History

edit

Carlo Lamagna opened the restaurant in August 2019.[2]

The business planned to operate a stall in the food hall at Block 216, as of 2023.[3] Instead, Sun Rice opened within the Moxy Portland Downtown.[4] Magna Kubo, described as a "spin-off" of Magna Kusina, operated in Beaverton from 2023 to 2024.[5]

Reception

edit

In 2021, Magna Kusina was named Restaurant of the Year by The Oregonian,[2] and Lamagna was included in Food & Wine's class of Best New Chefs.[6][7][8] Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the Mom's Crab Fat Noodles in Eater Portland's 2024 overview of "iconic" Portland dishes.[9]
