The Best Restaurants and Cafes in Portland’s Old Town-Chinatown | Eater Portland

"This cute, curated snack bar and market is, in many ways, a return to the building’s origins: Goodies Snack Shop sits in the space once home to Teikoku Co., a market in the heart of Portland’s Nihonmachi (Japantown). These days, it’s a fun spot to stock up on snacks, candies, and noodles ahead of a riverside picnic. In keeping with the site’s heritage, there’s a strong focus on snacks from Asian-owned companies and beloved brands and flavors from Thailand, Japan, South Korea, and beyond. Goodies also continues to serve as a community hub, drawing crowds with events and pop-ups from kimchi-making classes to Lunar New Year festivities." - Zoe Baillargeon
