Portland food news and views
Small Bites is a roundup post I put together when I have a plethora of Portland food news tidbits in any week. It’s sort of an expanded version of Four Things I Learned This Week but can be published on any day (and sometimes take the place of Four Things. if appropriate).
Looks like renovations may come to Thien Hong. Currently under review, the relevant permit with the city includes tenant improvements, “to remodel existing restaurant dining area with new layout, partitions, conveyor belt system, food prep counter, and reception desk; no changes to building envelope or glazing.” 6749 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland

Have you been to El Pollo Chano? I saw some enthusiastic comments online about this place, a food truck with a dedicated smoker there on-site in the parking lot by the Chill Zone smoke shop on NE Sandy and 111th.

Greek Street has opened. This is in the space adjacent to Tréla that was going to be more bakery-focused (Yiayia’s), but they chose a different path. You can see their menu here. I’ll be by soon for some tyrokefteri, a chicken gyro (with fries!), and a lemon lime Vikos soda. 6010 NE Glisan Street, Portland

New lunch service at Sunday Sauce. It started Wednesday, May 6, and on the lunch menu you’ll find hot heroes, cold subs, salads, sides, and desserts. They use bread from Dos Hermanos Bakery, and you can get your subs in a half or a whole configuration.
Nice to see their eggplant parm turned into a sandwich, and this sure sounds good, the “Fresh Mutz”: fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil, arugula, prosciutto, balsamic glaze, extra virgin olive oil, and pesto spread on house focaccia. Lunch is available at Sunday Sauce on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 11am to 2pm. 902 N Killingsworth Street, Portland

Parallel biscuit pop-up at . Head over to Parallel on NE Sandy and 31st Avenue tomorrow morning starting at 9am for their biscuit sandwich (and coffee) pop-up. They’ve been working on this biscuit for a while and are pretty excited about it. They’ll offer it as a pop-up first to see how folks like it, and possibly add it to the regular menu later. I was told, “House made everything even down to the American cheese.”
