• 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.

    I had been planing to go to Shalom Y'all for quite some time and never quite made it. WHY DID I WAIT??? The food is all delicious, well seasoned and the portions are generous. Our server had excellent suggestions about what we may want to add to our order. Since things are family style, it can be a little challenging to know how much to order when unfamiliar with the portion sizes. I was particularly fond of the baharat chicken kabab on a bed of mejadra. The flavors and textures complemented each other so well. I will be back and bring friends.

    This was our first time at Jeju, and we will definitely be back. We started with the mixed appetizers, which were excellent. Then had a salad and shared the bulgogi skirt steak. Finished with the Jeju sundae. Everything was excellent, and the service was prompt and attentive without being obtrusive. Overall an excellent evening.
