Description and history

Married co-owners Mariah and Thomas Pisha-Duffly opened Oma's Takeaway in April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when their first restaurant Gado Gado was closed. The pop-up has been described as "Asian stoner food". Later in 2020, Oma's relocated to the former Whiskey Soda Lounge space in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood, [1] serving barbecue platters inspired by American, Chinese, and Southeast Asian (including Indonesian and Malaysian) cuisine. The restaurant was inspired by Thomas' Indonesia-born grandmother, whom he called Oma. [2] [3] [4]

The restaurant closed in January 2021, [5] then reopened as Oma's Hideaway on May 22. [6] Oma's previewed the updated menu during a collaborative 420 celebration and fundraising event benefitting Last Prisoner Project. [2] Upon reopening, Oma's served food inspired by Southeast Asian night markets such as noodles, char siu , and Chinese and Malaysian snacks. [7]
