In Hillsboro, you know a great restaurant when you taste it. Whether you’re celebrating a promotion or just craving something extraordinary on a random Wednesday, these spots demand attention. They’re where reservations are essential, prices make you pause, and every bite justifies the splurge. Here are the ten establishments that define dining excellence in our city right now.
Nine Dang Fine Thai
$ | (503) 521-7478 | WEBSITE
Securing a table at Nine Dang Fine Thai during the lunch rush feels like a small victory in itself. The cozy yet modern dining room—essentially the heart of a bustling Hillsboro neighborhood—serves a $14 to $22 menu of intensely flavorful Thai classics. The meats and the veggies arrive with perfect texture, with just the right balance of authentic spices and fresh ingredients. Plan to spend a little extra to complement your meal with a refreshing glass of limeade or Oolong tea.
Little Caesars Pizza
$ | (503) 681-8600 | WEBSITE
Much like a hometown pizza parlor or grabbing a quick bite with the family, Little Caesars radiates affordability and convenience. Here, you’ll be eating well-topped fresh pizza and fire breadsticks during busy periods. Nothing on the pizza joint’s menu tastes revolutionary. Still, items like hot wings or fresh pizza will make you say, ‘Oh, this is well made, right?’ before appreciating the responsive customer service (which you might need for the occasional minor issue).
Bobablastic
$ | (503) 381-6365 | WEBSITE
Bobablastic feels casual, approachable, and somehow charming. Like the classic brown sugar milk tea with its rich caramel swirls, chewy tapioca pearls, and perfectly sweetened creaminess. Or simple cups of milk tea dotted with ice cubes paired with friendly smiles from the staff behind the counter. You come here for a quick treat with straightforward and honest details that feel comforting, whether you spend $5 or $15.
For anyone whose idea of fun is a reliably good boba, a stop at Bobablastic borders on the delightful.
Chopstix Grill
$ | (971) 864-6989 | WEBSITE
Craving a reliable spot where the flavors are bold and the portions generous? Make your way to Chopstix Grill because this family-friendly restaurant consistently delivers with its vibrant Thai and Vietnamese offerings. The menu feels comfortably familiar with classics like perfectly balanced Pad Thai or the crowd-pleasing orange chicken. But standout details like the rich Vietnamese coffee and the fresh ingredients in every dish are what make Chopstix Grill a go-to.
While the pineapple fried rice might lean a bit heavy on the oil for some, the overall experience—bolstered by friendly, accommodating service and a clean, comfortable environment—keeps visitors and locals alike coming back for more.
Pho Tango Bistro
$ | (503) 648-3542 | WEBSITE
This Hillsboro spot creates a reliable experience with a varied menu that serves as a testament to Vietnamese comfort food done right. After you enter the convenient location near the fitness center and Fred Meyer, the friendly staff with the demeanor of welcoming neighbors guides you to a table ready for families. This is a gathering ground for diners in casual attire to enjoy fresh spring rolls as love letters to authentic flavors.
Consistent excellence continues with each dish from the wide variety—like the perfectly balanced pho with its hot broth and noodles or the top-tier vermicelli with orange chicken. The staff keeps your meal running smoothly without slowing you down with service—letting people enjoy their quick and efficient meal.
Arre Burro Mexican Food
$ | (971) 224-9737 | WEBSITE
When you want to celebrate with a massive burrito, some of the best Quesabirria in town, and service that makes you wonder if you accidentally dropped $20, go to Arre Burro Mexican Food. The attention to detail at this Mexican spot is obvious, down to the perfectly cooked pupusas and staff walking around the vibrant, casual room with plates of irresistible platanos fritos. Arre Burro offers all things Mexican comfort, like flavorful dishes, a Cubana Torta, and fresh boba.
Request one of the booths near the window so you can watch the friendly atmosphere during an all-out meal.
Sprigs Grille
$$ | (503) 718-0007 | WEBSITE
Sprigs Grille’s regular menu is ideal for a casual Tuesday lunch. However, for special family gatherings (like a birthday or celebrating that promotion), plan for the roughly $25 breakfast buffet. While you might need to navigate the hotel lobby to find the entrance (so tucked away), the consistently fresh salads, delightful butternut squash soup, and resistance to making dining with kids stressful make it worthwhile.
Good Taste Noodle House
$ | (503) 693-6878 | WEBSITE
This place is built for lunch, mostly because it’s inside a strip mall, surrounded by other eateries, and every server wears some kind of smile. Translated as ‘good taste’ in English (conspicuously, there’s no pretension), the casual restaurant in Hillsboro serves an excellent salt and pepper tofu. If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying spot to (happily) enjoy a weekday meal, a visit to Good Taste Noodle House won’t disappoint you.
Godfather’s Pizza
$ | (503) 848-0100 | WEBSITE
If your family night also includes hungry kids, go to Godfather’s Pizza. Pizzas get delivered as though shot from some kind of cannon, but everything tastes incredible. No one does stuffed crust quite like Godfather’s, which you will be gulping down between breaths and bites of pepperoni, sausage, and extra cheese. So unless you’re treating a functionally patient parent to dinner, we recommend grabbing a booth for a group, soda-fueled celebration.
Quesadillas Michoacánas
$ | (971) 298-8184 | WEBSITE
Even though finding Quesadillas Michoacánas in Hillsboro feels like discovering a secret hideaway—the storefront is unassuming, the windows are shaded, and a simple awning marks the entrance—once inside, Quesadillas Michoacánas hums like any other authentic Mexican eatery. Friendly servers deliver plates with genuine warmth, eagerly explain the salsa bar options, and know every single dish on the menu, as if sharing their culture were their one true calling.
You are welcome, as is the array of quesadillas on the menu, the standout milanesa torta, and the tangy green sauce drizzled over everything for flavor.
