44 Best Soup in Portland

“We went for the last week of the summer menu. The restaurant place is converted from an old houses and therefore has very nostalgic interior vibe.

The foods are all very delicious and fairly priced! We especially like the chicken liver tart, the cube-shape Wagyu beef check, and the desserts!“

“Unbelievable amazing food lobster pad Thai was unreal Annie was a great server“

“AMAZING to say the least. The atmosphere, the staff, the food and the music were perfect ✨ I will definitely be back“

“I had a fantastic experience at Yoonique Phở & Grill! The pho was outstanding, with an overabundance of meat—something you don’t see often. They definitely don’t skimp on portions, making the meal feel like a great value for the price. Speaking of which, the prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous serving sizes.

The interior of the restaurant was well-laid-out, which honestly surprised me given the neighborhood. It had a clean, inviting atmosphere that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The service was also top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient.

Perhaps the biggest testament to the quality of the food is that even my picky wife enjoyed it! That alone speaks volumes. If you’re looking for delicious pho, great service, and fair prices, Yoonique Phở & Grill is definitely worth a visit.

Update to Our Review:

We returned to the restaurant and, as always, the food was excellent. This time, we tried the seafood fried rice, which unfortunately wasn’t a hit—it just didn’t land well for us. On the brighter side, the fresh lychee tea was superb: light, refreshing, and full of flavor. We also had the Thai iced tea, which, as always, was solid and enjoyable.

Still one of our go-to spots, and we’ll definitely be back—just not for the seafood fried rice next time.“

“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!!!!“

“I was hesitant to go here because it’s right on Powell and I didn’t care for the previous businesses that occupied this space but I’m glad I got over that because the food is amazing.

I’ve been very happy with their Khao Pad, Pad Kee Mao, Pad Cashew Nut, Pad See Ew, and of course their Pad Thai. My partner loves their curry.

The staff is very friendly and the environment is comfortable. Large bar selection too. Highly recommended!“

“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)!“

“We did the tasting menu at the chefs table with the wine pairing and two extra course options - 14 courses in all! The opening oyster course was THE best oyster I've ever eaten. All the food was outstanding, as was the staff & I can't wait to dine here again.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“If you know, you know — Kenny’s Noodle House is the spot in Portland for Hong Kong–style comfort food 🍜🇭🇰. The Wonton Noodle Soup? Plump, juicy perfection in a broth that tastes like it’s been simmered all day 🥟🔥. BBQ Pork & Roast Duck Noodles? Smoky, tender, and downright addictive 🦆. And don’t sleep on the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup — melt-in-your-mouth beef in rich, aromatic goodness 🐂✨.

Generous portions, wallet-friendly prices, and that cozy, casual vibe that makes you want to linger. Come hungry, leave happy — and maybe a little obsessed.“

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

“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.“

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

“The dining experience was exceptionally positive. The staff demonstrated attentive service, although the table became somewhat crowded with the abundance of dishes, potentially due to our over ordering. (really wanted to try the whole menu including dessert!)

The noodle plate and soup dumplings were particularly memorable. While we were unable to secure the reserved window-side seating with the view of the riverside due to our late arrival, the restaurant's ambiance was captivating regardless of the seating location. The dishes were well-prepared, flavorful, and enhanced by a touch of soy sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and confidently recommend this spot to those seeking authentic and flavorful Chinese cuisine.“

“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.“

“Everything from beverages to food, dine in or take out. Gourmet hot and cold sandwiches, pastries, soup and salads are all amazingly delicious. Whenever you need something for your get together or party, just ask Leo, the manager. He is so awesome, kind and accommodating.“

“😍 delicious at best !!!“

“Never disappoints. Great food, family atmosphere.“

“Pleasant surprise. We have never heard of this place before and just happen to be in the area when we saw this place on google maps. Very flavorful, delicious! I had the shrimp salad and my partner had the beef salad. Best salads I’ve had in a while. Would recommend. Order mild if you’re not an avid spicy eater.“

“Good prices, delicious & quick!“

“You gotta try Underbite. Amazing, reasonably priced sandwiches which will leave you feeling good, satisfied (with leftovers if you have self control... I didn't), and a smile on your face. Dodge is the cutest mascot a food truck could ask for!

Try the roasted beet sandwich (then maybe work your way down through everything from there)!“

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

“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.“

“The fried chicken with sticky rice and sauce is special. Really delicious. I loved that you get real plates when you eat at the cart! Fried rice was delicious. Skip the Pad Kee Mao. Fast and friendly service. Bring back the coconut water!

Kid-friendliness: Clean and open area for my toddler to explore. Spice level of food was also good for him without any modifications.“

“The cozy wine bar across from the Convention Center is amazing and a must stop spot for a date night, a stop before a show, a gathering with friends, or a happy hour before trudging home from work. Great wine selection that is updated regularly, there's a little something for everyone. The owners and staff are super friendly. Cannot wait to see what's on the menu next!“

“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“

“Our server was extremely gracious and helpful. One of the people on our table has stricter dietary restrictions and this establishment was extremely obliging in helping them find(and double check!) the right menu selection. The food and ambience was excellent!“

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

“I am definitely a repeat customer - this place is so good. I love all the different curries, excellent fried rice and the noodle dishes are delicious.

Great customer service too! The owner is so nice, super friendly chef, and perfect check out experience.“

“Turkey & Brie wasn't anything special. The Brie was nice, but the turkey was very dry and baguette was a little tougher than usual. It could have used salted butter to make it pop. Otherwise, the small sandwich shop vibe was nice, and I enjoyed the sides. I'll definitely be back to try some of the more interesting options and revise my review.“

“Good soup. Nice employees. Some place to get quality food quickly, but a tad over- priced. Don’t pass it up.“

“best soup ever! loved it since I got at Farmers market.“

“the only place to get buckwheat pancakes“

“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.
