• Indonesian / Malaysian • Southeast Portland

Oma's Hideaway is a vibrant, maximalist restaurant inspired by the life and spirit of Chef Thomas Pisha Duffly's grandmother, Kiong Tien “Tina” Vandenberg. Her ability to adapt, to make the most out of limited resources, and to stay creative while projecting warmth and brightness is the guiding force behind Oma’s Hideaway.Born during the pandemic as a pop-up in the Gado Gado parking lot, Oma’s became a permanent beacon of iridescent light in Portland’s Richmond neighborhood in 2021. The menu draws from Tina’s life story, taking influence from the craveable, soul-satisfying hawker food of Singapore and Malaysia and “turning up the volume” with exaggerated yet balanced flavors in Chef Tom’s signature style. Oma’s serves dinner accompanied by a seasonal list of hand-crafted cocktails and zero-proof drinks.

    This place is highly underrated. I had put off going because it is a chain restaurant. I have been to many steak houses and this is my favorite. The baked potato, salads, stuffed chicken, asparagus, both mac and cheeses and all of the steaks are always perfectly cooked and delicious. Love going here and they are always consistently attentive from the minute you walk in to the minute you leave.

    Fogo de Chão is one of the quintessential restaurants whose would-be diners had better come famished. With a literal parade of meats carved right off the sword(!) tableside, bolstered by an ample salad bar, there's likely something to delight most carnivores -- though you might be waiting a while for that something to come back to your table. I was there for one of their wine dinner series, and FdC did an able job pairing their foods with an assortment of fine whites and reds. Though I appreciated the gesture of wagyuu chunks served tableside off hot salt blocks, those seeking the finest in marbled beef should probably do so elsewhere.
