Nominated for Best New Restaurant and Best Chef in the James Beard Awards, Gado Gado is an Indonesian-focused restaurant in Portland’s Hollywood neighborhood serving an eclectic menu that derives flavors from owners Thomas and Mariah Pisha-Duffly’s cultural heritage, travels, and culinary backgrounds.

In addition to an extensive à la carte food and drink menu, groups are invited to indulge in a bountiful family-style, chef’s choice Rice Table dinner — Gado Gado’s interpretation of the Dutch-Indonesian “Rijsttafel” feast.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Thomas Pisha-Duffly

From the OpenTable editors: James Beard Award-nominated Gado Gado is what celebratory dreams are made of, thanks to owners Thomas and Mariah Pisha-Duffly’s colorful Indonesian feasts. Order hit dishes like the flaky Malaysian roti à la carte, or go all in on the family-style “rice table” experience for a sampling of curries, grilled meats, and clove-scented rice served on vintage plates. Enjoy it all in the charming dining room with custom bird-and-fish wallpaper or on the outdoor patio with patterned rugs and tablecloths.

    We did the Omnivore Rice table and it was really tasty! The clam curry and zucchini fritters were particularly good and we also enjoyed our cocktails a lot.

    Overpriced for everything to be honest. Good restaurant in the Old Portland and town, not too hard to find. Food was ok but the price was outrageous considering the portion and how much real ingredient it has.

    Food was tasty, but coursing was off. on prior visits our dishes came out in a steady pattern but this time we waited a while for the first few dishes to come out, and then the rest (like 6 dishes) came out all at once which wasn’t ideal as i felt rushed to finish everything or food would get cold. recommend only bringing out 2-3 dishes at a time please.
