Portland BBQ Lovers, Rejoice! The One Chinese BBQ Is Finally Back

🔥 Fell in Love at First Step! The Cozy, Casual BBQ Vibe The second I pushed the door open, that familiar grilled food aroma hit me right away 👃! Handwritten signs like “BBQ = Happiness” are stuck on the walls, the fridge is stuffed with iced beer and soda, and people at the next table were clinking glasses while gnawing on grilled chicken wings. Laughter mixed with the “sizzle” of meat on the grill—no stuffy vibes at all, like eating at a friend’s place. Even the staff are super friendly: they’ll ask “want more spice?” or “need us to reheat the skewers?” This down-to-earth, cozy atmosphere is way better than those fancy, over-the-top spots—this is how BBQ should feel! 🥳 🍉 Surprise Alert! The Owner Gave Us a Huge Fruit Bucket to Cut Grease Halfway through eating, I was just thinking “the skewers are so hearty, a little greasy,” when the owner suddenly walked over with a giant bucket full of fruit. She smiled and said, “A little soft opening gift for everyone—helps cut the greasiness!” My eyes lit up instantly ✨! The bucket was packed with iced watermelon chunks, crispy sweet grapes, and juicy oranges—plus a splash of sparkling water. Take a bite of sweet, cold watermelon, then a bite of grilled squid—all the greasiness vanished, and I suddenly had the energy to eat more skewers! This sweet little gesture deserves a 10/10 💯. 💸 Amazing Value! $40 Per Person (Tips Included) & Stuffed to the Brim The two of us ordered a mountain of food: grilled pork belly (crispy, fatty but not greasy 🍖), grilled chicken wings (crunchy outside, tender inside, perfectly marinated 🍗), grilled squid (chewy, sprinkled with sesame seeds—so fragrant 🦑), grilled eggplant (loaded with garlic, soft and flavorful 🍆), and a plate of fried noodles (wok hei-packed, perfect with skewers 🍜). We almost finished everything, and even had half the noodles left to take home. In the end, it was only around $40 per person—and tips are included! For authentic Chinese BBQ in Portland, this price and portion are unbeatable—totally affordable for students or office workers to satisfy cravings. 💡 Practical Tips: Opening Hours: Tomorrow’s the grand opening—definitely gonna be packed! If you want to skip the line, rush over during these soft opening days; Address: The One Chinese BBQ, 2028 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland OR 97214. Street parking nearby, not too hard to find; Must-Try Pairing: Don’t miss the owner’s fruit bucket (not sure how long the soft opening perk lasts—go fast!); it’s perfect for cutting greasiness; Spice Tip: If you can handle spice, go for “medium spicy”—their spice level is on point, not stomach-burning, just enough to boost the flavor 🌶️.
