16 Essential Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Portland
"Portland’s only fully vegan dim sum house has now settled permanently into Aimsir Distilling’s Emerald Room, where Cyrus Ichiza serves a Pan-Asian menu representing his multicultural heritage. Diners perched at the U-shaped bar of white marble and turquoise tiles nibble on chile oil wontons, char siu bao, and bunny-shaped bawan dumplings that are almost indistinguishable from their meaty counterparts thanks to fermented soy protein. In addition to traditional gaiwan oolong tea service, the drink menu includes aquavit-rhubarb Negronis, gin and tonics tinged with pink peppercorn, and pours of junmai sake. Those looking for larger dishes can choose from mapo tofu, adobo chicken, and a 13-herb noodle soup before digging into chewy five spice mochi doughnuts for dessert." - Waz Wu
