September 2026 Story Updates: Aura Dorada, Sushi Dash, and More

September 2026 story updates include some on the west side of town.

We’re back with our September 2026 story updates, from places that have yet to open, to those that are still waiting to open. Enjoy catching up!

Aura Dorada. They’ve been on the search for a new space, as the one they had hoped to open in fell through, as per a colleague in the know. Last week they posted a video hinting at a new location, which was around the intersection of NW Broadway and Everett. Bowery Bagels, John’s Cafe, and the North Park Blocks are all nearby. Could it be the old Stone Soup space? Pearl District, Portland

Angelina’s Will Open in Slabtown in Portland

It’s nice to be able to write about this after first catching wind of it last July. The Sesame Collective folks are opening a restaurant called Angelina’s, an upscale bar and grill, in what was the Cosube space on the ground floor of the Saltwood Apartments building on NW 21st Avenue in Slabtown. They expect to open this summer.

I had a chance to chat with Laura Amans and Kasey Mills at Sesame Collective, and here are some of the things we talked about.
