50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Portland

“It was my first time experiencing Silk Road, and I had reasonably elevated hopes, and I was not disappointed at all. I came in shortly after they opened as a solo diner at the bar. The staff was engaging and knowledgeable and just fun to be around. The first drink I had was the special called “sour senate” and it was balanced, damn tasty and refreshing. The salt and pepper calamari was in of the more flavorful squid dishes I’ve had in a minute. I finished off with some General Tso’s chicken and a more boozy drink called “trust the next drink” which as a great finish to a day off wandering around Portland. I will absolutely be coming back soon.“

“OMG! This was my first time here and Jason took care of us!! All my friends and I work in the industry and had no choice but to show up almost an hour before close. Jason made it such a memorable moment for my friends birthday. Will definitely be back again for Jason!!“

“I love this place. I’ve been several times and had a variety of dishes. I especially love the Chinese burrito. Everything I’ve eaten has been hot, fresh, and flavorful. Portions are generous. I live nearby so it’s one of my go-tos when I want a quick tasty meal.“

“The service could not have been better! I forget our servers name which I feel so bad about but she was funny and very nice! The food, as always was to die for. The albacore, the noodles and chicken dish, and the black pepper shrimp were fabulous! Definitely don't skip dessert and 10/10 drinks! The coconut shake was phenomenal.“

“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!“

“Really enjoyed everything I tried. The meat folder (roujiamo) was crispy and flavorful, the jianbing had delicious texture, and the pork dumplings were tasty as well. Nice flavors to the hong kong style milk tea and the grapefruit lemonade. Good food for good prices. Will be back to try more.“

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

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

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!! 😍“

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

“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).“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ordered takeout. Was suprised to see you can order a good amount of battered/fried items to be gluten free :) the sesame beef was amazing 10/10 the sesame chicken wasn't great because they use breast instead of thigh and the size of the pieces of chicken are waaayyyy too large for sesame chicken and that's coming from a dude who can take big bites. But yeah since they're so large and breast they're just kinda dry and un enjoyable I'd give them a 4/10. Now these aren't gluten free but the pork potstickers are huge and pretty tasty I'd give them a 7/10 and the fried prawns were amazing 10/10“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“Went there with a friend. Generally, the xia long bao were good, pork and the crab/pork, taro one was very tasty. But the black sesame one were way too sweet, way sweeter than at the branches in the rest of the world, so we had to return it. Sad, as those are one of my favorite. I can’t believe that the restaurant has to adjust sweetness level to that extend to make locals like it.
Service was good.“

“hood dim sum. attentive servers“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best hidden gem restaurant! The owner/waitress is so friendly and the food is amazing! I work close and I come for the lunch specials a couple times a week!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Disclaimer: the 5 stars are strictly my review of the food and the customer service given by the employees at BaoBao. My experience with the owner is a different story. If I could, I would rate that separately at 1 star. Read below for my reasoning…

The employees at BaoBao have routinely provided top-tier customer service and the food has been absolutely delicious every time I’ve dropped in. This has been one of my favorites (if not my favorite) dumpling spot in pdx. I’ve regularly enjoyed coming here to study and grab something to eat or drink (the rose tea lemonade coupled with the soup dumplings is my fave combo). It definitely helps that every time I’ve come in the employees have been super kind and friendly.

However, I am saddened to write that my experience with the owner has been uncomfortable and disappointing to say the least. As a masc queer woman who has been enjoying the food and ambiance of this business regularly I was hurt by the actions made by the owner: her moving to throw away my drink when I stepped out for a second, the gossip multiple employees told me was happening behind the scenes regarding customers (including myself), and my own personal experience with hostile disapproving looks in my direction. To my knowledge, no one else has experienced this. Furthermore, I was offended to learn that the owner had insinuated that I was only frequenting the business to try and “date”an employee. The fact is that baobao became a regular spot to study at, coupled with the fact that an employee became a friend. There was absolutely no need for the owner to question my sexuality or question an employee about a paying customer’s sexuality. As a frequent customer who loved BaoBao for the food, ambiance, and friendly staff not only was this very offensive and inappropriate but it was very saddening as well. I have not brought any of my queer friends back here and will be taking my business somewhere I feel appreciated. I can’t deny that this was one of my favorite dumpling spots in pdx, but I feel the need to distance myself from the uncomfortable environment it has become for me.“

“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.“

“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.“

“amazingggg chinese food. feels more homeade than other chains and their green beans and chili oil wontons were super good. as a japanese the miso ramen broth tasted a little off but still pretty good. the servers are also so so nice and even gave us free cucumber“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Been thru many owners here, best by far in the last 15+ years!“

“My family has been eating here for nearly 30 years. Still the best spot with friendly gracious service !

We love to eat the general tsao chicken, crispy shrimp and boc choy chow mein, sautee green beans, and salt and pepper squid“

“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.“

“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!“

“Yun Shui Teahouse is really pretty and has a great vibe. You can sit upstairs and look out at the koi pond and garden. The people there were super nice and welcoming, and they have delicious teas and snacks. They also sell tea leaves and other little things. It's a very cute spot, and it's perfect for a visit when you're at the garden.“

“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.“

“Our server, Jenny, was so awesome!! We will definitely be back!! We drove down from Seattle, and wanted some yummy food - great choice!“

“This place is so amazing and delicious you get SO much food. Can't recommend it enough. Even in the summer, when it's hot out, it still hits the spot! Definitely go check it out and try the hot pot for 2 if you're unsure of what to get!“

“Quite and friendly“
