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.[2] Instead, Sun Rice opened within the Moxy Portland Downtown.[3] Magna Kubo, described as a "spin-off" of Magna Kusina, operated in Beaverton from 2023 to 2024.[4]

Reception

In 2021, Magna Kusina was named Restaurant of the Year by The Oregonian,[5] and Lamagna was included in Food & Wine class of Best New Chefs.[6] [7] [8] Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the Mom's Crab Fat Noodles in Eater Portland 2024 overview of "iconic" Portland dishes.[9]
