For the higher a part of a decade, if not longer, “bowl restaurants” have proliferated the United States. Eating places have opened topping piles of rice or different grains with poke, salad fixings, and burrito fillings, typically at deli-esque fast-casual counters the place diners decide and select their accoutrement. In Portland, eating places like Wild Thing, the Whole Bowl, and Feel Good have cornered this market, in addition to town’s varied poke bars.
However serving stuff on rice is nothing new, in just about any nook of the world. In Japan, donburi — a rice bowl topped with things like vegetables, seafood, meat, and/or dashi — has been a staple since the 1800s at the very latest, although its origins date back to the 1300s. It feels stunning that it took this lengthy, however in Tigard, a restaurant has opened specializing in donburi, with a vibe not not like that of the bowl restaurant wave of the twenty first century.
Donburi Manufacturing facility serves conventional donburi choices, like katsu don and gyudon (right here labeled “beef don”), in addition to the restaurant’s tackle kaisen don, which the restaurant calls chirashi don — contemporary uncooked seafood like tuna and salmon, alongside shrimp and unagi, rigorously organized on prime of the rice. Nevertheless, from there, the restaurant goes a little bit broader, providing dishes like poke bowls and teriyaki as nicely. Sides embrace dishes like inari or crispy fried rooster, in addition to quite a lot of salads.
In contrast to different bowl retailers, recipes are set and never customizable; proprietor Zhongnan Hu, who has about 30 years within the meals business nationally, developed the recipes. That being mentioned, co-owner Olivia Nasteka says the restaurant is supposed to be equally informal and takeout pleasant. “The idea is sort of tweaked to suit the life-style right here, in Oregon, for one thing a little bit extra quick informal,” Nasteka says. “It’s rather more fast-paced within the states, so we’ve created that sort of idea, with informal dine-in as nicely.”
Donburi Manufacturing facility is now open at 10115 SW Nimbus Avenue, #600.
