Growing up, I used to love eating dim sum. As an adult I still do. Thankfully, Portland has lots of nice dim sum spots to choose from, so you’re never too far away from having some delicious Chinese cuisine for lunch. As you’d expect with dim sum, all of this stuff is freshly prepared and tastes absolutely delicious and most of these places are located in Portland’s Chinatown. Below, I have listed my top 5 dim sum spots in Portland (in no particular order)
