The PEARL DISTRICT is downtown (our China town) has a lot of spots folks of various ages like to go. I've been to 2 places there I would go to again, but otherwise, it's mostly "real" Oriental food and that's beyond my like-style. Try this link and it'll give you a description of some of the places:

OTHER AREAS OF TOWN:

In SE our favorite Oriental is: Chang's Mongolian Grill or


PUBS with MOVIES:

McMenamins are all over Portland and quite popular with all age groups....
Each Mc has a name (i.e.: Kennedy, Bagdad, etc)
My friends opinions: The Kennedy School and the Bagdad rank 2nd and 3rd to the Edgefield
Ck the link out and look under Movies &/or Pubs for more FYI
