Sprawling waterfront restaurant serving dumplings, noodles, and bao
"The South Waterfront outpost of the Seattle-based Chinese comfort food chain Dough Zone brings far more than its delicious xiao long bao to the area. The light-filled dining room also boasts beautiful views of the Willamette River and the Marquam Bridge. Tilikum Crossing can also be glimpsed in the background, with OMSI right across the way. The dining room is fronted by a towering bank of crystal-clear windows looking out onto the river, with the peaceful views complementing the menu of dumplings, noodles, and other classic Chinese dishes." - Zoe Baillargeon
"The South Portland location of this Seattle-born chain is massive, just off the water and surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The move here is in the name: The restaurant’s dough-centric dishes, like noodles, dumplings, and bao, are well executed and consistent, particularly the Berkshire-Duroc pork xiao long bao." - Rebecca Roland, Nathan Williams
"Like, right after this I’m gonna go to Dough Zone. I’m craving Dough Zone." - Thom Hilton
"Large enough to handle festival crowds. Offers steam baskets of xiao long bao, fluffy 'q-bao,' and travel-friendly dishes like chile oil wontons, noodles, and spicy beef wrapped in a sesame pancake." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"This Seattle-based chain now serves a wide array of house dumplings and dim sum within a sprawling Portland waterfront restaurant. Scallion pancakes arrive rolled with spicy, saucy beef and shredded lettuce; Berkshire-Duroc pork wontons come tossed in chile oil; and dan dan noodles get a numbing tingle from Sichuan peppercorn. All can be washed down with an iced passionfruit green tea or sour plum juice at lunch or dinner, and most dishes cost less than $10." - Thom Hilton
