The 10 Best Chinese Restaurants in Portland (2026)
Portland’s Chinese-food scene ranges from longtime neighborhood spots to quick food-cart counters, and this list reflects that variety. Our ranking is built on Google review data and uses a Bayesian-style score that balances average rating with review volume, giving weight to both excellence and experience. The list was updated for 2026 to reflect current ratings and counts. Use it as a starting point to explore different neighborhoods and formats — from sit-down restaurants to carts and small storefronts — while keeping an eye on hours and reservation policies before you go.
This ranking is computed from Google reviews (our method). Listings marked Partner are paid advertising spots: they sit alongside the ranking without changing its order.

What does a typical meal cost at a casual Chinese restaurant or food cart?
Casual Chinese restaurants and food carts in a city like Portland generally offer a range from inexpensive single-dish options to moderate multi-item meals. Check menus online or call ahead for current pricing, as costs vary by format, portion size, and location.
What practical things should I check before going to a Chinese restaurant?
Verify hours of operation, whether reservations are accepted, and any parking or transit options. If you have dietary restrictions, look for menu details or call to ask about ingredients and preparation methods.
How was this ranking of Chinese restaurants created?
The list is based on Google review data using a Bayesian-style score that weights average rating by review count, so highly rated places with more reviews rank higher than those with similar ratings but far fewer reviews. The data set was updated for 2026 to reflect current ratings and counts.
