Chinese Village was a Chinese restaurant in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Description

The Chinese restaurant Chinese Village operated on 82nd Avenue in the southeast Portland part of the Montavilla neighborhood.[1] It had a neon sign.[2] The Oregonian said the restaurant "looks like what Hollywood location scouts must imagine a Chinese restaurant looks like, with blood-red walls, jade-green booths and golden dragons on the wall".[3]

The restaurant closed and was demolished in 2018,[2] replaced by Smart Foodservice.[4]

In 2025, Chinese Village was among six American Chinese restaurants in the Jade District featured in the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon's digital archive Behind the Wok.[5][6]
