50 Best Salad Restaurants in Portland

“Great experience. Had the bread and butter, duck confit, and orange cake. Duck confit was not super warm when served which was the only downside. However it fell apart, was flavorful, and had crispy skin like it should - so it was still very good... just wish it'd been warmer. The orange cake is delicious. The caramelized torched top gives it a crack and nice structure. Everything was well presented. Outstanding kitchen staff attention to detail. Server was lovely - non intrusive but very attentive. The server also provided other restaurant recommendations for my stay in Portland. The setting itself is also lovely. It's intimate but quiet. Would come back - great food and experience.“

“Our first visit to No Saint and definitely not our last. Clean cool inside with just enough decor to make you feel a little fancy. A wall of wine to choose from, good music and great staff. We had olives and cherries, bread, wine, pizza and dessert. All of it felt special and intentional with a lot of thought and love in to each item. I recommend a visit. We got there right when they opened and got a table right away. They do take reservations and probably is suggested later in the evening.“

“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!!“

“I haven’t given a restaurant 5 stars in so long. The food was amazing! We wish we lived here, we’ll definitely come back! The pork noodles were our favorite. You can tell the chef really care about the meal and the details!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“February 8th, 2026 menu & service was absolutely divine! Start to finish service and all staff present were absolutely charming and very attentive. Presentation was beautiful, the atmosphere felt very warm, cozy and inviting. Plates were absolutely stunning in all ways. The textures in each dish were just so perfect, exciting and unique. The flavors complimented each other so well and each course was perfectly balanced, flowing nicely into the next. Everything was absolutely perfect, the thrill of enjoying such technical yet plant based preperations genuinly brings tears of joy. Thank you so for so perfectly encapsulating the possibilities of plant based foods! 💚💚 We were happy to hear about the recipes staying and going from the menu, we couldn't agree more with the choices. The Kombucha pairings were magical. Meadowland was perfect. The respect payed to plants here, the absolutely mind blowing creativity that leaves you craving more, makes Astera stand out as a historical evolution for plant based flavor, technical creativity, creation, service and passion in the plant based realm in the U.S. Astera is heaven on earth. I cannot express enough gratitude for such a wonderful little spot, thank you for such tasty snacks!! We will be back very soon, hoping to experience the seasons with you!“

“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!“

“I’m Mexican…..and I’ve been a harsh critic of tacos in Portland. This place hands down has the best tacos. I’m just speaking of what they do specifically. They perfected it. Handmade yellow corn tortillas, perfectly cooked meats. Even the potatoe taquitos are amazing.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Was in town for a work trip, decided to treat myself for my birthday and I couldn’t have picked a better place. I sat at the bar and Andrew painted a pretty picture of the culinary experience I was going to be embarking on and followed up with a great explanation of each dish as they came out. He whipped me up a delicious cocktail that paired wonderfully with my 12 courses. Such a delightful and delectable meal. This place definitely gets a 10/10 Highly recommend! Their menu changes every two months. They were accommodating to my allergies and very warm and inviting! They check off all of the boxes for me“

“Excellent Reuben sandwich and freshly fried potato chips!“

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

“very delicious food and even better service.“

“So, I'll start by noting that Korean cuisine is not generally my first/favorite choice, but if friends or family want I'll go along.

However, this restaurant may have changed my mind.

As noted on the AI summary, service is attentive and the restaurant has tables and decor that can accommodate different occasions.

I'd never had cold pork belly before but it was delicious here. Their red pepper sauce is spicy without being overwhelming and was delicious on the tofu banchan as well as with the pork belly.

The fried lotus chips could be a good bar snack with soju or a nice first course. I didn't load up on the sauce but it was a slightly sweet garlic mayonnaise.

The barley tea here even seemed better (cleaner tasting somehow) compared to other area restaurants.“

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

“Famished from traveling, I decided to research options for a great smash burger. Farmer and the Beast came highly rated, so I pulled the trigger. Happy I did.. the meat was Cooked to perfection. Flavorful not greasy just how I like a smash burger. Will stop by again if I’m ever in the area.“

“Surprised the cost was more than Eugene.“

“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.“

“Fast friendly service with delicious food. Support your neighborhood restaurants!“

“Love this place! Been coming here somewhere between 13-15yrs. This was my first experience with Ethiopian food and I fell in love with the food! I've tried other places, but none even come close. Their veggie and beef combos give you a little taste of everything and the prices are very reasonable! Staff are friendly and helpful. The vibe is so enjoyable and fun. Highly recommend!“

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

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

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

“I went to Bar Loon with my daughters. We sat in an outdoor area, picnic bench style seating. I got the hotdog- super big and very tasty. The onions on top were cooked down to a sweet n tasty topping which paired so well with the salty hotdog, and a wonderful soft bun. My daughter had the double cheeseburger which looked amazing as well. The staff were very friendly. Self serve water outside which was convenient & fresh. Lots of seating inside & out. It was casual & comfortable- we had a great meal and will be going back soon.“

“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.“

“This is a cute place with a great bartender. The reason I'm going with 4 stars: When I walked in, due to reflections on the glass door I couldn't see inside. I opened the door and RIGHT THERE at chest level was the massive head of a giant black dog, about a foot in front of me. I'm not exaggerating - I am very short and this was a mastiff or something. His head was twice the size of a human head. I froze. I have been attacked by dogs before and this was a terrifying experience. It was soon clear that the dog was very chill and only wanted to say hello, but it's not ok to have customers surprised like that.“

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

“Great meal here — wings and rice salad and Massaman curry with Wagu were highlights. Great music playing but not a ton of vibe because it was a little empty—that’s the only reason for 3 stars on atmosphere. I think this is a total sleeper spot that’s going to get popular quickly — try it!!“

“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 ;)“

“had the acacia bowl! fantastic!“

“Fuuuuhhh this place is so good. Best food in St. John’s 🤤 I got the crispy duck curry all the flavors blended in together so nicely and the duck was so fun and soft to eat. 🤤 . Also best Thai tea 🧡🧡🧡 There was nobody there when I was eating but I think this place should be packed full of people.“

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

“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 would love to call Addy’s a “hidden” gem, but they are far too busy to ever be considered hidden! This cute sandwich shop is only open 4 hours a day, only Monday-Friday so if you want to try it you should plan to wait a bit for your food.

The wait is worth it however! They serve delicious sandwiches and salads, with generous portions for the price. I always enjoy checking what the daily sandwich and salad specials will be. They are usually creative, tasty, and healthy.

For me the tomato tapenade panini always hits the spot. They don’t skimp on the mozzarella! I usually get a turkey salad too, and it’s always chock full of cubed turkey and avocado.

The real pro tip here is to get some of the free sauces next to the water station. I love the green sauce they have. I would buy it by the bottle if I could!

The employees here are friendly! I mentioned that I wish I had gotten a side of the wild rice salad they had today, and the employee behind the register kindly gave me a sample!

Addy’s serves flavor, smiles, and good vibes! It’s definitely worth the wait for a tasty lunch at a reasonable price!“

“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.“

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

“the food is great‼️ the people are real cool 😎“

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

“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.“

“Very good food. Enjoyed very much!“

“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!!“
