Best Asian Food Restaurants in Hillsboro

"When New York high-end kitchen vet Gregory Gourdet took over the Nines hotel’s astro-sleek 15th-floor restaurant nearly a decade ago, it was better known for its bridge-and-tunnel singles scene than for its eats. Since then, the gregarious, telegenic chef has turned the dining room into a lively hub for creative, ambitious modern-Asian cuisine, a spot that transmutes Oregon’s produce, meats, and seafood into bold yet comforting dishes that sizzle and pop with chile, lime, and ginger. Visiting the restaurant, with its Vegas-style decks and unparalleled views of the city, is an expensive but giddy-making surprise: it’s as if you went into a dressing room to try on a pair of gaudy Ed Hardy jeans and came out clad in an Armani suit."

"After getting checked in at our hotel (the Portland Downtown Marriott Waterfront), got cleaned up, and headed to Huber’s for dinner (an institution) and Departures for a rooftop bar view. I’d give both a skip—Huber’s food was edible but nothing special, and Departures was crowded, windy, chilly, and full of…not my kind of people."

"DowntownSure its got the best outdoor patio, killer cocktails, some of our favorite wings, AND tasty snacks but did you know it also has sushi!?. Top Chef runner-up Chef Gregory Gourdet does it all!. Check out his new house smoked salmon roll with yuzu kosho, miso-sesame, scallion, and cucumber."

While the Banh Mi and Vermicelli Noodle Bowls are a hit at any time of the day, happy hour is the best time to chow at Luc Lac."

"Luc Lac Vietnamese Kitchen offers Vietnamese and other Asian cuisine at an affordable price. However, this spot stays busy – especially at night. It even ranks as a local must for quick bites."

"Years after its climb from SE Division takeout shack to nationally craved destination, Pok Pok still delivers one of the best Thai food experiences found in America. The menu is a portal into the mind of chef Andy Ricker and an edible road map to the dishes he’s hunted down and championed for 13 years. Among the dishes that still make us feverish: khao man som tam (spicy papaya salad, coconut rice, and sweet pork shreds), khao soi kai (curry noodle soup beneath mustard greens, crispy noodles, and roasted chile paste) and yes, the legendary Ike’s Vietnamese fish-sauce wings."

"You can’t talk about Portland’s food scene without mentioning Pok Pok – a small, modern space dishing out Southeast Asian-inspired eats. Pok Pok has had so much success that it now has four locations in Portland, as well as one in New York and Los Angeles. Chef Andy Ricker, the mastermind behind Pok Pok’s celebrated Thai street food, showcases creative family-style dishes – fish sauce wings, Thai herbal salad with coconut dressing, charcoal-grilled boar collar with mustard greens – alongside an innovative cocktail menu."

"2518 NE 82nd As far as I’m concerned, this is the best pho in town. The huge banquet hall can fill up during weekend hours, but if you go for an early lunch on a weekday, it’s likely to be you and a few older Vietnamese guys, slurping up vermicelli noodles and rare steak slices that cook in the rich five-spice and anise-tinged broth. My order is a small No. 2, with noodles, round steak, flank, fatty brisket, tendon, and tripe for $9.95."

"427 SW Stark One comes to the Chez Dodo food cart for Shyamosas ($5-6). I’ve gobbled down a big mound of their spicy, oily Mine Frire yakisoba noodles ($7-12) many times too. Whatever you order from Chez Dodo is guaranteed to fill you up, but those Shyamosas—fried pastries the size of two fists, full of spiced potatoes, vegetables, and meat—are the best thing on the menu."

"Owner Shyam Dausoa opened Chez Dodo last year as an extension of his pre-packaged Mauritian food business. From his breezy cart, Dausoa pan-fries noodles with turmeric, stirs spicy lamb curry and tops elephantine samosas with mint-cilantro chutney and sweet chili sauce for a dish that he promises will "fill a vegan customer's life with excitement and happiness."

"Sitting at the crossroads of North and Northeast Portland, Park the Carts offers a variety of options, including several Black-owned carts, as well as indoor and outdoor seating. Sample a rotating menu of Hawaiian classics from the acclaimed Grind Wit Tryz or go for the melt-in-your-mouth barbecue from Premium Smokehouse PDX. If a classic—but by no means ordinary—burger is your jam, then Union Burger will not disappoint."

"Park the Carts is your one-stop destination in North Portland for some of the best Northwest cuisine in the city, from savory BBQ to sassy Thai delicacies. No matter what you order, cool down at their K-Pub, which has a variety of beer and soft drinks. Park the Carts has ample seating inside and out, plus live music on select weekends!"

"Sushi Ki-Ichi is a casual Japanese sushi restaurant that welcomes customers with a family-like atmosphere and serves guests fresh, affordable, authentic, and traditional Japanese food. Location: 11940 SW Pacific Highway, TigardPhone: 503-992-6389Facebook | Instagram"

"The gigundo sushi-burrito by the one and only Rollin Fresh NW food cart is a PDX bucket list worthy food item to try!. Learn how the Portland food carts owner, Ryan Moy, from Rollin’ Fresh NW changed career paths and started selling sushi burritos in PDX. The sushirittos come loaded with tasty ingredients including made-from-scratch sauces, crunchy tempura, and the freshest fish cut right there in the cart."

"The Northern Lights comes with salmon, shrimp tempura, ginger guac, veggies, aioli and sushi rice rolled up in nori instead of a tortilla ($10; you can also get it on a bed of sushi rice or spring greens). Just like the pod, also home to Armenian food, spaghetti, barbecue and more, there’s something for everyone: Rollin’ Fresh has vegan options as well as deep-fried sushi burritos and Spam musubi."

"Another ramen hotspot in Beaverton, Yuzu quietly houses a treasure trove of izakaya dishes (though the menu is more abbreviated than it once was). Sure, Yuzu serves traditional izakaya fare like pan-fried gyoza and agedashi tofu, but the menu really stands out thanks to dishes like “Mr. Nakano’s Fried Sausage,” breaded and fried sausages served like tonkatsu, as well as its wafu Japanese-style caesar salad with parmesan, fried gobo, and creamy miso dressing."

"Named after the Japanese citrus fruit, Yuzu is offers basic Japanese staples, just like a neighborhood izakaya in Japan would. There are wooden plates with Japanese words on it on the window, which is a typical Japanese style menu that changes daily. People come here for the at-home atmosphere and friendly service."

"The Original Dinerant is a delightful Portland diner that has been featured on Food Network's popular show Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, noted for its modern twists on classic midcentury American diner favorites. The downtown diner, which was opened in 2009 by executive chef AJ Voytko, is housed within a hip bi-level dining space offering booth and counter seating. Diners can enjoy all-day breakfast selections like Oregon steelhead Benedicts, Denver omelettes, and steak and eggs platters, complemented by Stumptown Coffee, Steven Smith Tea, or a selection of classic hand-dipped milkshakes and housemade sodas."

"A blue-collar counter operation nestled between the Pearl and Old Town, Fuller's has a U-shaped counter and friendly -- mostly older -- staff that make it feel like something you'd find on the way out of town, not a few blocks from what people consider the yuppie neighborhood. The food is inexpensive but delicious. And it's not trying to be anything other than a place for properly cooked eggs, crispy hash browns, and a seemingly never-ending cup of hot coffee."

"When breakfast calls for no more than greasy spoon simplicity and endless coffee refills, there’s nothing like Fuller’s. This institution has been serving Portlanders since the 1940s, and managed to weather the trials of the pandemic despite its intimate interior. Sure, people can’t sit at the bar and eat breakfast, but customers can order Monte Cristos and massive Pigs in a Blanket online for takeout."

"It's been around since 1941, and when you slide under the W-shaped counter your knees will tell you that folks were shorter then. The food is so basic you really could cook it at home, but the ambience and shared conversation around the counter makes you glad something so old has survived in this part of town."

"Established in 1978, Bijou Café is a long-standing eatery that serves breakfast, lunch and occasional jazz dinners in a bright, airy space. The historic dining venue is located in the landmark Skidmore District of downtown Portland and boasts a lively dining room filled with natural light that is always warm and welcoming. Bijou Café supports local farmers and foragers by using locally sourced organic ingredients to prepare fresh, creative dishes such as French-style omelets, griddle cakes, tofu scrambles, egg dishes and Benedicts, steel-cut oats, housemade granola, and brioche French toast."

"The food here is absolutely amazing and the customer service is exceptional. The braised beef hash was to die for!. Words cannot even explain how good it was."
