The Best Soul-Soothing Soups in Portland

"The city is home to a number of worthy wonton noodle soup shops — Kenny’s, Fortune BBQ Noodle House, Bing Mi — but ever since it came on the scene, Master Kong has served arguably the city’s finest rendition, with a clamoring swath of devotees. It could be the lightness of the broth, with just a murmur of oceanic brine; the handmade dumplings, light enough to float but still generous with their filling; the springiness of the noodles; or the pile of alliums bobbing like logs in the bowl — each facet is impeccably executed, and ideal on a rainy day." - Rebecca Roland, Nick Woo, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
