One of the great things about living in the Portland area is having so many unique local restaurants to explore. Recently, I stopped by Jing Yan Tavern, and it’s definitely a spot worth highlighting.
We sampled a handful of dishes, and the chicken wings were a standout. Jing Yan offers three different wing styles, and trying all of them was the right move. Each had its own flavor profile—from savory and crispy to bold and spicy—making them perfect for sharing.
Two other dishes that really impressed were the peanut chili noodles and the beef kimchi ramen. The noodles had a rich, nutty flavor with just the right amount of heat, while the ramen was hearty and comforting with deep flavor from the kimchi and tender beef.
Between the creative menu, generous portions, and relaxed atmosphere, Jing Yan is a great addition to Portland’s already strong food scene. If you’re looking for somewhere new to try this week, it’s definitely worth checking out!
