Vibrant food court with bars, restaurants & a hip nail salon, plus indoor/outdoor seating.
"This food hall is perpetually popular for casual meetups — the patio is large, with covered seating available for when it rains; the food options are varied, from fried chicken to Korean ramyun to vegan pizza; and the onsite bar's drinks are strong and interesting. Note that things can get a little busy on the weekends, though there's usually enough space between the indoor area and the outdoor patio." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Anchored by Sari’s rib-eye bibimbap with gochujang and burdock root and Basilisk’s now-legendary fried chicken sandwich, this industrial food hall also features vegan Detroit-style pizza and a bar with an extensive whiskey selection. The centrally located communal seating area is ideal for friends and family wanting to choose different dishes and gather at both indoor and outdoor tables. As a bonus, it’s also dog-friendly." - Thom Hilton, Nick Woo
"With The Zipper, a cluster of micro-restaurants in a former used-car parking lot in Northeast Portland, Guerilla Development (the same company behind The Ocean pod, down the street) has proved that even the tiniest sliver of vacant land can be put to use. Paydirt, a popular neighborhood bar, anchors the pod; folded in are also four micro-restaurants serving up a worldly—and mostly fried—array of bites. Chow down on tall fried chicken sandwiches and Kool-Aid soft serve at Basilisk; or, for some of the most creative Asian food in town, head to Wares, next door: The mini-spinoff of Chef Joanna Ware’s acclaimed restaurant Smallwares serves up dishes like steaming bowls of kimchi stew with Korean rice cakes and fried cheese curd risotto." - Danielle Centoni
