New Tigard Restaurant Donburi Factory Specializes in Japanese Rice Bowls | Eater Portland

"In Tigard I found Donburi Factory, a new spot specializing in traditional donburi with a vibe reminiscent of the 21st-century bowl-restaurant wave. The menu offers classics like katsu don and gyudon (here labeled “beef don”) and the restaurant’s take on kaisen don—which they call chirashi don—featuring fresh raw seafood such as tuna and salmon alongside shrimp and unagi, carefully arranged on rice. From there the menu broadens to include poke bowls and teriyaki dishes, with sides like inari, crispy fried chicken, and a variety of salads. Recipes are set rather than customizable, developed by owner Zhongnan Hu, who has about 30 years in the food industry nationally, and co-owner Olivia Nasteka says the concept was tweaked to fit Oregon’s faster-paced, fast-casual lifestyle with both casual dine-in and takeout in mind." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
