The Filipino restaurant Sun Rice operates at the Moxy hotel in downtown Portland.[1] The menu includes silogs with options like branzino marinated in sinamak, corned beef, grilled fish, chicken and lamb adobo, and pork belly. There is also a vegetarian variety with maitakes.[2] Sun Rice has also served lemongrass-marinated chicken, lechon kawali, and seared albacore with coconut sauce,[3] as well as a breakfast slider with tocino yogurt sauce, guava iced tea, and doughnuts from HeyDay.[4]
History
[edit]TJ Cruz is the chef and co-owner, along with Ken Tran.[1] Prior to opening at Moxy, the business operated as the pop-up Pulu by Sunrice at the cocktail bar Deadshot.[5][6] In addition to Cruz and Tran, team members included Roberto Almodovar and Justin Dauz.[7][8] Sun Rice had announced plans to be a vendor at Block 216's food hall in collaboration with Magna Kusina,[9][10][11] in an effort to "push Filipino food forward",[12] but plans fell through.[13]
Moxy and Sun Rice have hosted a drag brunch featuring Nicole Onoscopi.[14] Sun Rice has also participated in Sobrang Sarap, a local food tour highlighting Filipino restaurants.[15] In 2023, Sun Rice served bowls of fried rice as free Thanksgiving meals intended for people without holiday plans.[16][17]
Reception
[edit]Katherine Chew Hamilton included the corned beef silog in Portland Monthly's list of the city's ten best dishes of 2023.[18] The restaurant was included in Eater Portland's 2024 lists of "fantastic" Filipino restaurants in the metropolitan area and recommended restaurants in downtown Portland.[2][3]
