In the shadow of the Cascades, Bend’s Chinese food is full of mountain-town personality—a little inventive, deeply comforting, and always ready for a post-hike feast, Sunday family dinner, or group takeout picnic in Drake Park.
1. Chan’s Chinese Restaurant
For over two decades, Chan’s has been the spot for big bowls of savory Mongolian beef, sizzling house-special chicken, and soups fit for high-desert winters. Its airy dining room, friendly servers, and huge menu win families and local workers alike.
Don’t skip the daily chef’s specials or the crispy pepper tofu for something memorable.
2. King Buffet
A smorgasbord of Chinese classics and sushi rolls, King Buffet is Bend’s crowd-pleaser—perfect for families or anyone indecisive about what to eat.
The fried rice, sweet-and-sour pork, endless fried shrimp, and mountain of broccoli beef are never in short supply.
3. China Doll
A local fixture, China Doll’s takeout counter and tight-knit staff have built a loyal following.
Try the garlic chicken, perfectly-seasoned broccoli tofu, or signature lo mein, and ask the kitchen for seasonal specials based on whatever’s fresh. The cozy, retro vibe and quick service give it a come-as-you-are feel.
4. Pho Viet & Cafe
Though named for Vietnamese cuisine, the cafe’s Chinese menu is a hit: authentic fried rice, tangy sesame chicken, and house-made wontons that regulars say rival any in Portland.
With free tea, good prices, and welcoming owners, it’s a go-to for a quiet lunch or a hearty dinner with friends.
5. Panda Express
Fast, familiar, and always reliable, Bend’s Panda Express fuels everyone from busy parents to snowboarders.
The orange chicken and beef with broccoli keep the line moving, and portions are perfect for grabbing a fast lunch before heading out to the Deschutes or Mt. Bachelor.
