Gado Gado (restaurant)

Gado Gado is an Asian restaurant in Portland, Oregon.

Description

The restaurant serves Indonesian and Chinese cuisine in Portland's Hollywood neighborhood; the menu includes pork-and-blood-sausage corn dogs, noodle and rice dishes (including nasi goreng with Chinese sausage and Dungeness crab), and salads, including a banana-leaf-smoked duck salad with citrus, lime leaf, and basil.

Gado Gado has been described as a "casual, colorful restaurant, tucked in a nondescript strip mall".

History
