• 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.

    We so enjoyed our Valentines Day dinner! The restaurant was fully decorated for Valentines Day, complete with candlelight and flowers at each table. Truly a sweet and romantic ambiance, and the food was, as always, over the top and down the block delicious!!

    Over all Chart House is a great place to eat. The only 2 things I have about last night is, it was a little cold, but it was also snowing outside so that could have been that issue. The steak I had, medium rare, was a little bland at first, but the flavor came when I started to get half way through the steak. I mean it wasn't bad, but I shared with my girlfriend and she agreed at first. But like I said I'm not complaining for what I got. I expected to pay about $300 but didn't know they had a couples special so I ended up spending $221 for the meal and gave a 59$ tip. So I am still happy with everything

    Tavern on Kruse has such a great menu with a diverse collection of dishes that I am always sure to find something that I will love. But the Ahi Tuna Burger is the only thing that I have ever ordered. It is absolutely delicious, and the crispy avocado is a special surprise added to it. I hope that they never take this off the menu.
