50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Portland

“Phenomenal restaurant. We are vegetarian and had some fantastic options. The chive
Cakes and Hawaiian rolls were my personal favs nut everything we ordered was top notch. Jennifer our server was kind, super on it and gave great recommendations.“

“We ordered monglian beef spicy regular noodles and non spicy kung pao chicken noodles. We also tried the pecking duck roll and crab rangoons and it was served HOT & FAST. The noodles and the rangoons were delicious. The pecking doll roll was very flavorful, however I didn’t expect the cucumber to be in the roll. I enjoyed the freshness to it. If we weren’t traveling from out of town, I’d visit again.“

“Silk Road is the kind of place you call your mom about.
Everything was fantastic. The calamari was tender and perfectly crispy, and the chili oil was flavorful without overpowering it.
I can't remember our bartender's name for the life of me, unfortunately, but he was incredibly knowledgeable and made me hands down the best espresso cocktail I've ever had in my life.
The space is immaculate—upscale and beautifully designed, but still cozy and not remotely pretentious.
Fantastic drinks, food, service, and atmosphere. I'll be back very soon. Seriously, call your mom.“

“Whoa. Absolutely delicious. We got the pork soup dumplings, eggplant and string beans, and cumin beef. Every dish was generously portioned and satisfying, particularly the beef which was beyond tender. Service was quick and friendly (thanks Jason). Definitely saving this spot.“

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

“Tasty Corner is my favorite Chinese food place in Portland Oregon. Their prices are pretty reasonable considering the size the of the portions, and the vegetables are always very fresh. Try the Dry Cooked String Beans (by themself or with a protein) and the Eggplant with Fried Tofu. So good!“

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

“I stopped here before a show tonight, WOW. This is my new favorite spot and I will be returning next week!
My boyfriend and I loved the kiosk since we like debating a little bit before we order. We ordered the xiaolong chicken soup dumplings, the jianbing and beef brisket noodle soup. And of course a hong kong style tea to wash it all down. I am impressed! The service was amazing, all of the women working the floor were so nice and accommodating. It’s clean, quiet and cozy. The food though, next level. The beef brisket here is the best I’ve ever had, I was so moved by it I had to say something to the waitress on the way out!! I saved half of the jianbing and I’m eating it now as I write this.
Please stop by and give this a try. It was wonderful and the highlight of my night, me and my boyfriend cannot shut up about it!!“

“Thoroughly impressed with the food and service upon my first visit. There is Chinese food here that’s different from most other Chinese restaurants and I found myself trying and enjoying new food. Not much else can be better than going someplace new and trying new things and enjoying them.“

“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.“

“Do not walk……RUN to Street Wok! This place is an absolute gem on Mcadam. We have lived in the neighborhood for almost 10 years and have driven by this place an endless amount of times. Today we wanted some good food, and close. So we stopped in to Street Wok. First impression was that of cleanliness and kindness. Which is critical for me. We were seated and served right away. Every dish came out hot and in good timing. Our waitress was VERY attentive and gracious. We ordered the Salt & Pepper Squid, Szechuan Prawns, Broccoli & Beef, Egg flower soup, and the garlic string beans. We finished it all down with a delicious Thai tea. Each were PLENTIFUL and DELICIOUS. PACKED with flavor!!! Another reviewer had noted the restaurants lack of heavy oil in their fried entrees and I can confirm. Nothing was greasy or oily. The salt and pepper squid was the BEST I have ever had. This place is special and I’m so so thankful to have such a wonderful place to eat so near by! We will be back again, and again!!“

“#1 La mian is authentic and tastes very good but the portion is small. I finished everything except the very salty soup base and was half full. 😂 Not sure about other reviews talking about portion, but mine was equivalently to 1.5 oz of dry pasta at most. They may have changed the portion size or I’m just unlucky. $14 is not expensive but I’d rather they charge more and give me more noodles.“

“Great food overall, but the best of the best is its fried dough stick 油条。 It matches well with soy milk, or mixes into congee. Of course it tastes great on its own, crisp but soft. Really enjoyed it. This little restaurant is the Jade of the Jade district, after our searching for good Chinese food around as a visitor from out of the State.“

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

“10/10 would recommend!! I got the orange chicken with white rice and my wife got the fried rice noodle with beef and both were so good! We hardly came up for air when eating! The spring rolls, Crab Rangoons, and sweet sesame rice balls were a great addition all thanks to owners! Check this place out!“

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

“I’ve been on the hunt for a perfect eggroll that’s not a spring roll for ages, and this one hit the spot!! I’m absolutely thrilled I found this place, I haven’t been this happy after a meal in forever!

The food tastes just like my favorite place back home in Michigan, even down to the tiny shrimps in the eggrolls. I’m absolutely delighted!“

“We’ve been eating at this restaurant since our kids were little so well over 40 years and today I came by to enjoy a plate of their chicken handmade noodles, which was just outstanding and I asked for a small dish of sweet-and-sour sauce and they bring it and it just adds everything and honestly everybody should come here to this classic Chinese restaurant for these delicious foods. And very pleasant staff and a beautiful clean environment and affordable one dish, which was about $15 easily served two people and I’m stuffed. I think it’s very important to support independent restaurants in Portland and not just do chain restaurants of course because these independent guys need our participation and frequenting to make their lives continue and this way.“

“First time ever trying bao, and I am a new fan! There were many options and the staff was kind to help explain the flavors and help me decide. There were also many options for service sizes. You could purchase only one bao bun, or you could try multiples flavors, I personally was satisfied with 3 bao buns for a meal. The shop is quite small inside so I wouldn’t suggest bringing a large group, but the service was quick and easy to take togo, it is definitely worth a visit!“

“Food was so hot, fresh, healthy and tasty!“

“Saw this homey restaurant from our bus ride across town and had to hop off the bus for what we knew was an authentic noodle experience, we were not disappointed.

A lovely waitress bussed the table as we approached, greeted us kindly and was gracious for our entire visit. The food is authentic, hand made and delicious. It was an awesome Portland experience for us.“

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

“Everything was wonderful. The food was delish and the bar service was great. Don’t listen to negative reviews because the food is worth it. They are busy for a reason and it’s a great place where you can even watch them make the dumplings. Glad my friend recommended to me.“

“Wanted to try a new place and something new. I haven't seen Singapore noodles anywhere else here so I got that, and decided to try the zhen bang chicken. And wow - that is flavorful! I wish I had the recipe! Also very kind and helpful man who took my order and held the door open for me.“

“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.“

“Been going here for 15+ years. Menu has changed a little and their layout has changed a little. These are the best rice cakes I’ve ever had. I feel like their other dishes aren’t as strong as they used to be. I crave their rice cakes often though and it keeps me coming back. Service is good and consistent. Only negative is the shared bathroom.

Order the rice cakes.“

“We were visiting from out of state and went into the restaurant for lunch. Service was wonderful. I'm not sure if it was the owner that greeted us, but a much older gentleman definitely welcomed our big group and accommodated a round table to fit our group. We ordered plenty and the food came out fresh, hot and delicious. I had the intestine dried pot stir fry and it was tasty. I tried other dishes that were on my table as well and everything was on point! If I visit Portland again, I'll definitely stop by the restaurant for another round. Kudos to the older gentleman that kept checking in with our group and made sure we had everything we needed. Sir, thank you and keep up the great customer service you and your team are doing! Thanks to the cooks for making such a memorable flavor! I'm telling people I know about this restaurant. I hope you don't mind the business. :) God Bless! Have a wonderful day.“

“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.“

“AMAZINGLY GOOD TASTING FOOD!!!
Service 10/10 ( frendly )
Food 9/10
Bathroom 1/10 ( there was poop all over the toilet and it smelled so bad in there )
Cost 6/10 not bad
There is people smoking outside all of the time
They don't wash there water glasses because I saw lipstick
They always stare at you when you eat .
People telling a laughing“

“Stop looking. Just go! One of the best Vegan restaurants in town“

“My favorite spot for skewers in Portland!

I have been here multiple times and the quality is always great! Their seasoning is perfect and I love that they open late too!

10 out of 10 definitely recommend!“

“I’ve been going to St John’s Kitchen for years and I’m finally throwing up a review. Best teriyaki in Portland- WAY better than Du’s on Sandy. Get the chicken and beef combo, you won’t regret it!“

“My daughter and I absolutely love this restaurant. We love Chinese food and have tried everywhere around! Since the first time we finally found China Delight (about 2 years ago) we have been able to stop trying new places just trying to find really good food. Now we just look forward to Chinese food as much as we can. They have the best everything. Cooked fresh with quality ingredients! The sauces are amazing too! Even the tea is so good! The family that owns and operates the restaurant are so sweet. You really feel welcome every time you walk in. Seriously if you haven't tried the restaurant yet. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Thank you China Delight!
Your the best in Oregon.“

“Visited during both Nacho Week and Burger Week, had an excellent time both visits despite it being very busy! The specialty week options were both delicious and really novel. Both visits were while the restaurant was pretty packed, and service was still quick. Will be returning soon, each visit I saw other people eating something else that looked amazing! Their house lemonade and tea (especially with the ginger syrup) were both delicious.“

“8/10

Overall, it was a decent experience, and the service was good. The staff was attentive and polite.

However, I was quite disappointed with the scallops.

The scallop meat was surprisingly small compared with the size of the shells, and there was no noticeable adductor muscle connecting the meat to the shell. I can’t say for certain how the scallops were sourced or prepared, but the way they were presented raised a reasonable question about whether these were whole scallops or commercially purchased frozen scallop meat placed into shells.

I’m not making an accusation, because I obviously don’t know what happens in the kitchen. But if the restaurant is using frozen scallop meat and presenting it in shells, I think that should be clearly disclosed to customers. The appearance of the dish can create a very different impression from what customers may actually be receiving.

For a restaurant, trust and transparency matter. Even if the price seems reasonable, customers should feel confident that what they are being served matches what they reasonably expect to be ordering.

The service was good, which is why I’m giving the restaurant 8/10, but the scallops were definitely something I would like to see improved or explained more clearly.“

“I was walking over to it after work and nearly missed it but I’m glad I didn’t. Now I can’t really comment on their Sichuan food as I didn’t order it but their Mongolian beef was really tender. It was in my opinion perfectly cooked and so were the onions it was cooked with. The sauce wasn’t too thick or thin, it was really well balanced with a subtle sweetness and the right amount of spice. The cucumber salad was super fresh and not mushy at all. Had I gone with a friend this would have been a really affordable although by yourself the lunch special is much cheaper. Still I had a lovely time and enjoyed the music they were playing. Staff was lovely, and I’ll be coming back.“

“My family has been eating here for over 35 years. Growing up less than a mile away, this was THE place to get an order to go when my parents didn't feel like cooking and I followed in their footsteps when raising my own children. Now that I live out of state we aleays make sure to eat here when we are back in town for any occasion. My son now brings his wife and child here to eat when they crave Chinese food.
I absolutely love Rainbow Dragon, the food is always good and portion size is excellent, consistent quality at an affordable price.
We always order the Szechuan dinner and everyone shares.“

“Arrived and waited 10 minutes for a table. Once we ordered we had to wait an additional 35 minutes. The chow mein lacked some flavor, but they did have some spices that you could add on like soy sauce, chili oil and vinegar. The hot pot was decent and the wontons were surprisingly really good with the oil it came with.“

“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.“

“hood dim sum. attentive servers“

“I live in NYC and let me tell you the Cantonese BBQ meats here are way better! Best I’ve had besides Singapore.

The crispy pork belly is a must. It’s particularly good because it’s not too fatty and is boneless. Perfectly crispy skin. Just delicious!!!“

“It is difficult to find a good and decent noodle house these days. Portland used to have one excellent noodle house in Chinatown, but it has since been closed. This restaurant has plenty of seating. When we went there, there were no other customers dining. Perhaps we went there at off hours of the day, I can't remember.

The lady who worked there that day was very nice and polite. My husband tried the superbowl noodle soup with roasted duck, stewed beef and roast pork. I had the classic beef chow fun. My chow fun dish was good. I could definitely add a little salt to suit my taste. My husband's noodle soup had the right kind of egg noodle at an authentic chinese noodle house. But he complained about the stewed beef being inedible. Most of the pieces were not meaty. The roast duck lacked the good duck flavor. I think the noodle broth was not clear enough and the flavor was lacking. My husband also thought there could have been more noodle as well especially he ordered the biggest bowl available.

I will definitely go back and try out other dishes, perhaps not the noodle soup.“

“Quite and friendly“

“As a vegetarian, I love this place! They have so many vegetarian options, and the vegetable pot stickers are amazing. I also absolutely love the location. It’s right by the water, and the sunset views are beautiful. Such a great place to go with friends or family, would highly recommend.“

“I'm so happy I found this place!! I wanted dumplings so bad and these were delicious, flavorful and juicy pork dumplings and the dipping sauce+chili oil was so good. I got the #11, which was pork dumplings and noodles, and the noodles were yummy too. Good amount of food for the price!“

“Saw @thekoreanmama's video, and with the weather being colder, we thought Hot pot would hit the spot.
Surprised it wasn't busier because the service is quick and the flavors of the broth and dipping sauces were excellent. The hot pot for 2 with half and half spicy/ regular broth was affordable and a great choice. We couldn't even finish all the meat so we were able to take some home.“

“We ordered take out, but I was impressed by how good everything tasted. We ordered chicken chow mein with cashews and the portion size was HUGE! I ordered General Tsao's chicken and it tasted very good. That also had a huge portion. Would definitely recommend.“

“The food is amazing, the prices are great and speed is fast! The atmosphere isn't the best but the food makes up for it!“

“My partner and I eat here all the time, and the owner is lovely! Today we picked up our food and he called after we left saying that he forgot to put something in the bag, and that we had to come back for it- it was a SINGLE piece of tempura shrimp. Always above and beyond service, and always delicious food, our favorite food cart!“

“Awesome food service and everything“
