The Best Restaurants and Cafes in Portland’s Old Town-Chinatown | Eater Portland

"Republic Cafe, which celebrated its 100th birthday in 2022, is one of the few operational vestiges of Portland’s Chinatown, decked out in murals and red-and-gold regalia. And there’s no better place to soak up some nostalgia and dig into Chinese American classics like chop suey and kung pao chicken than in a brown vinyl banquette (ignore the duct tape) bathed in red lights. Bonus: It’s open until midnight every day of the week, and often hosts cool under-the-radar concerts and karaoke nights." - Zoe Baillargeon
