I've lived in the neighborhood for almost 5 years and always wanted to check Oma's out. I took a friend to have my first time experience. Overall, it was pleasant experience. Our dumplings (as part of dumpling week) were the best dumplings that I've tried so far (3rd dumpling spot tried). The entree (BBQ rice) was great as well. The drinks were on the pricey side, but I get that you are not going to Oma's to sit and drink and that the food is the main star. the reservation process was easy (online). The staff was super friendly. The prices were what I expected to pay. My friend and I left happy and I would definitely consider bringing a friend from out of town to experience Oma's. Sorry for not dolling out all 5-star ratings, but I was just comparing my experience with similar eateries that I had been to in the recent few months (I'm kinda on a foodie tour)...

Had such a great experience at Oma's Hideaway! Overall, the food was really tasty and full of flavor. The roti canai was perfectly flaky and comforting, the lamb satay was deliciously seasoned, and the beet salad was an absolute hit — fresh, vibrant, and unexpectedly memorable. The tamarind chicken was a bit underwhelming compared to the other standout dishes, but everything else more than made up for it. The drinks were delicious and well-crafted, and the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

Excellent food and small plates, good guidance and help from the servers to get the correct number of dishes to the table. Wonderful drinks! We sat on the covered patio, and it was loud but fun. Perfect casual, Saturday evening out ambience.

So glad we tried this place out - the food is delicious and the service was fantastic! The decor is definitely on the eclectic and fun side.
We tried the following: 1) Roti canai - it's like an indian paratha with some dips on the side. Flaky and crispy. 2) Crispy eggplant chaat - highly recommend. 5/5. I couldn't believe it was tofu yoghurt. 3) Tamarind mala fried chicken - another dish that hit the spot.
Would definitely go back the next time we are visiting Portland.

The food and cocktails are excellent, but what prompted me to write this review was how helpful our server was accommodating food allergies. It makes a huge difference when we can enjoy our meal without worrying about that. And the food is excellent!

Friendly and welcoming service. The food was different than anything else I have had. Everything had so much flavor. Delicious!

We ordered the fixed menu (Oma's table) for 2. Everything was exceptional, except the eggplant dish, which was tasty, but unfortunately dehydrated the eggplant into crispy chips instead of succulent slices. Curious if this is traditional or something the chef might consider. Definitely plan to return for another meal, perhaps a la carte, to try additional dishes. Overall, some of the most unique, delicious, and reasonable meals we have enjoyed in Portland.

Food and atmosphere was uniquely Portland. However, food is very Asian fusion and not just Malaysian inspired. In fact, most of the food was Chinese not Malaysian. Flavors and recipes are a little chaotic and caters to the American palate. We were seated in the “hideaway” part of the restaurant which was basically just a covered patio. So it was still pretty cold with the environment temperature of 50°.

Great service and roti at this neighborhood spot. Waygu steak was great! Bring back the corn fritters!
Flavorful and creative food! Service was impeccable and servers were attentive and knowledgeable. Cocktails were also top notch. Highly recommend.
Had a phenomenal meal here with PERFECT service. Highly recommend the tasting menu!! Can't wait to come back.
Really loved our meal, server was great, drinks were tasty, and the food was excellent. Can't wait to go back.
Food was amazing. If you go in a group, make sure to do the pre-fix menu option... $65 each but you get to try one of everything!
