Pine Street Market, Food hall in Old Town Chinatown, Portland, US.
Pine Street Market is a food hall where several independent cooks run their own kitchens and offer a wide range of meals. The food ranges from traditional Asian dishes to burgers to Middle Eastern specialties, all in one location.
The site was originally a building from 1886 that housed various businesses for a long time before being completely renewed in 2016. This transformation created the current space where multiple cooks work together.
The space brings together cooks from different backgrounds who prepare their food daily, mirroring how Portland embraces diverse eating traditions. Visitors sit together while trying dishes from many culinary roots.
The place is easy to reach and welcomes visitors on most days of the year during regular business hours. It helps to know ahead of time that multiple cooks work at the same time, so you can order different courses from different stands.
Each cook has his own kitchen space, but all share common dining areas, which is an unusual arrangement. This system allows people to eat from several different cooks during a single meal.
