The Fubonn Shopping Center is an enclosed shopping mall in Portland, Oregon. The mall claims to be the largest Asian mall in Oregon and lists 29 stores as tenants in November 2011.[1] The mall is located at SE 82nd Avenue and Division Street. It is anchored by the Fubonn Supermarket, a large Asain grocery and housewares store.

The mall was opened in 2006 by owner, President and CEO Michael Liu. Construction cost a reported $15 million.[2]

Fubonn's opening on SE 82nd Avenue coincided with an alleged and controversial move by Portland's Chinese business and residential communities from the Old Town area in downtown to the SE 82nd area.[3] Fubonn has been the site of multiple media appearances by public officials calling for action against drug and sex crime, as those conditions have long characterized the SE 82nd Avenue area.[4]

Popular highlights of the Fubonn Shopping Center include the large variety of produce at the Fubonn Supermarket and the So Kong Dong Tofu & BBQ restaurant. Also in the Shopping Center are a marble statuary, a tea shop and many small shops selling books and movies from China, Vietnam and elsewhere.
