People always ask me what surprised them most about moving to Beaverton.
Nine times out of ten, the answer is the food.
Beaverton has quietly become one of the most diverse dining corridors in the entire metro.
The stretch along Canyon Road and into the city center has Vietnamese, Korean BBQ, Persian, Ethiopian, Japanese izakaya, Thai.
All real restaurants with real food, not chains filling strip malls.
Syun Izakaya has been a local favorite for years.
Khamdee Thai Cookhouse is the kind of place regulars don't post about because they don't want it to get crowded.
The Beaverton Farmers Market on Saturdays is genuinely one of the best in the state.
Just make sure you are prepared to stand in a LONG line if you're looking to get any of the fresh bread (it's worth it).
If you've written off Beaverton as a suburb without culture?
You're sleeping on some of the best food in the country.
It's not too late to check it out!
