47 Best Soup in Portland

“I made a reservation for my birthday prior to their "Top 50 Restaurants in the U.S.," courtesy of the NYT, and I'm glad I did - reservations fill up quick. The food was great, but what really blew me away was their ability to be flexible. My husband was coming home on an international flight and his flight delay put us missing our reservation by 30 minutes and I got into contact with them the second that I knew (sorry for the 6:00 am text ?). Granted, it could have been a coincidence that day (it was a Friday and maybe there weren't too many people clamoring for a spot), but they were able to work with me and allow us to come to our table for a 1.5 hour service instead of a 2. That alone would make me come back, the food really was a plus at that point ? there are also nonalcoholic drink options that I really appreciated as I no longer drink. But yes, come for the food and stay for the service! Excited to try more of their menu next time.“

I thought the flavors were perfect, and not overly seasoned. Don’t change a thing!
Veggies were fresh, tofu had good texture.

Will be back to try more menu items! ?“

“Great pho with better than most cuts of meat. My wife got the pad thai and said she enjoyed it very much. Would recommend to friends. They were also very nice to my 2.5 year old daughter and were considerate enough to bring a small bowl for her to share some of our food with.“

“The absolute best place to get Bun Bo Hue!!!! Always great service and amazing prices for the portions. So happy to have found this place!!!!“

“The staff is very friendly. From order to table is fast. Never been disappointed with the food. When they're busy they're super busy and the hassle bustle atmosphere adds passively to the experience (in my opinion). Must try. We will always keep coming back (since 2014)!“

“Was excited by the daily special menu concept of this lil viet noodle joint. The food was mid-edible-decent at best, but the price is pretty high af. A bowl of whatever noodle is nearly $20! Now I know inflation is high but a bowl of vermicelli noodles in chicken broth with some shredded meats should not cost this much!“

“Excited to try out a new Thai place in portland. I had the opportunity to eat outside, which was lovely. I ordered the fried chicken in basil sauce, yellow curry, and a iced tea with coconut milk. The food was delicious.“

“Friendly staff! Great food and quick service! Thank you!“

“The food was terrific. Great staff and customer service. Fun time“

“Absolutely incredible dining experience at Laangban. Loved to have been able to experience Southern Thailand flavor in this fine dining restaurant. The vibes here are ultra cool and every member of the staff was so knowledgeable about the dishes and so friendly that we felt really comfortable eating here. You will leave full!! And each dish packed so much flavor. Fan favorites for us were the fried soft shell crab salad, pork dumplings, and shrimp relish.
Will definitely have to come back in the future“

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

“Finally, right amount of food rather than give you a huge amount of food and make you fat! Just kidding but yes, right amount of food and the taste is really good for me, as Cantonese. I think their noodle texture is nice. I already come back this place couple times!“

“Incredible food, funny and personable hosts. Our new favorite restaurant!“

“I have been eyeballing this place for some time & was not disappointed! 👌“

“This place is so huge and beautiful inside! Set right along the river with floor to ceiling windows, it creates an upscale dining experience or a date night. The food is served family sharing style and comes out as it’s prepared. Everything is delightful and soo flavorful. I’ve been here probably 5 times and each time has been the same for service. Younger staff, that seemed shy and quiet. Not sure agent to serve or seat us, but always polite though. Just absolutely silent, or barely spoke. But that doesn’t ruin the experience at all. I love the atmosphere of the dining experience and will gladly return!

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I got a blue mango, which ended up teal. that's my favorite color and it was pretty good, kinda sweeter than expected but the service was fast! they let my friend mix up a ridiculous abomination of a smoothie (carrot cake plus chocolate and pea protein) but they let HIM ruin a perfectly good smoothie with a smile haha“

“I cannot get enough of your vodka cream sauce. YuM!! Love, Love, LOVE what your doing!!“

“Elephants Delicatessen is one of my favorite places for catering events and lunch and don't forget the cowboy cookie.“

“New favorite joint. Best clam chowder ever. Don't tell the restaurants I've had it in in Boston. Great owners. 1950s Blues Music. Highly suggest. Off of 3rd between Columbia and Jefferson. Downtown on SW side.“

“😍 delicious at best !!!“

“Never disappoints. Great food, family atmosphere.“

“Good leisurely place for breakfast with outside seating, also for lunch and dinner.“

“After we made a quick call to them warning of our approach, PDX Thai was able to seat my posse of 12 and pump out our food in record time. It was all top-quality, and the service and the ambiance was truly wonderful. I had a great time there, and I'll definitely be coming back for more soon!“

“I love having date night here. The sushi and chicken katsu is delicious. Chef Marc and Polly are the kindest people.“

“Great service. They didn't have kids friendly drinks besides water but they went out of their way to grab a something for my kiddo and it was free. Food was delicious. Will definitely be back next time I'm up from Texas.“

“Good prices, delicious & quick!“

“Salmon chowder is spectacular. Amazing flavor depth with generous chunks of salmon.“

“As a sandwich shop owner, I must say, quite impressive and delicious. We ordered the Ham and Gruyere, Brie and cucumber, and the fantastic Duck Cofi and cranberry. Pure yummy flavors and the bread was crispy and brown and soft in the middle. Perfect for our train ride home. The staff were super friendly and our sandwiches showed up full of inspiration in no time. Highly recommended!“

“The food at this wonderful Chinese Restaurant is the best in and around Portland. I reccomend Springwater Station to everyone who wants to eat fabulous tasting Chinese food. I give it 5 stars. Marilyn Mock Peterson“

“I know it's not "real" Italian food but it was unexpectedly delicious. We pigged out on the salad so we could bring our entrees home for later. Raspberry Lemonade was so good. It was my friend's birthday and the staff made her feel like a queen.“

“Had the yummy Tomato orange soup mixed with half of the chicken soup very nice combo. Split some Chicken Strips and a cowboy cookie for dessert. Cute and cozy will definitely be back again and again.“

“Never come to Portland but we are here for a cheer competition and we accidentally stumbled upon this place for brekfest and I'm glad we did becasue the food was amazing the service was exceptional one thing that always important to me when eating out is the great service theses gals are top notch and the atmosphere was chill family vibes and clean.. we will be back and rave about this place to everyone we know. BTW also the homade jam. what an excellent idea“

“the only place to get buckwheat pancakes“

“Great classic Chinese food. The fried rice is delicious. It's a classic fried rice that's in the style of the mow closed Canton grill. It's not just white rice with a few veggies. It's darker in cor and very flavorful. Their sweet n sour sauce is delicious and not the odd colored neon punk some restaurants serve. This is our goto classic Chinese food restaurant. Their prices are extremely reasonable. A large fried rice and large order of SS chicken is enough for 3 adults in our family. If you want to have leftover rice, you may want to add an order. Huge parking lot. Full bar with liquor and video lottery machines, and keno. This has been owned by the same family for years!! It's is the only Chinese restaurant we go to. They do call ahead pickup and dine in. There is plenty of seating. There are some occasions where the food may take a bit to get to your table, but that's only when they're extremely busy and have larger groups. It's worth the wait. Oh, and the egg flower soup is the best in town!!

Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian dishes

Parking: 2 Huge parking lots on the north and south sides of the restaurant

Kid-friendliness: Hi chairs snd some American fare

“service good Food! awesome Owner! i have been going to this Restaurant for the last 20years♥️ the Best Chinese food! the Original♥️“

“Very good food. Enjoyed very much!“

“This place should be Latin and gay on Saturdays. On Sundays it is difficult to go, but there is no other choice. The organizers are creative and enthusiastic. $15 is a lot of money, $10 is still acceptable. They could improve the show. The prices are not so accessible.“

“The soups and salads were delightful“

“The salads were very fresh and absolutely gigantic! You could build your own salad or choose from a variety of their options. I got the vegan Emma's detox salad and it was great.

Vegetarian options: They have clearly labeled vegan and vegetarian salads. They even have vegan ranch dressing which is nice.“
