The Best Thai Food in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Akkapong Earl Ninsom’s Paadee puts the spotlight on regional Thai comfort food and Isan food, including its Northeastern Thai plates and fleet of larbs. The dining room here is stylish and warm and great for a date; still, when it comes to Thai takeout, Paadee offers some of the city’s best, with things like exceptional som tum dotted with dried shrimp, the saucy-sweet eggplant dish pad makhua, and the tangy, porky noodle soup known as ba mhee phitsanulok. It’d be criminal to skip the restaurant’s mango sticky rice when it’s in season."
