Pine Street Market, Food hall in Old Town Chinatown, Portland, US
Pine Street Market is a food hall in the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, where several independent food vendors operate side by side inside a single building. Each vendor has its own counter, and the space also includes shared dining areas with communal tables that any customer can use regardless of where they order.
The building was converted into a food hall in 2016 after serving other commercial purposes for many years. The project was driven by figures already involved in Portland's food scene, reflecting a broader shift in how the neighborhood was being used at the time.
The market sits inside a building that has kept some of its original industrial character, with high ceilings and open floor space that give it a warehouse feel. Visitors from different backgrounds tend to mix easily here, drawn together by the shared tables and the variety of food on offer.
The hall tends to get busy around midday on weekdays, when workers from nearby offices fill the communal tables. Going later in the afternoon or early evening usually means a calmer experience and more seating options.
One of the counters inside the market belongs to a local ice cream maker who had already built a strong following in Portland before joining the hall. Another counter is dedicated entirely to handmade bread and pizza, which is unusual for a shared dining space of this kind.
