Xiao Ye is a neighborhood restaurant in Portland's Hollywood District built around first-generation American food — dishes drawn from childhoods in the suburbs of Los Angeles alongside recipes picked up along the way. The menu spans rigatoni all'amatriciana, half-fried chicken, and savory madeleines made with masa and mochiko. Jolyn Chen serves as General Manager and Co-Owner.
Regulars describe the cooking as elevated comfort food with creative fusion touches, pointing to khao soi and corn madeleines as standouts. The dining room carries a thoughtful, intentional design, and service gets singled out as often as the food, with staff known for genuine knowledge and care.
Xiao Ye has been named to Eater's Eater 38, included in Portland Monthly's Best of 2025, and scored 8.9 from The Infatuation.
