Once a Portland suburb, now a culinary hotbed in its own right, Beaverton is where old Oregon friendliness meets the flavors of the world.
Bustling food halls sit beside Vietnamese bakeries, ramen counters, and Peruvian grills, while long-running diners never go out of style. Every meal here comes with a side of community.
1. Uwajimaya Beaverton Food Court
The city’s international heart beats loudest at Uwajimaya: this Asian superstore’s food court is an adventure—Japanese takoyaki stands, steaming bowls of Vietnamese pho, bubble tea kiosks, and sushi handrolls, all prepared fresh.
Regulars assemble foodie “treasure hunts,” mixing flavors from across Asia. The market’s aisles overflow with hard-to-find sauces, teas, and sweets.
2. Bamboo Sushi
Bamboo Sushi is the city’s sleek seafood temple—sustainable to its core.
The chefs work with local fisheries for daily specials: wild king salmon, Bigeye tuna, and even Portland oysters for the adventurous.
Rolls arrive as artful as they are delicious—vegetarian and vegan options abound.
The bar serves house saketinis and yuzu-spiked cocktails, and the dining room feels modern, green, and inclusive.
3. Decarli Restaurant
In downtown Old Town, Decarli brings rustic Italian fine dining with Northwest roots. House-made pastas (think: duck ragù tagliatelle, wild mushroom risotto), wood-fired pizzas with Willamette Valley cheese, and creative European desserts fill out a menu crafted for slow, savoring evenings.
Dim lighting and exposed beams mean every dinner feels like a little escape.
4. Boriken Restaurant
One of the only full-service Puerto Rican restaurants in Oregon, Boriken’s comfort food—arroz con gandules, roast pork pernil, sweet plantains, stewed beans, and golden empanadas—feeds a homesick diaspora and a crowd of locals hungry to try something new.
Giant platters and fresh-squeezed Caribbean juices make it the home of laughter and lingering meals.
5. Du Kuh Bee
Famous for their hand-pulled noodles and handmade dumplings, Du Kuh Bee’s open kitchen is always smoky with garlic, scallions, and chili oil. Shaking beef, spicy woolong, chewy noodles, vegetable pancakes—well-priced and wildly satisfying.
Don’t let the casual strip-mall exterior fool you—inside, the room buzzes with both Korean and American regulars.
