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 cooks each run their own kitchen under one roof. Guests order from whichever stands they choose and then sit together in shared dining areas, with options ranging from Asian dishes to burgers to Middle Eastern food.
The building on Pine Street dates to 1886 and housed various commercial businesses for many decades before undergoing a full renovation. It reopened in 2016 as the food hall it is today.
The cooks at Pine Street Market come from very different culinary traditions, and you can move from one counter to the next to compare styles in a single visit. This kind of mix reflects how Portland tends to treat food as a space where many influences coexist naturally.
Pine Street Market sits in central Portland and is easy to reach on foot from most of the downtown area. Since several cooks work at the same time, it is worth walking through the whole space first to see all the options before ordering.
The building is the former United Carriage and Baggage Transfer Building, and the food hall opened in April 2016 after a renovation that cost $5 million. The market is curated by Mike Thelin, co-founder of the Feast Portland food festival.
