Malaysian & Singaporean small plates, creative cocktails, and fun vibes
"A newcomer on Division/Clinton described as a freewheeling bar and restaurant with boozy slushies and a to-die-for game hen—an example of the neighborhood’s recent arrivals." - Dianne de Guzman
"Going to this Malaysian-fusion-meets-stoner-food restaurant always feels like a party, from the first popping boba Jell-O shot. In a funky dining room decked out in marine wallpaper, diners dunk impossibly flaky roti canai in silky corn curry, dip fries into salted egg yolk sauce, and sip cocktails that might feature pineapple-chai spiced rum or gin with salted longan. The true move here is to order anything out of the charcoal oven, in particular the succulent, lacquered char siu glazed with cherry cola, available as a platter or as the star of the wonton mee." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
"From the team behind Gado Gado, Oma’s Hideaway offers outdoor seating both within its individual booths surrounding the front facade and within its titular “hideaway,” also known as its spacious and colorful back patio. Warmed by various standing heaters, diners can feast on the Malaysian and Chinese cooking, like rich bowls of katong laksa or wonton mee loaded with house char siu. Grab a seat at one of the restaurant’s front patio booths to dine among the buzz of Southeast Division." - Thom Hilton
"Launched during the shutdown as a pop-up by the couple behind the aforementioned full-service spot, this iteration focused on what could be executed nimbly by a very small team, serving "fun, third-culture dishes like Flamin’ Hot chicharrones." It was explicitly conceived to be run with a minimal crew and to capitalize on playful, portable dishes that fit a pop-up format rather than full-service takeout." - Jaya Saxena
"From the team behind Gado Gado, the rainbow-accented Oma’s Hideaway sees diners feasting daily on Malaysian and Chinese dishes, like corn fritters with sweet chili peanut sauce, flaky layered roti with curry dip, and the heaping wonton mee plate with pork and shrimp wontons, char siu pork belly, and chewy noodles. When available, the crispy filet-o-fishball sandwich is a must. In the warmer months, one can grab a seat on its spacious back patio or at one of the restaurant’s front patio booths, where one can dine among the buzz of Southeast Division." - Zoe Baillargeon
