Powell's Seafood Restaurant

The Best Chinese Food in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"A classic Portland Chinese restaurant, Powell’s has only gotten better over the years. The menu here has something for everyone, with items like General Tso’s chicken, salt-and-pepper squid, Peking duck, and a seafood combination pot. But really, Powell’s is one of Portland’s best spots for those looking to eat fresh seafood from a tank, which can be cooked to preference. Powell’s also has a large dining room capable of seating groups, and is open every day for lunch and dinner." - Seiji Nanbu

The Best Seafood in Portland

"SE 82nd gets most of the attention, but the stretch just a few blocks west on Powell Boulevard houses some true gems, including this traditional Cantonese seafood hall. Powell’s Seafood Restaurant boasts an expansive menu of generously portioned Cantonese dishes like walnut prawns, clams in black bean sauce, boiled conch, and shrimp in umami-packed Maggi sauce, each rich with smoky, caramelized wok-seared flavor. For those in the party less partial to fruits of the sea, the restaurant offers an array of chicken, beef, and vegetarian entrees as well. Drinks include modest wine and beer options, along with a few soft drinks." - Nathan Williams, Jenni Moore

"For Chinese food we go to Powell Seafood (67th and Powell) for the salt-and-pepper spare ribs that they braise, fry and toss in garlic and chili, and for the soft tofu topped with shrimp, ground pork and asparagus that, when served over rice, feels heavenly." - Thom Hilton

12 Hours in Portland, Oregon, from Breakfast to Late-Night Happy Hour - Eater Portland

"Most Portlanders end up missing the city’s best Vietnamese restaurant, a cheerfully purple-and-white cafe in an unassuming strip mall. Owners Christina Luu and William Vuong serve a roulette of soups throughout the week, though Saturday is easily the best day to visit, thanks to its cao lau. The noodle dish arrives with an assortment of roughly ripped herbs and vegetables, crackers, and slabs of pork and chicken, with a cup of soup on its side. Drink the soup separately, and let the main dish sit for about two minutes — that’s when you toss the noodles and toppings now infused with the aromatic, somewhat citrusy sauce." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
