Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Carlo Lamagna
From the OpenTable editors: Magna Kusina is one of the most exciting Filipino restaurants in the country, thanks to James Beard Award-nominated chef Carlo Lamagna. In a lively dining room decked with vibrant art and hanging plants, feast on traditional street foods with a modern twist, like housemade squid ink noodles topped with Dungeness crab. Add in playful cocktails like an ube-infused grasshopper, and it’s easy to see why this bold spot was named The Oregonian's 2021 restaurant of the year.
