Magna Kusina is a Filipino restaurant in Portland, Oregon.

History

Carlo Lamagna opened the restaurant in August 2019.

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

Reception

In 2021, Magna Kusina was named Restaurant of the Year by The Oregonian, and Lamagna was included in Food & Wine's class of Best New Chefs. Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the Mom's Crab Fat Noodles in Eater Portland's 2024 overview of "iconic" Portland dishes. Magna Kusina was included in The Infatuation's 2024 list of Portland's best restaurants.
