Beastro by Marshawn Lynch, or simply Beastro, was a Korean restaurant in Portland, Oregon, United States.[1] It operated from 2021 to July 2025.
History
[edit]Beastro opened in 2021.[2]
Marshawn Lynch, Jun Park, and Kevin Yamada originally planned to open a Hawaiian restaurant at Hotel Vance called Beast, with recipes by Lynch's Filipino grandmother. However, the proposed name conflicted with Naomi Pomeroy's restaurant of the same name.[3][4] The name 'Beast by Marshawn Lynch & Kama’aina' was changed to 'Beastro'.[5]
The restaurant closed permanently in July 2025.[2]
