Reviews for Taipei noodle haus in Portland, OR
It's certainly not the ambiance that led me to 5 stars. It's dingy with bad lighting inside, with an even more dingy bar area... usually populated by a small handful of old drunks. So why am I giving it 5 stars? Straight up, the food is awesome. That's thewhole reason they have 4+ stars right now. Most of their clientele seems to be asian immigrants and their menu is overly longand has a lot of items that seem a bit unsuited to American palates. I don't know if that means it's more authentic but I doknow their recipes are absolutely top tier for chinese food in Portland. I wouldn't say it's necessarily better tasting thanShandong, which is hipsterized chinese food with somewhat higher quality ingredients and a bit different menu than you're usedto, but they absolutely nail the chinese food classics you're looking for and you can get some really interesting stuff if youwant to branch out.

3 Stars - Good: Spouse: "I'm hungry." Me: "Hold on; let me make..." Spouse: "Can we get Chinese?" Me: [no complaints] Comfort... food at its finest - at least, for me. This was our go-to in PDX when we were craving Chinese. We found them during COVID, so wedidn't actually eat there. However, they were a 9 minute walk from the house. Always good. Always. Super fast and large portions- too large for just me. I took my parents by when they visited PDX, and my mom still won't drop how good the sesame balls were.Give 'em a try. Recommendations: sesame balls, chow mein, beef miso (massive bowl that feeds 4ish) Read more

Nice find for us, although I'm sure the locals know all about this place. They are known for their noodles so of course I had... to try it. Was not disappointed! Ordered the Dan-Dan Mein Szechaun Sauce Noodles and absolutely loved the noodles. The saucewas ok (first time having it), wish it was a bit thicker. Can't wait to go back and try another dish!

Noodle texture is good, not too soft or mushy. Broth is rich. Fried chicken wings are unique in taste in a good way.
First off this place looks run down and outdated BUT the food that they make is delicious!! You should dine in because when you... order take out you're losing a lot of the flavor and textures of the dishes. The time it takes to be picked up and then taken toyour home will take away from the quality. They brought our crispy sweet and sour pork out and it was the tastiest andcrunchiest sweet and sour pork I've ever had, it was like eating french fries because I could not stop eating it, it also stayedpiping hot while we ate our other dishes. The black bean noodle texture was great! The sauce is mild. This restaurant offers youwater or a complimentary hot tea. We took dan dan noodles to-go and that was also very good, they give you a lot of minced porkand the portions are huge, trust me they don't skimp on their ingredients! Our total with a pepsi was only 32 dollars for 3 hugeand delicious dishes (going to enjoy the leftovers later tonight). I also can see why some people say the lady here is rude,it's a bit of a culture difference I'd say, but to me she was not rude at all! Read more
I ordered delivery on Postmates. They packed a soupy dish (mapo tofu) in a paper container. It obviously leaked through and... soaked all the other paper containers in the bag. I tried to salvage some of the food, but the other containers were mush, soeverything fell apart and spilled into each other. Couldn?t even ask for a refund. I would not recommend ordering delivery fromhere. Read more
A former local bar until the late 90s now a Taiwanese restaurant/bar that makes the possibly the best Taiwanese style Dan Dan... Mein in the PNW. You can ask for extra spicy sauce; you could catch a sweat ???? The other menu options are tasty and all arelarge portions. Three dishes could easily satisfy 5 or 6 people. The Spicy Seafood Noodles are a great choice for the diner wholoves that combination. It's also obvious that the noodles are made to order for all the noodle dishes, which is an authenticancient Chinese style. ?????????? Read more
