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.

First time at this restaurant and everything was outstanding. The menu choices made me want a sampler platter because there are so many tempting choice. I ordered the hush puppies (so good, you’ll slap your mama), the pulled pork sandwich (a classic), and the banoffee pie (not overly sweet, but hits). Huge portions (took leftovers with me) and my server was so kind. Definitely will be back during my visit!

Food was scrumptious. Ahmed was a great, gracious attentive server. The Brussel sprouts were excellent and so were the coconut prawns.
