially the restroom good service food is excellent highly recommended First time here from Vancouver Canada very satisfied“

“Republic Cafe / Ming Lounge has History, and it shows whether through the layout or the decor. The cafe seating is nice whether booth or the tables, and the main bar has a nice dive-adjacent feel to it.
I come regularly for a circus night on Tuesdays, and it's been really nice being part of a community and getting to know folks. The music is good, the crafting is, just a good vibe in back.

The food is SOLID, and the drinks are well made too
💜 I'm grateful this space is open 💜“

“Food Was EXCELLENT!!! Recommend to us! Traveled from Sherwood! Definitely 💯 will be back Soon!“

“They have Yucatán food so good the panuchos are my favorite 😋“

“Delicious food, generous portions, easy parking, friendly service, easy to use online ordering, I had the Mongolian beef, wife had the Orange chicken and added instructions for fried rice and they delivered along with tasty treats on the side at no extra charge. Filled my bowl with plenty of leftover! Awesomeness 😎👌“

“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.“

“Clean, great food, great service. My friends and I went there for karaoke and it was great. Good gambling.“

“Outstanding food and great service. The owner served us and did a great job pointing out menu items and explained some things that were new to us. The food came out fast and hot and we really had a great experience.“

“My family and I've been coming here for a lot of years very personable friendly kind family oriented.. my husband and I have come here for our anniversary and were treated super special when they see us they treat us with such loving family greetings nice to see us again with joy awesome good people here“

“I have never had jianbing before, but after trying both the roasted duck and chinese sausage loaded jianbing, I need it in my life regularly. An incredible blend of flavor, made with care and served in a convenient platform. Eat Jianbing and be happy.“

“So, I ordered delivery and have never eaten here before, but I live nearby and always wondered about the food. Well let me say, you are missing out on one of the best tasting restaurants in Portland. I ordered the chow mein which was very different from usual chow mein in a very very good way! The noodles were ramen like and the flavors were crazy good. I also loved the beef skewers and had a grape slushie that was amazing! I want to now, go order one of everything on their menu for my next meal. Eat here. Go. I rarely review restaurants but I had to jump online and glow about such a great tasting meal that stood above others.“

“I only know this as a good plate lunch special place. Great clean tasting traditionally flavored stir fry lunches served by smart, helpful, friendly waitresses. I feel like the single scoop of rice is too small for me, but I don't mind paying another dollar or whatever for a second scoop! Consider that a tip from me to you.“

“The crispy pork belly and roasted duck were amazing! Perfectly seasoned, just the right amount of fat, and cut into perfect sizes. Extremely kind and friendly staff. We try to stop by every time we drive down from Seattle, it’s that good. We’ve been several times now, and have both eaten it immediately and taken it home to eat later. It still tastes great reheated.“

“The food here is incredible, we liked everything we ordered! The gentleman working hooked us up for sure and everything was fresh and tasty. We could’ve ordered one thing for two people because the portions were so big. Would definitely recommend!(To the person who complained about no crab in the wontons… there’s no crab listed anywhere on the menu and it’s very clearly marked as Cream Cheese Rangoons. They’re super good and you get 8 for $7 which is such a good deal, so no reason to complain there)“
