AAPI Cultures in the Willamette Valley
Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities have a long history in the Willamette Valley—and maintain that presence today with all manner of restaurants and small businesses. Here’s a look at how you can sample a diverse array of flavors, patronize popular boutiques, and connect through cultural events across the region.
Salem, the capital city of Oregon, sits in the heart of the Willamette Valley and is a great place to find authentic, mouthwatering Asian and Pacific Islander-infused cuisine.
Dishes include wholesome and nurturing teas, Korean BBQ, Japanese baked goodies, and more.
