50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Portland

“My go to place for when I get homesick. Friendly staff who speak mandarin, fast and delicious food, reliable service, easy ordering. Thanks for being a slice of home for me!

My go to is the Mongolian beef noodles swapping out their usual noodles for the wide rice noodles. So good!“

“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.“

“Master Kong's looks like a pretty unassuming neighborhood restaurant, like a lot of those in Portland, but the jianbing here really punches above its weight! We had a few different dumplings, the beef brisket, the jianbing, some vegetables, and everything was very well prepared and delicious. Loved it!“

“One of the best Dumpling houses I’ve been to! Food came out quick and was delicious! We got the chicken chow mein and pork & veggie soup dumplings, as well as sesame chicken! Everything was 10/10. Our server Jason was efficient and kind. Would definitely be seeing me again soon!“

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

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

“Loved eating here! We were only passing through Portland and needed a place to stop and eat and recharge and we're very happy that we found this restaurant!
Friendly staff. Quick and excellent service. Delicious food! Enjoyed everything that we ordered, and we ordered a lot lol“

“Immediately when you walk in and it feels like a great mom and pop noodle shop. The wonton and brisket noodles were easily some of the best I've had. Rich, flavorful beef broth with such a nice chew and bounce from the noodles. The wontons were also large and had minced pork and shrimp inside. The mixed meat congee was also a great order. Hot with plenty of meat that paired nicely with their chinese donut that was thin, not greasy, and so, so good. Also get their refreshing soy milk drink!“

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

“A solid 4 star dim sum (no carts) spot in SE.

There are only a handful worth going to this is one. We don't really have top top tier dim sum like Cali, Seattle, Vancouver does but our several SE spots are alright.

HK Cafe was mediocre the last 3-4 times we went so we don't go there anymore. We also heard about some nasty health code violations 🤢“

“This spot is FIRE! 🔥 We ordered the orange chicken and general tso and they were so good!! Saucy, crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside! So much food, couldn’t finish mine so now I have dinner 🩷 The crab puffs and spring rolls were hot and crunchy and the fillings were yummy!! Thank you for throwing in a chili oil for us, the extra kick made the food a hit!!! Now I know why this place is highly rated, I’m in love!!!! 😍“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food, service, and prices! Got the ma po tofu, a dish I love to eat as a vegetarian-adjacent person, but that often has meat included—which this restaurant has both tofu only and pork! A great way to be vegetarian-friendly and maintain authenticity. I will be back!“

“After visiting several bars and restaurants across the country and Portland (specifically) it’s impressive to see a spot that cares deeply about the atmosphere, service and menu.

I’ve been here twice and each time have been very impressed by how hospitable the bartenders are.

Josh is a standout and clearly cares about his team and customers.

Overall, 10/10. This is the kind of spot that Portland NEEDS.“

“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.“

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

“hood dim sum. attentive servers“

“Amazing food! Friendly staff!“

“This is one of my favorite places in Portland. Here is the review after over 2 years of dining here. They offer authentic Chinese Street BBQ which I couldn’t find back then. I like to order extra spicy, but I don't recommend it if you don't have a very high tolerance for spice. My must-order items are skewers (beef, pork belly, squid, chicken gizzard, chives, potato) and enoki beef aluminum box with rice vermicelli. Their oyster is pretty good too.

The service becomes more contactless as they develop but the tip suggestion starts from 18% doesn't make sense since there is very minimal service. Also you can't expect friendly service from a Chinese restaurant 😁

Overall, food is pretty good and I really want this business to be sustain.“

“This place came up on my fyp a couple weeks ago and I am so glad I finally got to eat here! The food is SO good!

First of all, just look at how fat those egg rolls are. I was amazed by the sheer size of them, and they were absolutely delicious. The orange chicken was fantastic too. I can't wait to order again and try something else!

Aside from the amazing food, I think my favorite thing is that they offer free delivery if you live within 2 miles of the restaurant. I cannot tell you how happy it made me to get delivery on my day off without having to drop $40 due to third party fees. And my tip actually went to my driver!

They were fast too. I ordered on a Saturday evening like right at the start of dinner time, and the driver was outside with hot, fresh food barely 30 minutes later.

Will absolutely be eating here again!!“

“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.“

“Wanted to try something new and this place looked great. Staff were super nice, the vibe inside was amazing and the Cold Noodles + 2 Bao was so good! I had two pork buns and the flavor was delicious, easily the best I’ve had! The sauce for the Cold Noodles was great, with just the right amount spice to make every bite taste wonderful. $19 and I left feeling stuffed, great portion sizes! Plus, or food came out surprisingly fast, didn’t even feel like 5minutes before it was brought to us.
Definitely plan to come back again!“

“If you like it hot, you have to come and try the crispy spicy fish. If you don't like it hot, come with someone who does and have a bite of theirs! Also the pork wonton with spicy oil were excellent. Lunch portion was generous, although the hot & sour soup and spring roll were very pedestrian.

Update: June 2026. Fish and chili oil wonton were still very good, but didn't seem all that spicy (it's still tingling hot). Portion was decent but it wasn't too much for one person to have both a Lunch and an appetizer.“

“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 best chinese food on the coast. My wife is chinese and knows what real chinese food tastes like. Since we discovered Fengying's kitchen every time we drive through Garibaldi we stop by this food cart. The cucumber salad, seasoned eggs, and noodles are excellent choices--although you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Highly recommend!“

“Yummy is a hole in the wall, mom and pop shop that is always a must for Chinese food in Portland. The owners are kind, hardworking and accommodating. Don’t judge a book by its cover because the food here is reminiscent of the classic (good) Cantonese food you could get back pre 2010s in PDX. Not one of the gentrified and overpriced Chinese restaurants I am sad to see increasing in numbers. Nothing but quality food and generous portions. So please don’t let gems like these disappear.

I’ve come here countless times with my family. Anywhere from 4 people to more than 10. We like to bring everyone here for any occasion.

Food: never gone wrong with anything I’ve ordered here. The stewed beef brisket is hands down my favorite dish here. Not a commonly found dish in restaurants anymore. The time and care put into this dish can cure the common cold to a broken heart. The chow fun and chow mein are always go to orders. The rice noodles are always fresh and have the perfect glisten in the chow fun (I tore into the dish before snapping a picture). Any steamed fish is always perfectly cooked. If they have the bbq spareribs, order them immediately and thank me later. Can’t knock any of the more Chinese-American dishes either.

As Cantonese food can be quite dense and filling, I love the balance with the fresh sushi. Tuna/maguro and yellowtail/hamachi are my favorites here. Generous nigiri sizes and the rolls are lovely.“

“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.“

“Love the experience, food is excellent. Chrysanthemum greens were a little tough, put all the flavors are there. Smart hospitality people throughout... Professional, efficient and friendly.
I'm a whole plant-based eater and had a great day however I wouldn't consider it the most healthy since I don't eat fried foods and use sugar or much oil.
For going out it's really 5 stars... I love good food and restaurants that are passionate about what they do, not just making money. This hits all cylinders.“

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

“What a fantastic little gem of an Asian food truck in downtown! My husband and I ordered the teriyaki chicken and chicken yakisoba. I was floored by the amount of food you get for $10! Everything was so flavorful and delicious! Service was excellent. I was impressed that the truck was only run by one man --- and he really slayed in that kitchen! We will definitely be returning here to try more dishes soon!“

“Ate here for the 1st time. This is an area with several Asian eating places. The 1st one we went into was completely empty so we decided to check out Jin Jin just across the parking lot. There is only 8-10 tables but it was packed! A good sign. Friendly and good service. Food was wonderful! Only bad thing is the only table available was right behind the door so whenever the door was opened the vertical blinds would swing back and forth over my head.“

“Might be biased because I was with a dear friend, and my first time here, but damn those were good noodles. Just the right amount of spice, so good. Thai Tea was unusual, still not sure if I liked it or not. I definitely suggest heading here for a nice sit down, but they also do carryout, like a lot.“

“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)“

“Client recommended we go here for lunch and I wasn't disappointed. Everything came out family style so it was fun being able to order a bunch of different things and try it all. We had wontons, shoa mai, broccoli, green beans, hot and sour soup, and a few different soup dumplings. Everything was made to order, came out periodically so we never had too many ch on the table at one time, and everything was the perfect temperature to eat right away. Great flavor, nice presentation even only coming out in the steamer basket. Service was spot on, never needing to ask for refills or to remove empty dishes and the price was perfect for a group lunch, coming in right around $25-$30 per person. It is located in the basement of the pioneer mall, is clean, and the atmosphere was perfect for an easy lunch conversation.“

“Great Food. I am so happy with the new location.“

“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.“

“Not much to look at but the food makes up for it! Honestly, never ever thought I would try it out. Then, my job bought us lunch & everybody agreed on this place. Figured WTH & ordered the teriyaki chicken & was hooked! It is now on my go-to list. Not fancy, just good.“

“Excellent food, plus above and beyond service! They even taught our seven-year-old how to use chopsticks.

Officially my favorite dumplings in Portland, and I’ve been searching for 20 years.

This will be one of our go-to’s now, for sure!“

“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!“

“Food tasted very fresh and the flavors were wonderful. They have a dispenser on the tables with mixed spices (not spicy), and one with spicy contents. I used the non-spicy powder on my Chow Mein and I was loving the flavor combinations. They also used this powder on our king oyster mushroom BBQ skewers. I think what stood out most to me was the menu variety. I admittedly couldn’t order most items because of dietary restrictions and the large amount of spicy foods, but I still love to see so many uncommon options.“

“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 :)“

“The lady there made me laugh hard a few times and the food is cheap for how good it was. Thank you“

“This was an amazing place. The food was wonderful, and the service was excellent. We felt welcome, and appreciated. They checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed.
The food was the most incredible Chinese food I've had in decades. You won't find a better place for genuine Chinese cuisine.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great, and affordable meal. The portions were large too.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“Amazing Cantonese style Chinese food. My sifu says this is the last good Cantonese restaurant in downtown Portland. Prices are so reasonable, portions are huge, staff is friendly and the food is excellent. I highly recommend the string beans with any meat you want and the Chinese style cauliflower with preserved pork. There Salt and Pepper Squid is to die for! I had it with a friend when she was visiting and she is still talking about months later how we have to go there the next time she visits.“

“Quite and friendly“

“The owners are amazing. The food is ALWAYS FRESH AND ON POINT! I unfortunately had to replace my regular Chinese food place ( Chinese happiness) because they closed down 😪 i tried every Chinese restaurant in a 10 mile radius and this one is by far the best replacement I could find. The building is tore back but don't let that deter u.I promise u won't regret it“

“Fresh authentic Chinese food, with many things on the menu you can't find elsewhere in Portland. The hot and sour soup is the best in the west!“

“Amazing food truck behind the PSU library that produces great Chinese food, large portions, and cheap prices. The owner, Susan, is there everyday working hard and yet she maintains an incredible friendliness and even seems to remember many customers by name“

“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.“
