HAfuri Ramen

2 | Ramen. When the acclaimed Japanese ramen chain Afuri decided to open an outpost in the United States in 2016, it chose this modern, high-ceilinged dining room in food-obsessed Portland in part because the exacting culinary team appreciated the city’s pristine, glacially fed water supply, which plays a significant part in the steaming, savory portions of yuzu shio (with chicken broth, yuzu citrus, shimeji mushrooms, seasoned egg, chashu, endive, and nori), one of a half dozen deeply satisfying ramen bowls. The kitchen also turns out flavorful skewers of shishito peppers and chicken thighs, pork dumplings, sushi, and other izakaya-style fare, all of it consistently exceptional. Known for: authentic Japanese ramen; meat and veggie skewers; flights of premium sake. Average main: $18 E 923 S.E. 7th Ave., Central East Side P 503/468–5001 w www.afuri.us.

Baker’s Mark

1 | Deli. Overstuffed hot and cold subs on fresh-baked Italian rolls are the draw at this cheerful shop with skylights, tall wooden counters and tables, and outside picnic tables. Go for one of the classics, like the Godfather with Italian cold cuts and cheeses or the hot meatball sub with house-made marinara, or try the innovative beet-tuna. Known for: short list of excellent salads; lots of customizable side options (bacon, avocado, pepper salad); open daily until 6. Average main: $10 E 1126 S.E. Division St, Division/Clinton P 971/279–4225 w www.thebakersmark.com C No dinner.

Bunk

1 | American. Focusing on both craft cocktails and the exceptionally delicious sandwiches that Portland’s local Bunk chainlet has become justly known for, this trendy spot in the Central East Side has an industrial vibe with soaring ceilings, exposed ducts, and concrete beams. It’s a great lunch option by day, and more of a drinking spot in the evenings, when you might also catch live bands playing, but anytime you visit you can sink your teeth into a pork-belly Cubano, fried chicken, or double cheeseburger. Known for: excellent cocktails; creative extra-stuffed sandwiches; live music some evenings. Average main: $12 E 1028 S.E. Water Ave., Central East Side P 503/328–2865 w www.bunksandwiches.com C No dinner.

In a former warehouse between the Willamette River and the train tracks in the industrial Central East Side, this upscale restaurant serves up inventive, farm-fresh, modern-American cuisine and has an excellent happy hour. The daily changing menu features beautifully plated cheese and charcuterie platters and entrées like fire-grilled leg of lamb with heirloom tomato tapenade, and king salmon with farro, purple cabbage, and a charred tomatillo sauce. Known for: family-style $60 prix-fixe menu option; great happy-hour specials on food and drink; light and airy space in great old industrial building. Average main: $32 E 1001 S.E.

2 | Asian Fusion. The food-and-drink component of the stylish Jupiter Next hotel has quickly become one of the East Side’s hottest destinations for hobnobbing over drinks and creative bar fare, much of it—salmon poke, wagyu steak fajitas—framed around Asian and Latin American elements. The space
