About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
Nominated for Best New Restaurant and Best Chef in the James Beard Awards, Gado Gado is an Indonesian-focused restaurant in Portland’s Hollywood neighborhood serving an eclectic menu that derives flavors from owners Thomas and Mariah Pisha-Duffly’s cultural heritage, travels, and culinary backgrounds.

In addition to an extensive à la carte food and drink menu, groups are invited to indulge in a bountiful family-style, chef’s choice Rice Table dinner — Gado Gado’s interpretation of the Dutch-Indonesian “Rijsttafel” feast.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Thomas Pisha-Duffly

From the OpenTable editors: James Beard Award-nominated Gado Gado is what celebratory dreams are made of, thanks to owners Thomas and Mariah Pisha-Duffly’s colorful Indonesian feasts. Order hit dishes like the flaky Malaysian roti à la carte, or go all in on the family-style “rice table” experience for a sampling of curries, grilled meats, and clove-scented rice served on vintage plates. Enjoy it all in the charming dining room with custom bird-and-fish wallpaper or on the outdoor patio with patterned rugs and tablecloths.

    We enjoyed the Rice Table experience. There were four of us and there was plenty of food - we even took some home. The flavors are amazing and the craftsmanship of the food is impeccable. Drinks were delicious and staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The dining room is a bit noisy, but the food and beautiful ambiance help it fade. We look forward to going back.

    Everything is so good- not as intensely spicy as some similar venues in the area. Atmosphere is kitschy and casual but fun.

    Fantastic service, flavorful and innovative food, though portions of some dishes seem mismatched to their cost.

    We sat by the window & the bench was it great, comfort-wise. The people who sat in the chairs said that the chairs, on the other hand, were ultra-comfy. The food was great, & the service was smooth & cordial. We are definitely coming back.

    Some menu items, such as the roti, were priced unreasonably high for the serving size, even for a nice restaurant in Portland!
