Oma's Hideaway

Day 1: 5-Course Inventive Southeast Asian Tasting Series

Opened just shy of two years ago, this Clinton restaurant has a night market feeling about it, as if you were transported to the most authentic—and delicious—eatery in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Esquire named Oma’s Hideaway to its 2021 list of “Best New Restaurants in America” and this year Eater has given it a vaunted spot on its list of “38 Essential PDX Restaurants.” Executive Chef Thomas Pisha-Duffly, of Gado Gado renown, is a 2023 James Beard “Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific” Finalist. Oma’s Hideaway, an homage to his own Oma (or grandmother) whose cooking inspired him, is a reimagining of the immensely popular psychedelic pop-up-turned-restaurant Oma’s Takeaway. With a live cooking station as a focal point, diners can watch noodles being pulled, meat being roasted, and a whole lot more. There’s a host of extraordinary street food-type items like corn fritters, sweet potato dumplings, and salted egg yolk curry fries, as well as items like baby back ribs with tamarind and fish sauce caramel and a char sui platter. “Portland’s most exciting new restaurant,” raves The Portland Monthly, so, naturally, we are over-the-top excited to visit! Oh, and please note that Oma’s Hideaway will be donating a portion of their proceeds from this event to Chef’s Cycle. For more information, feel free to visit chefscycle.org to learn about this important cause.
