50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Portland

“Great value and fast service! But you order for yourself using a kiosk.

Vegetarian options: Veggie fried rice, Veggie stir fry

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options for noodles. And the rice dishes of course.“

“Judging by the look and feel of the place when you walk in, I was not expecting to have as good of a meal as I did. Prices were higher than I expected, but the cuts of meat were great and the entree was fantastic overall. I'd recommend they add something to make the place feel more homie, but the food itself was great.“

“The Meat Folder blew our minds. Had no idea what to expect, and it was absolutely fantastic. I could eat those EVERY DAY. Put chili oil on it if you know what's good for you. Everything on the menu is delicious. Just try things and enjoy.“

“These are the best dumplings that I have had yet in Portland! I was nervous about parking and found a spot immediately. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Our server made great recommendations for cocktails as well as gluten-free options. The food is beyond flavorful and delicious! I cannot wait to go back. Thank you for making my birthday dinner delicious!

Dietary restrictions: There were about 10 to 15 options on the menu for people that had a gluten sensitivity. My friend with the gluten sensitivity and was very happy they were many options to choose from.“

“Very tasty, I really enjoyed their Japanese Rice Lager on tap.“

“So good. All of it. Fresh, clean flavors. The humans working there take pride in what they serve, as they should. Each dish is executed correctly!“

“Came back after eating here a few weeks ago because their jian bing (savory filled crepe roll) was so good. It comes vegetarian by default and it's super affordable, lot of food, and packed with flavor and texture.

Also tried their wonton noodles (non-veg) which were delicious and flavorful and their vegetarian / vegan dumplings were great too, however a tad too sweet for our tastes. Their pork dumplings, which is one of their staples, are better.

Regardless of dumpling flavor, the quality of how the dumplings are prepared are superior since the crease on the top is thin enough to be enjoyable and the skin is just right. They are as good as eating dumplings from San Gabriel (LA).

Everything is affordable here and high quality. It definitely feels like a local vibe here since you get your own free hot tea from the front (I love their tea) and order from qr codes on the table. They also play authentic Chinese music too on the tv, not just play bland American sports.

I only wish they had more sauces like red vinegar (for wonton) and more options for my vegetarians friends. Otherwise, still very delicious and will be back to try more dishes“

“Amazing food! Friendly staff!“

“Always a great experience, this was our first time at the pioneer square location but it did not disappoint! The XLB’s are the staple ofcourse, but the pork chop fried rice and spicy wontons are delightful as well. Our kids love it, and the staff was extremely patient and kind.

To finish off the night we had the chocolate dumplings which are our absolute favorite! But we got the salted whip cream on our waiters recommendation and we will never order them without it again. 10/10!

Made for a great bday dinner for my wife.

Kid-friendliness: Staff is very kind and patient“

“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.“

“great vibe and comfortable. this is as they position it: a bar that has accompanying food and not vice-versa.

you don’t go for the food. its over priced, trying to hard to be cool-ethnic….almost self conscious in its drive to be hip with small portions, as if to signals the quality. it tries to incorporate the taste elements of the culture, but the items i had fall a bit short…almost bland. good for IG eyes but it is the mouth that counts.

contrast this to lulu where the deep ethnic menu is a “hidden treasure” and treat inside a great cocktail lounge. the bar appearance gives you no hint to the great execution that hides behind the curtain. the food is great and well priced. it is about execution and is not self conscious. it works.

silk roads could do it; focus on the value and have fun with it.“

“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!“

“First visit today. Throwback pricing, truly. I don't know how it works but they are charging what I would have expected to pay ten years ago. It was a great value. No, it isn't pretty outside. That does not matter. I can't believe somebody left a bad review based on that, while never having eaten here. It was plenty comfortable and the service was fast and friendly enough. The food was very good. We will be back.“

“This is a 9-people group dinner for us! We ordered around 9 dishes!! They offer both authentic Sichuan spicy food and American Chinese food like sweet and sour fish! The most amazing fish is the salty egg yolk with the shrimp!! Definitely try that!!

Maybe you don’t want to order the sweet and sour fish if you want to try the AUTHENTIC Chinese food???!!! I would really skip all sweet and sour options in the dish for Chinese restaurants in the USA, not because that those dishes do not exist in China, but that dishes are generally adapted to the local flavors so it does not taste right for me ?!!

Overall the service is really nice, and the food delivery speed is really fast! We end up splitting the check to 9 cards and they accept it!

Vegetarian options: There are always pure vegetable dishes in this restaurant!“

“Clearly, this is a hotspot for lunch, because everyone attending the AEA conference was in this one little place. Their chicken curry, red bean, and spicy tofu baos were incredible, and worth the long line! I also enjoyed the cucumber salad and lemonade.“

“We were looking for a nice restaurant with my husband and saw some mixed opinions about here so we decided to try. It’s so worth it !!! I loved the dining atmosphere, the lady that served us was also super friendly and cheerful. We recommend the wontons and we also loved the vegetables with broccoli and warsugai chicken. We will come back for sure :)“

“This place took over what used to be Pot & Spicy. The interior is pretty much the same - nice and simple. The food offerings was a bit similar to before. We ordered a few skewers and a bowl of Beef Golden Soup to share. The server was friendly and quick to get our order in. The bacon needle mushroom and beef skewers were tasty, as well as the chicken heart skewers. The popcorn chicken could have used a better batter, in my opinion. It was more of a panko coat to it and needed more spice to it. The Beef Golden Soup was flavorful, and I enjoyed it.“

“We loved the atmosphere of this place! The food was also one of the best that I’ve had in a long time! Definitely recommend the Chinese Sashimi, Kuay Teow Kua Gai (if you like spicy, this is great!!), and the spicy chicken cashew (the chicken was so soft and tasty!!!). Not only Nikki, our server was very knowledgeable. Every person that came to our table to drop off a plate, would go over what it contained and their own suggestions on how to eat it. 100% worth it!“

“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“

“hood dim sum. attentive servers“

“Craving something a little adventurous tonight, decided to see what the hype was about. Totally efficient ordering and pickup. Sooooo delicious - wish I had ordered MANY orders of the dumplings. Next time! Every bite a new taste sensation. This is why we ❤️ restaurants!“

“Stopped in for a late lunch. The restaurant was empty with good service and friendly staff. Basic simple decor with a bit of clutter, similar to what I’ve seen in other small Asian restaurants around the country. We ordered dim sum and a couple of other dishes. Everything was delicious! Pork and egg curd buns were so fluffy and soft! If you like to order a lot of things to try, beware their portions were large for everything including the dim sum.“

“Went here last night for dinner and it’s hands down now our favorite dumpling restaurant ? the food was AMAZING, we definitely ordered with our stomachs. I will say the pork and cabbage wontons, as well as the crab and pork I think, were our least favorite. The crab one was a bit too fishy. Other than that everything was 10/10. The chili wontons, wonton soup, pork & chive, green beans, cucumber salad are sooo yummy. I’ll definitely go out of my way and drive over an hour to come back here again. The service was fast, and our waiter was super friendly and even helped us pack all our leftovers.“

“Delicious handmade noodles from a food truck? Yes, please! The flavors are fantastic and the noodles are soooo good. Just make sure you ask about spiciness if that is an issue for you because when they make something spicy, they mean it! I absolutely recommend the chao mian in mild and the pork dumplings.“

“Best food, best staff ❤️ We love XLB“

“On god I would choose their fried chicken rice bowl as my last meal. I've tried a few other things on their menu and enjoyed them, but the fried chicken rice bowl is where it's at. The only dish I haven't enjoyed is the rice tots but other people I've gone with liked them so it's probably just specific to me. I never ever get sick of boke bowl and all my friends who I take here enjoy it too. The atmosphere and workers are chill also, I always feel super comfortable.“

“My favorite karaoke bar period. Atmosphere is fun and affirming. Great for parties! Bar staff are amazing particularly Paul who is an absolute rock star! Also shout to Dom, the KJ! He is awesome professional and one of the best in the biz! The food is not great, but if you need something on your stomach go for the pot stickers or the cheesy fried wonton thingies. Another plus- they have a parking lot!“

“We’ve eaten here over a dozen times now and it never disappoints - truly incredible vegan food!

The veggie pot stickers (a must!), veggie egg rolls, garlic cabbage, & crispy pumpkin are literal perfection. The kung pao cauliflower/tofu is delicious as well.

Super affordable, fresh and fairly quick. Wish they offered a way to order ahead of time, but not a deal breaker.

One of the best food trucks in PDX!“

“Best Chinese BBQ anywhere!“

“My Mala life is started from here and no regrets.
Always, good food from here. Guobarou is always served with fresh without old burning oil fumes. Not too salty, not too sweet. Fresh pork deep was fried crispy but also chewy texture. Just right with Goldilocks rule, just perfectly served.
Mala Xiang Guo could be not authentic like Chinese way, but That’s why I like it just perfect food for me. Especially, on hard day, the place could be rewarding.“

“Had the cashew/tofu/broccoli dish with brown rice. It was delicious! I make sure I stop there whenever I'm in Portland. Very friendly staff.“

“So very good, amazing food, great service and a community loving owner❤️ I send people to Mekha often and they love it too!“

“Delicious and service very nice,I’ll must back again 👍👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

“Staff is nice and restaurant is clean specially the restroom good service food is excellent highly recommended First time here from Vancouver Canada very satisfied“

“Right out of the gate service is very welcoming and friendly. Genuinely some of the nicest people I have ever met! And the food is incredible probably the best fried rice I've ever had! Today was my first of many trips here that I will make! 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!“

“They have Yucatán food so good the panuchos are my favorite 😋“

“I'm passing through the city and I love Asian food... Excellent service, very friendly and excellent food. You can feel the love and concern for their business, they even surprise you with extra appetizers... Congratulations!!!!
I will return to try other dishes.
Thank you very much.“

“Same as another review down there, I'm Cantonese, they are Cantonese - and this is the REAL THING. You *cannot get this BBQ just anywhere*.

The boiled chicken is perfect and when my young son ate it for dinner I could not feel happier that he was excitedly eating exactly the food I grew up on.

The roast pork is moist where it's supposed to be, and crispy where it's supposed to be. The char siu was perfectly seasoned, beautiful color, beautiful taste.

Meats, rice, greens. Done.
Will be coming back here again and again and again.“

“Outstanding food and great service. The owner served us and did a great job pointing out menu items and explained some things that were new to us. The food came out fast and hot and we really had a great experience.“

“Had the cashew/tofu/broccoli dish with brown rice. It was delicious! I make sure I stop there whenever I'm in Portland. Very friendly staff.“

“I’ve been going for years! Love this place!
Everyone is friendly even when they’re busy. Lots of food.. I always have take home. The dining room is large and bright. The lounge is very much a bar, but super cool! Good drinks and video lottery“

“The food here is incredible, we liked everything we ordered! The gentleman working hooked us up for sure and everything was fresh and tasty. We could’ve ordered one thing for two people because the portions were so big. Would definitely recommend!(To the person who complained about no crab in the wontons… there’s no crab listed anywhere on the menu and it’s very clearly marked as Cream Cheese Rangoons. They’re super good and you get 8 for $7 which is such a good deal, so no reason to complain there)“

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

“Alrighty, so today I tried out Jin Jin for the first time ever today after getting recommended them by my boss. From what I’ve heard they have amazing fried rice and food so I had to get some. I placed 2 separate takeout orders for their spam fried rice(my new favorite) and their Lapchong Chinese sausage fried rice. They packaged both of them beautifully in reusable Tupperware containers and the final garnish and look of my food was amazing. Taste wise, it was literally the best fried rice I’ve ever had and trust me I’ve eaten a lot of fried rice everywhere through the years, it wasn’t too oily and the taste of it was absolutely perfect! I could tell it was authentically cooked in a wok and seasoned by the hands of a chef who’s been cooking for a very long time and knows what they’re doing. They’re kind and very nice people who are really friendly and took care of my order and payment fast and smoothly.

The store interior is so welcoming and family friendly lookin; it’s just a classic small and aesthetically beautiful restaurant. I highly highly recommend this place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner for everyone to experience. 10/10 I will definitely be back for more :)“

“Love the retro atmosphere and a big windows where you could look at the trees on a rainy day with the fun red accent points Really sweet and attentive service. The food was solid and very generous portions. It did the job for a family of four. We had the grilled eggplant, the vegan pot sticker and the sesame tofu we enjoyed them all.“

“Really nice inside and prices are pretty reasonable too. Food is really well seasoned and drinks are GREAT. We got the soybean one, strawberry, mango, and grape. The salted foam was yummy and my favorite was the aluminum box beef noodle but the rest of the food was good too. Our waiter was also friendly. I recommend you try it out!“

“What a fantastic little gem of an Asian food truck in downtown! My husband and I ordered the teriyaki chicken and chicken yakisoba. I was floored by the amount of food you get for $10! Everything was so flavorful and delicious! Service was excellent. I was impressed that the truck was only run by one man --- and he really slayed in that kitchen! We will definitely be returning here to try more dishes soon!“

“Awesome food service and everything“

“Great food and portions are huge for a good price! I’ve ordered from here twice and it’s so good. However, tonight while eating my orange chicken, I bit down on some hard pieces which I’m hoping is just bone. My teeth thankfully didn’t chip but I’m definitely in pain after that. Not sure if I want to eat here anymore now. 🫤“
