Departure is an Asian restaurant and bar on the fifteenth floor of The Nines, a hotel in downtown Portland's Meier & Frank Building. Portland Monthly describes the restaurant as "a lively hub for creative, ambitious pan-Asian cuisine, a spot where Oregon’s produce, meats, and seafood are transmuted into bold yet comforting dishes that sizzle and pop with the big, bright flavors of chile, lime, and ginger". The menu "encompasses China (spring rolls, siu mai, fried rice) Japan (edamame, sashimi, kushiyaki) and Korea (a good bibimbap, stirred table-side)", and offers vegetarian and vegan options. According to The Oregonian Michael Russell, Departure has a "Miami vibe" and "Asian-influenced" small plates.
