Beckey Bookman: Pork Belly Buns are so good! Ah my god! They're like a Japanese flavored taco of pork! YUM
Josh Pyles: Not your traditional Ramen, but still delicious. Pork Belly steamed buns were great!
Amanda Isberg: I got the pork ramen with pork belly added on. The pork belly was hard and had a strange flavor. The broth was pretty bland. Good miso Twinkie and coconut tapioca.

Korean Restaurant · 20 tips and reviews
Eater: Dinner menus riff on Korean barbecue dining, and might include salt-baked pork belly, wrapped in rice paper with pickled radish, or ember-smoked hanger steak with cabbage and scallion slaw. Read more.
Clement Chiang: Curry potatoes, pork belly, hanger steak, chicken soup noodle are my favorite.
Zack Kantor: My favorite stop in PDX. Both dumplings are a must!

Thai Restaurant · 23 tips and reviews
Alex Miller: Green beans and fried pork belly really hits the spot for curry!
Kirseá Hukenflugen: Great food/great value. I recommend the green papaya salad or pork belly & fried green beans. Plus, you can't beat a shot + a beer for $7. Get the sticky rice dessert. Try to sit in the tuk tuk booth.
Nicole Kasten: Hidden gem. Good cocktails. Excellent food. Staff will help you order appropriate amount of food.

Sandwich Spot · 78 tips and reviews
Nathan Kam: Sandwiches here are the real deal. Lamb, porchetta, pork belly...oh so good!
Nom Nom PR: Nice spot for artisanal sandwiches and quite possibly the best burger in town. Get the pork meatball Bahn Mi and / or the Double Burger, Lardo fries and a beer flight - you'll be in heaven.
Thrillist: A place promoting a pig out, Lardo plates meaty desires like their signature Porchetta w/ caper aioli & gremolata. Read more.

Ko Ricker: Stupid name for a restaurant, but actually really impressed with my pork belly mapo tofu! The flavor was great and the pork was so juicy.
Eric Schrader: Go-tos: Potstickers, Wontons, Pork Belly Brussel Sprouts, Sesame Beef
Roger 💾: One of the few spots in Portland to score XLB (soup dumplings)! Their mapo tofu with pork belly is so damn good, bubbling hot, full frontal chili flavor, a perfect rainy day or winter dish.

Hawaiian Restaurant · 52 tips and reviews
Serious Eats: Lots of authentic Hawaiian plate meals to be had, but the best dish on the menu might be the killer Aina Burger with kimchi relish and pork belly.
Joel Goldman: Pork belly saimin -- the Hawaiian take on ramen. Oh and shaved ice.
Alicia: Don't forget to order shaved ice for the end of your meal! Get it topped with condensed milk and ask for coconut ice cream in the center!
