50 Best Chinese Restaurants near West Linn

“My wife and I order Ying Bun several times a month. We just love it everything is fresh and taste like authentic Chinese food. We have a standing order, that we order every time.
We start with:
1) two large wonton soups that has lots of big large beautiful wontons with fresh snow peas, carrots, celery, sliced chicken, barbecue pork and large shrimp too!
2) Number 5 Dinner that comes with Fried Shrimp, Pork fried rice, Sweet and Sour chicken, Subgum chicken chow mein
3) large order of crab puffs
4) large order of fried shrimp
This is our order, we love this meal. We get at least 3 meals out of our order. Always hot and fresh. We don't even mind the 20-minute wait time to make it. Just awesome to have something wonderful local because we like to go home put our pajamas on watch TV and eat all this food.“

“Simply the best ! ♥️ Great service and excellent food.“

“Just the absolute best. Incredibly consistent, astoundingly high quality. I would not have believed white rice and chicken could be this good. I’ve tried many things on the menu but I return to the chicken & gyoza combo. I actively crave it sometimes. My only regret is that I didn’t know about Lee’s sooner…“

“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 service, food, and atmosphere! Ordered crab puffs, gyoza, veg fried rice, Mongolian beef, sweet & sour chicken,
shredded pork with pickled cabbage, bacon fried rice, and shrimp Lo Mein. Everything was excellent. Fresh broccoli with just the right sweetness and crunch, sweet & sour sauce to write home about. Best Mongolian Beef we've had. Big crab puffs with lots of filling. The sauteed onions in a few dishes made me want to dance. Perfectly cooked Lo Mein noodles. This is now our favorite Chinese food venue. We'll be back whenever we're in the area.“

“While I can’t say it felt like China, I can say the food was pretty decent. It’s the kind of meal you might get in a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall noodle shop somewhere in China. Pretty satisfying food . It’s a cozy little place. Seemed pretty clean. Definitely an efficiency layout. Straightforward noodle and dumpling place with a few other options. The barbecue was OK too.“

“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!“

“Very good! Amazing and delicious. I will be back for more!!!“

“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.“

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

“hood dim sum. attentive servers“

“Amazing food! Friendly staff!“

“I guarantee anything you order is gonna be so yummy. finally a really really good Chinese restaurant“

“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.“

“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.“

“My good friend & myself had to make the 20 mile trip from North Portland to eat here! I used to live in Oregon City and always loved this place. Today, things haven't changed. The staff were polite & professional like before. And the food.....? ERMA GERD! SO GOOD.“

“The food is amazing, the prices are great and speed is fast! The atmosphere isn't the best but the food makes up for it!“

“The Salt & Pepper Squid was so good! The squid was super bouncy and tender—not chewy at all. Lightly crispy on the outside and soft inside, with that addictive salt and pepper seasoning that just makes you want one more bite after another. Before I knew it, the whole box was almost gone. Got a choice to paired with rice, noodles or vegetables, it’s flavorful but still feels light and not heavy at all. Low-calorie and delicious— it’s a must try around here! 😋“

“What a wonderful surprise! This restaurant was recommended by a family member, and we ended up making a reservation for our group of 12 for a birthday dinner. The service was outstanding from the first phone call all the way through to our server wrapping up our leftovers for us. The food was outstanding, generous portions, fresh beautiful vegetables, wonderful flavors. I would absolutely recommend them and hope to visit again next time we’re in the area!“

“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.“

“The food is very well prepared especially for special occasions. Beautiful room decor for events, meet the event creators request beyond expectations. All i can say is..”ALL OF THE GOODS, NONE OF THE BAD.”“

“We drove 5 hours to eat here! The food is sooo good!“

“Just arrived in Portland and this was my first meal here. It was fantastic. The soup dumplings were incredible. Possibly my new favourite food. The Dan Dan Noodles were a bit spicier than expected but still yummy. I went with a large group and they handled that really well.“

“Quite and friendly“

“Have been coming here since I was a kid, and will keep coming back. Literally the best food I’ve ever had. The egg flower soup is 10/10, the rice is always 10/10, generous portions and always the nicest staff. All other Chinese restaurants don’t even come close!“

“One of the most enjoyable restaurant visits I've had in recent years. The food was exceptional, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors in every bite. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It's clear that the entire team takes pride in creating a positive experience for every customer.“

“This is the kind of place you're hoping to get when you try a new Chinese restaurant. It's an older place but the vibe is chill, the staff are prompt and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. Ordered 3 combo plates to go with an appetizer combo and it was all ready within about 15 minutes. My broccoli beef was so tender and flavorful that the leftovers are good in the morning without heating up. We will be back.“

“We love just about everything on the menu our favorites are the savory dishes and of course the spicy wonton we will order thawed them with many of the other dishes add the spicy sauce. They also have Boba tea which is my grandkids favorite prices are great staff is very very good And friendly the restaurant is clean and comfortable“

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

“Excellent service, usually a quick and very easy option for lunch or dinner, dine in or take out. Some dishes are very good while others are okay, I suggest trying a handful to nail down which dishes are winners. Beef broccoli, schezwan chicken and beef lo mein are all good.“

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

“What could be better than a hole in the wall Chinese place? Don't let it's appearance fool you...this place is great! Best Chinese food I've had in a long time. Crispy fresh veggies in tangy garlic sauce and chicken tender and full of flavor. Super friendly staff and fair prices. A new favorite.“

“Came in for father’s day lunch, my family was able to sit down fast and we were served the way you would expect when eating out with your family. Dominic was amazing, fast, and kept the energy alive throughout our stay. The food was tasty, 10/10 will be back again, not just for our waiter but for the environment in total. Thank you!“

“This is our favorite go to authentic Chinese restaurant in Portland. The food is fresh, hot, and so delicious. The owner is very nice and knows us by name. It's nice to find a place in Portland where my family can order in their native tongue (Cantonese) and have a full conversation.
Our favorite dishes that we pretty much always get is the salt and pepper fish, sweet and sour pork, and the Happy Family. We've tried many other dishes as well and they were all very good.“

“This is a hidden gem on 82nd Ave.
Definitely not flashy and not easy to find but well worth it!!

This Chinese restaurant caters to local Chinese with authentic dishes and wonderful barbecue.

The barbecue pork is cooked perfect but slightly on the sweet side.

The mixed vegetable cauliflower dish is large and very, very flavorful for a vegetables.

The Yee noodles are cooked perfectly, not too salty and very, very tasty.

The chicken Chow Fung was perfect as well except could’ve been a little bit saltier - chicken pieces were tender, and the fun wide noodles were cooked to perfection.

The pot of tea is complementary as well as white rice.“

“Love this place. Glad Portland regained a good chinese food restaurant ! Went for Dim Sum for CNY. Will be back soon!“

“I love the food! The best and most friendly service you will find anywhere in the area. Always a great place to go. I only wish I had found this place sooner.“

“I have loved this place for years; it has always been one of my longtime favorites. The sesame crisp shrimp is my must‑order; it can be made mild to spicy, so be sure to state your preference, and I always get the sauce on the side so the shrimp stays perfectly crispy and I can add just what I want. I enjoy the tea they serve; I also love the cream cheese “crab puffs,” shaped like little crabs with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. The atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly; the food is consistently good and the experience is always easy and welcoming. I live in Milwaukie and still make the drive because they offer something I cannot find anywhere else. When my boys were young, two or three dishes fed all six of us; now that they are older, they each get their own meal, but it is still a great value for family style dining. I definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“I love them, I love their food, I love playing video poker there and there's a nice warm place to wait when you're waiting for your turn to play on the machines. The people that work there are always friendly and pleasant to be around.

Parking: It's kinda a small parking lot but there's only six machines anyways.“

“Awesome food service and everything“

“Wow...excellent food in generous portions. Affordable fresh and hot. Every item we ordered was exceptional. The servers were friendly and fast to respond to our requests. Sweet and sour spareribes are superb. The hot and sour soup was generous and full of meat and veggies. Unlimited tea and complimentary soup cups. Perfect. Ill drive from Canby to eat here.“

“The food seems more authentic than most. Although most dishes are spicy, their regular level is slice is very tolerable. Nice use of Sichuan peppercorns--everything warms the mouth without setting it on fire. I've had their mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, and beef with green onions. All very good. Looking forward to exploring more of their menu.“

“This is by far the best Chinese food in Portland. My girlfriend's family (who are Chinese) adores this place. We come here at least twice a month and are known by name.
Our favorite dishes are the Sweet and Sour Pork, Salt & Pepper Fish, and Happy Family, but you can't go wrong with most things on the menu.“

“Love this place for tasty Chinese food. I tend to get their family size stirfrys to get a nice balance of veggies and meat. Portions are generous. Family size dinner entree cost up to $20 with shrimp and last me 3-4 meals.
Friendly and accommodating owners.“

“I’ve been eating here for several years now. As far as the restaurant goes it’s pretty disgusting. The floor and the tables are like superglue. But the food is delicious and I haven’t gotten sick yet,so....“

“Customer service nowadays is a lost art. Went to Chu's for lunch had their special. I was waited on by Sam(Samantha.) She was very attentive, she was very good. The Kung Pao chicken was hot and delicious, the spring rolls were crispy on the outside and hot and juicy on the inside. Awesome place. I recommend this place highly. The tea and fortune cookies are complementary of course“

“We use to go to the Hi Hat in Tigard for our Chinese food. But they closed years ago. So we have been going to the place in downtown Tigard. And they are just OK. Nothing special. So tonight we tired Kuang's Kitchen. And WOW. The BBQed pork was very moist, the String Bean Pork was flavorful with the right ratio of beans to pork. 10-ingredient fried rice had everything listed and very good. This will now be our go to place for good Chinese food.“

“It's a hole-in-the-wall Cantonese BBQ spot. There are roast ducks and a whole pig prominently on display, a box full of bags of raw chicken feet right next to it, a whiteboard with prices, a couple cheap tables off to the side, complementary loose leaf tea if you eat in, and maybe 3-5 employees hanging around, one of whom speaks a little bit of english. You know what to expect if you have been to places like that. This one sports unusually tall ceilings and a few dim sum items in addition to the usuals. I did not think there were places like this in Portland.

The duck and roast pork were absolutely excellent, best I have had for a long time. The char siu was extremely tender and flavorful too! Next time I'll be sure to try the chicken. Service was... well, if you are a monolingual english speaker, expect to have some trouble and do a lot of pointing, but everyone tries their best and seems kind and helpful. Atmosphere was perhaps not great on its own merits but super authentic and I wouldn't trust a place like this if it looked too polished.

We ate in, which is good for sampling things, but I think the smart move if you know what tou want is to buy meat to go.“

“Pure Spice is now Happy Spice.

I spent almost an hour in reddit looking for the best dimsum in Portland and Pure Spice is mentioned frequently — did not disappoint!

Food is amazing! I’ve been to China a few times (I’m from Asia) and their food reminds me of the Chinese food there!

The lady was so nice too! Would definitely come back!“

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