"A restaurant, bar, and butcher shop that features produce from a long list of local farms and Asian touches; acclaimed for its noodle bowls starring roasted and pickled vegetables, standout dishes include the spicy beef noodle bowl with ginger, mushrooms, jalapenos, 24-hour bone broth, and Korean hot sauce, topped by microgreens and edible flowers, and an asparagus soup with shiitake mushrooms, leeks, and Aleppo pepper. The menu’s “Things with Rice” section features a house-fermented and house-pickled vegetable bowl with kimchi slaw, while house-made hunter sausage with pickled mustard seed mayo appears in the “Things on Bread” section. The brownie is notable for using sourdough starter. Cocktails include a Bloody Mary made with Korean peppers and pickled leek brine, and the cocktail program is overseen by Jake Heil, an ex-manager of Portland’s Multnomah Whiskey Library." - Sharon McDonnell
