If you've got Guamanian on the mind, a recent opening is need-to-know. Called BIBA! CHamoru Kitchen, the fresh arrival is located at 5013 N.E. 42nd Ave. in Concordia.
BIBA! CHamoru Kitchen serves a variety of Guam-inspired dishes, with menu items like shrimp fritters, corn soup and lumpia — spring rolls filled with ground pork, onions, garlic, green beans, carrots and vermicelli noodles.
According to the business' Facebook page, "CHamoru food has flourished with the contributions of many other cultures."
The brick-and-mortar restaurant is owned by Ed Sablan, who previously ran the food truck PDX671 until 2018.
With a five-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp so far, the new arrival has been warmly received by patrons.
Yelper Andrea P. wrote, “The food is spicy and flavorful. You can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. Taro chips with spicy aioli or pickled cucumbers (or both) are great starters. The corn soup will solve all your problems and make any day better. It is the definition of comfort food."
And Grace Anne C. wrote, "From someone who spent 12 years on Guam, this tasted like home. The flavor profiles of the vinegar for the shrimp fritters and the finadenne were spot on."
BIBA! CHamoru Kitchen is now open at 5013 N.E. 42nd Ave., so stop in to try it for yourself.
