La Jarana

The Best Bars and Restaurants for Late-Night Dining in Portland | Eater Portland

"The pop-up residency within Grand Avenue cocktail bar Lulu, Jarana specializes in Nikkei and Chifa cuisines, a cross-section of Peruvian and Japanese or Chinese food, respectively, that includes long-beloved favorites like lomo saltado. The menu here has become more pan-Asian with time, though Peruvian influence remains present; rocoto-garnished oysters and bowls of ceviche join Vietnamese fish sauce wings and salt and pepper squid. A chicken katsu bowl, built on a foundation of garlic rice and finished with passionfruit sauce, is a strong meal option, while the chimichurri-dressed fries may be better to share." - Thom Hilton
