Beaverton’s high-tech industry, multicultural neighborhoods, and proximity to Portland have produced a Chinese food scene brimming with authenticity, creativity, and community spirit.
Chinese restaurants here aren’t just stops for quick takeout—they’re vital community centers for new immigrants, gathering places for soccer teams and church groups, and Saturday-night table-sharers for foodies and families.
1. Szechuan Garden
The lifeblood of Beaverton’s spice-lovers, Szechuan Garden is always alive with laughter, conversation, and the nose-tingling scent of ma la peppercorn.
The décor is festive and modern, with big tables built for groups and a menu that swings from fiery dry pot beef to house-made dumplings, spicy green beans, and bubbling hot pots.
The kitchen isn’t afraid to bring authentic heat, but they’re just as eager to guide spice rookies through the menu, offering expertly tailored dishes and extra sauces.
Guests linger over family-style dinners, sharing tender cumin lamb and cold, garlicky cucumber salad.
2. Taste of Sichuan
Serving up the breadth of regional Chinese cuisine, Taste of Sichuan is a favorite among transplants and culinary adventurers seeking xiao long bao (soup dumplings), wok-fried eggplant, and perfectly crisp Szechuan fish fillet.
The staff takes pride in sharing new specials—sometimes flying in regional ingredients or drawing on seasonal Oregon produce for unique, locally inspired spins.
The cozy, brick-lined dining room fills with families, date nights, and groups of friends splitting billowy buns and debating the best cold appetizer.
For those who want to test their palate, the “fragrant spicy pot” is legendary.
3. Chin’s Kitchen
A neighborhood treasure for more than a decade, Chin’s Kitchen is where old-school comfort and Chinese-American classics reign.
Lo mein, sesame chicken, and General Tso’s come out lightning-fast, portions are enormous, and the staff are quick to recommend the chef’s current favorite.
Takeout is organized and quick—even at peak hours—while the dining room’s deep booths and cheerful staff make lingering over dinner a pleasure.
4. Frank’s Noodle House
Known for hand-pulled, chewy noodles and regional specialties, Frank’s Noodle House is the darling of Beaverton’s student and foodie crowd.
Watch as chefs whip dough into thick ribbons before tossing them in spicy Szechuan sauce, pork and cabbage, or stir-fried with crisp vegetables.
Dumplings and steamed buns are house specialties, and the minimalist décor and soft music provide a low-key retreat from daily bustle.
5. Hunan Pearl
Just outside the main city hub, Hunan Pearl is Beaverton’s standby for family reunions, business luncheons, and special occasions. Service is professional and quietly attentive.
The menu’s highlights include house stir-fried fish, twice-cooked pork, pillowy potstickers, and colorful veggie plates inspired by the Willamette Valley’s seasons.
