Vegan Asian spot: artful plates, teas, sake, dumplings
"Portland’s only all-vegan dim sum house is now a pop-up at Aimsir Distilling’s Emerald Room every Sunday. Diners can catch a glimpse into the distillery floor while enjoying small plates of char siu bao, chile oil wontons, beancurd skin rolls, and bunny-shaped bawan dumplings. While amethyst-colored botanical cocktails are quite a departure from traditional dim sum tea service, the swanky Art Deco-influenced tasting room with bar and lounge seating makes for an excellent date night spot. Those looking to dine out on Mondays can check out Cyrus Ichiza’s new Italian-style concept Spina Rosa, featuring tapioca shrimp scampi, spaghetti and meatballs, and caprese salad with vegan mozzarella rosettes — also at the Emerald Room." - Waz Wu
"In 2017, Cyrus Ichiza convinced countless Portlanders to re-evaluate their relationships with faux meats with the debut of his groundbreaking vegan Asian restaurant Ichiza Kitchen." - Waz Wu
"Ichiza Kitchen is a celebrated vegan restaurant that will take over Yakuza's current restaurant space, which is a few feet away from its new location on NE Killingsworth Street. Known for its vegan offerings, Ichiza Kitchen is expanding its presence in Portland." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Pan-Asian restaurant Ichiza Kitchen offers small plates and entrees, like chili oil wontons and vegan chicken adobo, on its recently launched online ordering website. Customers can place orders for curbside pickup, or add on $5 for delivery to most Portland neighborhoods." - Waz Wu
"This Goose Hollow vegan restaurant is super close to the Goose Hollow/SW Jefferson station, a MAX and bus stop. Not only is Ichiza’s tiny vegan cafe one of Portland’s essential restaurants for its meat-free mapo tofu and juicy dumplings, it’s a fantastic spot for elegant Gaiwan tea service." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
