50 Best Salad Restaurants in Portland

“All around amazing experience. Welcoming & knowledgeable staff, delicious flavors, and a cozy home vibe partially due to the fact that it *is* a home (located on the 2nd floor of a house). My friends and I had a great time and loved all the flavors. The duck was my favorite - others raved about the crepe and the black cod. I'd come back for the chocolate crepe alone 🤤“

“The restaurant is spacious and the service was good. Our group of five shared several dishes, and it came out to almost $30 per person. The seafood pancake and kimchi stew were both tasty. The meat portions felt a bit on the smaller side, but the variety of banchan was great and they were enjoyable as well. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.“

“Legitimately some of the best pizza I've had in Portland, and that's coming from someone who's been to almost all of the heavy-hitters in town. Tastes obviously vary, but I don't think anyone who likes wood-fired pizza will leave disappointed.
We started with the fresh baked palloncino bread, which was warm & delightfully chewy with a subtle lemony bite. However, it was super salty (and I say this a habitual over-salter). Thankfully the flaky finishing salt was easy to brush off, which tamed the saltiness. We also had the Belgian endive caesar. The crisp endive mixed well with the creamy dressing & the croutons were out of this world (not shocking, really).
For pizzas, we had the leek & hazelnut and the salami supremo. While the cheese and toppings were top notch, the doughy crust was the star. Perfectly charred, yet soft and chewy. Just excellent.
The tiramisu we had for dessert was also very light and dare I say refreshing.
Service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere left something to be desired, but wasn't bad & didn't diminish the experience at all. Just maybe not quite up to par with other places in that price range.
Overall, a great experience. I will certainly be back!“

“I like everything about this restaurant! The food was fresh, healthy and it was a fair price. I liked the help and the clientele and the general atmosphere. I'll be back!!“

“We had the ginger salad and mushroom noodles, and both were packed with amazing flavor. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the servers were so friendly and attentive too. Definitely a spot I’d keep coming back to if I lived in Portland!“

“An incredible place for a special occasion. Vu greeted us at the door by name, and he and Montana offered excellent wine recommendations and flawless service. The tasting menu was to die for- the maitake and spring onion with shallot demi glace will haunt my dreams for months to come. A must-try for vegans living in or visiting Portland.“

“Had a fabulous dinner here! The venison special was better than any steak I’ve ever had, and dessert was just as incredible. A true gem worth supporting!“

“This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in portland. Absolutely fantastic food and drink- everything we’ve eaten there has been outstanding. And the owners and servers just delightful charming people. I recommend this to everyone!“

“Langbaan is a fantastic, special-occasion destination. The tasting menu, accompanied by wine pairings, made for a memorable evening. We were lucky enough to get counter seating for our reservation, so we got to watch both the activity in the kitchen, and the team that was plating all the courses on the other side of the the counter where we sat.
The variety and creativity were spectacular. One example was a dish that looked like Pad Thai, but the 'noodles' were made from sliced squid. Each of the 12 items in the 5 total courses were described in great detail as they were being served.
Portion size ranged from exquisite small bites to bordering on entree sizes. All in all, everything added up to a perfect amount of food for the evening. I was pleasantly surprised by being able to get a reservation on relatively short notice, so if you've been considering the Langbaan experience, don't be discouraged by reports of how much lead time it can take to get a table.“

“Had the most delicious food and friendly/attentive service here recently! The food came really quickly and it was absolutely delicious. In Portland, it’s hard to find places that serve good food and have good service. Most people have great stars for the service, but the food is lacking. I’m a fan of this place and plan to come back! They are deserving of all the stars.“

“I've. eaten all over Southeast Asia including street amrt I've eaten at many Southeast Asian restaurants, including in Cambodia, Malaysia and Laos, and can unequivocally say this is one of the best meals I've ever had. Starters to dessert, the food was unique, inspired and full of multiple flavors. Bravo and five stars!“

“Excellent Reuben sandwich and freshly fried potato chips!“

“First time eating Ethiopian food, trusted the waiter to choose our food and wine pairing and he hit it spot on! Everything was absolutely delicious. So fresh and spicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back often!“

“Black Star Grill catered our wedding. They created an amazing menu and even delivered to our venue. Due to our covid concerns, they boxed each meal separately. This was very convenient to take home after the wedding. The food was DELICIOUS, even the staff loved the food. Many of our guests got to experience West African food for the first time. Thank you for being a part of our wedding!“

“This is the best Thai food I've tasted in Portland! Fresh, fast and made to order. They have both done in or take home. Either way it is fresh and yummy. Very delicious and great for families or a group gathering.“

“Lunch pasta dishes were yummy and generous portions“

“We were there for the first time on the evening of January 10, 2026. We sat at the bar for a bit because we were a little early for our reservation. Michelle brought us a couple of beers and we ordered a plate of six oysters. She chatted cheerfully with us while she busily poured drinks for others and then introduced us to her two sons and a son’s girlfriend, who all also work there. Everyone was so friendly and kind! When our table was ready, Michelle thanked us for being there and said that it was great to meet us. At our table, we ordered another half dozen oysters, a caesar salad, a couple more beers, and two big bowls of cioppino. Absolutely delicious with the large, thick slices of freshly-made garlic bread for dunking. This place is a true gem. Four generation of family working there and their love for the place and what they do shows. Can’t wait to go back!!“

“Really delicious salad. You can choose the premise or choose your own sides and dressings.“

“The best pizza I have had in a LONG time!! ❤️ 🍕“

“Deli made good food restaurant, outside frescoe atomosphere, good Italian food!“

“Amazing burgers !!! The beast burger was great but the beast of the sea was outstanding. It was definitely the best burger I had in a while. The fries and the lemonade both were really good. I would highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great burgers.“

“Everything we ordered was wonderful, especially the short ribs.“

“Good food. Great location. Good prices. Worth the visit“

“Very good food. Enjoyed very much!“

“Surprised the cost was more than Eugene.“

“Very authentic Ethiopian food which we greatly enjoyed. The restaurant is on the second floor of a building which does not look very inviting but once inside, the restaurant looks nice. We were picking up take-out this time and the order was nicely packed up and the service was friendly.“

“Came for some bites to eat, and a date night drink. Great ambiance and food. Lovely bartenders except they were the weakest drinks I've had in town. I'm not a big drinker. One is usually my limit, 2 for big nights out. I'm a serious lightweight but I couldn't taste the anything but lime juice in my margarita. I have a hard time with a lot of citrus so gave it to my hubby and he asked if there was any tequilla in it. Then I ordered a vodka/soda instead. Again, just tasted like soda water and ice. Worth a 2nd try, but we were disappointed.“

“Awesome!! So good. Excellent flavors and staff!!“

“My favorite vegan pizza in Portland. Try the cheeseburger pizza.“

“Loved it so much, I made a TikTok montage, because I'm corny like that, but that sandwich. 💯👏🏾😎“

“There's a lot of classy joints out there classy joints. You know, good bars, great service. Japanese whiskeys hiding in the nooks and crannies. The Gibson, though, truly outstanding service beyond beyond like, how would you even qualify or quantify the excellence of Bella? Not beyond measure, but like second to none service. Mixology, respect and love and just everything all stirred up (or shaken if thats your preference) into one perfect experience with a Christmas bow.
The Gibson has some skill dare I say genius with mixing, service and ambiance all around. I love what they are doing here.“

“Our first time eating there. Enjoyed the variety of bowl and sushi options with everything SO tasty!! We will definitely be back!!“

“Appetizer selection is priced a bit high. Lunch menu is ample and a good value. Dinner has a dedicated Kids menu. The range is from ala carte portions to regular plate meals to large combo dinners to Feast sized platters in styles common in specific regions of Mexico. Bountiful seafood selections. Everyone is pleasant and personable. I never feel rushed and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, appreciate friendly and efficient service and the wonderful food. Burritos are excellent. Chili relleno is authentic and absolutely delicious.“

“Delicious. Syrian/Lebanese - the flavors were smoother/softer than I’m used to. The pita was soft, closer to a fluffy flour tortilla, and the sandwiches we had that came in a pita were actually wrapped in a trifolded pita and pressed like a panini. The felafel were big and delicious. The baklava was in a orange blossom syrup and was perfect. The service was personable and on point. It’s on an active block of N Williams, so it’s a fun area to walk around before/after. Highly recommended.“

“We did not try the Pho, but what we ordered was legit. Bo Kho, thit Kho, and their fish sauce wings are excellent. Like mom's cooking and close to home taste.“

“had the acacia bowl! fantastic!“

“I ordered takeout here. They were super prompt and prices were fair. The staff was so friendly and the vegan noodle soup was delicious. The veggies were so fresh and cooked to perfection. The interior of the restaurant had a really nice vibe and appeared very clean. I will definitely be back!“

“Such a beautiful experience dining here. The atmosphere was incredibly cozy and welcoming, the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable settling into. Every dish was outstanding, thoughtful, flavorful, and clearly made with so much care. What truly elevated the evening was the team. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely, creating an experience that felt both special and effortless. Already looking forward to coming back.“

“Tikka Taco is amazing food. Indian food meets Mexican food. I work near and have eaten multiple times. Highly recommended.“

“Gluten free and vegan can't go wrong 😍“

“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.“

“I love City Thai soooo much!! Hands down my favorite Thai food in the city. Always good, always fresh, always smiling faces! I just got my 42nd order (just guessing) to-go and it's just as good as the first!! Do yourself a favor, and order the 'Oh My God Rolls' you can thank me later ;)“

“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.“

“The staff working this afternoon (5/8/26) were very friendly and helpful and asked great questions to ensure my salad was prepared as requested. I would say the service was above and beyond and the food is healthy and fresh. I would definitely go here again on my next trip!“

“Cool, casual vibe. My party ordered our food to go. Out food was prepared rather quickly. Nice dining room. They had outdoor seating out front along with a back patio. Service was very friendly, and quick. Food was outstanding! Great burritos and.bowls!! Smoothie was so refreshing, mango peach lemon. And their giant chocolate chip sea salt cookie was awesome! I look forward to visiting again and highly recommend!!“

“everything that you injoy eating for breakfast ,lunch and dinner. i highly recommend it.“
