Where to Find Food and Drinks in the West Hills

Burgers, Bento, Pho, and more between downtown and Beaverton

View as Map
Sasquatch Brewing Co./Official

The West Hills area of Portland is situated roughly in between Beaverton and downtown Portland. Though mostly residential, and rarely considered a food “hotspot” in Portland, recent years have seen places like Burger Stevens to go on to become city-wide hits. Large restaurant groups like the Sesame Collective have begun to open restaurants in the area as well, suggesting that the area is an up-and-coming destination.

Because the West Hills area is in both Multnomah and Washington county, it’s worth checking the county restrictions for the specific restaurant before visiting to check what level of dining is available. This guide focuses primarily on take out and curbside pickup, but some locations are offering outdoor dining. As usual, this list is organized geographically, not ranking.

A number of Portland restaurants have resumed outdoor dine-in service. The level of service offered is indicated on each map point. However, this should not be taken as endorsement for dining in, as there are still safety concerns: for updated information on coronavirus cases in your area, please visit the Oregon Health Authority’s COVID update page. Studies indicate that there is a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines.

Rough Draft Burger Shop

Copy Link

The burger cart off of Scholls Ferry serves no-frills, all-flavor smash burgers topped with American cheese, pickles, onions, and a special sauce—no substitutions. The wise move is to pair the double burger with waffle fries and a fried “broccoli supreme” salad loaded with peppers and cheese. Customers picking up burgers can also buy bottles and cans from an extensive list at Uptown Brewing on the same patio. Currently all burger orders must be placed online and picked up at the window. 

Phở Nguyên Restaurant

Phở Nguyên serves some of the richest, meatiest pho in town. Carnivores will find an impressive list of options including round, flank, tendon, brisket, tripe, and meatballs. For those who aren’t willing to risk driving home with a hot bowl of pho, Nguyen also offers rice and vermicelli plates loaded with crispy grilled pork and shrimp. Orders can be placed in person or over the phone. 

Thai Roses

Copy Link

This Thai restaurant off of the Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway serves all the standards like pad see ew, tom yum, and larb. The house specialties, though, are where the restaurant shines, with dishes like Thai-style grilled chicken with barbecue sauce, spicy eggplant, and asparagus in garlic sauce. Thai Roses is open for takeout seven days a week and orders can be placed online.

Barbur World Foods

Copy Link

Although not a restaurant in its own right, this grocery store and market’s deli counter serves some of the best Middle Eastern food in the area, perfect for a weekend picnic or a quick bite in between Zoom meetings. House baked or grilled pita can be wrapped into a beef, chicken, or falafel gyro to order or dipped into zaatar hummus or olive tapenade. The deli also serves pizza and sandwiches, both pre-made and made-to-order. Food can be ordered at the deli counter or picked up curbside.

The latest restaurant from the renamed and reformed Sesame Collective is a mix of Eastern European and Mediterranean cuisines, featuring a mezze menu of warm olives, hummus with burnt beef ends, and falafel alongside perogies and house-smoked pastrami. Located in downtown Multnomah Village, Yalla serves wine and beer in bottles and cans to go, as well as a house-made juniper honey soda. Orders for both takeout and delivery can be placed online

The Big Elephant Kitchen

Copy Link

Located in Multnomah Village’s popular French Quarter food cart pod, the Big Elephant serves Fijian and Indian dishes in an à la carte format, allowing customers to pick up to three entrees from a rotating list of house-made meat, vegetarian, and vegan stews and curries. All plates come with fresh roti, rice, lentils, and salad. It’s worth getting a side of samosas as well. The Big Elephant is open for call-in and walk-up orders 12 to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. 

Tastebud

Copy Link

What started as a series of pizza pop-ups at farmers markets and other arenas across town ended up as a cozy brick and mortar pizzeria in Multnomah Village. In addition to the thin, crispy pizzas dotted with black marks from the wood-fired oven (which are available for takeout, Thursday through Saturday), Tastebud now offers some pretty legitimate bagels. The Montreal-style bagels are boiled and then baked in the wood fired oven, and are available on a monthly basis.

Jaze Village Hut

Copy Link

This hut on the edge of Multnomah Village was closed on-and-off most of the summer, remodeling and retooling the menu. The new menu is a single item: a bowl of white or brown rice, slaw, seasonal veggies, and a choice of chicken, tofu, or fresh fish topped with a sweet, Thai-style herb sauce.  The hut offers a rotating selection of wines and beers and will soon have online-ordering capacity, but until then walk-ins are welcome. 

Verde Cocina Hillsdale

Copy Link

The Hillsdale outpost of this PSU farmer’s market favorite offers gluten free, vegan, paleo and vegetable-forward interpretations of classic Mexican dishes like enchiladas, chile relleno, and fajitas, piled high with veggies and served sides of garbanzo beans and quinoa. The cafe recently began serving a weekend brunch menu with steak and eggs, huevos rancheros, and breakfast tacos. Verde Cocina offers takeout and curbside pickup with order forms online, and delivery through Doordash and GrubHub

Sasquatch Brewing Co.

Sasquatch Brewing’s original location in Hillsdale sells cans of the company’s lauded beers and ciders, as well as a substantial menu including burgers, salads, and beer-laden mac and cheese available for take-out or outdoor dining. Sasquatch also offers home delivery of its wide ranging list of beer and cider six days a week. 

Phat Cart

Copy Link

The bento and sandwich cart that expanded into a downtown favorite offers most of the same menu items as its brick-and-mortar counterpart, including the Mr. Miyagi, a crisp fried chicken sandwich with avocado and lime aioli. Vegans will find the vegan bento satisfyingly filling, loaded with avocado, zucchini, crisp tofu, and topped with gochujang. Orders can be placed in person or over the phone and picked up at the window.
